Goal #1

Using the Acadience composite, we will show an increase in the percentage of students in grades K-6 that are reading on grade level by 4.5% from Middle of the year 2021-22 to the Middle of the year 2022-23. 

Academic Area- English Language Arts, World Languages

Measurement: Student success will be measured by utilizing K-6 Acadience composite scores from Middle of the year 22-23 to the Middle of the year 22-23. We will increase the percentage of students that are reading at benchmark or above benchmark by at least 4.5%. Our current Middle of Year data shows that 58% of students are reading at grade level.

Action Plan:

1. We will fund 2 (1 full time and 2 half time) Tier II/III intervention TAs that will work with students in grades K-6. Students will be given diagnostic literacy assessments to identify specific learning gaps and the interventionist will work with teachers to provide ongoing support to these students in a small group setting to decrease learning gaps. As students make progress or reach well over their benchmark goals, new students are substituted for those that reach grade level performance in reading.

2. The school will purchase a subscription to Reading A-Z to provide leveled reading books in Spanish and English for small group instruction. 

3. The school will hire a lead interventionist Teacher (or paraprofessional) to run a Tier III intervention room for students performing well below grade level. This person will utilize assessment data and intervention resources to deliver impactful support to students.

Budget:

Salaries and Benefits- Steps 1 and 3 of plan. $51,000 + $20,000

Reading A-Z- Step 2 $3,500

Goal #2

Through technology use, we will support our reading goal to increase the percentage of students reading on grade level in grades K-6 by 4.5%.
