Summary
District staff presented interim Goal 2a monitoring results showing increases in third-grade math growth on NWEA; trustees accepted the report after hearing classroom examples, data drivers, barriers and next steps.
The Oklahoma City Public Schools board accepted an interim monitoring report showing steady gains in third-grade growth on NWEA assessments.
District and school staff presented classroom-level examples and district analyses. Third-grade teachers from Hillcrest and Arthur Elementaries described instructional strategies — including backward planning, calendar math, manipulatives and small-group interventions — and student leaders cited measurable NWEA score gains.
A district presenter outlined interim goal 2a, which tracks the percentage of third graders realizing growth at or above the 60th percentile on the NWEA MAP Growth assessment. The presenter shared that the district baseline was about 40.6% in 2024, rose to about 43.1 last winter and this winter reached roughly 46.3–46.8 percent toward a longer-term 2028 target of 56%.
Instructional leaders identified barriers, notably inconsistent implementation across classrooms, limited time for data analysis and coaching-resource constraints. Next steps include targeted professional development, coaching cycles, clearer tiered intervention criteria and summer PD sessions. After board deliberation the board moved to accept the monitoring report; the chair announced the vote carried 7–0.
