Over the next few posts, I am going to feature in graphic form the EQAO results from 2013 – 2014 for grade 3 and 6. We can learn a tremendous amount about our school community by reviewing and discussing these results.
Today – parent engagement in the areas of reading, computer use, agendas and generally talking about school.
EQAO Results
I am continuing presenting a series of slides for staff and parents on last year’s EQAO results. Today, I am featuring two slides on parent engagement – what percentage of parents are involved in their sons and daughters education? The results are based on the student questionnaires taken during testing last year. What do these results tell us?
- Parent engagement – grade 3 2014
While 62% of grade 3 students say they talk about school with their parents, only 19% say they read with their parents and 38% use a computer together on a regular basis. Is there anything we can do to improve these results? Do these results have an impact on our students’ scores?
- Parent engagement Grade 6 2014
If we look at the grade 6 results, we can see that 9% of students read with their parents one to three times a week, O% of parents read to their children daily. Only 9% of parents use the computer with their children daily. Clearly this is a trend that we have to take seriously. Is there anything we can do to encourage parents to become more engaged in the work of their children?
This is something we all need to work on together if we want to improve our results on EQAO testing. How can we do this?
Tomorrow – student attitudes towards reading and writing.
