District describes K–6 math audit and challenges of new state auto‑enrollment for advanced math
Loading...
Summary
Instruction staff reported K–6 math audit work, midyear DIBELS results showing growth for K–3 readers, and described a new Indiana requirement to auto‑enroll eligible grades 5–7 students into advanced math courses, noting timing issues because iLearn summative results may not be available until September.
District instructional staff presented a K–6 math program audit, shared midyear reading data for K–3 students using the DIBELS screener and discussed implementation issues for a new state auto‑enrollment requirement in math.
Staff said the midyear DIBELS screening shows growth from the beginning to the middle of the year and that results are similar to last year’s performance. On math, presenters outlined a new requirement: any student in grades 5–7 who scores above proficiency on the iLearn assessment and has a C or higher in current coursework will be auto‑enrolled into advanced math courses unless a parent opts the student out.
Instructional staff and board members discussed practical wrinkles: this is the first year of the new iLearn summative assessment and results are not expected to be released until September in some cases, which complicates efforts to auto‑enroll students before the school year begins. Staff said the district is working with other districts and the teachers association on implementation details.
