Supporting Instruction and Assessment
At Mariam Boyd Elementary, one of the main focuses is to improve quality instruction and assessment. Ms. Tabron first disaggregated the data using the previous school years data to identify the number of students required for Grade Level Proficiency to increase proficiency by 10%. She created a plan for December to focuse on core instruction and reteaching standards based on assessments.
Additionally, Ms. Tabron was tasked with hosting Data Days for grade levels to establish discourse about student present levels and increasing student outcomes. Data Days are scheduled quarterly and practices are discussed for instructional gains.
Ms. Tabron has also created a Data Driven Instructional Calendar, or a DDI Calendar, to began to utilize as a way to begin using common assessments. This allowed each grade level to track assessments with standard-based data. She meets biweekly after school to lesson plan with teachers and unpack standards and understand the lesson framework.
She provides Professional Development to staff to increase the use of higher-yielding strategies in classrooms.
