Quote

The goal is to turn data into information and information into insight. Carly Fiorina


The shared data sets are portraying reality, What story are they telling? We need to read the story and discuss it- good, bad, ugly, indifferent


Data is insight through analysis

Review new CHCS AEC 2020-2021 Continuous Improvement Planning Workbook

Consistent communication with scholars is critical within a virtual platform.


Review comparative i-Ready Data

  • SY 2019-2020
  • Beginning of the year 2020-2021


i-Ready decrease for level of performance is impacted because students are interacting with grade level information at the beginning of the year. The i-Ready diagnostic assessment is given at the beginning, middle, and end of the school year.


BOY 2020-2021- Beginning of the year i-Ready data summary K-8 indicates a 20% drop in reading and math from BOY 2019-2020. Leadership team member members indicated this was due to on-campus v virtual learning; "summer-slide" was extended


K-2 data are included in the schoolwide aggregate. The committee members suggested disaggregation of i-ready Reading and Mathematics data summaries to analyze BOY 2020-2021 data for 3-5, 6-8, and 3-8 which is more aligned with GA Milestones. In addition, i-Ready reports need to include % of scholars who participated in the assessment. 26% scholars did not participate during the 2019-2020 EOY assessment window

The Leadership Team members indicated that 100% of the educators have held individual i-Ready conferences with parents. Additional parent conferences for individual scholars will be scheduled in January.








Review Proposed 90 Day Plan

2018-2021 CHCS Academic Goal 1: Obtain a 90 CCRPI Score for all grade bands in 2020 and 2021


2018-2021 CHCS Academic Goal 2: 85% of CHCS 3-8 graders will read at or above grade level


Due to lack of time during our 1 hour session, this agenda item will be during our 1/5/21 meeting

Next Steps

Have all families received individual i-ready conferences for each scholar?


The Leadership Team members indicated that 100% of the parents have received conference notifications and information regarding BOY i-Ready results.


What academic information should be shared at the upcoming board meeting?

i-Ready comparative data from 2019-2020 and 2020-2021. Committee members provided suggestions regarding comparison


What is our recommendation to the board regarding the proposed 90 day plan and recommended priority goals?

This agenda item will be addressed during our next meeting


Next Meeting: January 5, 2021 at 4pm?
