Proficiency: Two students in each class will move from well below or below benchmark to at or above benchmark in the Math Composite score.
In May, 60% of our students will be at benchmark or above benchmark in the Math Composite score according to Acadience End of Year Scores.
First:
Growth: By May of 2024, 75% of Midvale’s first graders will make typical or above progress in Math Computation as measured by Acadience Pathways of Progress.
Proficiency: Two students in each class will move from well below or below benchmark to at or above benchmark in Math Computation by the end of the year.
Second:

Special Education: By the end of May 2023 Midvale’s Students with Disabilities will grow 25% towards their benchmark goals as measured by NIF (number identification fluency ) in Kindergarten and in Computation in grades 1st -5th.

To increase the math computation and applied reasoning skills of our students, Midvale Elementary will focus on planning for the instruction of essential math standards, observations of their peers and planning days (substitutes for planning and observations $5,000 TSSP) prioritized math strategies using manipulatives (math manipulatives and books $2,000 TSSP) utilize adaptive math computer programs (Dreambox licenses $15,000 TSSP), and provide training and feedback for teachers.

All math goals to quantify student progress will be measured using Acadience Pathways of Progress and End of Year Benchmark reports. Baseline Pathways of Progress data is available after the Winter (2023) testing.
Baseline Benchmark data will be available in the Fall, and Winter (2023) and Spring (2024).

IEP goals will be shared/communicated with general education teachers in the fall. Special Education teachers will meet with Grade Level Teams monthly to analyze shared student data, and identify additional supports and scaffolding as necessary.

To meet the needs of our multi-lingual learners, a school-wide initiative to increase student talk during instruction (Structured Classroom Discussion) will be implemented in the fall, with ongoing professional learning throughout the year. Implementation of coaching for all teachers, data driven coaching cycles, classroom observations, peer observations, and continuous feedback will be a main priority.

Specific strategies include:
Teacher created structured sentence frames.
Intentional student partner assignments to increase oral language development.
Increasing numeracy skills and concepts of content through visuals, manipulatives and discussions.
Teacher knowledge of each multilingual student in their classrooms, noting proficiency, strengths, and areas of improvement from the WIDA reports. Intentionally plan robust scaffolds embedded in the enVision math program for language learners and our newcomers.

Progress will be shown through Acadience Pathways to Progress and presented at meetings held with BLT, Faculty, SCC after the Fall, Winter and Spring Benchmarks. Progress will also be shared via newsletters to community and during family conferences in September and February.

Proficiency: Two students in each class will move from below proficient/approaching proficiency to proficient on the end of year ELA RISE assessment.

Special Education: By the end of May 2024, Midvale’s Students with Disabilities will grow 30% toward benchmark goal as measured by PSF (phoneme segmentation) in Kindergarten, NWF-CLS (nonsense word fluency- correct letter sounds) in first grade and ORF -A (accuracy in oral reading fluency) in grades 2nd -5th.

To increase word recognition skills and language development skills of our students, Midvale Elementary will implement the designated curriculums (Wonders and 95% Core), incorporate strategies learned through LETRS training, focus on prioritized instructional strategies, including tier two interventions (hire eight tier two Interventionists $97,640 Land Trust) provide planning time and instructional coaching/peer observations/feedback for all teachers (substitutes for planning and observations $5,000 TSSP) School-wide student data folders (student folders $1,000 TSSP) will be introduced for students to track and take ownership of their learning. To ensure that all students have access to learning during brain booster time, and teachers have PLC time an extra art brain booster teacher ($18,000 TSSP) will be hired. In the spring of 2024, the building leadership team will meet outside of their contract time to plan for the next year (stipends $3000 TSSP).

Hire another Special Education teacher to assist in the large caseload of students and to minimize the numbers of students in a small group to address their specific needs while receiving their IEP minutes. (.5 of this teacher is coming out of the FTE budget with the Sped Department paying the other .5)

IEP goals will be shared/communicated with general education teachers in the fall. Special Education teachers will meet with grade level teams monthly to analyze shared student data, and identify additional supports and scaffolding as necessary.

Structured Classroom Discussion initiative school-wide to increase student talk will be implemented in the special education setting.

To meet the needs of our multi-lingual learners, a school-wide initiative to increase student talk during instruction (Structured Classroom Discussion) will be implemented in the fall, with ongoing professional learning throughout the year. Implementation of coaching for all teachers, data driven coaching cycles, classroom observations, peer observations, and continuous feedback will be a main priority.

Specific strategies include:
Teacher created structured sentence frames.
Intentional student partner assignments to increase oral language development.
Increasing background knowledge of content through visuals and discussions.
Teacher knowledge of each multilingual student in their classrooms, noting proficiency, strengths, and areas of improvement from the WIDA reports.
Year two implementation of the Wonders curriculum - become more familiar with and intentionally plan robust scaffolds embedded in the program for language learners and our newcomers.

Progress will be shown through Acadience Pathways to Progress/Proficiency reports as well as RISE testing results. presented at meetings held with BLT, Faculty, SCC after the Fall 2023, Winter 2024 and Spring 2024 Benchmarks. Progress will also be shared via newsletters to community, Parent Square communication, and during family conferences in September, 2023 and February, 2024.

Currently at Midvale Elementary, aggression incidents are the highest number of offenses that are reported. These incidents occur mostly during unstructured times. 244 incidents (as of 4.13.2022) have been documented this school year. We believe that this is due to the inability for many of our students to self regulate their emotions, and use appropriate social skills "in the moment". These events are most likely to occur during unstructured times during the day between the hours of 10:55 and 1:00 when lunch and recess starts.

Midvale will reduce the number of aggression office referrals by 10% in each term during the 2023-2024 school year. This will reduce the amount of time students are out of class and not engaged in learning.

To reduce student behavior that leads to Office Discipline Referrals involving aggression and to increase student time spent learning in classrooms, Midvale Elementary will maintain an additional MTSS assistant ($33,000 TSSP ) and hire an additional recess aide ($9,000 TSSP), focus on increasing our 4:1 positive to corrective feedback ratio in classrooms during the school day, increase opportunities for students to build community beyond their own classroom through buddy classroom activities, ($4,500 TSSP) use PBIS Rewards program ($2,350 TSSP) to recognize students for positive behavior, buy badges and lanyards for students( $1,750 TSSP) purchase student incentives for following school wide expectations, ($1,400 TSSP) and ($1,400 Land Trust).
Purchase books for the vending machines ($3,000 TSSP), Monthly CEO Traits awards ($500 TSSP for supplies), Principal’s 200 Club supplies ($1000 TSSP), provide Professional Learning on trauma informed practices ($1000 Removing Labels book TSSP) for support staff ($4,000 TSSP) for professional learning during off contract time) and provide the opportunity for students identified as high risk for externalizing/internalizing behaviors to receive services from our SEL team and behavior interventionists. Teachers will observe other teachers in classrooms and participate in coaching cycles around classroom management ($4,000 substitutes), and maintain supplies for wellness rooms and calm corners ($2,000 TSSP).

Use Discipline Dashboard to monitor ODR's that have been entered for aggression.
