Wow!
That's all I can really say. After analyzing the data last week, and few more assessments were done and a few more kids changed groups. While I realize that any data measure is just a snap shot in time, I am so proud of the efforts of my staff and my students and of all their families supporting them at home.
We are at a point in time--7 months into this project--where 80% of our grade 2 and 3 learners are meeting or exceeding the reading expectations for their grade level. That is amazing! What is equally amazing in that in this short period of time, we have reduced our most at-risk readings in these age groups from 12.2% of the cohort to 6.7%, and while the percentages are terrific, that represents 4 students--real people--who are no longer "Not Yet Meeting" in their reading goals and reduced the group of students approaching grade appropriate reading levels from 29.7% (22 students) to 13.3% (10 students). That's 12 more students who are now meeting or exceeding their reading benchmarks.
So, that leaves me back to where I started...WOW!!!
