Disaggregated data revealed issues that needed to be addresses
• Bi-monthly meetings with Curriculum, Student Services, and Elementary Principals– Why the Achievement Gap?• Tier 1 Instruction varied widely• Instruction not aligned with best practice• “Your kids, my kids”• Too many interventions, providers, poor fidelity• Lots of resources were not solving the problem
The steps- Tier 1
• Grade Level Team Meetings• Comprehensive SIOP PD for all staff• Comprehensive SIOP PD for every
administrator and coach• SIOP model teacher cohorts
The steps- Tiers 2 & 3
• Interventions and the Problem Solving Model• Standard Protocol Committee• Track interventions in SIS
The steps- Additionally
• After School Programs• 6-week Summer School• Family Literacy• District-wide Preschool
Our Results…
• As a result of these efforts, we are seeing the data turn in the right direction.
