BEST PRACTICE #2

An Embedded High Quality RtI Process

RESPONSE TO INTERVENTION (RTI)

Response to Intervention (RtI) uses student academic and behavior information to identify students with learning and behavior needs to guarantee that those in danger of failure and/or retention are receiving assistance and support.

Describe all intervention strategies employed by the school to improve the academic performance of students identified by the early warning system.

Tedder Elementary provides an extra hour of reading intervention for all students KG-grade 5.  During this extra hour teachers differentiate learning to provide intervention or enrichment through the use of a variety of programs such as Leveled Literacy Intervention, Phonics for Reading, and Novel Study. All teachers provide an additional half hour of math to provide tier 2 math intervention using Re-Teach Go Math material. All students in grades 2-5 utilize Reflex math to improve math fluency. We provide schoolwide math fluency drills to further improve the student's fluency.
All students indentified as our lowest 30% are provided an additional 30 minutes small group instruction in reading or math by our support staff.  All retained students in third grade are being provided an additional half hour of small group reading with our Literacy resource teacher using Leveled Literacy Intervention (LLI). 
Data chats are held with teachers, support staff and administration to discuss the needs of each students.Teachers also conduct data chats with students and set goals. Students have Guidelines for Success incentive cards that help them track their process in the areas of mini assessments, behavior, iready and homework. Students earn incentives for achievement. 
RtI is held weekly to further discuss fragile students and prescribe interventions.
Mentoring groups have been formed and selected students meet weekly with their mentor. referrals to outside agencies are done for students and families who demonstrate a need for counseling. All teachers will begin to implement Standford Harmony within their classroom.  This program will be taught 10-15 minutes daily in all classes to focus on implementation of  SEL strategies and practices.

BEST PRACTICE #4

Scaling Up BEST Practices

CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT

School improvement is based on a continuous improvement model, using research-based accepted best practices, which align with student achievement needs, insure student progress, and may be revised when appropriate.

 

Goals

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?

High Quality Instruction will be scaled up to improve teaching and learning to increase performance . Through PLC teachers will effectively identify improve their teaching practices. 

 

Describe in detail how the BEST Practice(s) will be scaled-up.

Through authentic professional learning communities (PLCs), Tedder will improve teaching and learning practices by establishing a strong focus on implementing effective lesson planning tools and strategies to increase teacher effectiveness in meeting student’s various needs. Using the PLC model, teachers will engage in professional learning opportunities based on identified individual needs aligned with the backwards design process, identifying curriculum resources, declarative vs. procedural knowledge, creating learning goals and assessments as well as classroom activities and assignments.  This structure will allow for collaborative inquiry and lesson studies using the analyzing student work (ASW) process which generates lesson pans that guide effective instruction for all.  As we maximize our time, we will explore opportunities and possibilities to have coaches, team leaders, and teachers collaborating on building lesson plans through interactive PowerPoints.  If this initiative goes well we will build upon it each semester for other grade levels. 

 

What specific school-level progress monitoring data is collected and how often?

BAS is completed three times a year in grades K-5.
Grades K- 5 i-Ready Math and Reading Diagnostic Assessment is completed three times a year.
Progress Montioring is completed using the Standard Mastery Assessment in i-Ready. The assessment is give after each instructional cycle is complete. 

 

How does the school ensure the fidelity of students not progressing towards school and district goals?

Each grade level is following an Instructional Focus Calendar that aligns directly to the Florida Standards.  Each grade level has time built into the calendar for assessing, reteaching, and reassessing each standard to meet the needs of all students.  Tedder Elementary School also has an extended day where one hour of the day is built into the school's schedule specifically to address the needs of all students in Reading.  This time frame is used to enrich, enhance, or remediate student learning to meet diverse needs of students.
Classroom teachers conduct frequent progress monitoring checks to determine the effectiveness of intervention/enrichment and to adjust instructional plans accordingly.  Data collected includes program based assessments, running records, Phonics Inventory, and Phonological Awareness Inventory.

 

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?

Students have access to informational text through a variety of books in the scholastic leveled libraries in their classrooms.  Teachers may also check out books from the scholastic leveled bookroom for small group instruction.  Through the use of the i Ready computer based program, and schoolcity  assessment database, students have the opportunity to be exposed to informational text. Students also have access to MyOn, which allows them to read informational text  for enjoyment online.

 

Please complete this section based on 2018-2019 end-of-year results.
Instructional Implications: Discuss the success of specific strategies/activities and provide a rationale as to why those academic improvements occurred as a result of those strategies.

Based on the 2018-2-2019 data Tedder increased in all subject areas based on providing authentic PLC. This structure will allowed for collaborative inquiry and lesson studies using the analyzing student work (ASW) process which generates lesson plans that guide effective instruction for all. We will continue to impletement the specfic startegies as outlined above.
