Our School Wide Goals |
|
Where we Are: Where we are Going: What to Expect |
|
Goal One: |
Thomas Edison is to have at least 100% of all
students who attended 3"’ to 5th grade at Thomas Edison, scoring at
the proficient or advanced levels of the CSAP by the end of grade. |
|
|
|
Goal Two: |
Thomas Edison is to show significant academic growth from the beginning
of the year to the end of the year. Significant is defined by a RIT
increase of 5 points
or greater. |
|
|
|
Current Effectiveness |
|
Based on the data from the C.S.A.P., Thomas Edison has made strong
progress toward reaching our goals. Our student body has shown growth for
the past 3 years. We have increased our overall C.S.A.P scores by 14.67%.
Our D.A.L.T. scores have shown a 5 point or greater increase in all
content areas. We are also implementing the following strategies to
further enhance our students learning and achievement. |
|
Specific strategies in place which will allow
us to reach our goals: |
|
Using current Title I monies and with new instructional leadership in
place, the following programs promoting higher student achievement are
being initiated. A K-5 building leadership team is spearheading new
effective programs offering extended learning opportunities for both
students and staff. |
|
· K-5 literacy program is now in place,
strengthening skills in an ongoing standards based program. This protects
the literacy block, a 90-minute uninterrupted period during the day. |
|
· The Multi-Sensory Phonemic Awareness
Training, which Edison’s staff committed to take during the 2000-2001
year, pinpoints phonetic basics leading to increased decoding skills and
greater reading comprehension.
· The newly adopted Mathematics curriculum
is a spiraling curriculum. This program builds on the six basic Colorado
Model Content Standards in such a way as to allow a student to reach
proficiency or mastery of all standards by the end of their elementary
career. |
|
· Title monies have assisted in the
purchase and staff training of these standards-aligned programs and have
provided a foundation to enable future continuing student successes. |
|
· To enable continued progress toward our
goal, 100% proficiency on CSAP tests, it is necessary that we receive
further funds to continue a school-wide Title I Program under an Ed-Flex
waiver. |
