This assessment helps Indiana schools use data to drive instruction aligned to state standards. With these results, teachers identify each student’s learning needs, adjust instruction effectively with progress monitoring, and support skills mastery.
This achievement is to be congratulated as the highest on record in recent years for Madison Elementary, according to a news release from Warsaw Community Schools. While an average growth on a typical year is 10 points, many students grew as many as 27 points over this year; that’s a three-year leap, according to the news release. Parents can schedule their child in sixth grade to take prealgebra online with support from Edgewood Middle School math teacher Sam Wysong.
When a student advances in a math course at the elementary level, it opens up courses in middle school and consequently in high school. That translates into opportunities to take college-credit courses and/or internships as they progress through their career pathway. Over 300 students at Warsaw Community High School earned college credits in 2020, saving families over a million dollars.
“Results have come from teaching standards, focusing on mastery of standards, cycling back to offer individual remediation, and not allowing students to opt-out. Coupled with great strategies like effective and timely feedback, rigor, student relationships, common formative assessments, and creating a positive classroom culture where students are ready to perform with a growth mindset, we’ve witnessed significant growth,” Barkey said.
