Our goal is by the end of the 2022-23 school year, we will increase our overall language arts RISE proficiency levels in each grade, 3-6, by 1% from the previous year. Further, we will increase our overall Acadience typical or above growth levels as a school K-3, by 1% from the previous year.

• English/Language Arts

Data through the RISE assessment system will be used to measure the 1% proficiency increase in each grade, 3 through 6. Acadience end of year testing K-3 typical or above growth level.

1.  School LAND Trust funds will support this goal by providing substitute teachers during the professional learning community block schedule time ($6000) so that classroom educators can attend collaboration team meetings where ongoing student data is monitored by grade level teachers. Adjustments in curriculum delivery are made based on student performance.

2.  School LAND Trust funds will be used to hire four academic aides at 4 hours a day ($47,000) and a computer lab specialist ($8000) to help the students receive quality instruction and interventions as needed, and to assist in the delivery of small group and individualized instruction.

3.  Chromebooks will be obtained through the school district technology department for 1 to 1 placement throughout the school to assist with Imagine learning, keyboarding skill building, small group instruction, the Utah Compose Writing program, and benchmark assessments. (1 to 1 Chromebook lease $15,000 and cart $1,200)

Further the following action steps will be implemented; funding for actions in this section requiring financial support will be drawn from other school funding sources:

1. Grade level essential learning targets will be monitored through common formative assessment data from introduction to proficiency and evaluated throughout the year to determine student progress. Essential learning target mastery will be determined by 80 percent of students achieving 80 percent proficiency or higher. Common formative assessment data will help determine student performance and needs, individually and as a grade, for grades Kindergarten through sixth. ($0)

2.  Student growth percentiles will be monitored, in each grade level, and compared with progress towards proficiency improvements. ($0)

3.  In addition to classroom Tier II instruction, all students who are identified as intensive by the Acadience tests will receive additional reading interventions from the Reading Intervention Team Academic Aides. ($0)

4. The reading specialist will provide monthly training, and side by side coaching to teachers as needed.  ($0)

5. Teachers will have the opportunity to observe other teachers demonstrating best practices in language arts.  ($0)

6. Teachers will receive continued professional development focusing on student learning, building a collaborative culture, and improving results through data analysis in professional learning communities. ($0)

7. Students will receive art instruction lessons during teacher collaboration time. ($0)

8. Additional Acadience assessments will be implemented in grades 4 thru 6. ($0)

9. Reading Horizons phonics program will be utilized in grades K thru 3. ($0)

10. Grade level teams will continue to develop grade level common formative assessments directed at essential learning targets school wide. ($0)

11. Common formative assessment data will be disaggregated  to identify students needing extra support. ($0)

12. Language and content reflecting the rigor of RISE benchmarks will be included in common formative assessments. ($0)

13. All grade levels will include 90 minutes weekly of writing skill practice/instruction. ($0)

Our goal is by the end of the 2022-23 school year, we will increase the overall RISE test proficiency levels in Mathematics in each grade, 3-6, by 1% from the previous year.

• Mathematics

Data through the RISE assessment system will be used to measure the 1% proficiency increase in each grade, 3 through 6.

1.  School LAND Trust funds will support this goal by providing substitute teachers during PLC block schedule time ($6,000) so that classroom educators can attend collaboration team meetings where ongoing student data is monitored by grade level teachers weekly. Adjustments in curriculum delivery are made based on student performance.

2.  School LAND Trust funds will be used to hire a computer lab specialist ($8000) to help the students receive quality instruction and assistance in the computer lab.

3.  School-wide 1 to 1 Chromebook lease ($15,000) and carts ($2,400) will be obtained to assist with math learning software and instruction in the classroom. 

The following computer based programs will be utilized: 

Imagine Math

Imagine Math Facts
