After viewing your data from the SY14-15, has your Change Project's "sense of urgency" been validated? Why or why not?

Since reviewing my end of year results, I am a bit disappointed.  I know overall, the need for urgency, is not quite validated.  All year long, most grade levels were low in numbers and operations, especially kindergarten and first grade which is what prompted my project.  Plus, just everyday observations demonstrated the need as well.

The end of year results showed an increase in numbers and operations but they scored lower in measurement and data.  Here is some data below:

For kindergarten, 30 students were below grade level in measurement and data, 22 students were below level in algebra and algebraic thinking, and 21 students were below level in numbers and operations.

Even though the need is not validated for the end of year results, I know for both the beginning of the year and the middle of year results, the students scored lowest in numbers and operations.  The end of year results varied for almost all grade levels too.  Also, this same trend was in the previous year's results.
