School Plan 2017-2018

Goal #1

Goal

Quality Tier II instruction in Math and Reading that will ensure that targeted students are making at least a full years growth as demonstrated by district benchmark and SAGE scores in Math and Fountis and Pinnell reading levels and SAGE scores in Reading. Goal achievement will be determined at the end of the academic year.

Academic Areas

  • Reading
  • Mathematics

Measurements

Reading progress will be measured by Fountis and Pinnell inventories. The average increase of reading levels will be 4 for each student in the school K-6. Math progress will be monitored by district benchmark assessments where we expect to see each grade level average at 80% or higher on all assessments. We will also look to the SAGE math assessments where we expect to see the school average of percent proficient at 70% or higher. The state average is 48%.

Action Plan Steps

We will hire instructional assistants that are trained in math and reading intervention strategies. The aids will work with targeted students at all grade levels on a daily basis M-Th. We will also pay 20% of the salary for a music teacher who reinforces math and reading content through music.
