Goal #1

Goal 

Gunnison Valley Elementary Community Council members have set a goal to use School Trust Lands money to improve in three areas: reading, writing and math. At the current time 75% of our students are proficient on the MOY DIBELS Oral Reading Fluency benchmark. Our goal is by May 2019 to have 80% of our students proficient on the EOY DIBELS benchmark. We would also like our math and language arts SAGE scores to improve. Our overall scores dropped a little lower than we would like for the 2016-17 year. (LA 41 Math 46) We would like to see these scores increase by 3%-5%. Our growth score was higher than average and we would like to see that continue.

Academic Areas 

  • Reading
  • Mathematics
  • Writing

Measurements 

This is the measurement identified in the plan to determine if the goal was reached.

The DIBELS assessment, which is given three times a year, will be used to measure student progress. Progress monitoring probes are also used monthly to check student progress. The end of year assessment will be used for the final evaluation.

RISE assessments and benchmarks will be used to determine growth in math and language arts in 3rd to 5th grade. Common benchmark tests will be given in k-2 to determine growth.

Please show the before and after measurements and how academic performance was improved.

On the beginning of year Dibels assessment for the 2018-19 school year, 66% of our students were reading on grade level. By the end of year assessment, 79% were on grade level.  Our goal was to have 80 % of our students on grade level. 

Kindergarten … 84 %

1stGrade ………. 77%

2ndGrade ….…… 74%

3rdGrade ….…… 83%

4thGrade ….…... 79%

5thGrade ….…....79%

With all the changes in state testing this year, it was hard to determine growth. If I use the data I have at the current time, we dropped about 3% in math and language arts on the RISE assessment. 

Percentage of 1stand 2ndgrade students who passed the common benchmark assessments

1st grade …  Math 77% 

          ELA 81%

2ndgrade … Math 71% 

                     ELA 72%

All students at GVES receive 60 minutes of Tier 1 reading instruction in their regular classroom. They also receive 60 minutes of reading and /or math instruction at their instructional level (Tier 2/enrichment). Students who are below grade level receive extra help in small groups. Students who are above grade level receive enrichments. IPads are used to help individualize learning for students in both reading and math. Teachers received professional development in reading, writing and math to help them meet the needs of each student. 

Action Plan Steps 

This is the Action Plan Steps identified in the plan to reach the goal.

1- Tier 1 instruction using our basal text. 
2- Tier 2 instruction for all students who are not proficient.  Paraprofessionals will provide extra support in reading and math during Power Hour (60 min. small group instruction for all students)
3- Extensions for advanced students during Power Hour as well. 
4- Students use iPads to help with and practice reading and math skills in Power Hour and in their regular class. (Accelerated Reader, Lexia, Reflex Math)
5- Accelerate Reader will be used to help build and monitor reading comprehension.
6- Professional development focused on reading, writing and math will be provided to teachers and paraprofessionals.

Please explain how the action plan was implemented to reach this goal.
