Monroe Public Schools sees early-grade gains; leaders point to I Ready and tiered instruction
Summary
District presenters reported modest, across-the-board increases in proficiency on several measures — notably a 7-point gain in third-grade ELA — and outlined strategies (I Ready diagnostics, tier 1 instruction, coaching) to sustain momentum.
Andrea (Monroe Public Schools presenter) told the board that district ELA and math summaries show marginal increases in several grade bands, with the most notable change "in our 3rd grade m step scores" (a rise just over 7 percentage points year-over-year). She framed the I Ready diagnostics and M-STEP/PSAT cohort work as complementary tools to track progress and plan instruction.
The presentation emphasized district-level strategies to sustain growth: data-driven tier 1 instruction, revised curriculum maps, professional development, and coaching cycles. Andrea said the district is using I Ready to identify students for interventions and to guide classroom routines and planning, and noted that the district will continue to monitor cohorts and adjust supports over time.
