Grand Meadow Public Schools is a recognized Q-Comp school in the state of Minnesota. The focus of the Q-Comp plan for Staff Development has been Reading. The focus on Reading, along with creating a systematic method of analyzing student scores based on MCA ( Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments) Grand Meadow Schools have been able to meet or exceed the State requirements for Reading. Each year the Q-Comp Team analyzes student data, along with prior year’s staff development goals and objectives. The leadership team, along with administration, decided to use FAST as the tool to assess student growth for the 2020-2021 school year.
MCA Goals for 2020(no testing): MCA goals for 2021 : MCA (projected) goals for 2022: District: 66.4% District: 68.4% District: 68.4% Elementary: 69.2% Elementary: 71.2% Elementary: 71.2% Middle School: 70.1% Middle School: 72.1% Middle School: 72.1% High School: 52.8% High School: 54.8% High School: 54.8%
Plans and goals are established by the Q-Comp Leadership team; which include district administration. Weekly meetings are led by the Q-Comp leaders to discuss and implement strategies and techniques to enhance instruction. The goal for the 2019-2020 school year was to focus on continuous areas of differentiation along with implementation of Buildyourown curriculum in an effort to meet the needs of all learners along with raising each category by 3%. Our goal for 2020-2021 was to intervene on students after distance learning implementation and focus on continued growth through Build Your Own Curriculum and Multiple Methods of Instruction. Our goal is to raise our 2021 goals by 2% even though there was not testing in 2020. These goals were determined by winter FastBridge data, we will also continue to focus on improving and developing our most recent Language Arts Curriculum and using our Fountas and Pinnell intervention kits to strengthen our interventions. In addition to Q-comp goal attainment, a staff survey will be created to ensure the efficiency and effectiveness of programs and interventions are being carried out.
