Our 2018-19 MISSION: Close the GAP Our Approach: PBIS PLCs “AVID” instructional Umbrella Schoolwide Literacy Focus on Equity

Closing the Gap : MTSS and SEL Our Collaborative Approach:  Screen regularly and analyze timely, meaningful data sources  Use data to drive decision making on what to teach (and re-teach) all students and some students  Determine appropriate frequency and intensity of interventions and supports  Monitor individual student progress and trends

Closing the Gap : MTSS and SEL Attendance Tier 3 Examples: Home visits Personal Goal Setting Daily student and family contact Schedule changes Community Truancy Board Friend/family pick up Coordination with community resources Tier 2 Examples: Group lunches Personal phone calls Check-in, check-out Personal Goal setting Tier 1 Examples: Advisory 4-before-the-door Positive Actions by LVMS Students Clubs and activities Every Day Counts Remind: Student & Family Attendance Celebrations

Closing the Gap : Project Lead The Way  Project Lead the Way is a non-profit organization that works with schools to engage students with technology curriculum that emphasizes problem solving and computational thinking.  This year, LaVenture is offering Computer Science for Innovators and Makers – a course that includes designing, coding and building real-life applications and objects that solve real- world problems.  This course is a technology elective class which also falls under CTE and STEM.

Closing the Gap : Intensified Algebra  Daily Lessons are broken into five parts:  Opener (~10 minutes)  core activity (~30 minutes)  consolidation activity (~25 minutes)  homework (~10 minutes)  staying sharp (done at home and reviewed as part of homework)  Curriculum is designed for student engagement. (core and consolidation activities are usually done with partners or in small groups)  Each unit has a growth mindset lesson built in.  extremely important and valuable for my students!
