All students demonstrate proficiency in Mathematics (Middle)
Objective Description
Trend Analysis
The Accountability and Implementation Board (AIB) and the State Board of Education (SBOE) have set long term targets for (SUBJECT) proficiency on the Maryland Comprehensive Assessment Program (MCAP). The MCAP will build a pathway to college and career readiness by the end of high school, mark the students progress toward this goal from grade 3 through high school, and provide teachers with timely information to inform instruction and provide student support. Data only exists from the 2021-2022 school year – current as the State of Maryland shifted testing requirements to align with college and career readiness after the passage of the Blueprint for Maryland’s Future.
Strategies
- School Improvement Planning: The process for school improvement planning has been refined to: (1) enable earlier and more sustained engagement with schools; (2) foster deeper analysis of school data, including root-cause analysis related to achievement gaps, postsecondary readiness, and discipline disproportionality; and (3) enable more thoughtful planning of school-wide professional learning strategies.
- Analyzing and Responding to Opportunity Gaps along the PreK-12 Continuum: HCPSS leverages data as it becomes available throughout the school year to inform ongoing instructional and support practices. For example, school teams hold regular data conversations using a variety of classroom performance and standardized assessment data to synthesize information about their students and gauge students’ progress toward mastering grade-level standards.
