Salina USD 305 is a progressive, learner-focused school district. We believe our entire school community is responsible for the success of our students and we each share in the responsibility. It takes everyone, working cooperatively, to reach our common goal: Learning for All, Whatever It Takes! An early-learning center, eight elementary, two middle and two high schools serve students in pre-kindergarten through grade 12. Enrollment is 7,292 (September 2018). The school district is the sponsoring agency for the following educational programs: • Central Kansas Cooperative in Education: CKCIE is a special education cooperative of 12 school districts providing special education support services to public schools. • Heartland Early Education/Head Start: This multi-county program serves preschool students and their parents, partnering with other social service agencies to provide support services for these families. • Salina Adult Education Center: This program provides adult basic education, English as a second language support, GED® preparation and testing as well as college skill building for people 16 years of age or older and out of school. SAEC operates a diploma completion program for adults to meet requirements and earn a Central or South High School diploma. An intensive employment course called Partners 4 Success was developed by SAEC and is run in collaboration with Salina area agencies and employers. Board Members The board of education meets at 5:00 p.m. the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month (except July, October, November, December, January and May) in the district office, 1511 Gypsum, Salina. Contact information is listed on the District website www.usd305.com . Board Members (elected July, 2019) • Ann Zimmerman, President • Gabe Grant, Vice-President • Carol Brandert, Member • Gary Denning, Member • Emma Doherty, Member • Nedra Elbl, Member • Jim Fletcher, Member 1 Key Staff Superintendent: Linn Exline Executive Director of Business: Lisa Peters Accountant: Cristal Fowler-Srna Executive Director of Student and Administrative Support Services: Shanna Rector Executive Director of School Improvement: Tiffany Snyder Director of Staff Development: Heidi Paquin Director of Assessment: Krista DeVoe Executive Director of Special Education Cooperative: Mike Lowers Executive Director of Human Resources: Eryn Wright Executive Director of Operations: Kristofer Upson Director of Food and Nutrition Services: Laine Norris Public Information Director: Jennifer Bradford-Vernon The District’s Accomplishments and Challenges Accomplishments: 2018-2019 Achievement Assessment Results Benchmark Assessment System The Benchmark Assessment System, created by Fountas and Pinnell, is used to determine individual student instructional levels, so daily instruction matches individual student needs. This assessment is individually administered to students. It measures accuracy, fluency and comprehension. USD 305 BAS data show that at all grade levels the percent of students reading on grade level increased from fall to spring. At every grade level, more than 65% of our students were able to read grade level text when assessed in the spring of 2019. 2 3 4 NWEA MAP USD 305 uses the NWEA MAP (Measure of Academic Progress), a norm-referenced assessment, to measure math computation and problem solving at grades 1 and 2. This assessment is a computerized adaptive assessment that is administered in a group setting. The graph below shows the percent of our students at grades 1 and 2 who are performing at or above grade level on the math portion of the MAP assessment. The first graders in 2017-18 were the first group to have all-day kindergarten. Additionally, Eureka math was introduced to students, district-wide, in kindergarten through 5 th grades in 2018-2019. ACT Aspire The ACT Aspire is designed to monitor progress toward college and career readiness. The results are aligned with the ACT College Readiness Benchmarks. The summative assessment measures performance in English, math, reading, and science. Results from the ACT Aspire can be used to predict performance on the ACT for students in grades 8, 9, and 10. The ACT Aspire summative was administered in the fall to our students in grades 3, 6, 9, and 10. It is important to note that results are reported using spring standard scores. USD 305 students were tested in the fall but are being compared to cut scores that were set based upon performance of students taking the same test in the spring semester. 5 6 The ACT Aspire Interim was administered in the fall and spring to measure student progress towards the ACT College and Career Readiness Standards and provide data for a more targeted and responsive program of instruction. The interim was administered to students in grades 4, 5, 7 and 8 in our district. Students meeting the benchmark increased at every grade level between fall 2018 and spring 2019 in math and reading. 7 Kansas Assessments Each spring our students in grades 3-8 and 10 take Kansas Assessments in ELA and math; grades 5, 8 and 11 take the state science assessment. The scores are reported in four levels. Students at level one are not performing at grade level according to this assessment. An analysis completed by the Center for Educational Testing (CETE) of the Kansas assessment and correlating ACT scores concluded that students scoring at levels from mid-2 to 4 are at grade level and on track to being college and career ready in ELA. 8 Students scoring at levels 3-4 in math are at grade level and on track to being college and career ready. The three graphs below show a comparison of our students’ performance by category on ELA, math and science assessments. 9 Program Highlights (Not an inclusive list, just a sample) • Schilling, Oakdale and South Middle School received the “Challenge Award of Merit” for outstanding achievement and uncommon accomplishment based on Kansas math and reading assessment results and other qualifying factors. • Sunset Elementary developed partnerships with the KWU Women’s Soccer Team and The Bank of Tescott. • Stewart Elementary implemented a weekly 40-minute PLC resulting in great professional learning and conversations. • Schilling Elementary had 376 students (nearly 94 percent) complete the annual School Marathon. • Oakdale Elementary piloted (and will continue) an after school robotics program through a grant from the Greater Salina Community Foundation. • Meadowlark Ridge Elementary saw student gains (indicated by teacher surveys) in social and emotional character development and life skills.

  • Title: the Distribution of an Illustrated Timeline Wall Chart and Teacher's Guide of 20Fh Century Physics
    REPORT NSF GRANT #PHY-98143318 Title: The Distribution of an Illustrated Timeline Wall Chart and Teacher’s Guide of 20fhCentury Physics DOE Patent Clearance Granted December 26,2000 Principal Investigator, Brian Schwartz, The American Physical Society 1 Physics Ellipse College Park, MD 20740 301-209-3223 [email protected] BACKGROUND The American Physi a1 Society s part of its centennial celebration in March of 1999 decided to develop a timeline wall chart on the history of 20thcentury physics. This resulted in eleven consecutive posters, which when mounted side by side, create a %foot mural. The timeline exhibits and describes the millstones of physics in images and words. The timeline functions as a chronology, a work of art, a permanent open textbook, and a gigantic photo album covering a hundred years in the life of the community of physicists and the existence of the American Physical Society . Each of the eleven posters begins with a brief essay that places a major scientific achievement of the decade in its historical context. Large portraits of the essays’ subjects include youthful photographs of Marie Curie, Albert Einstein, and Richard Feynman among others, to help put a face on science. Below the essays, a total of over 130 individual discoveries and inventions, explained in dated text boxes with accompanying images, form the backbone of the timeline. For ease of comprehension, this wealth of material is organized into five color- coded story lines the stretch horizontally across the hundred years of the 20th century. The five story lines are: Cosmic Scale, relate the story of astrophysics and cosmology; Human Scale, refers to the physics of the more familiar distances from the global to the microscopic; Atomic Scale, focuses on the submicroscopic This report was prepared as an account of work sponsored by an agency of the United States Government.
