Plainview-Elgin-Millville Self-Assessment Presented to RAMSP April 28, 2010
Goals • Aim #1: High Student Achievement • Provide an educational environment that challenges all learners to raise their level of achievement • Integrate technology throughout the district as a teaching and learning tool • Partner with parents and communities to foster student learning • Aim #2: A Safe, Welcoming, Engaging Learning Environment • Aim #3: Effective and Efficient Operations
Baseline/Trend Data • Plainview and Elgin-Millville School Districts consolidated in the fall of 2006. • We’ve taken 4 rounds of standardized testing as P-E-M (results available from 2007, 2008, 2009). • We’re still establishing our baseline. We need more data to confirm trends and to make judgments about our next direction.

Lead Indicators • At this time our scores remain consistent (No steep growth, no large dips). • Currently reinvigorating Curriculum Cycle and implementing Staff Evaluation Cycle. These are key elements to creating and maintaining growth at every grade level. • New math series implemented 2009-2010(Waiting to see the effect, which will likely take more than one testing year).
Next Steps • Take advantage of the Mobile Science Lab. We had personnel trained at one point, but never followed up. This would certainly enhance our science efforts. • Continue our commitment to Virtual PLCs with other RAMSP schools. (Thanks to RAMSP Science Subcommittee for coordinating a convenient medium to learn from one another’s expertise.)
Lessons Learned/Best Practices Curriculum sharing between schools is a must. • In the last 2 years, P-E-M has participated in math cohorts with grades 5-12. They’ve all been well received and seem to have enhanced our curriculum. • Teacher-to-Teacher Program • Grade-level science cohorts (a RAMSP initiative a few years ago) were very effective, and the vPLC is a great follow-up using available technology.
Summary • Still establishing a trend as a district. • Data from all assessments tend to put us “in the mix” district-wide, but more information will help us find key issues to address at and within grade levels. • Grade-level cohorts in science and math across districts really help teachers see an immediate impact in their classrooms.
