Reading by 3rd Grade |
Outcomes: By Spring of 2025, 70% of multi-lingual learners in grades K-3 will meet the spring benchmark on the VALLS assessment. By spring of 2025, 75% of multi-lingual learners in grades 3-6 will demonstrate proficiency on the reading SOL assessment (unadjusted). By spring of 2025, 70% of multi-lingual learners in grades 4-6 will improve grade level placement on the iReady domains of vocabulary and comprehension. |
Strategy 1 Make sure teachers are using the new reading curriculum, English language programs, and support programs the way they are designed to be used. |
Strategy 2 Provide daily lessons that help students build language skills, knowledge, and vocabulary. |
Strategy 3 Use short, regular assessments from the new curriculum to help guide classroom instruction and extra support for students. |
Strategy 4 Use student data to plan small group instruction for students who need extra help, making sure they improve their reading skills. |
Elementary School Math |
Outcomes: By Spring of 2025, 70% of multi-lingual learners in Kindergarten will meet the Spring benchmark as measured by the EMAS assessment. By Spring of 2025, 70% of multi-lingual learners in grades 3-6 will pass the Spring Math SOL assessment (unadjusted). By Spring of 2025, 70% of students in grades 1-6 will improve grade level placement in Math (iReady). By Spring of 2025, students in grades 1-6 will demonstrate growth on the iReady domains of Numbers and Operations. |
Strategy 1 Help teachers understand and use the new math standards effectively. |
Strategy 2 Train teachers to use specific teaching methods that help struggling math learners. |
Strategy 3 Use student data to plan and monitor math lessons for students who need extra support, so they can strengthen their basic math skills. |
Strategy 4 Create more opportunities for students to improve their speaking and understanding of math vocabulary across all subjects (including reading, social studies, science, art, and PE). |
Chronic Absenteeism |
Outcomes: By the end of the 24-25 SY, we will reduce our school's chronic absenteeism rate from 11% to 9% or fewer students classified as chronically absent, as evidenced by our school's chronic absenteeism data. |
Strategy 1 School teams will check attendance data, along with behavior and wellness data, twice a month to find students who need extra help attending school regularly. |
Strategy 2 Schools will share attendance information with families in multiple languages throughout the year, to help families understand how important regular attendance is for their child’s success. |
Science |
Outcomes: The Grade 5 Science unadjusted pass rate will increase from 32% to 70% (unadjusted) in the 2024-2025 school year as measured by the end-of-year Standards of Learning (SOL) Science Assessment. |
Strategy 1 Give students more time for science lessons and make sure teachers are using the latest FCPS science curriculum. |
Strategy 2 Provide teachers with more training to improve their science teaching, no matter what subject they specialize in. |
Strategy 3 Give students more chances to learn and use new science words and vocabulary in all their subjects, like reading, math, social studies, and the arts. |
