achievement needs, insure student progress, and may be revised when appropriate. As evidenced in the SES Band Data, which content area(s) will be the focus for improving student achievement and why was this area chosen? Literacy will contunue to be the focus for improving student achievement. Students demonstrated the most deficit areas based on the 2018 ELA FSA and iReady diagnostic data. What specific BEST Practice(s) will be implemented or scaled-up to improve teaching and learning in order to increase performance within the SES Band? i-Ready will be utilized with all students enrolled in reading. Describe in detail how the BEST Practice(s) will be scaled-up. i-Ready will be implemented at least 45 minutes per week for all students enrolled in reading. What specific school-level progress monitoring data is collected and how often? iReady diagnostics will be conducted three times per year. Additional growth monitoring data will be collected through iReady. How does the school ensure the fidelity of students not progressing towards school and district goals? Monthly iReady data will be reviewed to ensure that students are making gains and instruction will be adjusted based on individualized needs. How does the school ensure that all classroom instruction is accessible to the full range of learners using Universal Designs for Learning (UDL) for effective instructional design (planning) and delivery (teaching)? All students have an IEP (Individual Educational Plan) that delineates specific accommodations each student requires to maximize their learning. How does the school ensure Tier 1 Standards-Based classroom instruction is being implemented properly and effectively? Flexibility is provided in the time and support each student needs to meet the standard. Teachers follow a cycle of instruction— assessment, planning, instruction, assessment, and re-teaching-so all students meet specific, clearly stated and understood, high academic standards in each content area. Describe texts used for core, supplemental, and intervention programs at each grade level. How does the school ensure students have access to a balance of literary and informational text in a variety of mediums? Grades K-5 use Journeys for Reading and ELA instruction.
