English Language Arts

Outcome: Ensure students are making sufficient progress to be on grade level in English Language Arts.

iReady Goal: By June 2024, 79% of students, Grades 1-3, will demonstrate expected screener within-year growth in Reading as evidenced by iReady. This would reflect an increase in 10 percentage points from the 22-23 SY data (69%):

• Grade 1: At the EOY 23-24 SY, 100% of students will make growth on their iReady Scale Score and 68% of student will make their typical growth goal and/or stretch goal.
• Grade 2: At the EOY 23-24 SY, 100% of students will make growth on their iReady Scale Score and 68% of student will make their typical growth goal and/or stretch goal.
• Grade 3: At the EOY 23-24 SY, 100% of students will make growth on their iReady Scale Score and 78% of student will make their typical growth goal and/or stretch goal.

Strategy 1: Improve use of interactive read alouds for building knowledge and vocabulary through texts that affirm students' lived experiences.

Strategy 2: Increase use of data (e.g., iReady, CORE, PASS, PRF, WIDA) to plan instruction and monitor progress for students demonstrating risk.

Strategy 3: Improve daily, systematic, explicit instruction in phonological awareness, phonics, and morphology in the core language arts block.

Mathematics

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

iReady Goal: By June 2024, 72% of students, Grades 1-5, will demonstrate expected screener within-year growth in Math as evidenced by iReady. This would reflect an increase in 10 percentage points from the 22-23 SY data (62%)

• Grade 1: At the EOY 23-24 SY, 100% of students will make growth on their iReady Scale Score and 79% of students will make their typical growth goal and/or stretch.
• Grade 2: At the EOY 23-24 SY, 100% of students will make growth on their iReady Scale Score and 58% of students will make their typical growth goal and/or stretch.
• Grade 3: At the EOY 23-24 SY, 100% of students will make growth on their iReady Scale Score and 76% of students will make their typical growth goal and/or stretch.
• Grade 4: At the EOY 23-24 SY, 100% of students will make growth on their iReady Scale Score and 81% of students will make their typical growth goal and/or stretch.
• Grade 5: At the EOY 23-24 SY, 100% of students will make growth on their iReady Scale Score and 62% of students will make their typical growth goal and/or stretch.

Strategy 1: Increase teachers implementation strategies related to Shift 4: from show and tell to share and compare.

Strategy 2: Use conversation structures to increase academic talk between students.

Strategy 3: Increase teacher implementation of explicit instruction and other components of effective mathematics intervention.

Additional Learning Environment Strategy: Cultivate a classroom culture of thinking by promoting curiosity, centered on student thinking, and planning for relevant and enriching learning experiences.

Chronic Absenteeism

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

Goal: By the end of the current 2023-2024 school year, BES will have reduced our previous school year's chronic absenteeism rate by 10% from 25% to 15% as evidenced by our school’s Chronic Absenteeism Data.

Strategy 1: Create a school culture of engagement & belonging for students and families. Every staff, student, and family will feel safe and connected to the school community.

Strategy 2: Understand root causes of student absenteeism. Strengthen programmatic responses to attendance barriers.
