End of the Year SMARTR Outcome: English Language Arts

Ensure students are making sufficient progress to be on grade level in English Language Arts.

Goal:

We will ensure students are making sufficient progress to be on grade level in English Language Arts as measured by:

90% of Kindergarten students will meet proficiency on the PALS assessment.

80% of students in first and second graders will meet grade level expectations on the Phonological Awareness Skills Screener.

70% of students in third through sixth grades will meet proficiency on the Core Phonics Assessment.

75% (unadjusted) of students in third through sixth grades will pass the Reading SOL test.

Strategy 1

• Teachers will use evidence-based literacy practices to explicitly and systematically teach language comprehension skills in the core language arts block.

Strategy 2

• Provide daily, systematic, explicit instruction in phonological awareness, phonics, and morphology in the core language arts block.

Strategy 3

• The reading specialist and classroom teachers will provide Tier 2 instruction to identified students as preventative intervention that targets the underlying difficulty impacting the student’s progress in literacy.

 

End of Year SMARTR Outcome: Mathematics

Ensure students are making sufficient progress to be on grade level in Mathematics.

Goal:

100% of students in Grades K-2 will demonstrate growth on the GRES Strategic Inventory Assessment (SA), with 80% of students showing proficiency (70% or above).

70% (unadjusted) of students in Grades 3-6 will pass the EOY Math SOL test.

Strategy 1

• Teachers will strengthen instruction by making the shift towards high-leverage instruction as outlined in the Framework for Engaging & Student-Centered Mathematics Instruction by initiating Shifts 6 (From students replicating work to students selecting efficient strategies).

Strategy 2

• Teachers will provide embedded Tier 2 instruction to identified students as preventative intervention during guided math and WIN Time, that targets the underlying difficulty impacting the student’s progress in math.

 

End of Year SMARTR Outcome: Wellness

Ensure students feel safe, included, and supported in the school environment.

Goal:

By the end of the 2022-2023, our school will utilize Responsive Classroom Tier 1 practices and Tier 2/Tier 3 interventions with fidelity so that 90% of students with tier 2/3 needs in self-management show progress shown by SEL screener data and anecdotal teacher data.

Strategy 1

• (Rubric/CASEL Theory of Action: Strengthening Adult SEL & Promoting SEL) Staff members will implement all components of required Responsive Classroom practices using time protected by the master schedule.

Strategy 2

• (Rubric/CASEL Theory of Action: Strengthening Adult SEL & Promoting SEL) Model required practices in adult meetings to foster relationships, buy-in and learning.

Strategy 3

• MTSS Tier 2/3 Site Intervention Team meetings will review student level data and intervention matching for Tier 2 and 3 students with a focus on self-management.

 

End of the Year SMARTR Outcome: Portrait of a Graduate (POG)

All students will complete a POG Presentation of Learning (POL) by 2025-26.

Goal:

We will increase the number exhibiting the dispositions of a global and ethical citizen by 20% as measured by the standardized student survey within the SEL screener which reports students feel school is a safe and positive place.

Strategy 1

• All classrooms will implement Responsive Classroom with fidelity to promote a safe and positive learning community.

Strategy 2

• Teachers will design and facilitate inquiry-based opportunities that elevate student voice and increase student engagement.

 

End of the Year SMARTR Outcome: Other

In Spring 2023, 80% of students will pass the Science SOL in grade 5 (unadjusted)

Strategy 1

• We will consistently plan and teach science in grades K - 6.

Strategy 2

• We will assess science understanding in k-6.
