Loading...
Summary
Mrs. Goodson presented finalized Idaho Reading Indicator (IRI) and ISAT spring assessment data. The district generally performs at or above state averages; sixth grade showed a modest dip below state average. The board was directed to school-level appendices and student-level trajectory reports for planned interventions.
Mrs. Goodson presented the district's finalized Idaho Reading Indicator (IRI) and spring ISAT results, explaining the IRI is administered in grades K—3 (fall and spring) and ISAT ELA is administered in grades 3— and once at the high-school level. She said kindergarten proficiency is slightly above the state average and most tested grades are at or above the state averages in spring ELA ISAT; grade six was noted as sitting "a little below the state's average."
Goodson said individual schools receive their own school-level data and grade-level teams use that information to identify gaps. She said the district also provides trajectory reports at the individual-student level so teachers and principals can track the growth a student needs to reach proficiency within the next three years. Goodson told trustees she had included three years of historical, school-by-school data in the meeting appendices.
Board members asked whether the sixth-grade dip was a cohort effect or related to transition to middle school. Goodson said the district examines cohorts and, where appropriate, seventh-grade staff will address identified gaps. Trustees and staff agreed principals will set focused goals and use the provided appendices to monitor progress.
