School Improvement Plan Summary Overall goal ( What we want to accomplish by the end of the second year.) 100% of Lake Norman Elementary students will be proficient in reading as measured by the Reading 3D TRC (K 2) and EOG (3 5). Target goal (What we want to accomplish this year.) 90% of students in K 2 will be proficient as measured by the Reading 3D TRC. 80 % of students in grades 3 5 will be proficient as measured by the EOG. 75% of students in grades 3 5 will be college and career ready as measured by the EOG. Approaches/Strategies (What we will do to realize our goal.) Master schedule reflects time for tiered interventions with maximized support. Continue a MTSS Team that meets monthly to reflect on progress and fidelity. MTSS support within PLC meetings to ensure engagement in the RIOT process. MTSS Folder Review at the PLC level. Evidence based interventions prescribed and implemented with fidelity. Lesson plan reviews, CWT, and Dolphin fidelity checks will be completed by leadership. PD opportunities utilized to strengthen core instruction and increase rigor with a balanced literacy approach. Measures; we will use to monitor our progress toward reaching our goal: Performance/Impact: Students in grades K 3 will make a 3 letter level gain as measured by the Reading 3D TRC. 80% of students in grades 4 5 will be proficient as measured by district assessments. Fidelity of implementation: Lesson plan reviews, CWT, MTSS Folder Reviews, and Dolphin fidelity checks During the 90 day cycle time for cycle 1 and 2 we will revisit/monitor our plan every 4 weeks 1

5 65 53 35 Data Analysis. Answer the following question using any data and/or information you have about performance in this area 1. In order to meet your Overall Goal, what is the most important area that needs improving and why? Strengthening our Core instruction by revisiting key strategies for Balanced Literacy. Also, the continuation of tiered support and fidelity. As a school. at each grade level, we would like to be at 80/15/5 for number of students in tiered instruction.. 2. What approaches/strategies are contributing to your success in this area and what data suggests this? Revisit and extend core initiatives Daily Five, Words Their Way, Guided Reading and Read to Achieve Revisit and extend RtI initiatives LetterLand Interventions, FCRR, Progress Monitoring RtI tracking indicates positive growth and movement from phonics to fluency and fluency to comprehension. It also indicates movement from Tier 2 1 back to Tier 1 watch. 3. What are opportunities for improvement, gap or barriers in this area? Strengthen core instruction to keep our RtI support numbers in the 80 / 15 / 5 ranges Balanced literacy. Rigorous instruction and time management are all possible obstacles to be overcome. Also, TA support has been reduced so there are less people to work with our students that need interventions. Fidelity of RtI processes Intervention time / frequency, RIOT paperwork. Our common Dolphin time has been changed in the master schedule so we need to develop our plan for accountability of RtI support services. Leadership fidelity checks RtI folder reviews (routine PLC agenda item), MTSS team reflection on team plans Strengthen accountability model to ensure high achieving or AIG students needs are met, and showing growth. 3
4. What seems to be the root cause of the problem and what data suggests this? Process improvements need to be made to ensure school wide consistency. PLC accountability needs to be strengthened and consistent EOY RtI folder reviews suggested big improvements in our understanding and process fidelity. We will continue that improvement for folder reviews as we move students between tiers. Reflection: 5. What approaches/strategies could you deploy to address the root cause and support meeting your overall goal? Our MTSS / PLC Chair team will be used to keep the accountability high for our RtI process. Continued review of RtI data within the SIP to ensure Goal Team meetings are actively engaged in the work. Leadership will monitor lesson plans to ensure rigorous and appropriate core instruction. 6. What research did you review to support the use of these strategies/approaches? 2015 EOY process check indicated substantial improvement in each component of the RtI process. The EOG data for 3rd 5th shows increased decline in proficiency and college and career readiness as students move toward 5th grade. This reflects a need for our core to be refocused 7. What performance measures will you use to monitor impact of your approach/strategy? Continue our MTSS Team that meets monthly to reflect on progress and fidelity with documented minutes and attendance logs. MTSS support within PLC meetings to ensure engagement in the RIOT process documented minutes and attendance logs. Lesson plan reviews, CWT and fidelity checks will be completed by Leadership. Documented on checklists / reviews. PD opportunities utilized to strengthen core instruction and increase rigor with a balanced literacy approach documented on attendance logs. 8. What measure will you use to monitor fidelity of deployment of your strategy/approach? MTSS folder reviews at the PLC level documented with Folder Review Checklist Evidence based interventions prescribed and implemented with fidelity using RtI planning sheets within PLCs. Lesson plan reviews, CWT and RtI fidelity checks will be completed by Leadership and documented on checklists / reviews. 9. What professional development, if any, will be offered in cycle 1 to support the staff in implementing the approach? Balanced Literacy training and RtI Process Training for new documentation components. 4
10. If funding is required, what funding source will be used? Daily 5 memberships would be beneficial. If these are possible, local and state budget will be used. Messaging: 11. How will you convey intent of this focus area of SIP to stakeholders? Out SIP will be shared with staff during beginning of year staff meetings. It will then become a working document that will be an essential component used during SIT, Goal Teams, MTSS and PLC Meetings. 12. How will you communicate progress towards goals or course corrections to stakeholders? As a working document, our SIP will become the heart of our SIT, MTSS, PLC meetings and it will be reviewed on a monthly basis by our goal teams to ensure we are consistent with our performance measures to progress towards our targets and goals.
