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

Glades Middle School is using a variety of strategies to improve the academic performance of students who have been identfy by the early warning system.


1. The School Wide Positive Behavior Plan (SWPBP) implementation is monitored quarterly by the SWPBP Committee using the dashboard data.  Teachers and administrators will adjust strategies when increases in disruptive behavior occur.  Individual students with three or more referrals per quarter are referred to RtI.  The CPST team monitors these students. 

2. Students failing two or more classes are referred to RtI and also to the Extra Help Thursday sessions.  The guidance counselors meet individually with students in the second quarter that are in danger of failing the grade and develop individual academic success plans.

3. Additionally, each academic area is utlizing a variety of strategies to assist the lower achieving students:

  • Mathematics - Peer tutoring - high performing mathematics students are pulled into a mathematics class, during their exploratory classes, to tutor struggling students one-on-one
  • Science: Quarterly students receive additional instruction and support based on performance on the formatative assessment. This instruction can be remediative, reinforcing or enrichment. 
  • Reading and Social Studies jointly collaborate to allow for a range of comprehension and content reading strategies to be integrated into the Social Studies curriculum. 



Additional  interventions startegies that the school will employ for both reading and Math are as follows: 
In the ELA department teachers will be utilizing achievecore.org to help improve the academic performance of students whom are not on grade level. The program will also be utilized with students from various academic steps to ensure that all students are successful. In order to assess for growth in particular areas of needs the department will then use USAtestprep for mid-evaluations to identify areas of growth.

The Math department will continue to progress monitor in the form of small group pull outs throughout the school year. The Department have utilized Khan Academy for students which helps with step by step practice and can be used for remediation as well. 

The Rti Process team continues to meet twice a month to discuss students who meet the criteria for either academic or behavioral support. Teachers have been provided a training in regards to accessing ways in which to acknowledge students who may need to be on the Rti. Further training, may be provided in order for teachers to use the system effectively.

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

Weekly walk through and observations by administration, reading, math coaches will take place to ensure the plan is being implemented with fidelity.

 

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?

The school utilizes computer-based programs that are aligned to state standards. These programs are funded by the district to assist in student achievement.

 

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.

Our school used a variety of startegies and activites that helped the school to gain academic success, these activites inlcuded Pushin -Pullout for both math and reading. The math department in particular worked alongside the science department with shared activities that tied into both subject areas. While the Social Studies and Reading Department collaborated with shared ideas that would help students develop specific reading comprehension skills. The goal was that if all standards were aligned with each department students will be getting the same information all day long.
