  18. Goal 1 Reading Comprehension By June 2012, all students will increase performance on targeted Reading Comprehension skills using instructional interventions implemented in all curricular areas as measured by the TN 3 Science subtest and other System-wide and school based assessments. The targeted skills are to expand knowledge, make connections, and determine important information when reading non-fiction texts.

  19. Interventions: • CSR Learning Log • KWL Chart • Monitoring student work • Formative and Summative Assessments (Ex. Reading Streets Unit Assessments) • Word Walls • CSI Binder with data and artifacts

  20. Assessments: System-wide Assessments • TerraNova (Science subtest 3rd grade) • Developmental Reading Assessment (DRA) (K-3)

  21. Assessments: School Selected Assessments • Scholastic Reading A-Z (K-2) • Literacy Place Assessment (4-6) • Scholastic Reading Inventory (7-8) • PK Creative Curriculum Print and Book Concept Observation Checklist

Goal 2: Mathematics By June 2012, all students will increase performance on targeted mathematics skills using instructional interventions implemented in all curricular areas as measured by the TerraNova 3 Math subtest and other system-wide and school based assessments. The targeted skills are to use reasoning to articulate and prove mathematical concepts. 

  24. Interventions: • Graphic Organizer (Vocabulary) • UPSL • Math Word Walls • Formative and Summative Assessments (Ex. eVisions math series) • CSI binder with data and artifacts

  25. Assessments: System-wide Assessments • TerraNova Mathematics Subtest (Grades 3-8)

  28. What’s New? UPSL!!! After our pre-QAR visit last spring, it was recommended hat we add another intervention to use along with the graphic organizer to help our students with reasoning and problem solving.

  29. So What Does this Mean? • We are not getting rid of the vocabulary graphic organizer. • We are simply enhancing what we are already doing in the classroom. • We are adding more rigor to our expectations.

  30. What is UPSL? UPSL is a strategy used to help solve word problems. • Understand • Plan • Solve • Look Back
