Teacher and Student Success Plan
2020 - 2021


Overarching Goal

Increase academic success at Sandy Elementary by focusing on structured classroom discussion, close read, number talks, data analysis, rigorous lesson planning incorporating all DOK levels and building community. 

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:
 

On February 12th meeting we went over the reading data provided by Carolee MacKay our achievement coach.  It was  evident that our interventionists were making progress with our students that they worked with.  We talked about different options of spending money but decided on hiring interventionists and reducing class size.


On March 9th meeting we looked at the plan and measurements to show improvement.  We decided to use Acadience pathways to progress so we could insure progress for all students.

Academic Goals

In 2019 45% of students are below benchmark on their math composite score. This pattern is common in all grades. We believe the
problem is a result of rigor in core instruction and lack of math foundation skills. A strategy for improvement is to incorporate number talks and close reading in math.


Acadience math composite proficiency will increase by 20% from Fall 2020 to Spring 2021.

1. Implementation of number talks and math close reading including a lesson study.
2. Master schedule that provides required math instruction minutes.
3. All teachers will be involved in coaching cycle to improve student outcomes.
4. Weekly monitoring of i-Ready, and other educational software minutes, for all students.


Will be measured by Acadience Math Composite scores benchmark data.


Monthly, we will look at all sub groups, especially SPED and ELL to see if they are meeting TSSP goal. If not, we will adjust scaffolds and interventions.


We will be increasing language development as we implement Math Talks. We will use structured classroom discussion and provide sentence starters. We will continue focusing on multiple exchanges. We will also be implementing Close Reading routines in math. This will bring in academic language and focus on higher level DOK questions.


Progress will be communicated to stakeholders after winter benchmark testing in school newsletter. Also, information will be shared with PTA, BLT and SCC in a meeting after winter benchmark testing.

Academic Goals

37% of students are below typical growth as measured by Acadience Pathway to Progress. This pattern is most common in kindergarten and 1st grade.
We believe the problem is a result of Core instruction during foundations and rigor of reading instruction during Core instruction and skills based instruction. A strategy for improvement is to focus on close reading and structured classroom discussion.


By May 2021 75% of students will make typical or above typical progress as measured by Acadience pathway of progress.

School Climate Goals

11% of students are at risk in 4th and 5th grade for behavior and according to student surveys 23% of students agree that their teacher does not know how to control the behavior of the class. The pattern is most common in the upper grades . We believe the problem is a result of lack of knowledge, consistency and teachers having high expectations for student behavior. A strategy for improvement is school-wide professional development.


By using 2020 CAYCI (Community and Youth Collaborative Institute) data as a baseline, we will improve student relationship/feeling connected with adults at school by May 2021.


No Yes


1. Trauma informed practice
2. Deescalation techniques (Help/Prompt/Wait)

5. Implement 2nd Steps curriculum in Morning Meetings
6. Schedule time in master schedule
7. Pay for 1 behavior assistant to be 35 hours per week.
8. Behavior incentives for school wide PBIS


Using 2020 CAYCI data as a baseline, we will survey students again


Progress will be communicated to stakeholders after winter benchmark testing in school newsletter and with the PTA and SCC.

Some of our TSSA funding is dependent on Title 1 funds that are available.  If we have additional funds available we would spend funds on technology, both hardware and software, supplies, professional development, substitutes,  increased interventionist hours and behavior incentives.
