Rochester Area Math Science Partnership Our Mission: To support high student achievement through world class standards in math and science. 2012 Continuous Improvement Report for the Kingsland School District
Math/Science Goals As Measured By State Assessments • All students in Grades 3-8 and Grade 11 will meet or exceed “proficiency” on the MCA in math • All students in Grades 5, 8, and 10 will meet or exceed “proficiency” on the MCA in science

Lead Indicators • Reading and math scores contain a high degree of variation during the last 2 years • Scores are rebounding from a previous year low • Focusing on standards have yielded positive results
Lessons Learned • District did not make AYP in reading last year • Grade level data fluctuations need/are being addressed • Performance plateaus need/are being addressed • Reading skills need to be strengthened at all levels
ASSESSMENT:FORMATIVE & SUMMATIVE Practices for the Classroom
Formative Assessment • Assessment for learning • Taken at varying intervals throughout a course to provide information and feedback that will help improve - the quality of student learning - the quality of the course itself
Summative Assessment • Assessment oflearning • Generally taken by students at the end of a unit or semester to demonstrate the "sum" of what they have or have not learned • Summative assessment methods are the most traditional way of evaluating student work
GRADING • Through discussion and research, the purpose of a grade is to communicate the academic progress of students to the students and their families • A grade should reflect what a student knows and is able to do in a course of study
NEXT STEPS • Read 180 - build reading and comprehension skills • Implement RTI in the middle level • Implement PLC’s in the high school • Use Data and Data Warehousing for Aimes Web, MCA and NWEA
Project Lead The WaySTEM Education • Problem Solving Skills • Critical Thinking Skills • Team Working Skills • Integrate Across Disciplines
Gateway AcademyPLTW • Magic of Electrons 4th Grade • Flight & Space 5th Grade • Science of Technology 6th Grade • Design & Modeling 7th Grade • Energy & the Environment 8th Grade • Automation & Robotics 9th Grade
Pathway ProgramPLTW • Principles of Engineering Science • Digital Electronics Math • Engineering & Design IT • Computer IntegratedManufacturing IT
Biomedical ProgramPLTW • Principles of Biomedical Science • Human Body Systems • Biomedical Intervention • Biomedical Innovation
