READING BY 3RD GRADE

Outcomes
  • By Spring 2025, the percentage of Economically Disadvantaged students in grades K-3 meeting or exceeding VALLSS screener benchmarks will increase from Fall 2024. (The #s will be added after Fall data is available and the growth will be at least 5%).
  • By Spring 2025, the percentage of students with disabilities in grades K-3 meeting or exceeding VALLSS screener benchmarks will increase from Fall 2024. (The #s will be added after Fall data is available and Spring growth will be at least 5%)
  • By June 2025, the percentage of students in grades K-3 meeting or exceeding the VALLS screener benchmarks will increase by at least 5% points from fall 2024 to spring 2025.
Strategies
  • Improve daily, systematic, explicit instruction in phonological awareness, phonics, and morphology by using the new core curriculum.
  • Use embedded formative assessments in the new core curriculum to guide tier 1 and tier 2 instructional decisions.
  • Increase the use of data to plan instruction and monitor progress during intervention to ensure that students demonstrating risk master foundational skills.

 

ELEMENTARY SCHOOL MATH

Outcomes
  • By the end of the June 2025 school year, the percentage of students with disabilities passing the G 3-6 Mathematics SOL will increase from 68% to 73%.
  • The % of students K-6 meeting the spring math screener benchmark (EMAS/iReady) will increase by at least 5% from fall 2024."
Strategies
  • Increase teacher implementation of explicit instruction and other components of effective mathematics intervention.
  • Increase teachers' content knowledge and implementation of the 2023 FCPS mathematics program of studies.

 

SOCIO-EMOTIONAL LEARNING & WELLNESS

Outcomes
  • We will increase our students' reported strengths in Emotional Regulation on the SEL Screener by 5 percentage points; for G3-G5 students this would be an increase from 52% to 57% and for G6 students this would be 58% to 63% by June 2025.                            
Strategies
  • There is dedicated time during the school day to develop and utilize SEL competencies and mental health protective factors, beyond the required practices (e.g. SEL curriculum).
  • MTSS Schoolwide and Site Intervention teams analyze behavior/wellness data bi-monthly to evaluate the implementation of Tier 1 SEL/wellness initiatives and identify students in need of Tier 2 and Tier 3 interventions.
