Data-driven assessment, planning, and teaching are the essential supports to continue moving forward on the path to high achievement for all students. Our staff is dedicated to motivating and encouraging the very best from our students, parents and teachers. We strive to build a literate environment where every student is learning at his/her maximum potential through the use of best practices and technology across all content areas. We encourage all students to become life long learners and contributing members of society and of the global economy. School Priorities as of May 2013 Description Provide rigorous differentiated reading/language arts instruction utilizing the Guided Reading model from Fountas and Pinnel as a professional guide. Through the guided reading instructional practice move toward alignment with the Common Core State Standards and supporting students with non-fiction text. Provide all students with rigorous math instruction and problem solving experiences which will positively impact our implementation of common core state standards and our commitment to helping every student attend college and become a life long learner. The subject areas found within the CCSS are Operations and Algebraic Thinking, Number and Operations - Base Ten, Number and Operations - Fractions, Measurement and Data, and Geometry. Provide all students access to hands-on experiment/laboratory based rigorous science instruction aligned with the common core standards. Rationale We used Fountas & Pinnell reading levels at the end of year 2011 to determine 32% of our students were reading at grade level. We are focused on differentiated instruction and guided reading to increase our students reading capacity. Teachers will focus on identifying reading needs and specifically addressing the need in guided reading groups. Identifying individual students' literacy needs and instructional levels with the Fountas and Pinnell leveling system gives teachers data to address specific reading skills. Students will have opportunities to reading and discuss text that they can comprehend with support of the teacher in small group guided reading. Our goal is to obtain 50% of our students reading at grade level according to Fountas & Pinnell. Based upon a comparision of Scantron scores (10.95% students in the fourth quartile) and NWEA projected scores, (2.43% of our students in the fourth quartile), we are reassessing our instructional methodologies so that our use of Math Trailblazers and Connected Math will better prepare our students for more immediate success on MClass and Common Core state assessments. After carefully studying the implications of our ISAT Science data (57.8% of our students at or above), we are committed to moving all grades into a more rigorous scientific method based instructional format. Relying, in part, on the natural linkage between our math programs and scientific investigations, we expect all students to develop a greater understanding of science in our world, and the implications it holds for our college bound population.
Provide all students with multiple technologically based opportunities for skill based success. These interactive tutorial programs (such as Lexia, Study Island, Kids College, Elevate Learning and Mavis Beacon) will help all students gain the accumen needed to enter college, and become proficient life long learners. Building upon our daily use of technology in grades 2-6, we are developing a more statistically referenced plan for the use of the hardware and software assets we currently own. Scantron scores show that incoming 3rd graders have deficits in reading. Also, based upon 2011 Scantron data in grades 3-5, 27.8% of our students score at or above, while the 6th grade scores show that 20.7% of our students score at or above. It is our goal to positively impact growth in all student groups through the more prescriptive implementation of technology based interactive tutorial programs. Lastly, we intend to use our existing technology to foster the skills needed to excel within the Common Core group/product driven assessments.
