| Hello/IntroPembroke Return to index of stories... |
Hello. I'm Beth Carroll. Welcome to New Hampshire Outlook. The report card for NH's public schools has been released indicating how students performed in reading and mathematics. Statewide assessment tests measure a school's Adequate Yearly Progress, or A-Y-P. Those results are used by the Federal No Child Left Behind Act to determine which schools are in need of improvement. In 2004, Pembroke Academy failed to meet federal education standards. But, in 2005 students did make adequate yearly progress. Outlook's Phil Vaughn visited with them to learn how they did it. |
| Intro AYP Return to index of stories... |
In 2005 -- 37 of NH's 83 high schools did NOT make adequate yearly progress in reading, math-- or both. 28 schools failed to meet federal standards 2 years in a row earning them "Needs Improvement" Status. So, what does it mean when schools don't make the grade.in the A-Y-P test. Here to talk about that: State Education Commissioner Lyonel Tracy, Charles Ott, retired superintendent of the Somersworth/Rollinsford school system who now works with the Strafford Learning Center, and Jeannie Johnson a Pembroke Academy math teacher who has been teaching in the state for 23 years. Welcome. Q CMSR TRACY: What should PARENTS do -- if their child is attending one of those schools that needs IMPROVEMENT or FAILS to make adequate yearly progress. ** What do these TESTS tell us. "crude" yardstick. Q CHARLES OTT: When you were the Superintendent and Somersworth didn't make the Adequate Yearly Progress - as an Administrator What did you DO???? Is it "WAKE-UP" call?? ARE schools forced to SHIFT resources to accomodate students that need help. Q JEANNIE: You teach Math at Pembroke -- which failed LAST Year.but METstandards THIS year. what about MATH - any changes made on that front? *** What would have happened if the school did not make adequate yearly progress this yr? ** Did you change-- in any way -- HOW or WHAT you taught students knowing Q CMSR TRACY /CHUCK: Is it FAIR to say Most of the schools that FAILED - did so --because of the performance of a relatively SMALL number of special-education students?? |

Q CMSR/ CHUCK: What happens when a school FAILS to meet benchmarks. SANCTIONS? ** schools need plan to boost scores -- and, if that doesn't happen? ** school choice: if school needs improvement can take child out -- what if district only has one school??? schools with needier students Q CMSR TRACY/ CHUCK OTT: 28 Schools in NEED of Improvement. How do you Know whether its the Teachers, ADMINISTRATORS , or LESSON plans that needs IMPROVEMENT?? Q JEANNIE: The AYP test measures this year's students against last years-- it doesn't TRACK a child's PROGRESS. At Pembroke Academy -- use something called MAP. OBSERVATIONS on testing over the years. Q CMSR TRACY: This is the 3RD year for the federally mandated Testing. This year -- the annual measuring objective went-up? 7-9 Schools made AdequateYP.this year with HIGHER standards. Q Why is it important to a community to perform WELL on these tests??? This year's students are measured against last year's -- so, What do these TESTS tell us about a student's progress. More of a gauge on a school's performance? Q Manchester -- the state's largest school district -- did NOT perform well on state tests. What does that say about the school system -- and does the STATE step in with assistance.or are communities on their own in addressing these education issues? Q IS NH doing enuf to ASSESS student's needs and making sure those needs are met. If not, what needs to be done? Q CHUCK/JEANNIE: How do you define student success?? |

Wednesday November 9: Tonight we started late because one of the guests were late. But once we got going it went smoothly. I pulled Rachel aside after the show to remind her to check Beth's hair since she has had a hair sticking up. And I told her to remind the guests to lean in to the table because we have better relationship shots that way. Other than that all seemed okay. |
