Action Plans 2010-2011• MAP Scores
– Goal Setting/RIT band Work• Curriculum Mapping
– Gaps– Math drop in unit
• Z-Scores– Bubble Kid Program/Accelerated
• Extended Response– Math/Reading
InterventionsStudents identified in team meetings that were
at the 30th percentile and below based on Z scores from primarily MAP scores, in addition to ISAT, OLSAT, and teacher recommendation.
• Rocket Math: – Math fact program
• On average, students have improved 4 levels in first quarter.
• Reading Plus: – Structured silent reading program designed to
improve reading comprehension skills.• Students have averaged a two level gain
on the reading program for 1st quarter.
Interventions Continued• Bubble Groups:
– Students are provided with additional instructional time focused on math and/or reading depending on the students need. Students also focus on test taking strategies.• 6th grade Reading: 100% improved, 6th grade

• Book Studies:– Ongoing discussions in team
meetings
Specific Goals/Plans for May1. ISAT Bubble Groups2. M.A.P. Testing3. RTI Interventions – may need to know AIMS Web4. Rocket Math – need background5. Reading Plus – need background6. Building Goal Setting Sheets
Curriculum MappingContinue to examine maps to see gaps, overlaps, and needs.
Our Plans for the Future
ISAT Bubble Groups
• Set up a time to train our paraprofessionals to teach the program.
• Analyze our ISAT data.
• Identify students who could be part of the Bubble Groups. (below-to-meets)
• Schedule intervention times to determine when students are pulled out of class.
