Erlanger-Elsmere Briefing Packet
The Erlanger-Elsmere School District will use the state assessment results to maintain its focus on continuous progress of student learning and individualizing student goals for each and every student. The assessment results recently released which are from the state assessments the students took in May 0f 2009 will assist the district in continuous improvement of student learning. These results provide us with one snapshot of how our students performed against set standards. The Erlanger-Elsmere School District also uses nationally-normed data and summative and formative tools such as MAP testing (Measures of Academic Progress), common assessments, diagnostic assessments and additional assessments to monitor student learning and set individualized learning goals with students throughout the year. Using the continuous progress data enables us to provide a longitudinal picture of student growth over time and target individual needs. We disaggregate state results and progress results target specific student needs.
