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.

% of students level 1 in ELA or Math  
Students who earned a level 1 on last year's FAST ELA PM3 are enrolled in an Intensive Reading course (TIER 2/TIER 3) Intensive Reading course placement is determined by utilizing the 2025-2026 Broward Secondary Intensive Reading Decision Chart for grades 6-12.  The NWEA Map Growth Assessment and FAST ELA data are used to determine if a reading placement is needed. Intensive Reading placement is also determined by looking at other contextual factors to help understand the reading needs of the students and match them with the appropriate level of instruction and intervention. 
The Intensive Reading course is for students with deficits in either decoding or linguistic comprehension, students proficient in these areas, but do not yet have a level 3 or higher on FAST receive differentiation and support through their Tier 1 ELA class
Students in need of phonics instruction/decoding instruction as indicated by The Code Placement Test, have a score below the 30th percentile on the NWEA Map (RIT score), and a level 1 will be placed in a TIER 3 Intensive Reading intervention and will work in READ 180's The Code. 
Students who test out of the phonics portion of The Code placement test but have a score below the 30th percentile on the NWEA Map (RIT score), and a level 1 will be placed in a TIER 2 Intensive Reading intervention and will work in READ 180 Comprehension.

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? No
Evidence: Provide evidence of the implementation challenges the school encountered during the Fall semester. Describe the changes made to address these challenges.
In Science, we had new textbooks to use. Teachers had to learn the new resources that were available to them through their PLC and county trainings. 
Evidence-based Interventions/Strategies: What was each Intervention/Strategy’s identified strengths and weaknesses?
Strengths  were when the resources worked, they were very beneficial to the class. It took a few weeks to get all the resources working which was a weakness. Another weakness was that not all resources have yet to arrive at the school. 
New Actions: Describe any new actions that are needed to accomplish the intended outcome for the Area of Focus.
We have contacted the county on multiple occasions about the resources. Some of the issues have been resolved, but we are still missing hard copies of the resources. 

Area of Focus: ELA/ Reading

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 reading comprehension will increase from 82% to 85% by the end of May 2026 as measured by FAST ELA PM3. The Literacy Coach will offer professional development for literacy teachers (ELA teachers and Intensive Reading teachers) on in-program literacy curriculum resources, BEST ELA strategies, and writing instruction. PLCs and other professional development sessions will concentrate on using resources like i-Ready, Newsela, HMH Ed, and Writable to differentiate, remediate, and enrich literacy instruction. Additionally, the Literacy Coach will collaborate with the Social Studies Department Chair to integrate text-based writing prompts into Social Studies classes, facilitating cross-curricular connections and providing writing practice. n/a ELA teachers and the Literacy Coach will use i-Ready, HMH ED data, Writable, and FAST ELA progress monitoring data to track student progress on ELA standards and identify intervention needs. Meanwhile, Intensive Reading teachers and the Literacy Coach will use the NWEA MAP Growth assessment and READ 180/The Code in-program data to monitor student progress and provide necessary remediation.

Evidence-based Interventions/Strategies

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? No
Evidence: Provide evidence of the implementation challenges the school encountered during the Fall semester. Describe the changes made to address these challenges.
One implementation challenge during the fall semester was a staffing transition in 8th grade ELA. A teacher left during the first semester, requiring a period of instruction led by a substitute before a new, first-year teacher assumed the position. To support continuity of instruction, the Literacy Coach has worked closely with the new teacher, and the 8th grade ELA cadre has collaborated in PLCs to share best practices and instructional strategies. An additional challenge is the loss of funding for the ELL Language Enrichment Camp (LEC), which had previously provided targeted support for our English Language Learners. While LEC will not be offered this year, the PTA provided funding for an after-school FAST Reading Camp. ELL students have been invited to participate in this program; however, it does not fully replace the specialized support previously offered through LEC.
Evidence-based Interventions/Strategies: What was each Intervention/Strategy’s identified strengths and weaknesses?
Strengths of the Tier 2 and Tier 3 reading intervention courses include teachers’ consistent implementation of the READ 180 curriculum and The Code curriculum. In addition, ELA teachers are utilizing the HMH Ed Level-Up tutorial supports available in the HMH Ed portal to provide targeted, differentiated instruction. The DLA classroom is using the Saavas iLitELL and Imagine Learning with fidelity.  Intensive Reading teachers are monitoring student data by inputting data into each student's progress monitoring plan (PMP) in Focus. 
New Actions: Describe any new actions that are needed to accomplish the intended outcome for the Area of Focus.
New actions needed to address our area of focus include continuing to closely monitor student progress in reading classrooms. The CPST will review data and conduct Tier Review meetings for each student to evaluate progress and determine whether additional interventions are needed.  ELA and Intensive Reading teachers will be addressing areas of need based on PM2 data with students in the classroom.
