Teacher and Student Success Plan
2022 - 2023
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 and action plans are 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 explicit vocabulary, word walls, 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
Student Attendance had improved in all categories over the past years until we hit COVID. While as the pandemic continues to impact our attendance, the patterns are similar across subgroups. After some discussion we decided to stay with the same goal and hope that we can achieve more consistent improvement. This year we had 77% on track 1st quarter and 55% on track in 2nd quarter. We were 10% off from previous 1st terms and 2nd term was 20% below the previous year. The pattern across subgroups is similar.
Attendance - 85% of our students on-track each quarter with attendance.
We define on track as students missing less than 10% (green and yellow).

School Climate Goals
Behavior--We would like to be more strategic and improve the visibility of student rewards and recognition through using PBIS rewards. 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.
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.
4 survey questions:
Adults at my school listen to my thinking and understand my concerns.
My teachers know my name and know something about me.
I have friends at Butler Middle School.
I know an adult at school I can talk with if I need help.
