Single School Plan Components

Fall 2003

1. What are the major strategies in your plan?

For English Language Arts

• K-2 teachers will implement Houghton Mifflin reading program.
• Teachers will assess and analyze student's reading comprehension on an ongoing basis at the classroom, grade and site level.
• Maintain current intervention programs and strengthen intervention by extending it to all grade levels.

For students who are proficient in math or english language arts

• Teachers will identify low performing students, especially who fall into at-risk subgroups and document the intervention programs in which they are participating and their academic progress.
• Maintain and enhance current intervention programs including creating programs to meet needs of struggling studentss, from all grade levels, especially those from under performing sub-groups.
• Maintain and possibly enhance social-emotional support for low performing SES students.
• Assure that all students have access to educational supplies throughout the entire year.

For writing assessment improvements

• Implement the Houghton Mifflin writing program at grades K-2.
• Discuss the Houghton Mifflin writing program and its relation to past practices at Lum, especially - six traits techniques and utilization of the student writing processes and writing daily for fluency. Determine how to meld the two.
• Teachers will analyze student work on an ongoing basis at the classroom, grade level and site.
2. What are your inquiry questions?

Student Achievement Questions

• Of the K-5 students who are performing below grade level, what effective intervention programs can we offer?
• Of the students who are reading below grade level, what skills are they lacking that would increase their reading comprehension?
• Of the students not making grade level proficiency in writing,what skills are they lacking?

Teacher Practice Questions

• How effective are our intervention programs for improving student performance in the classroom and on standardized assessments?
• To what extent are all of the K-2 teachers implementing the Houghton Mifflin reading program effectively, and what aspects of the Houghton Mifflin program need to be enhanced or emphasized to meet the needs of struggling students?
• What techniques or strategies will most effectively meet the needs of students performing below grade level in writing?
