Remember, the PDSA improvement cycle needs to be based on the review of the data.

Annual Goal:

On spring 2009 Reading CSAP, students in 3rd grade will achieve at 96% or greater proficient or advanced overall, 4th grade students will perform at 95% or higher proficient or advanced overall, and 5th grade students will perform at 90% or higher proficient or advanced overall.

 

PLAN

The PDSA improvement cycle needs to be based on review of data.                                                                                                                           Learning Standards

Determine the learning standard(s) and/or essential skill(s) that need(s) improvement which address the target group(s) and/or learning gap(s).

Determine performance assessment measures.                                                                                                                                                           Essential Skills

Using this information write your Quarterly SMART Goal.

The standard being addressed is Vocabulary

Grades K-5 will administer the theme assessment from Story Town at least twice in Quarter 1 of  the 2009-2010 School Year.

Grades K-5 will administer the Robust Vocabulary assessment at least twice in Quarter 1 of the 2009-2010 School Year.

 

 

 

 


 

 

DO

From the PLAN:  Use the identified learning standard(s) and/or essential skill(s) that need improvement. 

                              Select 2 best practices/strategies that support the Content Goal.                                                                                          Best Practices/Strategies

                             Remember to collect teacher implementation data on these best practices/strategies.                                                    Interventions/Acceleration

Themed assessments will be administered by giving students 1 story and the general comprehension questions that follow including a short constructed response. 

Robust Vocabulary will be assessed at least twice during the first quarter.

Data will be shared at the second PLC meeting in September.  Teams will analyze the data and make decisions for Quarter 2.  Once decisions have been made, the SIP will be updated to reflect current needs.  

Tier 2/3 advanced/GT students will receive inquiry based instruction based on grade level needs during Quarter 1.  Tier 2/3 partially proficient/unsatisfactory/SPED students  will receive sheltered small group direct instruction using Orton-Gillingham tools and HillRAP.

Remember, the PDSA improvement cycle needs to be based on the review of the data.

Annual Goal:

On spring 2009 Reading CSAP, students in 3rd grade will achieve at 96% or greater proficient or advanced overall, 4th grade students will perform at 95% or higher proficient or advanced overall, and 5th grade students will perform at 90% or higher proficient or advanced overall.

 

PLAN

The PDSA improvement cycle needs to be based on review of data.                                                                                                                           Learning Standards

Determine the learning standard(s) and/or essential skill(s) that need(s) improvement which address the target group(s) and/or learning gap(s).

Determine performance assessment measures.                                                                                                                                                           Essential Skills
