Strategy 3: Provide Tier 3 instruction as an intensive intervention for students who need instruction beyond Tier 1 and Tier 2.

 

Mathematics

Outcome: Ensure students are making sufficient progress to be on grade level in Mathematics.

Goal: By the end of the 2022-2023 school year, the grade-level benchmark for the AVMR Number Words and Numerals Assessments will be met or exceeded by the following percentages for Kindergarten and 1st grade students for each assessment: Forward Number Word Sequence (FNWS)- 65%, Numeral Identification- 55%, and Backward Number Word Sequence (BNWS)- 60%

Strategy 1: Shift 8- From looking at correct answers toward looking for students’ thinking: Teachers will identify specific strategies or representations that are important to notice based on the learning intentions and strategically uses observations, student responses to questions, and written work to determine what students understand; and uses these data to inform in-the-moment discourse and future lessons.

Strategy 2: During Collaborative Team meetings, teachers will analyze formative and summative data to determine students who are in need of tier 2 instruction during the math block and the intervention block.

Strategy 3: Small group Tier 3 Instruction with AVMR and Do the Math during the morning intervention program.

 

Wellness

Outcome: Ensure students feel safe, included, and supported in the school environment.

Goal: By the spring of 2023, the percentage of K-2nd grade teachers who assessed students favorably on self-management skills domain on the SEL screener will increase by 10% from 71% to 81%.

Strategy 3: Students in grades K-6, will participate/access AAP curriculum monthly through tier 1 instruction. Some of those experiences may also be enhanced through S.T.E.A.M.

 

Science

Goal:  By June of 2023, the percentage of students passing the 5th grade Science SOL will increase to 70% or higher.

Strategy 1: Garfield Elementary School will strengthen Tier 1 science instruction. Teachers will participate in weekly Science CLT meetings

Strategy 2: Garfield Elementary School will implement explicit science instruction using the experimental design model and reinforce direct academic content vocabulary. Scientific design embedded within STEAM class
