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.

Falcon Cove Middle School utilizes a multi-tiered system of supports (MTSS) and Response to Intervention (RtI) process to identify and provide targeted support to students demonstrating Early Warning Indicators. Student data, including attendance, behavior, course performance, statewide assessment results, and other progress-monitoring data, are reviewed regularly to identify students who may be at risk for academic failure or retention.

Students identified through the Early Warning System receive interventions based on their individual needs. Academic interventions include targeted small-group instruction, differentiated instruction, progress monitoring, remediation, tutoring, course recovery opportunities, and supplemental support in reading and mathematics. Students performing at Level 1 on statewide ELA and/or Mathematics assessments are closely monitored and provided additional instructional support aligned to identified areas of need.

Attendance concerns are addressed through ongoing monitoring, parent/guardian communication, student conferences, counseling support, and referrals to appropriate school and district resources when necessary. Students demonstrating behavioral concerns or repeated disciplinary incidents receive interventions that may include counseling, mentoring, behavior plans, restorative practices, positive behavioral supports, and parent/guardian conferences.

Students demonstrating two or more Early Warning Indicators receive increased monitoring and are reviewed by the school’s collaborative problem-solving/MTSS team to determine appropriate interventions and additional supports. Teachers, counselors, administrators, support staff, students, and families work collaboratively to monitor student progress and adjust interventions based on student response and data. The goal is to provide timely, evidence-based interventions that improve academic achievement, attendance, behavior, and overall student success.

Area of Focus: Social Studies

Measurable Outcome (SMART Goal) Professional Development Budget Monitoring Results
(End of Year)
The percentage of students in grades 6-8 scoring proficient or higher in Social Studies will increase from 91% to 92% by May 2027, as measured by the district Social Studies End-of- Course Assessment and quarterly benchmark assessments. The Social Studies Department Chair and administration team will provide professional development for Social Studies teachers focused on analyzing student achievement and progress-monitoring data to inform instruction and intervention. Professional learning will support the effective implementation of district Social Studies curriculum resources, DBQs, primary and secondary source analysis, and document-based writing strategies to strengthen historical thinking and accelerate student growth. Teachers will receive training on integrating literacy strategies across Social Studies instruction, including close reading, vocabulary development, text-dependent questioning, and evidence-based writing. Professional development will also support the use of digital instructional tools and data-driven practices to increase student engagement, content mastery, and proficiency on district and state assessments. Social Studies teachers, Department Chair, and administration will use district benchmark assessment data, common formative assessments, DBQ and writing rubric data, FAST Reading data, and digital curriculum platform reports to monitor student progress on Social Studies standards and literacy skills embedded within Social Studies instruction. Teachers will analyze student performance data to identify areas requiring remediation, enrichment, and targeted intervention. Ongoing data reviews will support instructional adjustments, implementation of evidence-based literacy strategies, and increased proficiency in historical thinking, content mastery, and document-based writing.

Evidence-based Interventions/Strategies

Evidence-based Intervention/Strategy 1 Teachers will implement standard aligned learning goals and proficiency scales to ensure students clearly understand grade-level expectations. Teachers will utilize disciplinary literacy strategies including close reading, annotation, claim-evidence-reasoning (CER), vocabulary development, and text-dependent questioning to increase comprehension of complex historical and civic texts. ·Students will engage in document-based instruction through the analysis of primary and secondary sources, maps, charts, political cartoons, graphs, and other historical artifacts. Teachers will incorporate collaborative learning structures such as discussion protocols, structured academic controversy, and evidence-based classroom discourse to strengthen critical thinking and civic reasoning. Instruction will include frequent opportunities for students to demonstrate understanding through performance-based tasks, concept maps, graphic organizers, presentations, and written responses
Person(s) Responsible Social Studies Teachers
Deadline 5/31/2027
Evidence-based Intervention/Strategy 2 Students not demonstrating proficiency will participate in targeted small-group instruction focused on priority benchmarks and historically underperforming standards. Teachers will provide scaffolded supports including guided notes, vocabulary organizers, chunked texts, and structured writing opportunities. Frequent formative checks for understanding will be utilized to provide immediate feedback and reteach misconceptions before assessment administration.
Person(s) Responsible Social Studies Teachers
Deadline 5/31/2027
Evidence-based Intervention/Strategy 3 Students exceeding proficiency expectations will engage in inquiry-based learning, civic action projects, debates, simulations, and advanced document analysis. Teachers will provide opportunities for students to investigate authentic historical and contemporary issues through research and project-based learning activities.
