PGM’s Unified Plan Ensures that We…

  • Identify root causes and focus

intervention on those specific areas

  • Progress monitor and make adjustments

based on the data to drive our targeted instruction for all levels of instruction

  • Analyze student growth to make sure that

what we are doing is working

READING COMPREHENSION ATTENDANCE MATH (OPEN ENDED)

slide-10
SLIDE 10

Reading Comprehension

  • Students do not consistently stop to segment text as

they read, asking themselves questions or making

  • connections. (Students are not reading or rereading

for understanding.)

  • Students need to learn comprehension strategies so

that they can read and understand not only at their independent level, but also when reading text above their independent level.

  • We are moving students’

levels throughout the school year, but we still continue to have a gap in students that are reading at grade level.

slide-11
SLIDE 11

Some Strategies We Use to Target Reading Comprehension

  • Balanced Literacy
  • Read Alouds

with accountable talk- Think Alouds

  • Teacher modeling of comprehension

strategies in mini lesson and during small group

  • Practice of these strategies in small

guided reading groups & during extended day

  • Asking Open-Ended questions that elicit

higher level thinking

  • TC units of study to support

independent use of comprehension strategies

slide-12
SLIDE 12

At PGM We Instill the Love of Reading

  • PGM Summer

Reading Incentive, Accountability & Follow Via: Monthly Reading Rally’s & Nightly Reading Logs, Principal Stunts as Added Incentives, Encouraging Announcements and Praise (Shout Outs)

slide-13
SLIDE 13

ACTION STEPS

  • Monitor & Analyze Data

– Analyze data during grade level meetings to identify students not meeting or approaching benchmark standardsprovide targeted/explicit instruction – Use of running records and anecdotal notes to drive instruction via walk throughs as well as during pre and post

  • bservation conferences.
  • Monthly Principal Walk Throughs

– Target comprehension strategies such as segmenting text, asking questions as students read, making connections, rereading during read alouds, small group instruction and individual conferencing

  • f anecdotal notes to drive targeted

next step instruction – Analyzing Running records

  • Incorporates cues, such as visual

along with meaning & structure when students come to a word they do not know

  • Segment Text & Question
  • Reread
  • Make connections

Measurable Outcomes for Reading Comprehension

How Do We Monitor Progress at PGM?

  • By implementing running record benchmark assessments

in September, November, March & June (assess both comprehension and fluency)

  • By using data from the running records to drive

differentiated guided reading and small group instruction

  • By monitoring the percentage of students moving the

appropriate number of reading levels throughout the year (K:3 levels, Gr. 1:5 levels, Gr. 2-4:3 levels each)

Math

  • Students do not consistently formulate

correct answers to extended constructed response problems

  • Students do not consistently show

their work AND explain their answer using words

  • Students do not make the

Reading Connection

– Multi –Step word problems require:

  • Segmenting the text
  • Answering the steps/questions within

the question (rereading for understanding)

  • Making connections between what they

know in order to apply that knowledge to solve problems

slide-26
SLIDE 26

Strategies to Target Math

Explicitly Connect Reading Strategies Across Content Area of Math Via:

  • Strategy Anchor charts
  • Teacher Modeling

Expectation

  • Practice in Small Guided

Math groups & during Extended Day

  • Providing students with

feedback in their student math journals

slide-27
SLIDE 27

ACTION Steps for Math

  • Monitor & Analyze Data

– Analyze data during grade level meetings to identify students not meeting or approaching benchmark standardsprovide targeted/explicit instruction – Use benchmark assessments and anecdotal notes to drive instruction via walk throughs as well as during pre and post

  • bservation conferences.
  • Monthly Principal Walk Throughs

– That target evidence of the implementation of comprehension strategies such as segmenting text, thinking about what the question is asking as students read, making connections & the importance of rereading in math

  • Student journal responses to ECR with teacher feedback
  • Targeted Teacher Professional Development

– Targeted small group/differentiated instruction, journal feedback to move students and use of anecdotal notes to drive targeted next step instruction – Provided by the Math Coach and Aussie consultants

slide-28

Measurable Outcomes for Math

How Do We Monitor Progress at PGM?

  • Teachers will use data

from benchmark assessments

  • ver the course of the school

year to drive explicit instruction

  • Journal entries will show an

increase in rigor over the course of the school year. Teachers will score student work using a rubric

  • Students will complete a

beginning of the year & end of the year assessment containing ECR problems in math, as well as progress monitor monthly in order to increase performance from September 2011 to June 2012

Individual Staff Accountability Reduction in Class Disruption Reading Comprehension

slide-40
SLIDE 40

Reading Comprehension

  • Students were able to read a piece of literature, but were

unable to answer comprehension questions related to the piece.

  • Students were able to decode the written word but were

not able to extract meaning from the word.

  • Students are unable to comprehend single isolated words,

thus unable to extract meaning from the entire paragraph and eventually the entire piece of writing.

  • Students need to learn meaning behind vocabulary to be

able to establish comprehension.

ACTION STEPS

  • Monitor & Analyze Data

– Analyze data during summer months to identify students not meeting or approaching benchmark standardsprovide targeted/explicit instruction. – Analyze data during summer months to identify patterns of weaknesses and strengths within individual classrooms.

slide-44
SLIDE 44

ACTION STEPS

  • September Data Mining Sessions

– Each teacher receives the data on the students taught in the previous year for a study of strengths and weaknesses at a faculty meeting. – Each teacher receives the data on the students taught in the present year for a study of strengths and weaknesses at a faculty meeting. – Each teacher meets individually with one of the

slide-45
SLIDE 45

ACTION STEPS

  • Individual Administrator/Staff

Meeting

– Each teacher meets individually with one of the building administrators to discuss a student they have identified to target. – The teacher with the administrator writes an action plan for that individual student.

slide-46

Measurable Outcomes

How Do We Monitor Progress at SGS?

  • By implementing running record benchmark assessments

in September, November, March & June

  • By using data from the running records to drive

differentiated guided reading and small group instruction

  • By using data from common assessments to drive small

group and individualized instruction.
