We have not yet decided on the arragement of the content for this course so materials may be have the content \"integrated\" or \"traditionally\" arranged. We are interested in reviewing both (or other options). This course serves as a 3rd credit in high school math and helps transition students to higher levels of math who may have struggled in Algebra 1 and Geometry.  <br />\r\n<br />\r\nThis title and description comes from the Washington State Course Codes #02055 as follows:<br />\r\nTransition Algebra courses review and extend algebra and geometry concepts for students who have already taken Algebra 1 and Geometry.  Transition Algebra courses include a review of such topics as properties  and operations of real numbers; evaluation of rational algebraic expressions; solutions and graphs of first degree equations and inequalities; translation of word problems into equations; operations with and factoring of polynomials; simple quadratics; properties of plane and solid figures; rules of congruence and similarity; coordinate geometry including lines, segments and circles in the coordinate plane; and angle measurement in triangles including trigonometric ratios.<br />\r\nWe have identified the following Common Core State Standards as \"power standards\" for this course:<br />\r\nF- IF.1<br />\r\nUnderstand that a function from one set (called the domain) to<br />\r\nanother set (called the range) assigns to each element of the domain<br />\r\nexactly one element of the range. If f is a function and x is an element<br />\r\nof its domain, then f(x) denotes the output of f corresponding to the<br />\r\ninput x. The graph of f is the graph of the equation y = f(x).<br />\r\n<br />\r\nF-IF.2<br />\r\nUse function notation, evaluate functions for inputs in their domains,<br />\r\nand interpret statements that use function notation in terms of a<br />\r\ncontext.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nF-IF.4<br />\r\nFor a function that models a relationship between two quantities,<br />\r\ninterpret key features of graphs and tables in terms of the quantities,<br />\r\nand sketch graphs showing key features given a verbal description<br />\r\nof the relationship. Key features include: intercepts; intervals where the<br />\r\nfunction is increasing, decreasing, positive, or negative; relative maximums<br />\r\nand minimums; symmetries; end behavior; and periodicity.★<br />\r\n<br />\r\nF-IF.8<br />\r\nWrite a function defined by an expression in different but equivalent<br />\r\nforms to reveal and explain different properties of the function.<br />\r\na. Use the process of factoring and completing the square in a<br />\r\nquadratic function to show zeros, extreme values, and symmetry<br />\r\nof the graph, and interpret these in terms of a context.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nF-IF.9<br />\r\nCompare properties of two functions each represented in a different<br />\r\nway (algebraically, graphically, numerically in tables, or by verbal<br />\r\ndescriptions). For example, given a graph of one quadratic function and<br />\r\nan algebraic expression for another, say which has the larger maximum.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nF-LE.1<br />\r\nDistinguish between situations that can be modeled with linear<br />\r\nfunctions and with exponential functions.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nF-LE.2<br />\r\nConstruct linear and exponential functions, including arithmetic and<br />\r\ngeometric sequences, given a graph, a description of a relationship, or<br />\r\ntwo input-output pairs (include reading these from a table).<br />\r\n<br />\r\nF-LE.5<br />\r\nInterpret the parameters in a linear or exponential function in terms of<br />\r\na context.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nA-APR.3<br />\r\nIdentify zeros of polynomials when suitable factorizations are<br />\r\navailable, and use the zeros to construct a rough graph of the function<br />\r\ndefined by the polynomial.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nA-REI.3<br />\r\nSolve linear equations and inequalities in one variable, including<br />\r\nequations with coefficients represented by letters.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nA-REI.6<br />\r\nSolve systems of linear equations exactly and approximately (e.g., with<br />\r\ngraphs), focusing on pairs of linear equations in two variables.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nA-REI.11<br />\r\nExplain why the x-coordinates of the points where the graphs of<br />\r\nthe equations y = f(x) and y = g(x) intersect are the solutions of the<br />\r\nequation f(x) = g(x); find the solutions approximately, e.g., using<br />\r\ntechnology to graph the functions, make tables of values, or find<br />\r\nsuccessive approximations. Include cases where f(x) and/or g(x)<br />\r\nare linear, polynomial, rational, absolute value, exponential, and<br />\r\nlogarithmic functions.★<br />\r\n<br />\r\nN-RN.2<br />\r\nRewrite expressions involving radicals and rational exponents using<br />\r\nthe properties of exponents.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nG-CO.9<br />\r\nProve theorems about lines and angles. Theorems include: vertical<br />\r\nangles are congruent; when a transversal crosses parallel lines, alternate<br />\r\ninterior angles are congruent and corresponding angles are congruent;<br />\r\npoints on a perpendicular bisector of a line segment are exactly those<br />\r\nequidistant from the segment’s endpoints.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nG-CO.10 <br />\r\nProve theorems about triangles. Theorems include: measures of interior<br />\r\nangles of a triangle sum to 180°; base angles of isosceles triangles are<br />\r\ncongruent; the segment joining midpoints of two sides of a triangle is<br />\r\nparallel to the third side and half the length; the medians of a triangle<br />\r\nmeet at a point.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nG-CO.11<br />\r\nProve theorems about parallelograms. Theorems include: opposite<br />\r\nsides are congruent, opposite angles are congruent, the diagonals<br />\r\nof a parallelogram bisect each other, and conversely, rectangles are<br />\r\nparallelograms with congruent diagonals.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nG-SRT.5<br />\r\nUse congruence and similarity criteria for triangles to solve problems<br />\r\nand to prove relationships in geometric figures.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nG-SRT.8<br />\r\nUse trigonometric ratios and the Pythagorean Theorem to solve right<br />\r\ntriangles in applied problems.★<br />\r\n<br />\r\nG-GPE.4<br />\r\nUse coordinates to prove simple geometric theorems algebraically. For<br />\r\nexample, prove or disprove that a figure defined by four given points in the<br />\r\ncoordinate plane is a rectangle; prove or disprove that the point (1, √3) lies<br />\r\non the circle centered at the origin and containing the point (0, 2).<br />\r\n<br />\r\nPlease contact me if further information is needed for you to make selections on materials.',1),(11,NULL,'2012-01-12 19:02:27','Sharon Stewart','Admin.

There will be time for discussion about OER overall, and within the upcoming legislative session, what role NWERA might play to support an informed dialogue about the topic with state policy makers.</span></span></p>\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt;\"><strong style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%; font-size: 11pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: Bookman Old Style;\"> </span></span></strong></p>\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt;\"><strong style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%; font-size: 11pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: Bookman Old Style;\"> </span></span></strong></p>\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt;\"><strong style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%; font-size: 11pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: Bookman Old Style;\">Welcome and Introductions</span></span></strong></p>\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-indent: 0.5in; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;\"><strong style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%; font-size: 11pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: Bookman Old Style;\">Jody McCrain </span></span></strong></p>\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt;\"><strong style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%; font-size: 11pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: Bookman Old Style;\"> </span></span></strong></p>\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt;\"><strong style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%; font-size: 11pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: Bookman Old Style;\">OSPI Update: State of Common Core State Standards Implementation</span></span></strong></p>\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-indent: 0.5in; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;\"><strong style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%; font-size: 11pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: Bookman Old Style;\">Jessica Vavrus, OSPI</span></span></strong></p>\r\n<p class=\"MsoListParagraph\" style=\"text-indent: -0.25in; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo1;\"><a name=\"_GoBack\"></a></p>',1,0,'0000-00-00 00:00:00',2,'{\"category_layout\":\"\",\"image\":\"\"}','','','{\"author\":\"\",\"robots\":\"\"}',125,'2011-12-07 19:38:34',125,'2011-12-07 19:38:54',0,'*'),(19,173,7,4,5,2,'public/dept-of-education','com_content','Department of Education','dept-of-education','','',1,0,'0000-00-00 00:00:00',1,'{\"category_layout\":\"\",\"image\":\"\"}','','','{\"author\":\"\",\"robots\":\"\"}',42,'2012-03-29 23:44:33',0,'0000-00-00 00:00:00',0,'*'),(20,207,7,6,7,2,'public/news','com_content','What\'s News','news','','',1,0,'0000-00-00 00:00:00',1,'{\"category_layout\":\"\",\"image\":\"\"}','','','{\"author\":\"\",\"robots\":\"\"}',42,'2013-02-27 15:44:51',0,'0000-00-00 00:00:00',0,'*');

Advocates believe using tablets instead will save money and improve learning.</p>\r\n<p>The FCC based its $3 billion cost savings estimate on the assumption that today’s tablet cost of $250 each will drop to $150 as schools buy tablets in bulk, hardware gets cheaper and technology advances.</p>\r\n<p>Based on these parameters, the future savings would result in saving $60 per student, which considering there are more than 49 million students in public schools equates to nearly $3 billion in savings — nearly half the price of traditional textbooks today. Still, how can a price reduction of $100 in tablets only result in a $60 savings? Other factors besides the fixed price of the tablets account for the difference.</p>\r\n<p>Hidden  Costs  of  Tablets:  Can  Schools’  Tech  Infrastructure  Handle  It?</p>\r\n<p>Late last year, the New York City public schools banned new iPads and other mobile devices from using schools’ Wi-Fi. Widespread iPad, iPod Touch, iPhone and Android phone use maxed out IT departments’ Exchange servers, said Tom Kambouras, deputy CTO of the New York City school system.</p>\r\n<p>New York City spent more than $1 million on iPads for teachers earlier this year, possibly taking on more technology than its infrastructure was ready to handle. Even if public school systems can offset the cost of mobile devices with federal grants and other programs, they will still need dollars for network improvements to accommodate them.</p>\r\n<p>Still, educators are betting big that the transition is worth it. Tablets are especially suited for today’s fast-paced, modern learning environments and tablet versions of textbooks, with interactive and visual tools for teachers, appeal to the changing preferences of increasingly plugged-in young students.</p>\r\n<p>The picture is rosy, but is there scientific evidence to back up the benefits of learning on tablets? Some early studies reveal mixed and interesting results.</p>\r\n<h3>Do  Tablets  Really  Improve  Learning?</h3>\r\n<p>Publisher Houghton Mifflin Harcourt tested an interactive, digital version of an Algebra 1 textbook for Apple’s iPad in California’s Riverside Unified School District. Students who used the iPad version scored 20 percent higher on standardized tests versus students who learned with traditional textbooks.</p>\r\n<p>The program, which replaced worn textbooks with interactive, digital versions with video, graphics and built-in quizzes that invited students to participate and give instant feedback, spurred positive comments that students using the iPad version were “more motivated, attentive, and engaged” than those with the paper algebra books.</p>\r\n<p>This pilot program reveals when it comes to engaging today’s students, it’s not the content that matters, but the format. Students in the California experiment accessed the same content on the iPad as in a traditional book, but those who used the digital version tested higher. That may not be true for all subjects and over time.</p>\r\n<p>A small but growing number of researchers are uncovering evidence that readers are better able to remember what they read in printed books long-term when compared to materials read via an electronic screen, raising questions about tablets in the classroom.</p>\r\n<p>For example, Kate Garland, a lecturer in psychology at the University of Leicester in England, conducted a study on the effects of e-books on memory, “bombarding” psychology students with questions on economics on digital and printed versions of texts, and found learning differences.</p>\r\n<p>Students using digital versions of the unfamiliar material had to read the same information several times to gain the same level of knowledge as print readers. Students reading printed books seemed to more fully digest and understand the material.</p>\r\n<p>Tablets’ success in replacing text books will also come down to educational apps. Between them, Apple and Google offer over a millions apps, and educators will be challenged to curate the best and most appropriate for schools.</p>\r\n<p>Students with special learning needs may offer the most concrete evidence of the benefits of tablets in the classroom. Advocates, desperate to bridge the educational gaps in children with learning issues, are ahead of traditional educational leaders, since children with special learning needs used tablets and apps early on.</p>\r\n<p>Apps help autistic children develop skills, for example, but experts believe the wide spectrum of the disorder and the novelty of the technology needs to be tightly integrated and supported by sound educational research to more completely address the challenges facing children with special needs.</p>\r\n<p>Some tablet apps help give those with language delays a voice, while others help kids learn to navigate often bewildering social situations and reduce their stress. Yet some more apps improve fine-motor skills to help children write and manipulate small objects, offering evidence that tablets do have concrete benefits in the classroom, at least for some students.</p>\r\n<h3>An  Inevitability?</h3>\r\n<p>Tablets are here and will come to classrooms, either through parents who can afford them or by school districts who take the plunge. A joint report by McKinsey and the GSMA predict the m-Education market could be worth $70 billion globally by 2020 and predicts demand for m-education devices, like smartphones and tablets, may be worth another $32 billion by the same timeframe.</p>\r\n<p>Educators can point to many positives of digital books.

Teachers\" style=\"font-size: 10px;\">Read the origional post at KUOW.org</a></h2>\r\n<p>This fall, some classes may get harder for public school students — and teachers — across Washington. That\'s when many districts will roll out new, more rigorous language arts and math standards, known as the Common Core. Washington is one of 45 states that have adopted the same set of K-12 standards.</p>\r\n','\r\n<p> </p>\r\n<p>Some Washington teachers have already started using them. At Sylvester Middle School in Burien, teacher Christy Bowman-White read a poem about a nail-biter basketball shot to her honors language arts class on a recent school day.</p>\r\n<p>\"The ball slides up and out, lands, leans, wobbles, wavers, hesitates, plays it coy,\" Bowman-White read the poem slowly so her students could savor each word.</p>\r\n<p>Bowman-White had a very specific goal for her class that day.</p>\r\n<p>\"Here it is,\" she told her students. \"Analyze the impact of rhymes and other repetitions of sound on a specific verse or stanza of a poem.\"</p>\r\n<p>That\'s one of the Common Core State Standards. The new learning objectives are meant to prepare kids for college, and to make sure students here in Burien are on the same page as students across the county and across the country. Until now, each state had its own, often very different, set of standards.</p>\r\n<p>Until now, each state had its own, often very different, set of standards.</p>\r\n<p>In language arts, for example, students are supposed to read more difficult books, more non-fiction, and use more textual evidence to support their arguments. Although most classrooms in Washington won\'t incorporate the Common Core standards until this fall at the earliest, these students in the Highline School District have been learning the new, tougher standards all year.</p>\r\n<p>Reinventing Lesson Plans</p>\r\n<p>There’s no set Common Core curriculum; it’s up to teachers to decide how to teach the rigorous standards.</p>\r\n<p>In Bowman-White’s class, she asked the students to cite the sounds at play in the basketball poem she chose.</p>\r\n<p>One student raised her hand tentatively. \"Right here, with all these \'s\' sounds and all these calm words, it makes you feel calm,\" she says. Bowman-White nods.</p>\r\n<p>In her first year of using the new standards, Bowman-White said she’s found they help students become better thinkers. She says the Common Core is better organized than Washington’s last set of standards, which seemed really random to her. Bowman-White said even though only some of the old standards appeared on a previous state standardized language arts test, the Washington Assessment of Student Learning, the list of standards she was supposed to teach filled a book.</p>\r\n<p>\"It was like a little bit of this, a little bit of that, and they put a \'W\' next to the ones that would appear on the WASL. And so everybody paid attention to just those 12,\" she said. \"It was kind of a muck. And who knows what students were really learning. It turns out maybe not so much.\"</p>\r\n<p>\"It\'s a big jump. It\'s a big, big jump.\"</p>\r\n<p>New State Tests Coming</p>\r\n<p>In 2015, students in Washington will start taking new statewide tests reflecting the Common Core objectives. Bowman-White said even though the state tests are two years away, the increased rigor of the new standards makes it important to get a head start. \"It’s a big jump. It’s a big, big jump,\" she said.</p>\r\n<p>Bowman-White said the students in her honors class take fairly easily to the increased focus on analysis, like the repeating sounds in the poem. But she said that level of analysis is trickier in her non-honors classes. Most students, she said, need more preparation. \"In other classes they wouldn’t have been able to access [the lesson] because they wouldn’t have noticed the sounds repeating in the first place,\" Bowman-White said. \"So a lot of lessons [have to be] built to get them to do the one standard that’s listed, and there’s not a lot of time in the year to do things like that.\"</p>\r\n<p>\"We have been forced to teach more curriculum at a higher level to less-ready students consistently over the years.\"</p>\r\n<p>Some Teachers Wary</p>\r\n<p>Noam Gundle shares that concern. He’s a science teacher at Ballard High School in Seattle. Gundle said he doesn\'t have a problem with rigor or standards, but questions whether Washington schools are prepared for the Common Core.</p>\r\n<p>\"As educators, we have been forced to teach more curriculum at a higher level to less-ready students consistently over the years,\" Gundle said. \"The accountability for teachers has gone up, but the resources for teachers and for students and for classrooms and for schools has consistently gone down. And at some point, that doesn’t work.\"</p>\r\n<p>Gundle said the main beneficiary of the standards may not be students, but rather the testing companies whose products can soon be more standardized than ever. He also takes issue with the fact that the Gates Foundation is a major promoter and financial backer of the Common Core. The foundation lists the standards as a pillar of its strategy to get kids ready for college.</p>\r\n<p>While the Common Core has a lot of support among teachers, many in education consider the Gates Foundation’s education initiatives to be based more in ideology than in research. \"We have gotten burned so many times in the past with the flavor-of-the-month of the Gates Foundation, the new test that they think is going to solve all the problems in education,\" said Gundle. \"But the reality is: Testing is not teaching. Teaching is teaching.\"</p>\r\n<p>Bipartisan Effort</p>\r\n<p>State Superintendent of Public Instruction Randy Dorn takes issue with that argument. \"Let’s not get into propaganda. Let’s get into the facts,\" Dorn said. He argues that it wasn’t the Gates Foundation that came up with the new standards. \"This was Republican and Democratic governors,\" he said. \"It was nonpartisan educators getting together and saying \'what’s the best thing for our students of our own states?\' And then we agreed to do it.\"</p>\r\n<p>Dorn acknowledges that moving to the Common Core standards will be difficult and expensive. But he said change is always hard. And hopefully, he said, the legislature is about to come through with more money for schools.</p>\r\n<p>\"Is it hard? Yes. But it\'s necessary. We have to do it.\"</p>\r\n<p>Bowman-White said even after countless hours building all-new lesson plans around the standards, she still has a lot of work to do. In order to implement the new standards well, she plans to spend her summer working with fellow teachers on new and better ways to help every student meet the more rigorous demands of the Common Core.</p>\r\n<p>Although it can be overwhelming, to her it\'s worth it. \"We’re saying every group of students in every school needs to have access to the same type of thing, and they don’t. It’s an equity problem,\" she said. \"So is it hard? Yes. But it’s necessary. We have to do it.\"</p>',1,0,0,20,'2013-06-15 17:07:13',42,'','2013-06-18 04:07:16',42,0,'0000-00-00 00:00:00','2013-06-18 04:05:34','0000-00-00 00:00:00','','','{\"show_title\":\"\",\"link_titles\":\"\",\"show_intro\":\"\",\"show_category\":\"\",\"link_category\":\"\",\"show_parent_category\":\"\",\"link_parent_category\":\"\",\"show_author\":\"\",\"link_author\":\"\",\"show_create_date\":\"\",\"show_modify_date\":\"\",\"show_publish_date\":\"\",\"show_item_navigation\":\"\",\"show_icons\":\"\",\"show_print_icon\":\"\",\"show_email_icon\":\"\",\"show_vote\":\"\",\"show_hits\":\"\",\"show_noauth\":\"\",\"alternative_readmore\":\"\",\"article_layout\":\"\"}',4,0,9,'','',1,564,'{\"robots\":\"\",\"author\":\"\",\"rights\":\"\",\"xreference\":\"\"}',0,'*',''),(153,212,'The Ideal v.

The assessment was called for by Governor Kitzhaber and passed by the Legislature in 2012, and is a key aspect of the Governor’s early childhood reform efforts. With over 95% of all entering kindergarteners participating in the assessment, the results provide an unprecedented and sobering look at the readiness of Oregon’s youngest learners.</p>\r\n<p>“Today’s results validate our focus on reforming Oregon’s historically scattershot approach to early learning,” said Governor Kitzhaber. “This assessment will help drive our current early learning reforms and accountability for results, and should serve as a challenge to all our communities to focus on kindergarten readiness with a true sense of urgency.”</p>\r\n<p>The assessment was designed to focus on the areas that are most strongly linked to 3rd grade reading, which is one of the strongest predictors of future academic success. These results will be used by schools, districts, early learning hubs, and providers of early learning services to focus resources and proven programs on the areas of greatest need. Some results give a startling look at the state of early childhood development in Oregon. For instance, 33% of entering kindergarteners could name five or fewer letters of the alphabet and 14% couldn’t name a single letter.</p>\r\n<p>“The Kindergarten Assessment information will provide us critical baseline data so that educators can ensure students are poised to read at grade level by 3rd grade,” said Chief Education Officer Nancy Golden.  “We know that early education plays a profound role in a student\'s trajectory, and the ability to provide concrete feedback to early education providers creates tremendous system alignment and focus towards the third grade reading benchmark.”</p>\r\n<p>By highlighting gaps in student knowledge and skill – and gaps between student subgroups and underserved communities – these results provide direction and urgency for early action. In addition, results provide a baseline for tracking trends over time, measuring progress and increasing accountability.</p>\r\n<p><strong>The Results</strong><br />The test was comprised of three main elements: two 60 second literacy measures, an early math measure, and a teacher observation component which assessed the student’s approaches to learning including interpersonal skills and self-regulation.<strong></strong></p>\r\n<p><strong>Early Literacy and Math</strong><br />These measures were designed to assess some of the skills entering kindergarteners had in early literacy and math. Students build on these early skills as they start learning to read, write, and do simple math problems, and this early assessment provides teachers and parents with information about students’ strengths and areas that could use additional focus and development.</p>\r\n<p>The early literacy measures were designed to assess fluency in the identification of letter names and letter sounds. Early letter fluency is a key contributor to later reading development and academic success. Students were shown a chart with 100 letters – both lower case and upper case – and were asked to identify as many letter names as they could within 60 seconds.  They were also shown a chart with 110 letters and letter combinations and were asked to produce as many letter sounds as they could within 60 seconds. The numbers below represent the average number of letter names and letter sounds students named correctly in the 60 second fluency assessments.</p>\r\n<p>For the early math assessment, students were posed 16 simple math questions that addressed addition, subtraction, patterns, and number recognition and were asked to point at the correct answer.  The numbers below show the average number of questions a student got correct.  This assessment was not timed but generally took 5 to 9 minutes.</p>\r\n<table border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" width=\"100%\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td class=\"td8\" valign=\"middle\">\r\n<p class=\"p20\"><strong>Student Group</strong></p>\r\n</td>\r\n<td class=\"td9\" valign=\"middle\">\r\n<p class=\"p20\"><strong>Early Literacy:</strong></p>\r\n<p class=\"p20\"><strong>Letter Names</strong></p>\r\n</td>\r\n<td class=\"td10\" valign=\"middle\">\r\n<p class=\"p20\"><strong>Early Literacy:</strong></p>\r\n<p class=\"p20\"><strong>Letter Sounds</strong></p>\r\n</td>\r\n<td class=\"td11\" valign=\"middle\">\r\n<p class=\"p20\"><strong>Early Math:</strong></p>\r\n<p class=\"p20\"><strong>Numbers &amp; Operations</strong></p>\r\n</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td class=\"td8\" valign=\"middle\">\r\n<p class=\"p20\">All Students</p>\r\n</td>\r\n<td class=\"td9\" valign=\"middle\">\r\n<p class=\"p20\">18.5</p>\r\n</td>\r\n<td class=\"td10\" valign=\"middle\">\r\n<p class=\"p20\">6.7</p>\r\n</td>\r\n<td class=\"td11\" valign=\"middle\">\r\n<p class=\"p20\">8.0</p>\r\n</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td class=\"td8\" valign=\"middle\">\r\n<p class=\"p20\">Asian</p>\r\n</td>\r\n<td class=\"td9\" valign=\"middle\">\r\n<p class=\"p20\">29.9</p>\r\n</td>\r\n<td class=\"td10\" valign=\"middle\">\r\n<p class=\"p20\">12.3</p>\r\n</td>\r\n<td class=\"td11\" valign=\"middle\">\r\n<p class=\"p20\">9.4</p>\r\n</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td class=\"td8\" valign=\"middle\">\r\n<p class=\"p20\">African American</p>\r\n</td>\r\n<td class=\"td9\" valign=\"middle\">\r\n<p class=\"p20\">19.1</p>\r\n</td>\r\n<td class=\"td10\" valign=\"middle\">\r\n<p class=\"p20\">6.2</p>\r\n</td>\r\n<td class=\"td11\" valign=\"middle\">\r\n<p class=\"p20\">7.2</p>\r\n</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td class=\"td8\" valign=\"middle\">\r\n<p class=\"p20\">Hispanic</p>\r\n</td>\r\n<td class=\"td9\" valign=\"middle\">\r\n<p class=\"p20\">9.8</p>\r\n</td>\r\n<td class=\"td10\" valign=\"middle\">\r\n<p class=\"p20\">2.9</p>\r\n</td>\r\n<td class=\"td11\" valign=\"middle\">\r\n<p class=\"p20\">6.8</p>\r\n</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td class=\"td8\" valign=\"middle\">\r\n<p class=\"p20\">Native American</p>\r\n</td>\r\n<td class=\"td9\" valign=\"middle\">\r\n<p class=\"p20\">14.5</p>\r\n</td>\r\n<td class=\"td10\" valign=\"middle\">\r\n<p class=\"p20\">4.7</p>\r\n</td>\r\n<td class=\"td11\" valign=\"middle\">\r\n<p class=\"p20\">7.2</p>\r\n</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td class=\"td8\" valign=\"middle\">\r\n<p class=\"p20\">Multi-Ethnic</p>\r\n</td>\r\n<td class=\"td9\" valign=\"middle\">\r\n<p class=\"p20\">21.3</p>\r\n</td>\r\n<td class=\"td10\" valign=\"middle\">\r\n<p class=\"p20\">7.9</p>\r\n</td>\r\n<td class=\"td11\" valign=\"middle\">\r\n<p class=\"p20\">8.4</p>\r\n</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td class=\"td8\" valign=\"middle\">\r\n<p class=\"p20\">Pacific Islander</p>\r\n</td>\r\n<td class=\"td9\" valign=\"middle\">\r\n<p class=\"p20\">14.7</p>\r\n</td>\r\n<td class=\"td10\" valign=\"middle\">\r\n<p class=\"p20\">4.2</p>\r\n</td>\r\n<td class=\"td11\" valign=\"middle\">\r\n<p class=\"p20\">7.0</p>\r\n</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td class=\"td8\" valign=\"middle\">\r\n<p class=\"p20\">White</p>\r\n</td>\r\n<td class=\"td9\" valign=\"middle\">\r\n<p class=\"p20\">20.9</p>\r\n</td>\r\n<td class=\"td10\" valign=\"middle\">\r\n<p class=\"p20\">7.8</p>\r\n</td>\r\n<td class=\"td11\" valign=\"middle\">\r\n<p class=\"p20\">8.4</p>\r\n</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td class=\"td8\" valign=\"middle\">\r\n<p class=\"p20\">Female</p>\r\n</td>\r\n<td class=\"td9\" valign=\"middle\">\r\n<p class=\"p20\">19.2</p>\r\n</td>\r\n<td class=\"td10\" valign=\"middle\">\r\n<p class=\"p20\">7.1</p>\r\n</td>\r\n<td class=\"td11\" valign=\"middle\">\r\n<p class=\"p20\">8.0</p>\r\n</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td class=\"td8\" valign=\"middle\">\r\n<p class=\"p20\">Male</p>\r\n</td>\r\n<td class=\"td9\" valign=\"middle\">\r\n<p class=\"p20\">17.8</p>\r\n</td>\r\n<td class=\"td10\" valign=\"middle\">\r\n<p class=\"p20\">6.4</p>\r\n</td>\r\n<td class=\"td11\" valign=\"middle\">\r\n<p class=\"p20\">8.0</p>\r\n</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</tbody>\r\n</table>\r\n<p><strong>Approaches to Learning</strong><br />How a student approaches learning and his or her ability to focus, persevere at a task, and work with others are also critical skills which must be developed and practiced.  Teachers observed students during regular classroom activities and assessed students on 15 factors related to self-regulation and interpersonal skills using a research validated assessment tool.

New dropout data captures more kids</p>\r\n<p>(<em>Salem, Ore.</em>) — Deputy Superintendent Rob Saxton today announced that Oregon\'s 4-year graduation rate for 2013 was 68.7%, up only slightly from the previous year\'s rate of 68.4%. The 4-year graduation rate has increased 2.5% over the past five years. When the graduation rate increases, generally we would anticipate seeing a flat or declining dropout rate. However, this year, that was not the case. As part of ongoing data improvement efforts, the state identified an issue relating to the reporting of dropout data. Previous years\' reports did not include students who dropped out during the month of June. Including these June dropouts, a total of 3.98% of students dropped out of high school last year. This is a more accurate dropout count than counts from previous years and should be considered a new baseline.</p>\r\n<p>\"While I\'m pleased to see our graduation numbers increasing, we simply aren\'t seeing the pace of change we need,\" said Deputy Superintendent Rob Saxton. \"However, true systems change — including how well we support our students on their path to higher education and workforce training — takes time and starts early. Our recently released kindergarten assessment results are an excellent reminder of the importance of giving students that strong early start. Improving our graduation rate begins with getting students prepared for kindergarten, ensuring they are strong readers by third grade, making sure to address issues of chronic absenteeism, and finally helping students connect to the world of work and earn college credits while in high school. We have laid the foundation for these critical efforts, and I believe that if we keep moving forward with intention and urgency we will start to see more significant gains. But change will not happen overnight, and it will not happen without all of us working to improve the opportunities and outcomes for our students.\"</p>\r\n<p><span>Oregon has set an ambitious goal, known as 40-40-20, that calls for a 100% high school completion rate by the year 2025. This means that 100% of students would earn a high school diploma or equivalent within 5 years of entering high school. </span>In order to capture how well our state is doing in getting all students to the high school completion mark, the Oregon Department of Education tracks both a 4-year and 5-year high school graduation rate and a 4-year and 5-year high school completer rate. The graduation rates look at the number of students who receive a regular high school diploma within 4 or 5 years of entering high school. The completer rates are broader than the graduation rates and also include students who received a GED, Modified Diploma, Extended Diploma, or Adult High School Diploma within that timeframe. <span>Last year, Oregon\'s five year completion rate was 81.5%, up one percent from the previous year.</span></p>\r\n<p>\"As we work towards reaching the state goal of 100% of students completing high school by 2025, these results certainly aren\'t in line with where we hoped we\'d be,\" said Chief Education Officer Nancy Golden \"That said, meaningful systemic change does take time, and I believe deeply in the alignment, collaboration, and focus we\'re building throughout the system in support of student achievement. For example, we know that students are four times more likely to graduate high school if they are reading by third grade so, among other efforts, our collective laser focus will be on preparing students early for future success.\"</p>\r\n<p><strong>A Closer Look at the Numbers</strong></p>\r\n<p>The graduation rate looks at a cohort, or group of students, who entered high school in a given year. Most of last year\'s seniors were part of the 2009-10 cohort, meaning they entered as freshman in the 2009-10 school year. Students who were in their 5<span>th</span> year of high school last year were part of the 2008-09 cohort.</p>\r\n<p>Below is a look at the statewide graduation and completer rates for Oregon students. Areas with an increase are indicated in bold. A bolded number which appears the same as the previous year\'s represents an increase of less than one percent.</p>\r\n<table cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\"

large graduation gaps for many underserved student groups. However, we are starting to see a narrowing of some of these gaps, particularly for our African-American and Hispanic students. Over the past five years, the graduation rate for African-American students has increased almost 10% and the graduation rate for Hispanic students has increased over 8%. While the graduation rates for both of these groups are still well below the state average, the gains are impressive and point to real successes in supporting students on their pathway to graduation. However, there are also some concerning trends where the graduation gaps are actually getting wider. This is most notable for Special Education students whose graduation rate has dropped more than 5% over the past five years.</p>\r\n<p><strong>The Power of a Fifth Year</strong></p>\r\n<p>The numbers above also highlight the impact that a fifth year of high school can have on preparing a student for graduation. Students stay in high school for a fifth year for a number of reasons including to complete graduation requirements, participate in a particular 5-year program focused on earning college credit, or build skills in order to successfully demonstrate proficiency in the essential skills. And more students are opting to stay in school past the traditional 4 years. Last year, 4,475 students — an increase of almost 300 over the previous year — chose to enroll in high school for a fifth year. This shift has resulted in lower graduation rates at some schools.</p>\r\n<p><strong>Bright Spots</strong></p>\r\n<p>Despite a relatively flat statewide graduation rate, a majority of schools saw an increase in graduation rates last year, with some schools and districts posting impressive gains. <span>Bend - La Pine Schools</span> has seen a 10.4% increase in the graduation rate over the past few years from 68.2% in 2010-2011 to 78.6% in 2012-2013. Bend <span>-</span> La Pines\' Mountain View High School and Bend Senior High both posted particularly strong gains over that time, with 14.2% and 11.5% increases respectively. Portland Public Schools also saw gains, with close to a 4% increase since last year district-wide. Portland\'s Jefferson High and Franklin High have increased graduation rates 12.2% and 13.8% respectively since 2010-11. And Jefferson County\'s Madras High School has seen a 10% increase in graduation rates since 2010-11, increasing rates from 57% to 67%. Both Jefferson High and Madras High are very diverse schools with high levels of student poverty that have struggled to increase graduation rates in the past and are now receiving some additional attention to turn things around through Oregon\'s Focus and Priority Schools program. The schools are now focused on providing culturally responsive instruction, an attention to personalized learning, and targeted interventions to re-engage students and keep them on track to graduate.</p>\r\n<p>\"I am pleased to see the gains made by some of our high schools this year,\" said Deputy Superintendent Saxton. \"In particular, I am encouraged by the gains made by schools like Madras and Jefferson — majority-minority schools where three quarters or more of students are from low-income families. We have made turning things around at these schools a priority, and while there is clearly much work left to be done, these results point to the commitment, hard-work, and dedication of the staff and students of these schools.\"</p>\r\n<p> </p>\r\n<p><strong>Demonstrating Your Skills</strong></p>\r\n<p>In order to earn a diploma, students now need to do more than simply complete the required coursework. This cohort is the second required to demonstrate their reading skills in order to earn a diploma — and the first required to demonstrate their ability to write well. These new requirements, known as the Essential Skills, were first adopted by the State Board of Education in 2007 along with <a href=\"http://www.ode.state.or.us/search/page/?id=1681\"><span>increased credit requirements</span></a> and an emphasis on <a href=\"http://www.ode.state.or.us/search/page/?id=1669\"><span>personalized learning</span></a> to ensure that all graduates left school with a strong foundation that would prepare them for college and career. The requirements were phased-in over time, with the <a href=\"http://www.ode.state.or.us/wma/teachlearn/diploma/essential-skill-of-reading.pdf\"><span>reading</span></a> requirement coming on board first, followed by <a href=\"http://www.ode.state.or.us/wma/teachlearn/diploma/essential-skill-of-writing.pdf\"><span>writing</span></a>, and finally <a href=\"http://www.ode.state.or.us/wma/teachlearn/diploma/essential-skill-of-math.pdf\"><span>math</span></a> — which will be a graduation requirement for this year\'s seniors. Students can meet the Essential Skills requirements in a variety of ways including passing state tests or completing locally-scored work samples. A report on how this year\'s graduates met their Essential Skills is available <a href=\"http://www.ode.state.or.us/search/page/?id=3960\"><span>online</span></a>.</p>\r\n<p><strong>Dropout Rates</strong></p>\r\n<p>While we track graduation based on four and five year cohorts of students, the federal government still requires states to report a one-year dropout rate. This rate is calculated by looking at the number of students who drop out (grades 9-12) in a given school year. This means that the dropout rate is not the inverse of the graduation rate. Students who receive GEDs, modified diplomas, etc., are not considered either graduates or dropouts but are included in the four- and five-year completer rates. <a href=\"http://www.ode.state.or.us/search/page/?=1\"><span>Click here</span></a> for more information on dropout rates in Oregon.</p>\r\n<p>As mentioned earlier, the Department of Education identified a systems error that had resulted in previous years\' reports not including students who had dropped out during the month of June. This error has been addressed and we have identified 949 students who dropped out during the month of June. In total 7,086 students dropped out of Oregon high schools last year for a dropout rate of 3.98%, up from 3.37% in 2011-12. If previous years\' methodology were applied to last year\'s results, dropout rates would have been up only very slightly to 3.44%. This indicates that while a few more students did drop out last year, the vast majority of the increase was due to correcting the systems error. This year\'s results are the most complete and accurate reported in state history and should be considered a new baseline.</p>\r\n<p><strong>2012-13 Dropout Rates by Student Group:</strong></p>\r\n<table cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" width=\"336.0\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td valign=\"middle\">\r\n<p><strong>Student Groups</strong></p>\r\n</td>\r\n<td valign=\"middle\">\r\n<p><strong>2012-13</strong></p>\r\n</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td valign=\"middle\">\r\n<p>All Students</p>\r\n</td>\r\n<td valign=\"middle\">\r\n<p>3.98%</p>\r\n</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td valign=\"middle\">\r\n<p>White</p>\r\n</td>\r\n<td valign=\"middle\">\r\n<p>3.5%</p>\r\n</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td valign=\"middle\">\r\n<p>Asian</p>\r\n</td>\r\n<td valign=\"middle\">\r\n<p>1.5%</p>\r\n</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td valign=\"middle\">\r\n<p>Pacific Islander</p>\r\n</td>\r\n<td valign=\"middle\">\r\n<p>5.0%</p>\r\n</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td valign=\"middle\">\r\n<p>Black</p>\r\n</td>\r\n<td valign=\"middle\">\r\n<p>6.2%</p>\r\n</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td valign=\"middle\">\r\n<p>Hispanic</p>\r\n</td>\r\n<td valign=\"middle\">\r\n<p>5.2%</p>\r\n</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td valign=\"middle\">\r\n<p>Native American</p>\r\n</td>\r\n<td valign=\"middle\">\r\n<p>8.0%</p>\r\n</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td valign=\"middle\">\r\n<p>Multi-Ethnic</p>\r\n</td>\r\n<td valign=\"middle\">\r\n<p>4.5%</p>\r\n</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td valign=\"middle\">\r\n<p>Students with Disabilities</p>\r\n</td>\r\n<td valign=\"middle\">\r\n<p>6.0%</p>\r\n</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td valign=\"middle\">\r\n<p>English Language Learner</p>\r\n</td>\r\n<td valign=\"middle\">\r\n<p>6.7%</p>\r\n</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td valign=\"middle\">\r\n<p>Economically Disadvantaged</p>\r\n</td>\r\n<td valign=\"middle\">\r\n<p>3.8%</p>\r\n</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td valign=\"middle\">\r\n<p>Females</p>\r\n</td>\r\n<td valign=\"middle\">\r\n<p>3.3%</p>\r\n</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td valign=\"middle\">\r\n<p>Males</p>\r\n</td>\r\n<td valign=\"middle\">\r\n<p>4.6%</p>\r\n</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</tbody>\r\n</table>\r\n<p><strong>For an audio clip of Deputy Superintendent Rob Saxton, go to: </strong><a href=\"http://video.orvsd.org/ode/110101-004.MP3\"><span>http://video.orvsd.org/ode/110101-004.MP3</span></a></p>\r\n<p>For school district cohort graduation data, go to: <a href=\"http://www.ode.state.or.us/search/page/?id=2644\"><span>http://www.ode.state.or.us/search/page/?id=2644</span></a></p>\r\n<p><span>For dropout data, go to: <a href=\"http://www.ode.state.or.us/search/page/?=1\"><span>www.ode.state.or.us/search/page/?=1</span></a></span></p>\r\n<p><span>For the Essential Skills report, go to: <a href=\"http://www.ode.state.or.us/search/page/?id=3960\"><span>http://www.ode.state.or.us/search/page/?id=3960</span></a></span></p>\r\n<p><span>To access an FAQ on the graduation and dropout rates, go to:</span><span> <a href=\"http://www.ode.state.or.us/wma/data/schoolanddistrict/students/docs/cohort-faq-2012-13.pdf\"><span>http://www.ode.state.or.us/wma/data/schoolanddistrict/students/docs/cohort-faq-2012-13.pdf</span></a></span><span> </span></p>\r\n<p># # #</p>','',1,0,0,11,'2014-02-10 08:00:00',196,'','2014-02-10 21:05:08',196,0,'0000-00-00 00:00:00','2014-02-10 08:00:00','0000-00-00 00:00:00','','','{\"show_title\":\"\",\"link_titles\":\"\",\"show_intro\":\"\",\"show_category\":\"\",\"link_category\":\"\",\"show_parent_category\":\"\",\"link_parent_category\":\"\",\"show_author\":\"\",\"link_author\":\"\",\"show_create_date\":\"\",\"show_modify_date\":\"\",\"show_publish_date\":\"\",\"show_item_navigation\":\"\",\"show_icons\":\"\",\"show_print_icon\":\"\",\"show_email_icon\":\"\",\"show_vote\":\"\",\"show_hits\":\"\",\"show_noauth\":\"\",\"alternative_readmore\":\"\",\"article_layout\":\"\"}',2,0,0,'','',1,2,'{\"robots\":\"\",\"author\":\"\",\"rights\":\"\",\"xreference\":\"\"}',0,'*',''),(164,224,'March 24 Board Meeting & OSPI Meeting','march-24-board-meeting-a-ospi-meeting','','<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-pagination: none;

STEM Networks have been created in seven regions around the state: Mid-Columbia (Tri-Cities), Snohomish, South Central (Yakima), South King County, Southwest Washington, Spokane, and West Sound (Bremerton). While working with Washington STEM to meet grant guidelines, each network is tailoring their approach to unique regional needs and opportunities. Detailed descriptions of the networks can be found at <a _mce_href=\"http://www.washingtonstem.org/stem-networks\" href=\"http://www.washingtonstem.org/stem-networks\">www.washingtonstem.org/stem-networks</a>.&nbsp; <br />&nbsp;<br />\"The grant will bring STEM professionals into classrooms and students into STEM work places in south-central Washington communities and build programs that train our young people for the jobs of the future,\" said Jeff Charbonneau, ESD 105 STEM Coordinator and 2013 National Teacher of the Year. \"The investment will help bring our plans to fruition and learn best practices from STEM Networks across the state.\"<br />&nbsp;<br /><strong>Math and Science Professional Development</strong></p><p>The STEM Networks help stream innovations into the schools including the teacher professional development initiative known as STEM-PD. Building on a pilot project in the Anacortes, Nooksack, Bellevue, Renton, and Highline school districts, Washington STEM is investing $2.5 million to expand the STEM-PD initiative to 45 schools statewide, the majority of which are in STEM Networks. Additionally, six teachers will be participating individually to share their practice to teachers across the initiative as they explore new ways to use technology in their professional learning.<br />&nbsp;<br />\"The key to successful STEM learning is excellence in STEM teaching,\" said Sandi Everlove, Chief Learning Officer at Washington STEM. \"Washington STEM\'s professional development innovations will help spread best practices and help teachers share ideas and techniques around the state and beyond.”<br />&nbsp;<br />The professional development initiative uses state-of-the art technology that enables teachers to take charge of their own professional learning. With this technology, teachers can collaborate, share and learn from one another, and request real-time coaching.<br />&nbsp;<br />“This technology helps me overcome big constraints, like location and time, to provide personalized and high quality professional development to teachers,” said Bethany Sjoberg, Science Coach at Highline Public Schools. \"I look forward to sharing this with teachers around Washington state as we prepare all our students for a world in which STEM education is vital.\"<br />&nbsp;<br />For a list of schools participating in the professional development initiative, go to <a _mce_href=\"http://www.washingtonstem.org/stem-pd\" href=\"http://www.washingtonstem.org/stem-pd\">www.washingtonstem.org/stem-pd</a><br />&nbsp;<br />###<br />&nbsp;<br /><strong>About Washington STEM</strong><br />Washington STEM is a statewide nonprofit advancing excellence, equity, and innovation in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education.

The 10th graders take the HSPE (High School Proficiency Exam).<br /><br />This year’s test results carry a bit more weight, since the U.S. Department of Education refused to renew Washington State’s waiver from some of the requirements of the No Child Left Behind Act, including the reporting of “adequate yearly progress.” Without the waiver, schools could be forced to divert some of their federal Title 1 funding to specific programs prescribed by the law if they don’t make adequate yearly progress, taking those funds away from other programs. Title 1 funding supports low-income students.<br /><br />According to the OSPI, of 295 school districts in the state, just 22 met the adequate yearly progress requirement. At the school level, just 260, out of more than 2,100 elementary, middle and high schools statewide, made adequate yearly progress.<br /><br />Many Harbor districts and individual schools are in some level of “school improvement” under the law due to not making adequate yearly progress.<br /><br />Missing from today’s MSP test results release were Aberdeen, Cosmopolis, Montesano and McCleary school districts, who participated in field testing for the Smarter Balanced Assessment. The results of the field test were not compiled and released, so those districts do not have test results for the elementary and middle-school grades that took the new assessment.<br /><br />The Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium is working to develop the new test that is in line with so-called “common core” standards in English, language arts and math.<br /><br />Though the Legislature has yet to finalize all the details, the plan is for Smarter Balanced tests to replace the reading and writing portions of the MSP for this school year. High school juniors will also take a Smarter Balanced test, but it will not be a graduation requirement until the Class of 2019, according to the OSPI. Currently, high school sophomores must pass the HSPE to graduate.<br /><br /><strong>Hoquiam</strong><br /><br />Hoquiam Superintendent Mike Parker noted the mixed results in his district. “we’ve been busy, boy, we have been busy over the past many years with the purpose of wanting to improve and doing all we can to improve.”<br /><br />The HSPE scores in reading and and writing did drop slightly to 82 percent and 83 percent respectively. “Kids are all different aren’t they?” Parker said. The high school had “really good groups” that scoreD in the 90s a year or two ago, he said.<br /><br />“We are not where we want to be, but we are not disappointed either,” Parker added. The scores were competitive, he added.<br /><br />The 9th grade showed some gains and “we have been working hard with our middle school,” where an OSPI coach has been working with the principal and teachers, he said. The students benefited from that work. “We are on the right track there,” he said. “We didn’t quite see the gain we want” in 6th and 7th grade, he said.<br /><br />Skill groups, where students of like abilities are grouped together, are helping in elementary ages, he added.<br /><br />Scores dropped in math and writing for 4th and 5th grade, and Parker said OSPI coaching will be added to Central Elementary to help it meet yearly progress this year.<br /><br />The staff met Tuesday to emphasize personalizing teaching so that each student feels they have an adult advocate, Parker said.<br /><br />“We have to be prepared to dig deep to reverse the trend at Central,” he said.<br /><br />“We don’t want any students to fall through the cracks,” he said. “It’s not realistic that 100 percent of the kids meet reading and math standards.”<br /><br />Part of the challenge is that students with special needs such as fetal alcohol syndrome, learning disabilities, or “social and emotional deficits” are expected to do as well and judged in comparison to other students, he said.<br /><br />That is the “challenge across all of our schools, we have got to focus and find a way to move those kids higher and we are doing that in middle school,” he said.<br /><br /><strong>Aberdeen and other districts</strong><br /><br />Aberdeen’s only reported scores — its 10th-grade scores — were higher than last year and close to the state average.<br /><br />Montesano’s reported scores showed optimistic trends. All of the district’s scores in the 7th, 8th and 10th grades were up except for math in the 7th and writing in the 10th grade.<br /><br />Pacific County schools had some good news to report, as well. Tenth-graders in Raymond outdid the state average in writing, though they dropped in reading. Willapa Valley 10th-graders scored higher than the state average in both reading and writing.<br /><br />Elementary students in the Wishkah Valley also did well, particularly in 4th grade where math and writing scores hit the 90th percentile, though reading dropped below 60 percent.<br /><br />Ocosta Schools reported increases in virtually every grade and every category except the 5th grade, which fell in reading and math. Seventh-graders reported lower math scores, as did 4th-graders.<br /><br />“We were very happy with the results, we are still analyzing them,” Ocosta Superintendent Dr. Paula Akerlund said. “We are actually looking at what our strategies for even hopefully strengthening our scores are … yeah, we were pretty pleased.”<br /><br />Unlike Hoquiam, Ocosta did not have to send a letter to parents saying they have failing schools.<br /><br />“We are one of those districts that did not fail, we had certain subgroups where we did not make AYP overall results (but) we did not have to send a letter to parents saying we were ‘failing schools.’ ”<br /><br />With the changes next year to standardized tests and the move to common core, Ocosta is in the same boat as most everyone else. “We are just looking at all that right now,” she said.</p><p>http://thedailyworld.com/news/local/school-test-results-mixed-twin-harbors</p>','',1,0,0,20,'2014-09-02 16:38:53',196,'','2014-09-02 16:42:26',196,0,'0000-00-00 00:00:00','2014-09-02 16:38:53','0000-00-00 00:00:00','','','{\"show_title\":\"\",\"link_titles\":\"\",\"show_intro\":\"\",\"show_category\":\"\",\"link_category\":\"\",\"show_parent_category\":\"\",\"link_parent_category\":\"\",\"show_author\":\"\",\"link_author\":\"\",\"show_create_date\":\"\",\"show_modify_date\":\"\",\"show_publish_date\":\"\",\"show_item_navigation\":\"\",\"show_icons\":\"\",\"show_print_icon\":\"\",\"show_email_icon\":\"\",\"show_vote\":\"\",\"show_hits\":\"\",\"show_noauth\":\"\",\"alternative_readmore\":\"\",\"article_layout\":\"\"}',2,0,2,'','',1,714,'{\"robots\":\"\",\"author\":\"\",\"rights\":\"\",\"xreference\":\"\"}',0,'*',''),(172,232,'VIDEO: McCleary v.
