A COACHS PLAN: GRADES PRE-K - KBecause we know that in SeptemberOnly 31% of kindergarten students knew all 26 upper case letters;Only 5% of kindergarten students knew all 26 lower case letters; Only 13% of kindergarten students knew all 20 beginning consonant sounds;17 four-year-olds are currently classified; 8 more are being evaluated.And we also know thatOur expectation is that all kindergarten students enter 1st Grade reading at least at a Level E-F in the Guided Reading Program;
Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and assessments have been drastically changed to demand more rigor, and a deeper understanding and application of skills, abilities and knowledge
RECOMMENDATION
Maintain 2 Pre-K teachers until Spring enrollment, then adjust.
Add 1 Section of Kindergarten due to an increase in enrollment
Add 2 PCAs (Personal Care Aides)OUTCOME
5 Sections of K = 100(18, 18, 21, 21, 22)(Not Including Retentions)
100 / 4 Sections = 25 (Not in compliance with the contract)
A COACHS PLAN: GRADES 1 - 4Because we know that We have one remedial math teacher who works with children in Grades 3 and 4 only;
On BEDS Day 2010, we had 71 children ages 6-11 identified as SWDs; on BEDS Day 2011 that number increased to 88 (20% increase). Since October 2011, SWDs in this age group have increased to 92, with 8 pending placements.
From 2007 2009, the AVERAGE of our SWDs in Grades 3-8 who were NOT proficient on ELA Assessments was 64% From 2010 2011, that percentage increased to 86%.
From 2007 2009, the AVERAGE of our SWDs in Grades 3-8 who were NOT proficient on MATH Assessments was 49%. From 2010 2011, that percentage increased to 79%.
Because we know that
With the addition of one more grade level to Newfane El., there are 130 additional students served in the cafeteria.
