1. What are your problem statements?

Student Achievement Problem Statements

• Although most of our students are at or above grade level in reading, about 10% of our students are at risk of retention or of concern to their teachers. A disproptionate number of these student are minority students, come from low income families or both. We have a system of intervention in place for our targeted students, but are not seeing sufficient growth to accelerate progress of these students to grade level standards.

Teacher Practice Problem Statements

• In the area of teacher practice, staff is continuing to gain skill and experience with Houghton Mifflin Reading program and assessments, but need continued support in program implementation, use of data and intervention strategies. The staff members have begun to use grade level and cross grade level collaboration, but need additional support in developing grade level agreements and processes for cycle of inquiry.
