On October 15, 2014, Kelly Scapellato, Supervisor of Special Services at Medford Lakes BOE, presented a comprehensive review of student performance across grades 3 to 8, comparing mean scores from 2012 to 2014. The report highlights initiatives for continuous improvement, such as redesigned Basic Skills Instruction for the 2014-15 school year, using programs like Journeys and Envisions, focusing on direct teacher-to-student instruction. The introduction of MAP testing ensures consistent annual assessments as we transition to the computer-based PARCC assessments in Spring 2015, aligning tests with Common Core Standards.
