Measurement
Interim progress toward our goals will be measured by Districtwide Standards Based Assessments, Reading Inventory, Acadience Benchmarks and Progress Monitoring, Student Risk Surveys, and anecdotal data from August 2020-May 2021. In spring 2021, final data will be measured using Acadience Pathways of Progress and RISE data.
The resource teacher and school psychologist will meet with all teachers within the first two weeks of school to inform a student’s new teacher of Individualized Education Program (IEP) goals and service pattern. Closer coordination between resource teacher and classroom teacher on goals, instruction, and progress was begun this year and will be continued next year. The resource teacher will provide additional training and coordination with general education teachers to increase progress of students with disabilities. Co-teaching will be continued in some grades. Individual data will be tracked on differentiated levels.
All teachers have been trained in structured classroom discussions, and a gradual implementation process was completed. In 2020-21, all teachers will use structured classroom discussions to support English learners in making progress. Data will also be analyzed to monitor English learner progress. A teacher stipend and substitute days will also be provided to a teacher with extensive ELL strategy implementation, to review our current delivery model, recommend improvements and train teachers.
Progress monitoring data and benchmark data will be shared with stakeholders via the school website/newsletters and at faculty/SCC/BLT/PLC meetings. Communications are scheduled in conjunction with district benchmark dates.
