• SGP compares a student's growth to that of his or her academic peers nationwide.
• These peers are students in the same grade with a similar achievement history on Star assessments.
• A median SGP of 52 means that half of our students had a growth rate at or above the 52nd percentile and half had a growth rate below the 52nd percentile.

• SWPBIS is an evidence‐based, multi‐tiered system for shaping and managing student behavior.
• The TFI measures our level of SWPBIS according to key indicators.
• The TFI is conducted by an outside evaluator.
KeyStrategiesforSuccess
14
Equity and Inclusion School Leadership Team: This team focuses on creating an equitable and inclusive school to eliminate achievement and opportunity gaps. Capacity for racial equity transformation will be developed while identifying barriers to racial equity and excellence.
School‐Wide Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports: We will strengthen and sustain our implementation of the “Tier 1” framework across all school settings in accordance with the six key components of PBIS using the School‐Wide Evaluation Tool and Tiered‐Fidelity Inventory to measure success.
Multi‐Tiered System of Support: “Tier 2” systems of support will be strengthened with a focus on screening, request for assistance, options for interventions, practices matched to student need, professional development, and use of student performance data. Inclusive interventions and supports will be prioritized for academic and behavioral/social‐emotional needs.
Culturally‐Responsive Teaching: All students enrolled in 8th Grade Honors Social Studies will participate in a newly‐designed course based on CRT principles. Math teachers are collaborating with coaches from UW to deepen their practice of the three major components of Complex Instruction. The “Cultures of Thinking” project focuses teachers’ attention on cultural forces shaping the classroom culture.
Inclusive Practices (Co‐Teaching): Our approach to co‐teaching is expanding through three additional co‐taught classes to provide greater access for students receiving special education services and for English Language Learners. Flexible scheduling provides more opportunity for “push‐in” support.
SIPReflections
15
Academic Success
• Strategies for improving academic success have demonstrated some exciting bright‐spots but outcomes have been inconsistent and not adequate to eliminate gaps (even when high growth is occurring)
• Need greater strategic focus on math to eliminate gaps
Equity and Inclusion
• Equity and Inclusion Team Development: focus on team “Readiness” and “Foundation” through partnership with SWIFT
• Identify and align key actions with PEG’s “Four Pillars” (Leadership, Students at the Center, Culturally‐Relevant Teaching, Family Empowerment)
Sense of Belonging
• Improving sense of belonging remains a challenge given the range of needs, interests, experiences, and backgrounds of our students
• Implementing a new approach to SEL next year poses a great opportunity to strengthen our students’ sense of belonging
• Students receiving special education services and English Language Learners have most “favorable” responses for “Sense of Belonging”
SIPReflections
16
Academic Success
• Strategies for improving academic success have demonstrated some exciting bright‐spots but outcomes have been inconsistent and not adequate to eliminate gaps (even when high growth is occurring)
• Need greater strategic focus on math to eliminate gaps
Not closing achievement gap…• Smaller class sizes
• Instructional assistants in the classroom
• Blended Learning (with emphasis on use of technology to focus on procedural knowledge & skill‐building)
SIPReflections
17
Academic Success
• Strategies for improving academic success have demonstrated some exciting bright‐spots but outcomes have been inconsistent and not adequate to eliminate gaps (even when high growth is occurring)
• Need greater strategic focus on math to eliminate gaps.
So we are…• Focusing on “complex instruction” (discourse patterns, conceptual
understanding, differentiation, & problem‐solving)
• Focusing on “mathematical mindsets”:• Everyone can learn math to the highest levels.• Mistakes are valuable. • Questions are really important.• Math is about creativity and making sense.• Math is about making connections and communicating about models.• Depth is more important than speed.• Math is about learning—not performing.
18
Equity and excellence for academic success: eliminating achievement gaps
• Even with evidence of growth, need to accelerate learning to eliminate gaps.
• Need examples of middle schools with diverse populations and highly‐effective MTSS, differentiation, and inclusive practices
• Need to use summative assessments (e.g. SBA) to inform our instructional practices
PBIS: sustaining high‐quality implementation
• Need funding to maintain PBIS interventionist position
Students’ Sense of Belonging
• Need to increase SEL focus, including implementation of new curricular materials
• Need to enhance structures, routines, and practices to build community
Challenges&Needs
Glossary• 504 Status: 504 plans describe accommodations for students who have disabilities but do not
require specialized instruction or services.
• ELA: English Language Arts (reading, writing, speaking, and listening).
• ELL: English Language Learners (students who are in the process of learning English).
• IEP: the Individualized Education Plans that students with disabilities are required by law to have.
• MTSS:Multi‐Tiered Systems of Supports for academics and behavior, including: a strong foundation for all students; targeted supports for some students who need them; and intensive supports for a small number of students who require them.
• Panorama student survey: A school climate survey given to students in grades 3‐12.
• PBIS: Positive Behavioral Interventions & Supports, an approach to behavior management that emphasizes positive reinforcement and prevention rather than punishment.
• SBA: Smarter Balanced Assessments, which are mandatory State exams given in grades 3‐8 and 10 in English Language Arts and Math.
• SIP: School Improvement Plans.
• STAR: A national standardized assessment that the district gives fall and spring in grades 2‐8 in Reading and Math, to measure growth and identify students who may need additional supports or enrichment opportunities.
