How Low-income, African-American, and Latino Students Fare

[Stewart Hyland]

Hey MIH colleagues,

 

More information on data and research that tells how data can used in a meaningful way to reach the educational outcomes that we are working towards. Here is an excerpt:

 

Sufficient evidence and proof points make it clear:

low-income students and students of color can

achieve at high levels when they are taught at high

levels. Indeed, some California schools are proving

that every single day.

 

1. Establish clear, ambitious goals in a variety of areas, including

performance, improvement, gaps, and college readiness.

Simply achieving the state’s modest goals for API growth

will not transform California schools and districts.

 

2. Calculate district, school, and subgroup improvement scores

using student-level longitudinal data. Such growth data

would shed light on the impact teachers, schools, and

districts have on student achievement and would highlight

the progress made by every student and subgroup.

 

3. Include a stronger focus on college-readiness. We ought

to know how well schools and districts are preparing

students for college and careers, not just how well they

are mastering the existing K-12 standards.

Please see the attached report and share with us your thoughts on how we can advocate and implement these strategies.

 

Take care,

Stewart
