Highland Elementary School Improvement Plan 2010-2011DATA ANALYSIS LEADING TO IDENTIFICATION OFACADEMIC IMPROVEMENT GOALS*Mathematics: During our analysis of data in the area of mathematics, we found that our students were performing below state levels in threedifferent math strands according to the MSP results in third, fourth, and fifth grades. As a result, we have identified mathematics as an area todevelop SIP goals. We will work to use our classroom-based formative/summative data to adjust our instructional goals for each student. Gradelevelteams will examine and share classroom data in order to identify the areas students require more support/time in. Our staff will work tocreate timely, focused interventions while utilizing powerful teaching strategies to guide us in the development of these interventions.*Writing: During our analysis of data in the area of writing, our MSP trend data showed that we scored below state levels overall in three of thepast five years accordingly. Additionally, by taking a more in-depth look at our 2010 MSP results in the area of writing, we discovered that only61% of our students met or exceeded proficiency in the area of COS (content, organization, style) while 81% of our students met or exceededstandard in the area of CON (conventions). *(Overall, 66.7% of our students met standard in writing). As such, it is clear that we need to be moredeliberate with our instructional focus, time, and support in the area of COS (and CON) in order to prepare our students at Highland to becomeeffective writers as measured on the 2011 MSP.Reading: Although we do not specifically address the area of reading in our SIP plan this year, we have specific strategies in place to address the needs ofour students. First, we will continue to monitor our DIBEL screening scores throughout the school year. We will use this as well as our formativeclassroom-based assessments to adjust our instruction using flexible reading groups. Additionally, third through fifth grade classrooms will utilize STEMquestions (from the state) in order to help students think and respond critically (and at higher levels) about what they are reading. They will also provideopportunities for students to answer questions in a variety of formats- multiple choice, short answer, etc. Our LAP reading support program will continue totarget K-2 students specifically to ensure we move students from intensive to strategic, and strategic to benchmark and beyond. We will also work to target3-5 grade students who are not yet at benchmark by looking into the possibility of utilizing an “Early Bird” reading program for reading intervention outsideof the school day (before school).Science: This is a district focus and we will be working with the District Elementary Science Team to better align our FOSS science kits with the statebenchmarks/standards. We have two reps from our building (one primary, one intermediate) on the team.5 5
