Goal

Using technology and other resources, students will meet grade-level reading benchmarks as assessed by DIBELS and/or District mandated tests by the end of the 2017/2018 school year.

Academic Areas

• Reading
• Technology

Measurements

This is the measurement identified in the plan to determine if the goal was reached.

DIBELS will be the measurement used in K-2.  DIBELS DAZE and SAGE benchmarks will be the measurements used in grades 3-6.  The baseline will be the beginning of year scores for each grade level.  Riverdale will be striving for all students to make growth with at least 80% of students meeting or exceeding end of year DIBELS benchmark and at least 80% meeting or exceeding District benchmark levels.

Please show the before and after measurements and how academic performance was improved.

         According to the Pathways of Progress data, 60% of Kindergarten children made typical and above growth; First graders made 65% growth, Second graders made 69% growth, Third graders made 72% growth, Fourth graders made 74% growth, Fifth graders made 72% growth, and Sixth graders made 89% growth.  87% of all students made some growth from the beginning of school to the end of year.  As a school, we need to focus on the well -below students and the well -above students in their growth scores.

Action Plan Steps

This is the Action Plan Steps identified in the plan to reach the goal.

1.  The Academic Team will develop a school-wide learning plan with professional development for teachers to develop and implement research-based teaching skills and strategies.
2.  Technology will be used to enhance the students' educational experience and broaden their depth of knowledge for informational text.  Students will research, analyze, and interpret readings with accuracy.  
3.  Teachers will identify grade-level essential learning targets for reading and develop a plan to address the targets with interventions and increase student growth.  This will be completed in Professional Learning Communities.
4.  Aides will be provided for PLC coverage and classroom interventions guided by the teacher.
5.  We will replace seven projectors for our ten-year-old SMART board systems which are essential to student success with learning objectives and instrumental for using our current student response systems, software programs, and other audio-visual materials.

Please explain how the action plan was implemented to reach this goal.

     Teachers met in Professional Learning Groups to used data to drive instruction, increased use of technology during instruction, and developed lesson plans aligned with their essential learning targets.  
     We replaced seven projectors so students could have access to technology programs and audio-visual materials.
     Instructional aides were trained and worked with children during our intervention time.  Small group instruction was differentiated based on the weekly data gathered and analyzed.

Funding Changes (and Unplanned Expenditures)

The school plan describes how additional funds exceeding the estimated distribution would be spent. This is the description.

If we receive additional funding we will spend the money on technology.

Description of how any additional funds exceeding the estimated distribution were actually spent.

We used school money and Trustland money to purchase projectors to replace the outdated projectors.
