FHES Strategic Initiative #1 -Language Arts

1A.To improve reading analysis skills in Grades K-6 as measured by the Measurement of Student Progress

Action Plans Desired Outcomes and Products Time Frame Implementation Notes

1. Staff will review and emphasize current

Harcourt Curriculum for analysis skills and

strategies application.

Students will increase their ability

to demonstrate reading analysis

skills as evidenced by MSP tests

annually and also Measures ofAcademic Progress three times peryear.

By improving reading analysis, weexpect to improve all areas of

Reading as measured by the MSPand MAP.

Students will be able to increase

their MSP scores in ReadingAnalysis to at least 80% at gradelevels 3-6.

Concern that the scores are good,

but have remained flat at grades 3

and 5.

Staff will compare

cohort grade

increases over a

two year period,with results by endof the 2013 school

year.

MAP scores will be

reviewed in fall, winter

and spring to assist in

formative assessmentsand to develop readinganalysis plans for

individual students.

2. Staff will investigate Wright Group Guided

Reading strategies for application of

reading strategies (Funding to purchaseprofessional development and

supplemental reading materials for K-5readers two times per week). Professional

development investment will beworthwhile.

Grade 2 teachers will

use DRA as a teacher

scored measure. Firstgrade teachers will need

to develop anassessment. (see action

plan #3.)

3. Grade 1 teachers will develop and report tothe team a suitable assessment for reading

analysis, so that the primary data can be

incorporated in the plan.

School is above or near80% reading

proficiency. Gains were

noted in 4th gradereading over the last two

years.Note also that the MSP

was the first year of

administration,
