2011-12
Simple and Systematic
Mission and Focus
• To inspire our students with a passion for learning, empowered to pursue their dreams confidently and creatively, while contributing to our community, nation, and world.
Focus – depends on data, currently:Improving Math Achievement Improving Literacy for All Building Relationships
Proactive Intervention(P.I.) + Response to Intervention(RtI)
• What are they and how do they work together to help more students achieve?
*Achievement is defined by Annual Yearly Progress on FCAT and Student Grades
P.I.
• This begins with a core academic team’s early look at lagging indicators - student FCAT scores(AYP), previous year grades, attend., disc. What AYP subgroup(s) are underperforming?Why are they underperforming?What to do about it?When?Working? If not What now? Semi Quarterly review
by teams
RtI – School Wide and Team
• Response to Intervention is about providing good instruction and interventions to students based on their needs.
• Interventions are tiered, not students
RtI School-Wide
• The basis of RtI is good instruction for all(tier 1 interventions for all)
RtI School Wide cont’d
• Early Warning system – looking at grades, discipline, and attendance
• Gives you data on: – students to provide interventions for– students to reward
RtI School Wide cont’d
Early warning system data• Quarterly data review to determine school-
wide interventions(programs)by SLT/DST• Keep 5 B’s & discipline system• Add PBS – for example: No C’s, less than 2
referrals, less than 4 absences = ability to listen to mp3 and seating preference during lunch.
RtI – Teams
This is by nature a little more reactive• Look at data semi- quarterly • See which students are not being successful• Provide them with interventions you do not
provide for all (tier 2 interventions)
Tier 2 Interventions
Documenting Tier 2 Effectiveness
• Grades, attendance, discipline• Scatter plot or class graph of grades• Story behind the grade
That is it - simple.
• Child study/RtI kicks in - in very few cases
Tier 3
Curriculum &Instruction
• Written (Core Curriculum)• Intended (What you teach)• Learned (What students learn)
• Continued use of FOCUS to inform our instruction (FAIR, SRI, used as well)
Professional Development
• Rigor & EngagementAVID(Socratic Seminar,…….) Small Group InstructionCo-operative LearningD.O.K. (evaluate ourselves & question stems)
More Systems/Simplification
• Morning Meetings :Monday – Teachers in classTuesday – DST, SLT, Dept., Team all strategically
scheduledWednesday – Parent Conf. Thursday – Teachers in classFriday – Parent Conf. • Parent Conference requests communicated by
team contacts with front desk
More Systems/Simpl. Cont’d
• Achievement Contracts – included in agenda• Bathroom passes in agenda?• Laminated D.O.K. posters for every classroom• Every team one Service-Learning project?• Other ideas to improve?
