Utilizing Monitoring Tools to Positively Impact Student and School Performance
Saturday, February 19, 2011
"Montgomery County, MD, Public Schools (MCPS) has developed a number of critical monitoring tools that provide focused analysis of achievement data coupled with targeted processes and action plans that lead to significant improvement in student performance. MCPS' work has resulted in the narrowing of the achievement gap among race groups in key measures ranging from early literacy to Advanced Placement/International Baccalaureate performance to reductions in out-of-school suspensions. In this session, presenters share tools and processes that have contributed to MCPS being recognized as a leader in the effort to eliminate the achievement gap."

No reason for the Superintendent, Chief School Performance Officer, or Community Superintendent to hang around here! No budget crisis to change their plans!
ReplyDeleteTally does reduce out-of-school suspensions as he makes sure they don't make it on the books. Check out this school that had two instances where police were called for weapons and no suspensions are recorded!

Weapons at Daly Elementary School?
ReplyDeleteNothing shown on this chart that would indicate any such incidents. Were these reported in the news? Where are the police reports?
Am I missing something here? The chart shows that the police were called 2x for weapons.
ReplyDeleteAm I reading it wrong?
Don't know about Daly. Do know that every school has a "target rate" for suspensions (check their school improvement plan for the numbers). If the #'s get higher than the rate pressure is often put on the school to reduce suspensions.
ReplyDeleteYes you are missing the point of the 9:52 comment. The comment was about SUSPENSIONS. None are shown on the chart.
ReplyDeleteAccording to this chart, there were 2 incidents where weapons were at Daly Elementary but no student was ever given an out of school suspension for these incidents. So are we to assume that the weapons incidents did not involve students? Or are we to assume that students who brought weapons to school were not suspended?
Any reason the last comment I sent was not posted?
