Comparison to similar schools

• How does your school compare to Lincoln and Smithfield in ELA, Math, and Science (send me data and we will create the chart for you if you like)

Comparison to school in District and the State

What is working? • PBIS• Thinking Maps K-5• Fidelity and consistency with curriculum

among classrooms and schools. • Teachers becoming experts in specific subjects

What is not working at Ashton?

• ELL students not getting hours they need by law. Our ELL population has steadily increased. Last year, Ashton had 4% of students receiving ELL support. This year the number has doubled.

What is not working at Ashton?

• Insufficient number of Special Educators and Paraprofessionals

• Teachers’ common planning time is not sufficient

• SRSD currently limited to grade 5• Insufficient substitute teachers

What do we need to succeed?• 1.0 ELL teacher • Implementation of SRSD school-wide (K-5)• Common planning time for the elementary

teachers to collaborate • Additional Special Education teacher or

Paraprofessional• Substitute teachers available when teachers

are absent• Technology to support blended learning

What is needed at the district level?

• Elementary schools need a technology plan & professional development in Google Classrooms as well as educational apps for blended learning and differentiation.

• Response to Intervention is not consistent between schools- need a district RTI coordinator with the expertise to guide this work

Thank you!
