High Quality Instruction

Early Warning Indicators

Using the data below, describe all intervention strategies employed by the school to improve the academic performance of students identified by the early warning system.

Students with an Attendance Rate Below 90%: 
Students with an attendance rate lower than 90% are referred to the Attendance Team. The students and their parents must meet with the behavior specialist and grade-level administrator to establish an attendance contract. Monthly check-ins with the attendance team are scheduled to track progress. Students who improve their attendance earn SEAT POWER points, which can be redeemed for participation in monthly positive behavior reward events. Those whose attendance continues to decline are referred to the social worker and the state truancy office, with the possibility of losing driving privileges.

Students with One or More Suspensions:
Students with one or more suspensions are referred to the Response to Intervention (RTI) team for ongoing monitoring and support. They are placed on a Tier 2 behavior plan, which includes a Check-In/Check-Out (CICO) process with their study hall teacher every other day. This process tracks attendance, grades, behavior, and extracurricular participation. For completing the CICO procedure every two weeks, students earn POWER points, which can be used to attend monthly positive behavior reward events.

Students with Course Failure in ELA or Math:  
Students who fail an ELA or Math course are allowed to retake the class. They may either be placed in the same course with a different instructor or enrolled in a research class, where they receive guidance and time to complete the course through Broward Virtual School or Florida Virtual School. There are also several additional credit recovery opportunities on campus, including Edmentum through YMCA and Twilight through Broward County Public Schools Community School.

Students Scoring Level 1 in ELA:
9th and 10th-grade students who score Level 1 in ELA are placed in a reading intervention course, as the Broward K-12 Reading Plan outlines. 11th and 12th-grade students who scored Level 1 on the 10th-grade ELA Florida Assessment of Student Thinking (FAST) and have not earned a concordant score on the SAT or ACT are placed in either an Intensive Reading course (11th grade) or an English for College Prep course (12th grade).

Students Exhibiting Two or More Early Warning Indicators:  
Grade-level administrators identify students showing two or more early warning indicators. These students and their guidance counselors meet with administrators to develop a Student Success Plan (SSP). Students may be assigned to mentoring programs as part of their plan.

Students Retained Two or More Times: 
Students who are retained two or more times are automatically referred to the RTI team. The RTI team reviews the student's academic and assessment records and conducts periodic meetings to monitor progress and provide educational interventions when necessary.

Areas of Focus (Formerly Goals, Strategies and Activities)

Area of Focus: ELA/Reading (Instructional Practice)

Measurable Outcome (SMART Goal) Professional Development Budget Monitoring Results
(End of Year)
By June 2026, reading proficiency will increase from 44% to 54% , as measured by the FAST PM3. Teachers will receive ongoing professional development to enhance their ability to teach reading strategies effectively, including differentiation techniques to support diverse learners on Professional Study Days. We also aim to promote ongoing teacher collaboration through Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) focused on literacy instruction. We will regularly analyze assessment data to monitor progress and identify areas for improvement through Common Formative Assessments and Reading Inventories in ELA and Reading, as well as student performance on FAST PM1 and PM2 in preparation for PM3. Additionally, feedback from students, teachers, and parents will be gathered to assess the effectiveness of the implemented strategies. Based on this data and feedback, we will make necessary adjustments to the literacy program to enhance student outcomes continually.

Evidence-based Interventions/Strategies

Evidence-based Intervention/Strategy 1 Stamina Day is an integral part of Hallandale Magnet High School's school-wide literacy initiative, designed to enhance students' reading stamina, fluency, and comprehension across all content areas. On Stamina Day, students engage in close readings of carefully selected texts that align with their specific content area studies. This focused reading practice allows students to analyze and delve deeply into the material, improving their ability to process complex information. By participating in these structured reading sessions, students not only gain a deeper understanding of the content but also build the necessary skills to excel in state assessments and end-of-course exams. Stamina Day aims to empower students with the literacy tools they need to succeed academically, fostering a culture of reading excellence throughout the school.
Person(s) Responsible Mrs. Paula Peters, Principal – Oversees overall SIP implementation and ensures alignment with schoolwide instructional goals.; Mrs. Sonja Sherman, Assistant Principal (ELA & Reading) – Coordinates data chats, PLCs, and intervention tracking; supports ELA teachers with instructional planning. ; Mr. Brandon Forbes & Mrs. Charlotte Jackson, SAC Co-Chairpersons – Facilitate communication of SIP progress with stakeholders and assist with monitoring literacy initiatives through SAC meetings.; Mr. Brandon Forbes, ELA Department Chair, Ms. Barbara Harris, Literacy Coach, & Literacy Team – Provide professional development, monitor classroom implementation of reading strategies, and support progress monitoring of targeted students. • Grade 9 and 10 ELA Teachers – Implement instructional strategies, analyze student data, and collaborate in PLCs to adjust instruction based on student performance.
Deadline 6/1/2026
Evidence-based Intervention/Strategy 3 At Hallandale Magnet High School, students who scored at Level 2 or are near proficiency on the FAST PM3 assessment will participate in targeted Student Pull-outs designed to help them reach proficiency. These pull-outs are part of our commitment to providing personalized support to students who need focused intervention to bridge the gap to proficiency. The Reading Department teachers will lead these pull-out sessions in small groups, allowing for more individualized attention and instruction. Each session will be tailored to address the specific areas where students need improvement, such as reading comprehension, vocabulary development, or fluency. By focusing on each student's specific challenges, the pull-outs aim to provide the targeted support necessary to enhance their reading skills and ensure their success on future assessments.

Mid-Year Reflection

Progress: Is desired progress being made to accomplish the intended outcome for the Area of Focus by the end of the school year? Yes
Evidence: Provide evidence of the implementation challenges the school encountered during the Fall semester. Describe the changes made to address these challenges.
Yes, measurable progress is being made, though continued acceleration is needed to meet end-of-year proficiency goals. FAST ELA data shows an increase in proficiency from 25% on PM1 to 31% on PM2, representing a 6-percentage-point gain during the Fall semester. Additionally, recent district-aligned assessments (Common Formative Assessment/Midterm Exam and Unit Test) show consistent proficiency levels of approximately 32%, indicating alignment between classroom instruction and standardized assessment expectations. While gains are incremental, the consistency across assessment measures suggests that instructional strategies are positively impacting student performance and are beginning to translate into assessment outcomes.

Several implementation challenges were encountered during the Fall semester:
  • Student reading stamina and engagement with complex, grade-level texts remained inconsistent, particularly during extended reading and assessment tasks.

  • Vocabulary deficits, especially academic and content-specific language, limited students’ ability to fully comprehend and analyze texts.

Initial variability in instructional pacing and strategy implementation across classrooms impacted consistency.

​To address these challenges, the school made targeted adjustments:

  • Stamina Days were implemented schoolwide with fidelity to intentionally build students’ capacity to sustain focused reading over extended periods.

  • A structured Word of the Day initiative, emphasizing word parts and morphology, was embedded into daily instruction to strengthen vocabulary acquisition and transfer.

  • These adjustments directly align with the instructional focus and continuous monitoring outlined in the Area of Focus

  • Ongoing PLC discussions and data reviews were used to recalibrate pacing, align instruction, and reinforce consistent use of literacy strategies across classrooms.

Evidence-based Interventions/Strategies: What was each Intervention/Strategy’s identified strengths and weaknesses?

Identified strengths and weaknesses

Strengths

  • Stamina Days have increased student exposure to complex texts and improved endurance during longer reading tasks and assessments.

  • Word-of-the-Day (morphology-focused) instruction has strengthened students’ ability to decode unfamiliar words and recognize academic language patterns across content areas.

  • Assessment data (FAST PM2, Midterm CFA, Unit Tests) show consistent performance trends, suggesting improved instructional alignment.

Weaknesses

  • Gains in proficiency, while positive, remain below desired benchmarks, indicating the need for intensified support.

  • Some students continue to struggle to apply skills independently, particularly under timed or high-stakes conditions.

  • Intervention effectiveness varies across subgroups, indicating the need for more targeted differentiation.

New Actions: Describe any new actions that are needed to accomplish the intended outcome for the Area of Focus.

Additional actions needed to accomplish the intended outcome

To accelerate progress during the Spring semester, the following actions will be implemented:

  • Expand targeted small-group interventions and pull-out supports for students performing below proficiency.

  • Increase emphasis on explicit test-aligned reading and writing practice, including timed analytical responses.

  • Strengthen progress monitoring through more frequent Common Formative Assessments and targeted data chats.

  • Continue refining instructional practices through PLCs to ensure consistent implementation of literacy strategies across classrooms.

Additional Reflections (optional): Please add any additional reflections for this Area of Focus.
The Fall semester data reflect that instructional shifts are beginning to yield results, particularly in reading stamina and vocabulary development. While proficiency levels remain a concern, the alignment between classroom assessments and FAST data provides confidence that the strategies outlined in the Area of Focus are appropriate and effective when implemented with fidelity. Continued focus on differentiation, targeted intervention, and sustained literacy practices will be essential to achieving stronger outcomes by the end of the school year.
