10/30/2018 2017-18 World’s Best Workforce Results October 29, 2018 What is the World’s Best Workforce Legislation? Under Minnesota Statutes, section 120B.11, school boards are to adopt a long-term, comprehensive strategic plan to support and improve teaching and learning. This plan addresses the following five goals: ● All children are ready for school ● All third-graders can read at grade level ● All racial and economic achievement gaps between students are closed. ● All students are ready for career and college. ● All students graduate from high school 1
10/30/2018 Why is the State of Minnesota focused on this? Our population is aging. Seventy percent (70%) of jobs will require more than a high school diploma by 2018. We don’t have an adequate number of qualified candidates to fill many good-paying jobs. The fastest growing segment of our future workforce is students of color, and they currently have the state’s lowest graduation rate. Minnesota has one of the worst black-white achievement gaps in the country. Historical Timeline ● 2013 -- Legislation signed ● 2014-15 -- MDE implements collection around five key goal areas ● 2015-16 -- MDE requires template around goals and results ● 2016-17 -- MDE adds language to include: Staff Development, QComp, Gifted and Talented, Site Equity Teams and Teacher Equity ● 2017-18 -- MDE works to align WBWF with Achievement and Integration (A&I) and the Federal Every Student Succeeds Act(ESSA) ● 2018-19 -- MDE prepares to align WBWF goals with Minnesota North Star Accountability results 2

10/30/2018 GOAL 1: School Readiness: What does this look like? Key Questions: ● Who do we typically capture in our Edina programs? Can we capture more? ● How do Early Literacy and Numeracy Screenings inform us? ● How are we focused on the whole child? Language, Social Emotional, Physical, Cognitive? 2017-18 Goals: ● Implementation of Social Emotional Learning inventories ● Percent of students ages three (3) - PreK who meet age appropriate literacy learning expectations will increase from 91.2% to 96.2%.

Research suggests an “implementation dip” can occur when an increase in complexity is realized through a change process. Source: MDE Regional WBWF Data Files 2018 5
10/30/2018 GOAL 2: All Third Graders Reading at Grade Level Data Observations: ● High Achieving students are hitting typical and What we expect for all students in Edina accelerated projected growth above what is expected ● Focused Intervention Students make typical and accelerated projected growth at expected rates. ● Average students and those at the very lowest achievement levels did not meet their projected growth targets at the same rates. Source: NWEA MAP Reading Results GOAL 3: Close the Achievement Gap(s) Among All Groups Data Observations: ● Overall, reading proficiency rates are down by 2.3 percentage points. ● Black and English Language learners made gains and gaps closed by 5 and 6.7 points, respectively. 6
10/30/2018 GOAL 3: Close the Achievement Gap(s) Among All Groups Data Observations: ● Overall, math proficiency rates are down by 2.3 percentage points. ● Achievement gaps remain widest when comparing Asians, our highest achieving student group in math, and students who receive Free and Reduced Priced Meals. Goal 4: All Students Career and College Ready Data Observations: ● The number of students tested increased by 58 students over last year. ● Meeting College Readiness Benchmarks means students are 50% likely to score a B or higher in a corresponding college course. 7
10/30/2018 Goal 5: All Students Graduate Data Observations: ● Edina continues to graduate students at high levels. Teaching and Learning General Improvement Action Item Provide training and support for teachers to grow relationships with students and families in order to nurture a positive and rigorous learning environment for all learners. Math Improvements Planned and Underway: ● New Math Materials at K-5 level for all schools except Normandale (K-2) (First full year of implementation) and in all 6th Grade, Pre-Alg. 7, Algebra 8, and Geometry courses ● Common Assessments now aligned to MCA Achievement Level Descriptors ● Math training for teachers on new materials: Aug through Feb (K5) June through Feb (6-12) ● Coordinated grade level planning time and review of assessment data during early/late releases ● Enhanced digital sharing of teacher made resources across buildings ● Increased emphasis on Math intervention and additional staff to focus on needs of struggling students. 8
