Mission Statement Our mission is to provide a safe and nurturing learning environment for children to achieve their individual maximum potential. Our desire is to develop students who persevere in their studies, take responsibility for their choices, and are honest in their character. We seek to equip the students with the necessary skills to thrive as productive workers and committed citizens, and to meet the challenge of change in a global community. We strive to help children explore and discover their gifts and talents, and to value and respect each other's uniqueness. In order to accomplish our mission, staff, parents and students must work in a collaboration of effort and trust with open communication. Our success will be measured by our students who exemplify a life-long love of learning. 3
Literacy Program Mission Statement The Literacy Program was developed to identify and support students who struggle to acquire foundational literacy skills. Literacy students are selected by the Integrated Learning Team (ILT) based on test assessment results and overall reading performance. Literacy teachers provide intervention, utilizing scientifically based researchreviewed programs (SBRR), to struggling readers in grades Kindergarten through grade four. The focus of this intervention is to develop and support students working knowledge of concepts of print, the alphabetic principle, academic and content specific vocabulary, reading comprehension strategies, and essential elements of the English writing system. Student success rate is monitored through formative and summative assessments. These foundational skills are a crucial component of a comprehensive literacy program and are designed to develop proficient readers with the ability to read, comprehend, and respond to texts across all disciplines. The Literacy Team maintains current practice through active participation in professional development and further extends their knowledge by providing learning opportunities to QPS staff system-wide. 4
Literacy Coordinator s Message Reading ability is a critical component to a child s overall academic development. Foundational reading skills are established during early learning years. As the student advances in grade level, so too advances the reading performance expectation. Today s college and career ready learner is required to effectively communicate in terms of: listening, speaking, reading, and writing in relation to varying academic domains, genres, and settings. Success in advanced learning hinges upon the stability of accomplished early reading foundation. Current research notes a positive correlation between early reading intervention and reading development. Therefore, it is imperative that students in need of additional reading support be identified at the earliest of formative years. members, in collaboration with the Integrated Learning Team members (ILT), must analyze data through a holistic approach and create a balanced literacy plan tailored to meet specific student needs. The members provide students with necessary explicit instruction in the areas of: phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. Student success rate is monitored regularly through informal and formal assessment opportunities, formative and summative in nature. Supporting struggling readers at early stages of development will better position students to attain high functioning reading independence and further promote academic success leading to lifelong learning.

a. Program Design Program Description The students serviced by the Literacy Program are those students that are determined to be at various risk levels for reading achievement. These students are identified as at risk by their performance scores on the Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (DIBELS) Next, Measures of Academic Progress (MAP), MAP for Primary Grades (MPG), Developmental Reading Assessment (DRA), and Marie Clay s Observation Survey. The Integrated Learning Team (ILT) analyzes assessment data and overall performance level. Students are then tiered in a three leveled system indicating the degree of support required. Tier One Tier Two Tier Three Currently presents at no risk for low reading achievement and requires no supplemental instruction. The student will be provided classroom instruction in an SBRR core program so as to continue grade level reading development. Currently presents at some risk for low reading achievement and may require some supplemental instruction to be successful in the core program. Currently presents at risk for low reading achievement and requires intensive instruction in SBRR reading interventions designed to accelerate student growth. Literacy teachers provide reading support to students presenting as Tier Three, unless the students receive reading support by another academic service provider. In addition, literacy teachers provide reading support to as many Tier Two students as the schedule permits. Data analysis has revealed that many literacy students also make up our schools subgroup populations. Quincy s EL population continues to increase. Therefore, primary languages other than English have become large in number and rich in diversity. In addition to the influx of EL students, many schools have highly transient populations and have seen increases in the number of students serviced from low socioeconomic status groups. The Literacy Program supports student need by: Identifying reading ability and performance level Analyzing assessment data so as to provide appropriate intervention Implementing prescribed intervention programs and strategies Monitoring student progress Adapting instruction based on formative and summative assessment findings The Literacy Program supports school need by: Organizing and analyzing assessment data Facilitating Integrated Learning Team meetings Providing reading counsel and professional development as needed 6
b. Measures of Student Achievement Literacy Program achievement is based on student growth and outcomes. The goal is to maintain Tier I students throughout the year as well as increase the number of students in Tiers I and II, while decreasing the Tier III population. Our systems of measurement include: DIBELS Next, MAP, MPG, DRA, Lexia Core 5, and Marie Clay s Observation Survey in conjunction with classroom performance documentation and MCAS results. c. Curriculum and Instruction The Literacy Program utilizes scientifically based reading interventions and techniques that are designed to increase student progress. Literacy providers make purposeful decisions as to which programs and techniques best target student need. They further develop a balanced approach to reading instruction in an effort to close the achievement gap among student grade level peers. Each program and technique targets a specific deficit based on the 5 components of effective reading instruction. The available interventions have been researched and evaluated by the Florida Center for Reading Research out of Florida State University. These programs and techniques are certified by the Literacy Office of the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. Interventions are aligned with Massachusetts Common Core standards and qualify as research-based programs according to the requirements set forth by the National Reading Panel. Literacy providers are required to have a solid understanding of each intervention, and remain current in training. Providers deliver appropriate instruction with fidelity corresponding to student need. Literacy teachers are responsible for the administration and analysis of assessments within each program and technique, and to further extend assessment findings with staff and students alike. 7

Percentage of students k-5 Quincy Public Schools Program Assessment a. Reflection of Goals (2015-2016) Goal 1: During the 2015-16 school year, the will support the district goal of developing proficient students, through the building of foundational skills in grades K - 3 so that students read with sufficient accuracy and fluency to support comprehension. Included in this work will be a targeted focus on grade three intervention, instruction, and progress towards benchmark. This will be evident by a decrease in the number of Tier Three students by 5% at each grade (K-3). 100 75 Dibels 2015-2016 Grade 3 50 Intensive support (Tier 3) Strategic Support (Tier 2) Core support (Tier 1) 25 27% 25% 48% 29% 28% 43% 29% 22% 50% 0 Fall Winter Spring Goal 1 The standard of measure for the successful achievement for Goal 1 is the DIBELS Next assessment. At the Fall benchmarking window 27% of the students in Grade 3 were identified as at serious risk for failure to meet grade level expected scores (Tier 3). Additionally, 48% of the students in Grade 3 were identified as meeting grade level expected scores (Tier 1). The target focus for Goal 1 was Grade 3. Although the Grade 3 Tier 3 population increased by 2%, Tier 1 also increased by 2%, according to spring results. The goal for the 2015-2016 school year was to decrease the number of Tier 3 students (those in need of intensive support) by 5% at each grade based on spring 2016 benchmark data. The number of students, K-3 in Tier 3 decreased by 7% total. More specifically, K remained relatively the same in Tier 3, with a spring showing of 44%. Although, Grade 1 showed a dramatic increase in Tier 1, with 33% in the fall and 51% in the spring. Grade 1 also demonstrated a significant decrease in Tier 3 students, as the spring data revealed an enormous drop from 45% to 22%. The DIBELS data also demonstrated strong growth in Grade 2. The fall of 2015 showed 28% of second graders at Tier 3. The Spring Grade 2 data noted an 8% decrease in Tier 3 students. Grade 2 Tier 1 population made considerable gains as well. The fall data reflected a Tier 1 population of 46%, with a 7% increase of Tier 1 in spring. 9

Although Tier 1 increased by 1%, Tier 2 decreased by 4%, and Tier 3 increased by 2%. The is concerned with the lack of movement from Tier 3 to Tier 1 in grades K and 3, and will make early foundational skill, including phonemic awareness and phonics part of our focus during the 2016-2017 school year. The continues to strive towards reducing the percentage of Tier 3 students and increasing the percentage of students in Tier 1, therefore reducing the achievement gap. The Team continues to provide students throughout the year with a tiered model of instruction, differentiated core instruction (Tier 1) and additional support from interventionists and special educators using research based programs. The continues to recognize the importance of this goal and although we feel we have yet to achieve our target of a 5% decrease in Tier 3 per grade, we will continue to work on a modified version, with a balanced focus in early foundational skill including phonemic awareness and phonics, along with a concentration in comprehension so as to prepare for next generation assessments. Goal 2: During the 2015-2016 school year, the will continue our goal of incorporating the use of technology during literacy intervention sessions by monitoring technology currently in place, tracking student progress through online resources, and the creation and monitoring of a technology and implementation plan. During the 2015-2016 school year, the did greatly increase the use of technology within the literacy intervention design. Throughout the year, each of the 22 Literacy Specialists was given an additional i-pad to use during the literacy intervention block, in an attempt to further differentiate and customize small group instruction based on student need. In addition to apps such as OG cards and wet-dry-try, additional licenses to the following online programs were purchased for any student participating in literacy services: 10
Lexia Core 5: Lexia addresses all strands of reading in grades Pre-K-5 and can be implemented for all instructional tiers. As part of the program, students receive both student-driven and teacher-directed personalized learning through fun and engaging online activities to build foundational reading skills. Based on student progress and success, the program prescribes the instructional intensity needed in order to increase each student s likelihood of reaching end-of-year, grade-level benchmarks. Student reports have now become a part of the overall progress monitoring process. use this data as an indication of day to day progress in an independent setting. Lexia also addresses the development of oral language, reading, spelling and writing skills in learners of all ability levels including students who speak English as a second language. Finally, Lexia allows free access for students at home, as well as during the day. The response to Lexia Core 5 continues to be positive. recognize the importance of an on-line component to literacy intervention, and view this particular program as a valuable resource. Additional Lexia Core 5 licenses have been purchased for Special Education Students, and English Learners, as the program components greatly benefit both sub-groups. Read Naturally Live: Read Naturally Live accelerates reading achievement by combining the researchproven strategies of teacher modeling, repeated reading, and progress monitoring. A student works at his or her own pace in an appropriate level of material. Text and audio guide the student through the steps. The student masters a story by reading along with audio and then practicing the story until he or she can read it fluently and with comprehension. The program automatically tracks student progress. Read Naturally Live has become a staple component of the literacy program in several elementary schools throughout the system. The continues to make great strides in increasing their use of technology. The team has targeted particular programs that correspond to students needs. They invest in a fidelity to the technological aspect of intervention while maintaining a balance with regard to teacher directed, explicit instruction. Literacy Specialists have used the time of this extended goal to further investigate and expand upon the use of each program, by utilizing lesson plans and extended resources linked to online units. Specialists also incorporate student reports when assessing overall student growth. The Literacy Specialists have shared their program findings with fellow colleagues representing the classroom setting, Special Education, and English Learner in the spirit of collaboration. Therefore, The has successfully achieved Goal 2. Goal 3: During the 2015-2016 school year, the will assist in the implementation, proctoring, and analysis of the grade three pilot of the Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) assessment. In the fall of 2015, The participated in MAP site based and online professional development. Specialists utilized the online proctor training and then administered the MAP Reading Comprehension pilot to Grade 3 students. The also assisted math teachers in administering the MAP Math pilot. The then participated in professional development relating to MAP test results and how to gain meaning from yielded data. As December approached, Literacy Specialists reviewed the online proctor training prior to winter administration. The MAP assessment became a component of the winter benchmarking period in both areas of math and reading. Data gained from this online assessment was used in conjunction with the typical standards of measure including DIBELS for ILT purposes. Once again, in April proctors prepared for administration and then facilitated the online assessment. The spring MAP results became an additional data set representing student growth in the area of reading comprehension and math. Goal 3, MAP pilot year, was a success. Literacy familiarized themselves with the proctor process and secured an understanding with regard to MAP reports and data analysis. MAP provided valuable information directly related to student performance in the area of reading comprehension. These findings assisted Literacy and Classroom with lesson planning and classroom instruction. 11
The procedure of the online assessment experience served to prepare students for next generation online assessments. In 2016-2017, Grade Two Students will participate in a primary version of MAP, known as MPG, MAP for Primary Grades. b.

The 2014 2015 district analysis of the fall benchmarking assessment identified 43% of the students in Tier One, with 49% of the students being identified as Tier One in the spring, an increase of 6%. 21% of the students were identified as Tier Two in the fall with an increase to 22% in the spring. 35% of the students scored in Tier Three in the fall. This number decreased significantly to 29% in the spring. In general, results of this data indicate a significant decrease out of Tier Three and conversely significant increases in Tier One students throughout the course of the year. Therefore, the Team feels confident that the current model of literacy intervention is achieving the desired outcome of developing proficient students. The 2015-2016 district analysis of the fall benchmarking assessment identifies 45% of the students in Tier One, with 48% of the students being identified as Tier One in the spring, an increase of 3%. 21% of the students were identified as Tier Two in the fall with an increase to 22% in the spring. 33% of the students scored Tier Three in the fall. This figure dropped to 30% in the spring. Overall, the Tier One population increased, while the Tier Three decreased. This current design for intervention support is successful in producing gains in reading proficiency. Therefore, the will continue to implement the current intervention model. 13
