coaching and data analysis to ensure all team members are expert in progress monitoring and being a support
to schools. Various data will be monitored including benchmarks, common assessments, and instructional
programs. Data on literacy levels will also be assessed, as literacy is the foundation for learning in all content
areas.
Benchmarks are given to 2 nd through 6 th grade in Math. These are done 4 times a year. When students are
assessed the data is disaggregated in grade level PLC’s and interventions are created to review and reassess
the challenging areas student by student. Weekly math objectives are being review in PLC’s and team
alignment meetings to discuss how to reteach and obtain student mastery.
DETERMINATION OF CAPACITY BY REVIEWERS AND COMMENTS
Periodic benchmark assessments aligned to state standards
DISTRICT EVIDENCE OF CAPACITY SUBMITTED FOR REVIEW
The district administers four benchmarks aligned with state standards and the district’s pacing calendar. The
benchmarks are derived from the current EduSoft system. While a testing bank of questions provided from
EduSoft is limited in the number of higher level questions, the district curriculum department writes and aligns
benchmark questions to assure depth of knowledge using guidelines provided by the State. In 2012‐13, the
curriculum department will include at least one writing benchmark administered to all grade levels K‐12,
aligned with CCSS. This benchmark will be scored by teachers as we encourage collaborative scoring in
Professional Learning Communities (PLCs).
