PROGRAM EVALUATION: 1. The preschool
classrooms focus on developing socialization
skills, cognitive skills, motor skills, and
language skills. They use Pre-ELLA strategies
for literacy readiness skills. Implementation
of activities promoting the development of all
of the above named skills based on the
Arkansas Framework for Early Childhood has
been observed by the principal and ECERS
evaluators. 2. To determine the degree of
effectiveness of the implementation of
Pre-ELLA strategies and successful
implementation of the preschool curriculum
for the previous school year, ECERS
evaluations, Work Sampling, and the
Developmental Indicators for the Assessment
of Learning (DIAL) were used. These
evaluations were used to identify weak areas
in instruction and to track the progression of
student learning and behaviors. DIBELS Next
Benchmark scores for the beginning of the
school year are used to track the number of
students who enter kindergarten in the low
risk category. 3. During the 2010-2011 school
year, ECERS did not visit to re-evalute the
preschool program. The 2009-2010 ECERS
Environmental Assessment revealed several
areas that scored below the state
recommended level of developmental
appropriate activities. The lowest scoring
areas included greeting of students, safety
practices, nature/science activities, and use
of student computers. The assessment
detailed the rationale of the scoring for each
activity as well as the details of the
observation. Steps have been taken to correct
and monitor all areas with low scores. Work
Sampling was used throughout the year to
chart each student's achievement of skills,
and pinpoint weak areas in which the student
needed more practice or instruction. The
majority of the DIAL assessments indicated
that the students exhibited developmental
appropriate skills in social, motor, and
language skills. Results from the DIBELS Next
Benchmark Assessment indicated that 68% of
the returning students met the benchmark
score for the beginning of the year. 23% were
classified as "some risk", and 9% were
classified as "at risk".

Priority 2:
Kindergarten students will improve their ability to problem solve, match one-to-one correspondence, and
communicate their understanding of mathematics.
First and second grade students at Blytheville Primary School will improve their skills in Problem Solving.
This improvement will result in a more prepared student and will ultimately result in improved test scores
in the upper grades.
