Teacher and Student Success Plan
2021 - 2022
Overarching Goal
On
average, sixty-nine percent of the Union Middle students are currently
able to demonstrate mastery of state core standards on our Union common
formative assessments. GOAL: 75% of students will maintain
proficiency on Union's common assessments in all subject areas through
May, 2022. (Scoring 70% or above on a common assessment will be
considered proficient.) This goal will be achieved through: the development
of high quality common comprehensive/unit assessments, purposeful
collaboration in Instructional Professional Learning Communities
(IPLCs), appropriate rigor (ready for end-of-level state assessments),
and frequency (at least one per quarter) - including data for English
Language Learners and students on Individual Education Plans - to
support student achievement.
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:
In March 2021, the School Community Council members reviewed data measuring progress on the academic and cultural goals contained in the 2021-22 TSSP.

Instructional Professional Learning Communities (IPLCs) will measure the percent of students proficient on Union Common Summative Assessments (based on state standards) for each unit across all content areas. We will also track progress on the Reading Inventory (RI), the Math Inventory (MI), RISE data, and WIDA scores (ELL Students).
Implement 5 Essential Practices, adapted for students with disabilities, as embedded in Tier 1 instruction in core classes. Student progress will be tracked through progress on assessments in core classes, Reading Inventory (RI), and Rise assessments.
Implement 5 Essential Practices for ELD with fidelity in ELD classes and in core classrooms. Student language proficiency will be tracked through WIDA, Read180 and System44, and progress monitoring in ELL classes. This implementation will help ELL's make gains on World-class Instructional Design and Assessment (WIDA) Tests, Reading Inventory, and state end of level testing, which in turn help students meet or exceed school proficiency goals.
IPLC teams will report progress to achievement coaches and administrators on their data team planning days. Student proficiency will be posted on the wall in the coaches' office and in the hallway. Throughout the year, we will share our progress with the School Community Council. School Community Council notes will be shared with all parents.

Feeling Connected Through Grade Level Teams
As a faculty, we are focusing on strengthening relationships between students and teachers on their grade level teams. Strong relationships with adults at school improves school attendance, increases student motivation, increases the sense of safety at school, and helps the student progress socially and emotionally. All of these factors increase the likelihood of academic success. These teams of teachers and counselors help to ensure that all students have equal access to curriculum and social and emotional supports. Where necessary, these teams create and administer individual and group behavioral and academic plans. They also plan team building activities and service projects to help students feel connected and part of a team.
Social/Emotional Supports for Students
We will hire a full time social worker to facilitate targeted groups - including restorative circles - and support students’ social and emotional well-being. $55,954.50
