DE 2023-2024 TSSP and LAND Trust Plan Overarching Goals:

According to Acadience assessments for K-3, 80% of students are reaching benchmark in reading (literacy). According to Reading Inventory (RI) assessment for 4th and 5th grade, 71% of students are reaching benchmark. We believe this success is a result of concrete, explicit instruction, core instruction, small group instruction, supplemental/Tier II instruction, and resources. We will continue to implement best practices, such as structured classroom discussion, close reading, and provide professional development to maintain success and build teacher capacity. To further improve achievement, we will continue connecting the appropriate interventions, diagnosing student needs, and implementing appropriate tools.

According to Acadience assessments, 79% of students are reaching benchmark in math. We believe this success is a result of concrete, explicit instruction, core instruction, small group instruction, supplemental/Tier II instruction, and resources. We will continue implementing best practices and provide professional development to maintain success and build teacher capacity.  We will continue to include structured classroom discussion in math lessons and move toward a close look at vertical alignment among grade levels. To further improve achievement, we will continue connecting the appropriate interventions, diagnosing student needs, and implementing appropriate tools.

Life Skills Goal: In order to increase preventative measures, teachers will continue with Morning Meetings, supporting the monthly theme presented at our monthly grade-level meetings, and streamline the PBIS measures with monthly life skills supports. We will use restorative practices for recess, BB, and lunch room conflict. We will continue to provide the community with knowledge of life skills information.
