Midyear STAR scores will be monitored for mastery of reading comprehension in 3rd. Students will show an increase of 50% growth by midyear in STAR reading comprehension. All low performing students will have a 10% gain on Q1 and Q2 SCAs by midyear.

 

In Mathematics Q1 and Q2 short cycle assessments, students will have an 80% proficiency by midyear.

Focus Areas

Focus Area: What are the 2-3 highest-leverage focus areas (best practices – see pp. 3-5) that must be addressed to reach the student achievement goals?

Data Connection: What data analysis led you to identify this focus area? What quantitative and qualitative data led you to this focus area?

Data Driven Instruction

The school PARCC scores for grades 3-5 according to the state were 36% proficient or above in ELA and 31% in Math. The need for teachers to use and analyze the evaluation site (portal) provided by the Hobbs Schools that provides data, standards and example questions for the standards need to be utilized more by the user. In grades K-5th, it is not evident that instruction is geared towards helping students improve on standards and skills not mastered in the curriculum, CCSS during observations, lesson plans or principal walk throughs.

Tier I (core) instruction

A need at our school is to identify students who will need more RTI to find learning difficulties to help them fill in gaps and progress with their peers in mastering the grade level curriculum before getting too far behind and ending up with Tier II interventions that is evident and determined in common grade level assessments. Higher-Performing Students in 3rd-5th grades are showing slight improvement at 7.45 points out of 20 points on the School Grading Report Card and Lowest –Performing Students are very low in showing improvement at a 4.95 points of 20 on the School Grading Report Card. Most teachers are not implementing the create and evaluate tiers of the Blooms Taxonomy based on walk throughs and low proficiencies in interims and PARCC tests.

School culture

33% of teachers in the building are new or have taught 3 years or less. Many new teachers haven’t consistently build a culture of learning. Grades are not being posted on Skyward on a timely manner. Absences have been high for teachers in the past school year. The lack of communication is evident when teachers are unclear of school happenings and events. There is a lack of parent outreach due to the parents not receiving notices in a timely manner, as per parents’ complaints. Some parents are not using the Family Access portal to stay informed on students’ grades, behaviors or other communications from school and teachers that is evident in lack of knowledge on how to access the information on the portal.

 

 

 

 

Root Cause Analysis Notes

 

Focus Area

Root Cause Hypothesis

Evidence to Support

Data Driven Instruction

How to obtain and use data, Teachers are not consistently using testing portal

Some didn’t know how, didn’t understand why it was important, knew no one was ever going to follow up, no system to follow up on reassessing, expectations were unclear; administrator didn’t follow up

Tier 1 (core) instruction

Instruction is not at a high enough level of rigor or Bloom’s Taxonomy based on evidence from walk throughs and PARCC test scores

The lack of breaking down the Standards and not being able to break them down

School Culture

Teachers and students may not believe all kids can learn.

 

Many new teachers haven’t consistently built a culture of learning; high teacher absences; parents aren’t getting information in a timely manner, some parents are not accessing the Family Access portal and teachers are not putting grades in on a timely manner.

 

Desired Outcomes

Focus Area

Draft Desired Outcome (change in adult behaviors)

Data Driven Analysis

Use data to drive instruction in order to show proficiency in the standards. Through collaboration of teachers in PLC and CPT, all common assessment scores should improve. Teachers will use the data on a daily basis. It will be evident when the principal or any other staff personnel conduct evaluations or walkthroughs. The teachers will have evidence of re-teaching and reassessments in their lesson planning. The Backwards Planning Team will attend Common Planning Times to assist teachers in fine tuning lessons. Short Cycle Assessments will be used by teachers to reflect and compare to PARCC practice questions to see if they resemble each other.

Tier I (core) Instruction

The 3 district non-negotiable strategies, Collaborative Conversations, Story Arcs and Anchor Charts/Concept Mapping, are to be utilized consistently in the classroom this school year. These, when utilized effectively will ensure a start of the shift to the application end of learning. Teachers will use Bloom’s Taxonomy language and strategies in their teaching. Principal will conduct walk throughs to look for evidence of Bloom’s Taxonomy. Better understanding of unpacking standards will show in student mastery of standards on SCAs or PARCC. Core Team created reassessment sheet will be used to track mastery or lack of mastery of Standards.

School Culture

All stake holders will collaborate for student success and create a positive environment for students through communications in timely manner and efforts to promote student learning and interventions. Complaints by staff and parents will lesson due to timely manner of getting important information out to them.
