TSSP

Data Dashboard

Teacher and Student Success Plan
2019 - 2020

Overarching Goal

Literacy: Raise RSI Lexile scores by 30 growth points from fall to spring assessment with 80% of our student body for the next three years. We are currently in the low 70% range as a school. We are also assessing this metric as an "Alta Cone," and each school within our feeder is focused on raising growth measure scores with each of our underrepresented student demographics (i.e., Minority, Low SES & FRL, ELL, and Special Education), and will compare and contrast growth scores from fall to spring RI test results to measure overall growth. We also measure results at the 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th grade levels, compared to our partner CSD high schools which only assess RI in 9th and 10th grades.

School Community Council and Staff Involvement in the TSSP

School Community Councils play an integral part in the development and monitoring of TSSP goals. Please briefly describe the participation of SCC members in the development process of this TSSP:

Alta's SCC was provided with a draft outline for this goal with the required metrics and purpose/rationale based on needs assessment data and the connection of reading and writing to learning across all disciplines. The draft was provided at the February SCC to allow for a month of feedback and input back to the Chair, Vice-Chair, and Principal. The official vote took place at the March SCC meeting. SCC will also receive progress update reports quarterly during next SY on progress made towards our Literacy school wide goal.

Academic Goals

Analysis Summary

Nearly 30% of our current student body is off Lexile score range, which correlates directly with academic success across all disciplines (reading and writing)

Goal

Raise current Lexile scores to upper 70% range and focus intently on our underrepresented student demographics (as identified in our goal number one statement - Literacy)

Yes

Action Plan Summary

Administer the RI to all grade levels fall and spring and compare and contrast results. Read 180 will be utilized with our reading intervention classes, SPED/Resource, and ELD classes for maximum support in reading, comprehension, and overall literacy development.

Measurement

RI scores quarterly and reported to BLT, SCC and faculty

Explain how you will increase performance so that students with disabilities are more likely to meet or exceed your TSSP goals. Include how you will monitor implementation progress.

Read 180 utilization through continual monitoring of improvements and progress both in Read 180, as well as, the annual RI administration which provides the student's earned Lexile Score.

Explain how you will increase language development so that English Learners are more likely to meet or exceed your TSSP goals and state requirements for adequate English language progress and proficiency.

Read 180 utilization through continual monitoring of improvements and progress both in Read 180, as well as, the annual RI administration which provides the student's earned Lexile Score.

We are also hiring an aide for our ELD classes and creating a new section to lower class size and do ability grouping with 1's and 2's, and a separate class for 3's and 4's. Our hope is that through this more individualized learning and instruction that student's RI, Aspire, and ACT reflect in overall growth and improvement in proficiency.

Academic Goals

Analysis Summary

STEAM: Increase and/or sustain at least 30% of our students meeting all four college readiness benchmarks on the ACT exam - which ties directly to students having more success in post-secondary education (enrollment, persistence, and completion rates). Encourage and increase the number of students pursuing college after high school. We will be evaluating growth and progress as it relates to the Math and Science results of the ACT as well.

Goal

Alta will be evaluating ACT scores and graduation rates. Our particular target goal for ACT is to maintain at least 30% of our student body meeting all four college readiness benchmarks on the exam (a mark we hit for the first time this past SY). This ties directly into students having more success in college (enrollment, persistence, and completion rates). We will also be working towards maintaining at least a 90% graduation rate with all students. We will be evaluating progress and growth with our underrepresented demographics of students as well (SPED, ELL, Minority, and students classified as on FRL - low income).

Is this also a Land Trust Goal?

Measurement

Progress monitoring of the ACT scores, students meeting all four college readiness benchmarks, and growth/progress of our underrepresented demographics (SPED, ELL, FRL, and Minority students).
