Status and Improvement Report Improvement Year 2014-15 Summary of Progress Grades K-5 have aligned curriculum maps to the CCSS in ELA and Math and continue to revise their targeted timelines based on students needs. Teachers have received training on CCSS Mathematical Practices and CCSS shifts for both ELA and Math. ILT members selected a common goal for the 2014- school year based on school-wide data and will focus on math problem-solving. This year, we are in full implementation of the Reading Wonders program in grades K-5; teachers utilize the Reading Wonders program and KidBiz to provide a balance of literary and informational text for their students. In math, all teachers are including collaborative conversation opportunities for students and grades 1, 3, 4 and 5 are implementing the Stepping Stones program to address CCSS in math. 10 of teachers were trained on Singapore Math Strategies by Dr. Ban Har Yeap and are implementing strategies in their classroom instruction as well as collaborative conversations (LT focus). This year, in hopes to close the achievement gap and increase our student growth percentile, we focused on improving and consistently implementing the school s RTI system. A new school-wide universal screener (i-ready) used to assess students ability and progress in math and reading was selected. Grades 1-5 use the program for reading and grades K-5 for math. Students were assessed three times a year and data was used to provide tiered support to students. Grade levels also continued to use DIBELS (grades K-2 only) and grade-level CFAs (common formative assessments) to address the needs of each individual student. As part of RTI and data teams, teachers use the results from the various sources to drive their instruction, include differentiation strategies in their instruction, and provide intervention for students when needed. Manoa also implements a proactive approach to behavior through our Positive Behavior Support program; grade levels have created common Learning Responsibilities Plan and teachers/counselors provide guidance lessons that reflect the Value of the Month. 10 of Manoa teachers continue to collaborate and use assessment data to drive their instruction through the data team process. This year, grade-level data teams focused on math problemsolving which is aligned with the ILT (instructional learning team) goal. Each grade level has completed two full data team cycles. Grade levels meet twice a month to analyze student work, discuss students progress towards the standard(s), and determine implications for curriculum by modifying instruction and implementing a common instructional strategy.
