STAR SGP Data
Alllison and I have reviewed our STAR data up to this point looking specifically at grade level SGP. Currently all grade levels have obtained the 50% or better mark! When looking at data closer, as a school students and classes are performing better in math compared to their reading scores. If as a grade level you would like to know your percentage or if you have any questions, see myself or Allison or we would be happy to join your PLC meetings. As mentioned above, I will be creating a video demonstrating how you can pull the report for your individual classes.
Testing Updates
- I will be posting a video explaining how to see student SGP for STAR testing on the Google Drive. Remember we are looking for 50% or better SGP for the entire grade level for both Reading and Math.
- CoGat testing will begin February 16 and will end on February 29. This is for new 3rd and 4th grade students to WC, teacher recommended 3rd and 4th grade students and students who scored in the 90% or higher on STAR that are not currently receiving any gifted education instruction
