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 identified through the Early Warning System receive layered interventions designed to address their academic, behavioral, and attendance needs. Academically, students participate in small-group instruction and receive targeted Tier 2 or Tier 3 support, with progress monitoring every few weeks to guide adjustments. To accelerate growth, specialized support from ESE staff is provided to students identified with the EWS. To support behavior and engagement, Tequesta implements mentoring through trusted adults and Tequesta's "Who's Your One? campaign, restorative practices, and positive reinforcement initiatives such as Cougar Bucks. Attendance concerns are addressed through parent communication, student contracts, incentive programs, and collaboration with social workers to reduce chronic absenteeism. In addition, students may receive counseling, social-emotional learning supports, and referrals to CPST or community resources when needed. Together, these interventions create a comprehensive system of support that ensures students identified by the EWS have equitable opportunities to succeed. |

| By May 2026, the percentage of students scoring proficient on the Physical Science FSA will increase from 67% to 69%, as measured by the Physical Science FSA results. | Targeted Interventions, Spiral Review Strategies | To support progress toward the physical science proficiency goal, monitoring will include regular lesson plan reviews to ensure alignment with tested benchmarks and the inclusion of strategies. Walkthroughs will be used to observe the use of concept maps, inquiry-based labs, and EOC-style questioning. Student progress will be tracked through formative assessments, exit tickets, and benchmark data. Performance of students near proficiency will be closely monitored to guide targeted interventions and small group support. Engagement with virtual labs and digital platforms will also be reviewed using completion reports and analytics. This ongoing monitoring will ensure instructional fidelity and timely support, keeping instruction focused on improving student outcomes by May 2026. | By May 2026, the percentage of students scoring proficient on the Physical Science FSA will increase from 67% to 69%, as measured by the Physical Science FSA results. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

| By May 2026, the percentage of students scoring proficient on the Civics End-of-Course (EOC) exam will increase from 86% to 88%, as measured by the EOC assessment. | Primary Sources, Question Deconstruction | To support progress toward the Civics EOC proficiency goal, monitoring will focus on the consistent implementation of high-impact instructional strategies. This includes the regular review of lesson plans and student work samples to ensure that spiraled content review is embedded into instruction. Informal walkthroughs will also be conducted to spot-check the use of bellringers and verify alignment with tested benchmarks. . Lesson plans will be monitored to confirm the integration of source-based tasks that reflect the rigor and format of EOC assessments. Additionally, monitoring will include reviewing student responses on EOC-style practice questions to assess the use of test-taking strategies, such as question deconstruction and evidence-based reasoning. Classrooms will also be observed for the presence and use of anchor charts that support vocabulary development and strategic thinking. This layered approach to monitoring will ensure instructional fidelity, promote timely feedback, and drive adjustments that keep instruction aligned to the goal of increasing proficiency on the Civics EOC. | The percentage of students scoring proficient on the Civics End-of-Course (EOC) exam will increase from 86% to 88%, as measured by the EOC assessment. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

| By the end of the 2025-2026 school year, overall, ELA learning gains will increase from 66% to 70%, and learning gains for students in the lowest quartile will increase from 61% to 65%, as measured by PM 3. | Targeted Vocabulary Instruction, Data Chats | To ensure progress toward the ELA goal of increasing overall learning gains from 66% to 70% and gains for students in the lowest quartile from 61% to 65% by the end of the 2025–2026 school year, a comprehensive monitoring process will be implemented. This process will include ongoing reviews of lesson plans to verify alignment with the B.E.S.T. standards and the incorporation of evidence-based practices such as explicit instruction in reading comprehension, vocabulary development, and writing across genres. Walkthroughs will be conducted using instructional look-for tools that focus on key literacy components, including text-dependent questioning, student discourse, and scaffolding for struggling readers. Progress monitoring data from FAST PM assessments, and formative classroom assessments will be reviewed regularly to track student performance and identify areas for targeted intervention. Special attention will be given to students in the lowest quartile, with data chats and small group instructional adjustments scheduled to ensure their needs are met with increased intensity and support. Monitoring will also include the collection and analysis of student work samples, writing portfolios, and fluency checks to assess progress and guide reteaching efforts. PLCs will play a central role in reviewing data, refining instructional strategies, and ensuring consistent implementation of interventions schoolwide. | ELA learning gains will increase from 66% to 70%, and learning gains for students in the lowest quartile will increase from 61% to 65% | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
