Paine math and reading teachers reviewed their students' end of the year data with academic coaches, Lisa Lothspeich and Kelly McGough, on Tuesday, May 24. Students made significant gains in math from fall to spring according to Global Scholar data and in reading according to STAR data. Teachers were asked to reflect on reasons for the increases in math and reading. They offered the following:

Eureka Math that includes practice materials
Challenging all students, including those who have mastered content by providing enrichment
Focused, intentional intervention based on data
Global Scholar data
ACT Aspire Interim Assessments
