Teacher and Student Success Plan
2021 - 2022
Overarching Goal
To improve student and teacher outcomes through addressing attendance, behavior, and coursework.
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:
The BMS SCC meets on a monthly basis to review current data trends and discuss adjustments and ideas for the coming year. Ideas are presented to the SCC and the BLT in January and February. In March and April decisions about how to utilize the LandTrust monies and the adjust the goals were discussed and approved.

To improve student use of critical reading strategies and build student skill in reading complex texts, Butler Middle School will improve the quality and intentional use of literacy strategies (i.e. close reading and structured discussions) throughout the school year. To address the needs of our readers in ELL, SWD, and BB, we will intentionally add additional instructional support through Read 180, and individual classroom scaffolds.

We will implement Reading 180 with our resource reading course and implement a standard quarterly progress monitoring form and have a progress monitoring meeting with the academic coach and the SWD teachers each quarter with 80% of our SWD meeting expected growth for individual students. Prioritize coaching cycles with the SWD teachers and increase use of effective scaffolds in all classes within structured discussion and literacy strategies.
We will implementRead 180/System 44 in our ELS classes. We will also create a standard quarterly progress monitoring form and have a progress monitoring meeting with the academic coach and the ELL teacher each quarter with 80% of our ELL students meeting expected growth for individual students. Prioritize using visual representations and graphic organizers in all classes within structured discussion strategies.

To improve student use of critical thinking strategies throughout the problem solving process, Butler Middle School will emphasize teacher clarity strategies including data walls, rigorous assessments, and success criteria/objective trackers. With guidance from the math department, other departments will choose one math practice standard to focus on each month. To help with reteaching and support for students who need more time, we will have after school math help and will provide nutritional treats for students.

School Climate Goals
Behavior--As we have been more strategic and improved the visibility of rewards with PBIS rewards, we have seen a 20%-60% drop in monthly referrals. Data indicates that October is a high incident month. Also, we have more office referrals in the classroom with disruption and defiance. We want to continue making the reward system visible and create a Think Time structure that is more restorative.
Behavior - 85% of students will report feeling connected to school on targeted school climate survey each quarter. We will average the 4 data questions related specifically to connectedness from the survey.

School Climate Goals
Student Attendance has improved in all categories over the past years As a whole school last year we had 85% on track 1st quarter and 76% on track in 2nd quarter. This year we have 83% and then 63%. The pattern of improvement is in all subgroups. As we look at the various subgroups we are most concerned with SWD attendance and 8th grade.
Attendance - 85% of our students on-track each quarter with attendance.
We define on track as students missing less than 10% (green and yellow).
Whole School
All Grade Levels
SWD 85%
ELL 85%

Action Plan Summary: Increase the attendance of students by making attendance expectations more visible and explicit to students and parents systematically throughout the school year through Build a Bruin, Golden Bruin, and building capacity in student/teacher relationships. We will support the Golden Bruin rewards with lunch time activities. We will also need some additional office hours for our main office aides to assist with the tracking of Golden Bruin and Build a Bruin and other student recognitions.
