13 • Grades 9-12 – 2 times per semester K-12 Math – MAP Growth assessment platform • Grades K – 2 times per year • Grades 1-8 – 3 times per year • Grades 9-12 – 2 times per semester WCPS disaggregated I-Ready (ELA) and MAP (Math) assessment data and growth for 2021-2022 were used to set goals by grade level, student group, and special program for 2022-2023 (Appendix B: 2021-2022 District ELA and Math Score Summaries). EVALUATION OF INSTRUCTION THROUGH ONGOING STUDY OF DATA Wicomico County Public Schools prioritize the ongoing study of data to ensure student success. This return plan is grounded in our commitment to equity and the analysis of data as we measure the success of each of our students. We will continue to use program and policy analysis through equity lens guiding questions to identify the impact of current policies, programs and decisions on individual students and groups of students, examining data in the aggregate and with disaggregation of race/ethnicity, student service groups (SWD, EL, ED), and gender. This data will be analyzed throughout the year. Baseline data from the 2022 fall administration of i-Ready (ELA) and MAP (math) for all Grade 1-8 students will be collected and compared to the 2023 spring administration with a focus on typical growth in i-Ready and projected growth for MAP. This same analysis will be done with grades 9-12 students with their prediagnostic and the start of each semester and their post-diagnostic assessment at the end of each semester. The goal is all students, special groups, programs, and grade levels will increase their growth percentage by 10% in the 2022-2023 school year. Individual growth targets for math (MAP) and ELA (i-Ready) will be tracked from the fall 2022 to spring 2023 assessments and compared to the 2021-2022 growth percentages. (Appendix B). MCCRS CURRICULUM FRAMEWORKS The Prek-12 MCCRS (Maryland College and Career Ready Standards) Curriculum frameworks continue to guide the development, implementation, and assessment of content area curricula in WCPS. Curriculum teams rely on MCCRS frameworks to provide the essential content for courses. Ongoing, job-embedded professional learning is provided to teachers to ensure that the standards are a part of daily instruction and assessment. Up-to-date guidance, resources and information on standards and state assessments for English language arts, mathematics, science and social studies courses are located on the Maryland State Department of Education’s Maryland College and Career Ready Resources website: http://marylandpublicschools.org/programs/Pages/MD-CCRS/index.asp. CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION (CTE) The Office of Career and Technical Education supports students who are enrolled in a Career and Technical Education (CTE) course, including technology education or computer science, or a program of study for the 2022-2023 academic year. Wicomico will provide in-person opportunities in schools and in industry settings for the 20222023 school year. Student credentials and certifications will have a renewed focus for this school year.
