Summary Statement: Please provide a brief description for how the analyzed data will impact your Inquiry and Action Planning process.CRT 2013-2014Due to statewide testing irregularities, there are no state summative assessment results for 2014-2015. Below is an analysis of 2013-2014 results.The 3rd-5th grade Math CRTs showed an increase in the percent of students proficient from 74.13% proficiency in 2013 to 77.83% proficiency in 2014. Instruction was closely aligned with their ability levels and included minimal focus on concept development. Teachers need to consistently plan mathematics lessons that include a concept development of specific strategies related to the specific domain of mathematics. Students need practice in utilizing multiple strategies for problem solving and opportunities for discourse. The 3rd-5th grade Reading CRTs showed an increase in the percent of students proficient from 66.31%proficiency in 2013 to 73.62% proficiency in 2014. The three year trend however shows that Newton 3rd-5th grade students were 69.88% proficient in Reading. Teachers need to consistently differentiate instruction for reading and include instructional strategies to meet the rigor of text complexity students will be expected to read and respond to in further grades. Instructional strategies including close reading and annotation of text were not evident in lessons across all grade levels.

Star Reading Assessment 2016-2017The data for the Star Reading Assessment shows from Winter 2015 to Fall 2016 a consistent decrease in the percent of students proficient. This decrease may be due to the date the assessment was taken. There was no Fall data for 2015-2016.
