Third Benchmark Complete

This week we completed the third benchmark.  This benchmark was created from Countdown to STAAR which is suppose to be equivalent questions that will appear on the STAAR test.  The test was harder than the previous test.  Students who needed accommodations were granted the accommodations.  The ELL's result was that three of the four passed and the one who showed no improvement last time has come up 20 points from the last test.  The non-ELL's, 13 students have passed, and the ones who have not passed all of their scores have increased as well.

Since the state will not be getting is the scores on the actual STAAR test that will be taken in April to us until next year (after this project is due), this will be the last data pull, and the research is complete. Now data will be collected an analyzed more in depth. Students will continue to work on Study Island and vocabulary until the end of April. I spoke with my mentor (principal) to ensure this would be a correct action.  I will be waiting for the results to come back from the TELPAS scoring.
