Implemented several strategies to allow students to know how to learn:

  • Familiar reading of known books to build confidence, fluency, deeper comprehension
  • Writing instruction closely tied to reading behaviors- students apply what they know in reading to what they are learning in writing.
  • Targeted word work focused on systematic, explicit phonics instruction
  • Discussion prompts to activate knowledge and build speaking, listening, and language competency
  • Dictated sentences and sound boxes to support hearing and recording sounds in words

3-5 Grade Literacy Intervention

Solution

Rationale

UFLI Foundational Skills Curriculum

Instituted at mid-year 22-23, this highly structured foundational skills program was implemented to support the readers most in need; in 23-24, the Rewards program is also being implemented for grades 4-5.

Acadience Assessment

Because MAP 2-5 Reading is not adequately sensitive to readers far-below grade level, this nationally normed benchmark assessment provided more data to support readers who scored below the 20th percentile on MAP; two teachers are piloting the assessment with their entire classes.

Novel Studies using adapted Collaborative Strategic Reading (CSR) protocol

Research shows that readers who read above a second grade level will grow more if they read more challenging text; CSR is a research-based protocol shown to improve reading comprehension.

Partner Reading/Paragraph Shrinking Intervention

Fourth grade implemented this intervention for the entire grade level in 22-23 due to the need for more fluency practice; class average MAZE scores increased across the grade level.

49 of 51

K-5 Math Intervention

  • Instructional coaching with 1st and 4th grade teachers focuses on strengthening math instruction, using data-driven strategies informed by SBA and MAP results.
  • Coaching supports 1st and 4th grade teachers in adopting differentiated approaches that cater to varied learning needs, enhancing student engagement and comprehension.
  • Collaboration with 2nd grade instructional assistants (IAs) ensures targeted math interventions are in place, addressing gaps in foundational numeracy.
  • Work with instruction partners deepens teachers' understanding of the Aspects of Rigor (conceptual understanding, procedural skills, and application), setting the foundation for effective lesson internalization.

50 of 51

Middle Academy and High School

  • 6th-10th grade students have an “R and R” advisory period four days a week
  • Digital portfolios to demonstrate competencies
  • Offer AP courses at the high school level with guided study support (two new AP classes - AP Stats and AP English Literature)
  • Regular time in schedule for teacher collaboration and preparing for instruction
  • Built-in monthly professional development
