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?
Based on our data disaggregation, the leadership team at Pembroke Lakes decided we need to focus on Mathematics. We will continue to maintain a strong emphasis on Reading.
|
|
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?
- ACCEL for qualifying students
- Accountable Talk
- iReady Standards Mastery Assessments in reading and mathematics
- Standards-Based small group instruction in reading and mathematics
- Go Math digital tools, including Personal Math Trainer
- School Improvement Plan (SIP) curriculum meetings on a monthly basis to ensure vertical planning and maintain focus on school priorities and strategies for the year
- Integrated, standards-based ELA Block
- Small Group Guided Reading Training followed by observation and coaching by the Literacy Coach
- Use of Continuum of Literacy Learning
- Use of Resource room for small group and independent reading according to appropriate BAS levels
|
|
Describe in detail how the BEST Practice(s) will be scaled-up.
BEST Practices will be scaled-up through professional development, observation, feedback and coaching.

How does the school ensure the fidelity of students not progressing towards school and district goals?
Pembroke Lakes Support Staff and Administration closely monitor students who are on a PMP or on a Tier through BASIS. Support Staff and administration discuss these students every Monday at weekly Support Staff Meetings and/or Thursdays at weekly RtI Meetings. Administration also discusses student data during observation process. Students not progressing are monitored through data chats throughout the year. Fidelity of Tier II and Tier III interventions are monitored by Support Staff and Administration throughout the year.
|
|
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)?
Universal Designs for Learning is utilized throughout the year during weekly team planning meetings. Uniform team lesson planning and lesson plans provide evidence of the use of UDL. In addition, UDL is monitored during observations throughout the year.
|
|
How does the school ensure Tier 1 Standards-Based classroom instruction is being implemented properly and effectively?
Teams meet for lesson planning purposes on a weekly basis. During these meetings, standards are unwrapped and instructional materials are analyzed to ensure alignment with the rigor each standard calls for. In ELA, we continue to focus on Balanced Literacy to ensure students are exposed to a variety of text (fiction and informational) as well as texts at various levels (independent, instructional and frustration) that are deliberately used throughout the Integreated ELA block.
Our Literacy Coach engages teachers in coaching cycles throughout the year, based on need. Administration provides all teachers wth feedback on instructional practices throughout the year.
|
|
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?
Last school year, we established a school resource room. Books in this room range from informational to fiction books, leveled by BAS levels. We also have additional titles leveled by Lexile Levels. Additionally, teachers were all given titles related to grade level social studies and science texts. Finally, teachers were provided with additional texts to keep in their classroom libraries for student access. Lastly, our students have access to a plethora of online texts, including articles, fiction, and non-fiction texts through NewsELA, BookFlix, and Tumble Books.

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.
As a result of our implementation of the 4-Step Problem Solving method, our Mathematics scores increased as follows:
Math proficiency increase from 78% to 81%, math learning gains improved from 65% to 73%, and our math learning gains from the lowest quartile improved from 55% to 73%.
