In-service and Student Enhancement Program For Increasing Student Scores on

the State Writing Assessment.

Abstract:

An in-service program will be developed to train all teachers in the grading

guidelines for the State Writing Assessment. Teachers will be train in the

grading of essays according to the General Grading Rubric developed by the

State. Additionally, teachers will be helped to incorporate writing into their

curriculums. On the student side, an assessment of current writing skills will

be given to all 10th graders. The assessment will be graded by a team of English

teachers, and both students and parents will be notified of the results.

Students who are deemed to be at risk of failing the Writing Assessment will be

scheduled to attend after school enhancement programs designed to raise their

writing skills. The goal of the program is to raise the number of students who

pass the Writing Assessment by 10%.

Problem statement:

Last year a significant number of Glasgow’s 10th graders failed the writing

component of the State Assessment. In an era of school choice and

accountability, raising our scores is very important. Eighth graders and their

parents are using these scores to choose high schools. Unless Glasgow raises the

scores on the Writing Assessment, there is a strong chance that the "best

and brightest" will choose another high school. Indeed, there is some

evidence that this is already happening. Additionally, the retention of our

current students depends on our ability to maintain high academic achievement

especially on statewide measurements. Therefore, a strong diagnostic and

remedial program along with a school-wide emphasis on writing is needed to

improve overall student writing scores on the State Writing Assessment.

Goals:

1) Identify 10th graders who are performing below the acceptable level on the

State Writing Assessment.

2) Train teachers across the curriculum in the General Grading Rubric for

Writing.

3) Develop a targeted enhancement program to improve student writing ability.

4) Contact and involve parents the process of improving students writing.

5) Communicate to the student population the State’s writing expectations.

6) Fully train staff across the curriculum to use and evaluate writing in

their programs.

7) Create a long-term link between the English department and all other

departments to facilitate writing across the curriculum in ways that meet the

State’s writing standards.

Objectives:

To increase by 10% the average number of 10th grade students who pass the

State Writing Assessment.

Evaluation:

Evaluation will consist of examining the 10th grade scores on the Writing

Assessment. The increased percentage of students passing the test will be the

primary benchmark and the previous year’s percentage of passing students will be

the baseline. Secondarily, the overall improvement in terms of average score

received will be established and compared to the previous year’s average score.

The English department will keep longitudinal data on these evaluation measures.

Dissemination:

The results of the State testing will be announced in the school’s newsletter

to parents and at the 1st faculty meeting after the results are published by the

State. An effort will be made to have an official school comment be printed in

the issue of the newspaper which publishes the results of the test. The comment

will address our goal of a 10% increase. Additionally, the improvement shown by

Glasgow’s students in terms of our goals will be posted. The focus of our public

statements must be in the level of attainment we have achieved in reaching our

goal.

Personnel:

Active personnel will consist of English teachers who will be trained in

grading according to the State’s General Grading Rubric for Writing. All English
