Partnership for Student Achievement




PARTNERSHIP FOR STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT

Over a year ago, staff members from the Kentucky Association of School Councils and the Kentucky School Boards Association came together to ponder ways in which they could better help Kentucky schools and students reach their federal and state-mandated goals of proficiency by 2014.
These two groups asked the question, "What would happen if school boards and school councils jointly reviewed student achievement data, then combined their resources to improve weaknesses in performance?"
The result of this collaboration was The Partnership for Student Achievement.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
The Partnership for Student Achievement is a 2 1/2 hour session, facilitated by a KASC or KSBA trainer and using the following process:
  • Participating school councils, board teams and central office staff begin the session in one large group
  • The trainer leads the group through a general review of district data and trends
  • Following the review, the large group divides into six smaller groups with each group (using specially prepared graphs and charts) reviewing CATS data for a particular subject - math, science, writing, reading, social studies and either practical living/vocational or arts and humanities - across grade levels and student groups
  • Finally, the groups come together to report findings and determine "next steps" for the councils, the school boards and the central office

HOW WILL THE TRAINING BENEFIT MY DISTRICT?
By jointly reviewing information about student assessment scores, boards and councils have a foundation for addressing the academic needs of all students. These discussions will lead to improved communication between school boards and school councils and a shared plan of action to reach proficiency by 2014.
