Principal Rodriguez,

It has truly been a pleasure serving your rising 2nd and 3rd grade scholars this summer. Perseverance,
self-reflection, and community were strong values in the PMP classroom modeled by our teaching
team and displayed by the scholars as our program progressed. Throughout the 20 days of
programming, we saw scholars like Ariadna Ramos, Carlos Gutierrez and Luis Benavidez grow
both academically and interpersonally.

In 2nd Grade, Ariadna Ramos was initially unable to distinguish the short “A” and “E” sounds in
words. Now, after participating in the program, Ariadna has progressed to reading and
comprehending longer passages!

In 1st Grade, Carlos Gutierrez struggled with his behavior. As the days progressed he became
increasingly patient and willing to help his teacher. By the end of the program, he always wanted
to help with papers and tried to encourage classmates to be respectful and listen during class. He
definitely became a more effective
self-regulator by taking on more responsibility. Luis Benavidez began the summer very self
conscious about his ability to read. As the summer progressed, he became more comfortable
reading aloud and showed a stronger work ethic. By his last week he was able to sound out
basic words and read simple words with some guidance. His patience grew immensely as did
his ability and desire to grow as a reader.

While I am excited to share the quantitative results, I would be remiss if I didn’t share these
stories on the impact of Practice Makes Perfect on scholars at PS 82 this summer. So many
times we get lost in the data. These types of anecdotes aren’t always measurable, but something
that we at PMP find value in.

This summer, scholars had the opportunity to grow outside of the classroom. With the help of the
teaching fellows, students continued to make strides in their development by participating in the
various activities put on by the fellows which included theatre practice, two field-days, film production
and weekly classroom prizes.

In the upcoming pages, please find your data package attached. Thank you for the opportunity to
work with your young scholars. It was truly a wonderful experience for our staff and we look
forward to partnering next summer.

Best,

Growth

In order to assess for student growth on the selected units, PMP utilizes
assessments that are aligned to unit standards. The units are Common Core
aligned and created by us at PMP for ELA and Engage NY for Math.

Assessmen In addition to pre- and post-assessments, PMP does up to 6 smaller formative

t interim assessments that provide a more detailed look into the mastery of each
Information standard for each individual student.

PMP uses Mastery Trackers to collect the data from both the formative and
summative assessments throughout the program.

▪ 90% of students surveyed said they learned from PMP.

Stakeholder ▪ 89% of parents surveyed felt their child is more prepared for the coming
Satisfaction year than if they had not enrolled in PMP.

▪ 89% of parents surveyed would enroll their child in PMP again given the
option.
 ▪ “ I hope this program continues every summer and my child has the
opportunity to enroll next year!”
