February Regional Meeting Agenda

What Are Missouri Schools Doing to Focus on Student Performance?

The February SMCAA Regional Meetings will focus on what Missouri School Districts are doing to improve student achievement.

In Part I participants will hear from area schools as they share how they have focused on improving achievement on End of Course Exams. Schools that have had success with EOC  will share their insights for higher achievement. Schools will also share what they have done to focus on curriculum development, instructional strategies, and vertical team activities to maximize student achievement in all areas.

Part II will focus on analyzing MAP data to improve achievement. Now that we have several years of new MAP data to review, districts need a simple and effective method for evaluating long term trends in MAP scores. What is the data telling you and what changes should be made in the curriculum and instruction to improve achievement?

There will be also be a time for discussion and sharing from all who attend. At the conclusion of the 10 Regional meetings, SMCAA will compile all the insights that schools share for improving student achievement and make those available to all SMCAA schools.

     MAP Analysis That Leads to Improved Student Achievement

We will demonstrate how to analyze several years of district/building MAP Test data to determine concepts, applications of the concepts, question types, and DOK levels causing scores below expectations.  The analysis results will be used to help identify teaching methods, assessment methods, and student-centered learning activities that,

when implemented, lead to improved student achievement on MAP, EOC, and in the classroom.
