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

Students' academic performance are monitored at least weekly and discussed in grade level team meetings. Additionally, grade level teams meet with administration and support staff to share students' data at our monthly CPST and data chats. Students' academic performance are tracked using such reports as BAS, i-Ready, teacher-made assessments, and district assessments. Targeted students are discussed and resources aligned to students' needs during weekly CPST meetings.

Some of the instructional materials used to target students' academic needs in Reading include Explode the Code, Phonics for Reading, Quick Reads, Words Their Way, i-Ready Toolbox, LLI, Rise/Rise-Up, i-Ready LAFS, The Comprehension Toolkit, Write in Reader, Vocabualry.com, and Jan Richardson Strategies.

Some of the instructional materials used to target students' needs in Math include i-Ready MAFS, Engage NY, i-Ready.com, and Go Math! Reteacher and Intensive Intervention.

We monitor to ensure teachers implement highly effective instructional strategies to ensure all students receive quality and impactful Tier 1 instruction every day. Direct training and support is provided to teachers as a part of the schoolwide continuous improvement model.

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

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?

For the 2018-2019 School Year, our school will focus on improving student achievement performance on the FSA ELA (Reading). Specifically, we will increase overall proficiency to 70% (+6 points), learning gains to 70% (+4 points), and learning gains for the lowest quartile to 63%.(+18 points). We have selected Reading as our focus because our FSA ELA data indicate there has been little/no academic growth in this content area among students over the past three years.

 

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?

During the 2018-2019 school year, we will ensure that planning, instruction, assignments, and assessments are aligned to the rigor of the grade level standards. We will ensure students are provided targeted instruction and intervention to meet their individual academic needs. Resources will be available so students will experience enrichment, remediation, and reteach assignments. Teachers will also be provided training based on their needs as reflected through administrative observations and student data. Additionally, there will be deliberate teacher training and support in the areas of small group instruction, differentiated instruction, guided reading, and interactive read aloud strategies.

 

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

Our Literacy Coach will model, and PDs will be scheduled, to provide research-based best practices in small group instruction, differentiated instruction, guided reading, and interactive read aloud strategies. As a follow-up, teachers will be provided opportunities to observe highly effective instructional practices among their peers (The Pineapple Chart) and  attend school/district trainings. Student artifacts will be discussed and data will be analyzed to determine common errors, patterns in student performance, etc. at least weekly. 

 

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

Data is collected at least bi-weekly using iReady Reports. Additionally, data from teacher-made assessments are included in the monthly grade-level data chats.

 

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

Each week, the CPST meets with affected teachers to discuss the progress of students who are performing below grade level. Teachers share the instructional practices and intervention strategies they are using to meet students' academic needs, along with the corresponding resources. Teachers are provided training on how to use the resources as needed.

 

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)?

Our school ensures teachers use a variety of engagement strategies and techniques to build interest in the content being presented. Learning centers, individual assignments and other group assignments are designed to meet the learning styles of students. Additionally, students are encouraged to demonstrate learning in a variety of ways including visual mnemonics, illustrations, journal entries, demonstrations, and projects.

 

How does the school ensure Tier 1 Standards-Based classroom instruction is being implemented properly and effectively?

Teachers have been provided their grade level Florida Standards (K-5) and Test Item Specifications (Gr. 3-5). Administrators conduct CWTs to ensure teachers are implementing highly effective tier 1 standards-based instruction and review Plan Books to ensure alignment of lessons to the standards. Teachers are provided academic resources available through the district's Sharepoint portal. Also, teachers are provided common planning time and are encouraged to plan with their team at least bi-weekly. It has been communicated that teachers use the district-provided deconstructed standards (Math and ELA) to guide in planning and delivering instruction, and to ensure that assignments and assessments are aligned to the rigor of the standards.

 

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?
