Board reviews Winter iReady results; Leigh pilot may expand Magnetic Reading
Summary
Mr. Biedke presented Winter iReady Math and Reading results for Giles School; Leigh School's Dr. Rabiola reported a third-grade pilot of the Magnetic Reading curriculum and said the district is considering expanding it K–4.
At the Feb. 17 meeting, district staff presented Winter iReady assessment results and preliminary curriculum pilot outcomes.
Mr. Biedke presented Winter iReady results for Math and Reading at Giles School and the Board discussed implications for future curriculum choices for Giles. Separately, Dr. Rabiola reported that since winter break the third-grade team at Leigh School has been piloting the Magnetic Reading curriculum, "a newer version of the program we’ve used for the last few years, but it now fully integrates both reading and writing." Based on the pilot's success, she said the district is considering extending the curriculum to Kindergarten through Fourth grade.
Why it matters: assessment results and early pilots guide instructional decisions that affect classroom materials and staff training. The Board indicated interest in reviewing additional data before making any formal curriculum adoption.
What the minutes record as next steps: staff will continue to review pilot findings and bring recommendations to the Board; no formal adoption or binding vote on curriculum was taken at this meeting.
