Benchmark Goals 2021-22

Middle of the Year Reading Goal

By January of the 2021-22 school year, the district will have an increased percentage of students identified as Tier 1 in reading/ELA achievement as measured by the fall baseline data on Fastbridge Grade DK-9 and local assessments for Grade 10 - 12.

By the end of the 2021-22 school year, the district will have an increased percentage of students identified as Tier 1 in reading/ELA achievement as measured by the fall baseline data on Fastbridge Grade DK-9 and local assessments for Grade 10 - 12.

Middle of the Year Math Goal

By January of the 2021-22 school year, the district will have an increased percentage of students identified as Tier 1 in Math achievement as measured by the fall baseline data on Fastbridge Grade DK-9 and local assessments for Grade 10 - 12.

MTSS

  • Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) is a framework that helps educators provide academic and behavioral strategies.
  • In Fraser, we have a formal process used to identify gaps using screening assessments administered in Fall, Winter and Spring in grades DK-9.
  • We review the student scores and profiles, and tier each student in the area of Math, Reading, and Behavior

Monitoring Student Learning

  • Students DK-9 take FastBridge assessments to assess Reading and Math
  • Students 2-9 also take Scholastic Reading Inventory (SRI)
  • Students K-12 also complete SAEBRS (Social, Academic, and Emotional Behavior Risk Screener)
  • Students 9-12 take PSAT (previously it was optional)
  • Fall 2021 - benchmark assessments were administered DK-9 and compared to spring 2022 data.
  • All buildings conducted data meetings 3 times per year following the administration of the assessments.
  • Data will provide us the needed information to implement classwide and small group interventions as well as schedule 7th-9th graders into intervention courses (Read 180, Read to Achieve, Spring Math).

Data Observations

  • All grade levels K-6 in math showed growth
  • Early Literacy (K-2) is an area of concern
  • Resident versus SOC performance is stable
  • Sub shortage and staffing affected regular intervention schedule implementation
  • In grades 7-9, Tier 1 numbers remained stable throughout the year whereas Tier 3 numbers grew in most areas.
  • Loss of interventionist positions at RMS (could not fill the positions)
  • Attendance was a major factor for our Tier 2 and 3 students

12 of 16

Responding to Learning Gaps - Elementary

  • Focus on Small Group Instruction
    • Embedded PD throughout 2022-23 School Year
    • Updates to the DRA 3
    • Focus on Tier 1 reading instruction
    • Interventions for Tier 2 and 3 based on data
      • Begin after Fall benchmarking is complete
    • After 2022 Winter data meetings
      • Purchased and rolled out Heggerty Phonemic Awareness Program

13 of 16

Responding to Learning Gaps - Secondary

  • Demonstration of Competency
    • Competency Assessments in all courses aligned to state and national standards
    • Gradebooks adjusted to communicate whether students have met, not met, or are progressing toward each competency
    • Credit Recovery for HS Graduation Requirements
  • Intervention/Support Courses
    • Read 180 (7th-9th Grade)
    • Reading Apprenticeship (9th Grade)
    • Spring Math (7th & 8th Grade) * If we can get interventionists hired
    • Essentials for Algebra (8th Grade)
    • Double Block Algebra (9th Grade)
  • Return to previous expectations around attendance (policies were not enforced during pandemic)

14 of 16

Social and Emotional Learning Assessment - SAEBRS

  • Social Emotional data collection in grades K-12
    • Includes social, emotional, academic behavior scores
  • Data collected three times
  • K-6 Teacher Report
  • 7-12 Student Self-Report

15 of 16

Next Steps

All Students:

  • Continued Support for Early Literacy - Heggerty Phonemic Awareness
  • Continued implementation of Second Step for Tier 1 SEL needs
  • Focus on increasing attendance district-wide through positive supports for students and families
