Our school leaders review school performance relative to comparable and best performing schools, progress relative to short- and long-term goals, and the ability to meet changing school needs. How?

Data Collection for C

Every fall, each community reviews the Illinois Standards Assessment Test (ISAT) results in comparison with previous years and also in comparison with district and state scores. Specific attention is given to school performance (80% meeting and exceeding performance expectations) and implications that may be revealed. This information is reviewed with district student performance data. Instructional targets are developed and become an integral part of the School Improvement Plan.

Dirksen Primary School provides like other Pekin 108 schools the district Standards, Assessment, and Instruction (SAI) assessment according to a district assessment cycle—fall, winter, and spring. The results are reviewed by individual classroom teachers, grade level teams, and community teams to improve instructional planning and delivery.
