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.

Step1: Teachers will review data. For students who are struggling, the teacher inputs Tier 1 strategies on FOCUS as part of the PMP process. The teacher then meets with a school case manager to discuss the area of concern. The student's parents are informed about the area of concern.
Step 2: After 4-6 weeks of interventions, if progress is not noted, a meeting will be scheduled with the case manager to discuss implementation of the Tier 2 instruction. The teacher will continue to collect data and graph the student's progress in comparison to the small group.
Step 3: A meeting will be scheduled with the Multi-Tiered Support System (MTSS) Team to review the data and collaborate on the next steps. Members of the team consists of: an administrator, the school counselor, the ESE Specialist, the school psychologist, the school social worker, the literacy coach, and the classroom teacher. Parents will be invited to the meeting. 
Step 4: If no progress is noted, the student moves to more intensive intervention in Tier 3 instruction. A follow up date is then set for the next 4-6 weeks to monitor the student's progress.

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.
Primary grades did not have a dedicated intervention program to use for intervention to increase the proficieny of our students. 
We purchased UFLI program for 1st grade. Teachers were not trained so we were able to get teachers trained.
Heggerty was used for K teachers, but we had 2 new teachers to the grade level that had to be trained before starting the program.
Second grade received a phonics supplemental program from i-Ready this year and all the teachers needed to be trained.
Evidence-based Interventions/Strategies: What was each Intervention/Strategy’s identified strengths and weaknesses?
Heggerty - K teachers
UFLI - First Grade Teachers
Benchmark, I-ready Magnetic - 2nd grade
Weakness - at the beginning of the year programs were new and training was needed in the programs.
Strength - Teachers have picked up on the programs and are starting to see the benefits of the programs and students are progressing.
New Actions: Describe any new actions that are needed to accomplish the intended outcome for the Area of Focus.
Continue to monitor student growth through assessment data and classroom walkthroughs. Continue data chats with teachers to discuss growth and conduct MTSS meetings to discuss students' specific needs of those with PMPs in the RtI process.

Area of Focus: Math Lowest Quartile Learning Gains

Measurable Outcome (SMART Goal) Professional Development Budget Monitoring Results
(End of Year)
By May 2026, the lowest quartile in math will increase performance from 62% to 65% as measured by the PM3 assessment data. Monitor the threshold levels from the Savvas Topic assessments and track those students consistently below the threshold. Monitor i-Ready Diagnostic and growth monitoring for identified students.

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.
Some of the challenges this year was making sure that students were completing the number of mins. and lessons passed in I-ready.  We addressed this challenge by putting in place monthly incentives for students.  Pulling and sharing with teachers and discussed expectations.
Teachers did not have a designated intervention block in their daily schedule.  As a team we met and created more specific daily schedules with small group built into the daily schedule.
Evidence-based Interventions/Strategies: What was each Intervention/Strategy’s identified strengths and weaknesses?
Reflex Math - provided to increase math fact fluency.
I-ready Math instructional pathways allow students to move from their point of knowledge forward in an effort to close any gaps.
Small groups based on the data from the spreadsheets that are created and reteaching based on the standards as determined by the assessments and data.
Strengths - The students willingness to work and their motivation to do well.  An incentive program was created to keep students working and reaching goals.
Weaknesses - The teachers' ability to use the intervention programs that have been provided. Modeling and professional learning provided. Continuous monitoring of their use to ensure consistency. 
Aligning the goals of ESE students. Allowing for push-in when available to ensure support of their needs.
New Actions: Describe any new actions that are needed to accomplish the intended outcome for the Area of Focus.
Data spreadsheets identifying those students in the lowest quartile and sharing with teachers and support staff. This way we can continue to monitor the growth of students based on i-ready diagnostics and PM assessments as well as Topic assessments. Continue to update and track students after each assessment and provide feedback and remediation based on the data by standards.
Monitor the teachers during their whole group and small group times to ensure schedules are followed.
Continue to make ESE goals aligned with data and needs of the students so growth can occur.

Area of Focus: ELA 3-5 Learning Gains

Measurable Outcome (SMART Goal) Professional Development Budget Monitoring Results

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.
Meeting the needs of each student based on data and assessments.
Needed to use the decision tree diagnostics on the ELD Canvas Course on each student. Finding the time to assess and then place students into groups to meet their needs.
Getting each grade level on the same page with the interventions and using the intervention block (walk to read model) to address the various needs in the classes as well as keep within the daily intervention block. 
Evidence-based Interventions/Strategies: What was each Intervention/Strategy’s identified strengths and weaknesses?
I-ready Magnetic Reading and Toolbox
Strength - Allows for keeping spreadsheets of students' growth and monitoring the data from various assessments. This helps to ensure that the data is valid. Allows for the ability to compare the PM assessments and i-Ready diagnostics and predictions for student performance on PM3.  Ability to create pullout groups with the Literacy Coach and Specials Teacher (media) to support students' specific area of need.
Weakness - Finding the time and the people (to keep instructional time lost due to assessments to a minimum) to administer the assessments and support students' needs. Additionally, lost instructional time due to school events during the day.
 
New Actions: Describe any new actions that are needed to accomplish the intended outcome for the Area of Focus.
Got ESE pull out to align with the needs of the students. Changed schedules to better support the students in the classroom and align the work they do in pull out to mirror the work being done in the classroom.
Utilizing the Literacy Coach to pull small groups and do push-in to model for teachers.
Also, ESE support push-in when possible to support teachers and ESE students in the classroom.
