Board hears needs-assessment data showing strong MAP growth
Summary
Dr. DeSoto presented building-level blueprints and assessment data showing above-average MAP growth and CAP results at or above state averages; board members were asked to review materials ahead of a more extensive discussion at the next meeting.
Dr. DeSoto presented the district needs-assessment and building-level blueprints, orienting the board to the MAP interim assessment and Kansas Assessment Program (CAP) results and how the documents align to district focus areas: core instruction and tiered systems of support. He asked the board to review the packet before a fuller discussion at the next meeting.
Dr. DeSoto highlighted growth percentiles on MAP, noting many grade-level values in the 70s–90s and describing that 50 is average growth: "So what this says is that we are making tremendous growth within the year," he said. He contrasted rapid math growth — attributed to alignment and PLC work — with more gradual reading gains after one year of Benchmark Advance. He told the board building blueprints will guide school-level implementation and that the guiding coalition will meet Sept. 17 to set goals for the year.
