Student survey indicated that Ms. McEwan is strong in the following areas

3) I allow students to demonstrate learning in a variety of ways
4) I value them as a person
5) I use technology to promote learning
Her area(s) of weakness according to students:
1) I am too lenient in addressing classroom disruptions
2) The work load in my class is not manageable
She plans to address information received by:
Next year I plan to have more clear expectations of my students in terms of in class behavior. I plan to have more specific classroom rules
for student to follow so I am better equip to handle classroom disruption or behavior management problems. I also plan to make work more
accessible at home by improving my teacher website. I feel by making students more independent and holding them accountable for their
own work they may feel that the workload is more manageable. I plan to have resources such as notes, classwork, homework, warm-ups,
fun activities, and a class calendar more readily available for student online in order for them to have more control of their learning
experience.

Comments:
Ms. McEwan administered pre, mid and post assessment to students to gauge year student performance progress. Her baseline data
indicated that students in the following tiers demonstrated knowledge of the subject matter at the beginning of the school year.
Group A - 33/95 (34.7%) students scored 41 - 60% correct on the pretest
Group B- 56/95 (58.9%) students scored 21 - 40% correct on the pretest
Group C- 6/95 (6.3%) students scored a 0 - 20% correct on the pretest
She set goals for students in each group as follows:
80% of students who are in class at least 90% of the time will show growth in the following way, but all students will show measurable growth
between pre-test and post-test.
Group A- Students who have a baseline data of 41% - 60% correct or more will show a 5% increase in achievement.
Group B- Students who have a baseline data of 21% - 40% correct will show a 10% increase in achievement.
Group C- Students who have a baseline data 0% - 20% correct will meet/exceed minimum standard for Chemistry by scoring at or above
50% on the Posttest and the Chemistry SOL.
Post assessment of students indicated the following:
90.6% of my students passed their end of the year Chemistry SOL and made the growth goal I set at the beginning of the year. 9.4% of my
students did not pass their end of the year Chemistry SOL and did not make the growth goal I set at the beginning of the year. This data is
still somewhat preliminary because 6 more of my students are taking the expedited retakes this week. As of right now I counted these
students as a "fail" or "did not make goal" even though there is still a chance for them to pass the SOL and make their growth
goal.
