targets Last year: 51.5% of students made growth Goal: 60% in 2016

Priority Area 1: Reading/ELAKey Action 1: Closing the Gap

Analysis DIBELS data will be analyzed monthly in grades 1-3

Planning Supports will be provided to plan/customize small-group

instruction

Priority Area 1: Reading/ELAKey Action 2: Closing the Gap

Double-dose of customized small-group instruction Key factor: DIBELS progress monitoring data

Proactive planning, reactive teaching

Priority Area 2: Math

We need to utilize formative assessment practices to measure student learning

We need to implement supplemental programs with fidelity (DreamBox)

We need to customize small group instruction to meet student needs

Root Cause Utilizing formative assessment practices to measure student

learning

Priority Area 2: MathFactors and Root Cause

Key Actions Consistent use of DreamBox or other blended learning opportunities Using formative assessment practices to target students and

customize instruction based on needs Staff opportunities to collaborate and plan for small group instruction

Think about it…How can we use formative assessments within your classroom everyday?

How can we find time to ensure that students have access to DreamBox?

Priority Area 2: MathFactors and Root Cause

Professional Learning Plan Training on available resources to assist in closing the achievement gap

Training on utilizing formative assessment data throughout daily instruction

Provided opportunities to collaboratively plan for instruction

Think about….

Do you any of your professional goals align with these?

Priority Area 2: MathWhat’s Next?

Priority Area 3: Climate

Collaboration 35.3% disagree that collaboration is effective

Communication 35% disagree that communication is effective

Organizational Effectiveness 35.3% strongly disagree that the professional work

environment is positive

Priority Area 3: Climate

Why do we need to improve collaboration? It will improve school climate

Empower staff to work together

Collaboration can affect the quality of teaching by enriching the work of teachers.

Increase productivity and eliminate achievement gaps for identified students

Impact student achievement

Priority Area 3: Climate

Why do we need to build a positive work culture? Fosters communication

Stronger professional networks to share information

More complex problem-solving and extensive sharing of craft knowledge

In collaborative schools, the natural give-and-take of professionals means that conflict, disagreement, and discord will sometimes occur. But, these situations can be worked out for the good of students. (Fullan and Hargreaves, 1991)

Priority Area 3: Climate

Clear, positive communication with a focus on kids, teaching, and learning builds confidence in you and your school

Principals are the main creators of a culture of communication in their schools. Good, two-way communication becomes the standard when principals serve as role models, provide resources and training, and hold staff members accountable for their communication efforts and results

Priority Area 3: Climate

Organizational Effectiveness How can we become more efficient as a team? Customize PD that is relevant to individual needs Collaborative planning/common planning times

Question for Reflection

What is your role in establishing a positive school climate?
