Strategies

We will use consistent academic vocabulary in instructional routines to increase clarity across grade levels to ensure student success (Teacher Academic Vocabulary)

  NA    

To strengthen comprehension, we will deliberate and explicit vocabulary instruction will be implemented consistently across all grade levels and content areas.

  NA

We will provide explicit phonemic awareness instruction utilizing Heggerty materials K-1, and Wonders materials K-5, to build student confidence with fluency.

  NA

 To develop confident writers, establish a school wide continuum that provides opportunity for every learner to build and develop writing skills essential for success in the next grade level.

NA

Classroom teachers will implement small group work during their reading instruction ensuring their lower achieving students are met with a minimum of two to three times per week.

 

 

 

Supporting Data and Evidence Results

Rational for Scoring strategies

  1.  During walk-throughs and PLC meetings teachers will show confidence in vocabulary and students will demonstrate understanding of vocabulary terms.

  2. Student discussions will be evidence of accurate vocabulary understanding. Students will demonstrate competency through application in their work.

  3. Phonemic Awareness Instruction will be evident in student writing and increases in test scores.

  4. Students will show writing competency by reaching grade level writing expectations based on the writing continuum.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Math Growth Goal

 3-5 will utilize MAP accelerator a minimum of 30 minutes a week.

K-2 will utilize at least 30 additional minutes a week for focused Math instruction.

  NA

MAP growth achievement will be celebrated school wide in Winter and Spring. 

  NA

To ensure all math content areas are covered we will restructure WIN instruction to meet the needs of all learners.

Supporting Data and Evidence Results

Rational for Scoring strategies:

1.   Admin will run a report monthly to see MAP Accelerator usage.  Walkthroughs on K-2 during Friday Math WIN to ensure focused math instruction is taking place

2.   Utilize Pathways of Progress in Acadience to determine if students met projected growth goals.  Utilize the Projected Growth Summary in MAP  to determine if students met projected growth goals.

3.   A team will be created to establish a new WIN continuum to ensure all to ensure all essential standards are addressed.

 

Non-Academic Growth Goal

Student attendance will increase by 2% while major behavioral referral decreases by 2% a year over the next five years as measured by the student attendance rate and referral data.

Strategies

Monthly celebration for students with no major or minor behaviors along with monthly Student of the Month assemblies focusing on the character pillars. 

Reset each month to provide students an opportunity to utilize skills taught in Behavior Reset, intentional behavior instructional K-2, 3-5.

  NA

Utilize station rotation for common areas to provide consistency for student success. Reteach rotations following long breaks including Winter and Spring break.

  NA

Provide intentional instruction of expectations to part time and new staff members regarding behavior expectations, reporting procedures and Wilson cultural norms.

  NA

Tier One behavior meetings will focus on strategies for student success and proactive procedures for problem behaviors.

NA

Weekly and monthly attendance challenges for classrooms to compete for the best attendance, fewest tardies, etc…

 

Supporting Data and Evidence Results

Rational for Scoring strategies:

Strategies will be deemed successful with a decrease in behavior referrals and an increase in positive school-wide culture.

Monthly behavior reports will run by dean to determine areas of support needed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Student Survey Action Item

 The two areas that we scored the lowest on the Student Survey were:

I feel safe on the bus. Score 3.25

I feel students are nice or show respect to each other at my school. Score 3.2

We will continue to search for someone to be a bus monitor after school along with the strategies listed above for our behavior goal.

 

Parent Survey Action Item

The two areas that we scored the lowest on the Parent Survey were:

 I receive positive phone calls, emails, or notes about my child from school.

I receive feedback from school staff on how well my child is learning.

To increase our positive contacts with families about their child/ren, we will do a three positive contacts per week either through positive phone calls, emails, Class Dojo messages, postcard home or face to face conversation.  

We will meet in the fall to determine our protocol for getting feedback to families on how well their child is learning.  I will update the Action Item after we make a determination.
