GOAL 2: PROVIDE AN EFFECTIVE INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAM
MILESTONE 1: All students acquire the essential skills in pre-kindergarten and knowledge to meet or exceed standards in reading and math by the end of Grade 2.
DATA POINT: TerraNova
OVERVIEW
In 2007, the Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) administered the TerraNova Second Edition (TN/2) Complete Battery to Grade 2 students. The TN/2 assesses skills in reading, language, mathematics, language mechanics, and mathematics computation. The TN/2 provides a comparison of performance of MCPS student with Grade 2 students nationwide.
TN/2 results are reported using normal curve equivalent (NCE) scores, a metric that allows comparisons of groups of students over time. In 2007, almost 70 percent of MCPS Grade 2 students exceeded the TN/2 50th NCE in reading, language, mathematics, language mechanics, mathematics computation, and overall—the composite score. The TN2 composite index is the average NCE scores for reading, language and mathematics tests. It is a reliable indicator of overall student performance
