SIP: MAP Literacy Goal

Student achievement goal: 80% of MAP students at or above the Intermediate level will increase their reading proficiency in literal comprehension and interpretation one grade level as measured by their Reading Plus program over the course of one academic year (Sept.-June), or three terms at PCC.

*49/157 or 31% of students had one or more level gained over the year.

Many issues with our data collection process emerged, and these will be addressed. Examples are: tracking length of time, removing dropped students appropriately, grouping students by instructor and term.Level Gain in reading proficiency is NOT explicitly tied to literal comprehension and interpretation in data recorded.

Recommended Usage & Levels Gained

49/157 or 31% of students had one or more level gained over the year.

10 Students (6%) completed the recommended # of sessions. Of these, the average level gain was 2.2.

23 Students (15%) completed btw 60%-99% of the recommended # of sessions. Of these, the average level gain was 1.3.

66 Students (42%) completed btw 20%-59% of the recommended # of sessions. Of these, the average level gain was .6.

58 Students (37%) completed less than 20% of the recommended # of sessions.

Multiple Levels Gained

49/157 or 31% of students had one or more level gained over the year.

10 Students (6%)2 gained 4 levels; 1 gained 3 levels; 3 gained 2 levels, 3 gained 1 level.

Adjusted Stats

49/157 or 31% of students had one or more level gained over the year.

36/58 Students (62%) had zero sessions. Plus 2 staff = 38 students.

If we take these out of the ‘N’ we have a sample size of 119.

Therefore, 49/119 or 41% of students would have one or more level gain.While better, this is still way off of our stated goal.

*This is a reasonable adjustment based on drops or non-usage. There were numerous students who had minimal usage, even 1 session. Adjusting for these does not seem reasonable.

Recommendations

1. Time spent on task! Seems simple, like attendance improving performance. It is working for those who work it.A. Reduce misuse of lab time during class.B. Incentives for time outside of class.

2. Improve technical difficulties in data gathering.C. All students listed in one grouping, from July through June.D. TBD, how to separate out students who leave and come in late.E. TBD, how to generate better reports to our needs.

3. Improve & Systematize instruction on key skills. (main idea/draw conclusions etc.) across all levels.

4. Re-evaluate use, investigate other assessments, and/or other mechanism for reading improvement.
