MATH NOTESStudents in grades 2-5 took a diagnostic assessment in IXL

which provided the interventionist with each

student’s overall math level and information to create

action plans to target instruction for individual

students.

Responsive ClassroomPreliminary Data Collection and Analysis

● There have been a total of 412 discipline incidents recorded in our Student information system for Keyport Central School.

● Only 11 total incidents involved students regularly engaging in Responsive Classroom practices in school. Those incidents involved only 5 individual students.

● In addition there has been only 1 founded HIB case involving a student that engages in Responsive Classroom practices at KCS.

● This data does NOT indicate causation, however, it is a notable correlation that will continue to be monitored and explored.

● More qualitative and quantitative data will be collected and analyzed.

Goal 3: KCS Schedule Analysis▪ To review the KCS Schedule to determine

possibility of inclusion of dedicated time for Responsive Classroom and Intervention
