Update on Formative Assessments being utilized for K-5", "memo": { "Speaker": "Anna Herrera, Assistant Superintendent of Education Services", "Quick Summary / Abstract": "Educational Services will provide the Board with an overview of the district's assessment system and the structures used to turn student evidence into instructional action. The study session connects i-Ready, classroom and curriculum assessments, early-literacy screeners and diagnostics, and Professional Learning Communities (PLCs). The central message is that no single assessment determines a student's need: teachers use multiple measures to identify who may need support, diagnose the specific skill gap, plan instruction or intervention, and monitor the student's response.", "Rationale": "The purpose of the study session is to clarify how assessments serve different but complementary functions and how PLCs support consistent, timely responses across schools. The district is strengthening a cycle of inquiry in which educators establish SMART goals, review common formative evidence, adjust Tier 1 instruction, provide targeted intervention or enrichment, and monitor progress every four to six weeks. This work supports LCAP Goal 3 by improving academic outcomes and supports Goal 1 through a coordinated multi-tiered system of support. Redwood City Assessments i-Ready diagnostics, curriculum assessments, daily checks, foundational-skills measures, oral reading fluency, ELD assessments, ELPAC, and CAASPP are used at different points for screening, diagnosis, progress monitoring, and summative review. i-Ready: At-grade-level performance and growth are related but distinct. Typical Growth reflects expected annual progress; Stretch Growth is an accelerated target intended to help students below grade level move toward proficiency. Improving i-Ready performance is expected to support stronger CAASPP outcomes, while the measures are not interchangeable. Professional Learning Community (PLCs) : Monthly grade-level PLCs in 2026-27 focus on common assessments, student work, progress monitoring, instructional adjustments, and targeted supports or extensions. Eight schools receive targeted Solution Tree coaching; Kennedy, Henry Ford, and Garfield receive onsite and virtual support, while McKinley, Roosevelt, Hoover, Adelante, and Orion receive virtual support. Early Literacy: BPST and Aprendo provide specific foundational-skills information for English and Spanish literacy instruction. Multitudes is a universal K-2 screener that identifies students who may be at risk; it does not by itself assign a student to intervention Curriculum: Benchmark/ Adelante include interim, weekly, quick-check, and unit assessments. Illustrative Mathematics includes daily Cool Downs, mid-unit checkpoints, and end-of-unit assessments; digital dashboards can show performance by standard. Baseline Data Highlight The 2025-26 Multitudes baseline included 2,464 K-2 students. Overall, 1,703 students (69.12%) were on target and 761 students (30.88%) were identified as needing additional review or support. Results were similar by assessment language: 69.40% on target in English and 68.37% on target in Spanish. By grade, 71.50% of kindergarten students, 65.22% of first-grade students, and 70.49% of second-grade students were on target. Site and student-group results will be used to focus on follow-up analysis and instructional planning. District Response and Next Steps Use Multitudes to identify who needs a closer review, then examine classroom evidence, teacher observations, and diagnostic results such as BPST or Aprendo to determine the specific skill need. Provide targeted Tier 1 differentiation or Tier 2 support based on the identified skill, and monitor progress to determine whether the student is responding. Continue monthly PLC cycles with common goals, assessments, and progress monitoring; principals and Solution Tree coaches will support consistent implementation. Use Benchmark/Adelante interim assessments and Illustrative Mathematics checkpoints to strengthen standards-based planning, reteaching, intervention, and enrichment.
