1.

Using the Biology 1 EOC 2021-22 worksheet, answer each of the following questions.

a.

What inferences can you draw about students’ learning of Biology 1 based on the Biology 1 EOC in 2021 compared to Biology 1 EOC in 2022?

b.

Notice that St. John’s district’s scores were significantly higher than the statewide average in both years. What information would you want to learn from St. John’s district related to their instruction of Biology 1 to share with other districts in the state?

c.

Notice that Jefferson’s district’s scores were significantly lower than the statewide average in both years. Other than the results, what additional information about the district (e.g., instructional staff, resources, overall district economic situation, etc.) would you like to help you understand why Jefferson is performing so poorly compared to other districts in the state?

2.

Using the US History EOC 2021-22 worksheet, answer each of the following questions. Please focus your responses on students’ results over time.

a.

Compare the At or Above Achievement Level 3, by Race/Ethnicity chart with the At Achievement Level 1, by Race/Ethnicity. What conclusions can you draw about students’ learning of English Language Arts, by race/ethnicity, from these charts?

b.

For students who are economically disadvantaged, what trends can you identify over time when US History EOC performance is sorted by achievement level?

In your opinion, what has probably occurred in the schools to lead to these trends?

3.

Using the Pinellas School Grades 2021-22 worksheet, answer each of the following questions.

a.

School Name

Does there appear to be a connection between achievement and learning gains and the grade the school earned in 2022? Explain your response.

b.

Title I School Name

Choose a Title 1 school in Pinellas County for which you will analyze their performance.
