Teacher and Student Success Plan
2023 - 2024
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.

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 adjust the goal and continue working to achieve consistent improvement. This year we had 76% on track 1st quarter and 63% on track in 2nd quarter and 65% in 3rd quarter. We have about the same as last year 1st term while 2nd and 3rd terms are about 8% better than the previous year. The pattern across subgroups is similar.
Attendance - 80% 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.
