Ritch Middle School Improvement Action Plan

SMART Goal 1: Based on cohort data, our goal is to increase the percentage of students with Lexile scores at or above their

grade level midpoint on the Spring Georgia Milestones End of Grade from 58% to 70% in 2019.

o 6th grade: current 52.8% (raw data: 103/195) to a grade level goal of 70% (raw data: 137/195)

o 7th grade: current 54.8% (raw data: 97/177) to a grade level goal of 70% (raw data: 124/177)

o 8th grade: current 67% (raw data: 134/200) to a grade level goal of 70% (raw data: 140/200) (*will include Spring 2019

EOG and EOC data to determine goal progress)

SMART Goal 2: During the 2018-2019 school year, our goal is to have 90% of our students meet their anticipated growth on

the Reading Inventory screener.

Strategy/Initiative: • Improve Lexile scores by using Reading Inventory report data to set growth goals and monitor progress

• Incorporate Adolescent Reading Strategies (ARS) into lesson planning (ELA classes – 2x/week; all other classes – 1x/week)

• Provide targeted, tiered support during Needs Based Instruction
