It has been my pleasure to serve as your Regional Coordinator for the past four years.
Change in Number of Students at May Benchmark:
2003/04 2008/09
Kindergarten 44% 76%
1st grade 42% 58%
2nd grade 41% 56%
3rd grade 37% 60%
Change in Number of Students in Intensive:
2003/04 2008/09
Kindergarten 37% 7%
1st grade 26% 8%
2nd grade 48% 17%
3rd grade 32% 10%
This data reflects that Brewster students have made great academic growth. Particularly impressive is the smaller number of students at Intensive in May. Conversations at grade level meetings reflect that the following elements are discussed by the staff:
Fluency that includes rate and accuracy
Strong initial core instruction
Appropriate pacing
Diagnostic assessment when necessary to identify weak skill areas
Three tiers of intervention with appropriate supplemental materials
Staff uses data to drive instruction and set academic goals and action plans.
The gains that have been made at Brewster reflect hard work by the staff and good support provided by the coach and principal.
