DISTRICT IMPROVEMENT PLAN PROGRESS REPORT Adams 14 is committed to improving the education we deliver to students. Adams 14 is moving forward with implementation of the District Strategic Plan. Consistent with the academic focus of the District, the three goals for academic success outlined in the plan are:
Adams 14's strategy for improvement is stated as follows: to improve student achievement so that 80% of students assessed will be on grade level by 2014 by ensuring that each classroom has a dynamic, standards-based teacher who provides powerful 21st century learning experiences to all students.

ASSESSMENT DATA Colorado’s state assessment system includes three different types of assessments to measure student achievement. The main assessment used in the state is the CSAP, which assesses students in reading, writing and math state standards in grades 3 through 10. The CSAP science assessment is also given in 5th, 8th and 10th grade. The second assessment available is for students in third and fourth grade who are receiving instruction in Spanish. The Lectura is the Spanish reading version of the CSAP and the Escritura is the Spanish writing version of the CSAP. These assessments are scored with the following ratings: Unsatisfactory (student is not demonstrating knowledge of the content standards), Partially Proficient (student is beginning to demonstrate knowledge on the standards), Proficient (student is meeting the standards), Advanced (student is above and beyond the standards), and No Score (the student was unable to complete the test). The third assessment, the CSAPA (CSAP Alternate), is available for use with students with the most significant cognitive disabilities. It is used to assess reading, writing, math and science content knowledge. Only about 1% of students in Colorado take the CSAPA.

GROWTH DATA The Colorado Growth Model provides a common understanding of how individual students and groups of students progress from year to year toward state standards based on where each individual student begins. The Colorado Growth Model uses a common measure to describe how much growth each student makes and how much growth is needed to reach state standards. In doing so, it provides a complete history of all students’ individual-level test scores from the Colorado Student Assessment Program (CSAP). The model depicts academic growth in a user-friendly and interactive display that relates normative information about student progress toward the criteria of reaching different state proficiency levels.

NAEP DATA The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), a.k.a. "the Nation's Report Card," is the only nationally representative and continuing assessment of what America's students know and can do in different subject areas. Its two major goals are to measure student achievement and to report change in performance over time. NAEP provides results for the nation as a whole and for individual states. Performance is reported by groups of students (e.g. gender, racial and ethnic groups) and by participation in special programs such as those servicing students with special needs and limited English proficiency. Each of these assessments/studies is based on a representative sample of the student population of the state and the nation and none are designed to produce individual district, school or student data. Visit the Nation's Report Card website for detailed NAEP results from Colorado students.
