Describe all intervention strategies employed by the school to improve the academic performance of students identified by the early warning system. At Deerfield Beach High School, our Response to Intervention Team includes grade level Assistant Principals, our school Social Worker, our School's Psychologist, our ESE Specialist, and our Literacy Coach. We meet weekly or more often to assist our students with their academic and social emotional needs. We use mentors, Behavior Plans, Academic Progress Reports, and Tutoring for interventions. Our school Social Worker meets regularly with our most At-Risk students. Our school counselors meet with our students who require assistance. Our school's psychologist is available to assist with any extra testing that might be necessary. RtI Team Meeting Schedule Day(s) of Week Week(s) of Month Start/End Dates Start/End Times

8:30 AM - 1:30 PM 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. 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? Based on the SES band data we will focus on the areas of Literacy and Mathematics. We are concerned with our students performance in both areas because they are graduation requirements. 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? At Deerfield Beach High School, we will provide staff development in specific strategies to improve instruction and student learning for our students in the lowest quartile for our Reading and Math teachers. We will also participate and carefully monitor the activities and data of our Professional Learning Communities. We will also use collaborative assessments and work harder to provide effective feedback to both teachers and students. Classroom Walk-throughs will be conducted through our Reading Across Content Area Classrooms (RACC) and regularly scheduled Classroom Walk-throughs are scheduled for classes not participating in RACC. Quarterly data chats will be conducted by Content Area Assistant Principals. Reading teachers and Administrators will also conduct student data chats Describe in detail how the BEST Practice(s) will be scaled-up. As we are focusing on improving the student learning gains in ELA, Algebra 1, and Geometry, we will provide Learning Station Training for our Intensive Reading Teachers and Math and Literacy Training for Algebra and Geometry Teachers. Reading Teachers will utilize the Assessment tools in the Achieve 3000 Program to monitor student progress in ELA standard mastery. Small Group instruction through Learning Stations will be a component of every Reading class. English teachers will collaborate with Reading teachers to monitor Junior and Senior activities on Khan Academy. What specific school-level progress monitoring data is collected and how often? Florida Assessments for Instruction in Reading (FAIR) –Beginning, Middle, and End of Year. How does the school ensure the fidelity of students not progressing towards school and district goals? Our Response to Intervention Team (RTI) has provided training to assist teachers with implementing Tier 2 and Tier 3 Interventions. They meet every Tuesday to assess, monitor, and manage RTI referrals on BASIS. Deerfield Beach High School has a plethora of Extended Learning Opportunities for students not progressing towards school and district goals. For example, we have Saturday School, the YMCA After-School Program, and English Language Learner Camp. 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)? To ensure that all classroom instruction is accessible to our diverse population of student learners, we utilize differentiated instruction, ELL Learning Strategies, and ESE Learning Strategies. We have a full range of English Language translation dictionaries. We also make effective use of our PLC’s to build the capacity of instructional design for all teachers. How does the school ensure Tier 1 Standards-Based classroom instruction is being implemented properly and effectively? Our administrators conduct regular walk-throughs and observation using the I-Observation tool. Feedback is given after walk-throughs or observations. Our department chairs assist teachers with lesson planning through their PLC’s 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? ELA and Reading- Our English students use the District Adopted and approved Collections Series. Our students enrolled in the Reading classes are using the Edge Series. We use Achieve 3000, Vocabulary.com, Khan Academy, and Newela technology based programs as well. Please complete this section based on 2018-2019 end-of-year results. Our Graduation Rate improved from 91% to 93%. We credit our school's SAT tutoring programs and Kahn Academy. Meeting the Reading Requirement is a major reason that our Seniors do not graduate. By incorporating programs to assist with SAT Prep and the Florida State Standards for ELA, we were able to assist our students with meeting the Reading requirement. We also used State Accountability Funds to purchase additional SAT tests for students who needed more support.

Algebra I and Geometry- Larson Algebra I and Hold McDougal Geometry. Each student at Deerfield Beach High is provided a math textbook for their course. Students are provided with additional workbooks to supplement their math skills. Teachers use project based learning to show the students a real world perspective to the mathematics they are learning. Students use computer based instruction on a weekly basis to prepare for the EOC exams and to research and design projects. Teachers use the internet and videos to enhance the mathematical learning.
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.
