Teacher and Student Success Plan
2024 - 2025
Our overarching goal is for 80% of students to show typical or above typical growth in Reading and Math according to the Pathways of Progress in Acadience. Historically, our school has many students who enter the grade proficient on end of year Acadience Benchmark, so a proficiency goal does not reflect all of our students. For past three years, we have set a growth goal in both reading and math. By using a growth goal, we can monitor the progress of all students, specifically those students who will not meet benchmark proficiency and those students who reached year end proficiency in the fall of their grade level.
For the past two years, about half of the grades made our school goal in Reading. Specifically, we were concerned with first grade's lack of growth. The teachers are excellent and are using an evidence based curriculum and research based instructional techniques. We discovered this was an issue throughout our district in first grade growth. First graders were not mastering a specific skill that affected their oral reading fluency. In first grade, there are eight different assessments that are aggregated for a score. Some assessments are given once and the student is assumed to have mastered the skill. Our focus for first grade will be students mastering Nonsense Word Fluency- Whole Words Read. This is the skill right before Oral Reading Fluency. We expect to see more growth from first grade as we concentrate on students mastering this important skill.
Since we have not made our goal for the past three years, we have enough data to show that the goals have not been appropriate.
ELA Goals and data:
Our goal for kindergarten: 90% of all kindergarten students will be proficient at Nonsense Word Fluency Correct Letter Sounds (NWF-CLS) with a goal of 100% within 3-5 years.

At our January SCC meeting, we reviewed our progress on our TSSP goals. While our school is showing growth, we have not made our goal for the past three years in Reading and the past two years in Math. We all agreed that a more reasonable goal is needed with a plan for growth. At our February meeting, I shared the school growth for the current year at the midyear point. In Reading 61% of all students demonstrated typical or above growth. In Math, 72% of all students showed typical or above growth with two grades reaching year end goal. We discussed having a separate goal for kindergarten and first grade in reading. Everyone agreed to this based on school and district data. SCC asked that we ensure teachers are in agreement. At the February meeting, we also shared a proposed action plan with SCC. SCC was in agreement as long as we had teacher agreement. In March, our BLT met to develop the goals and finalize the action plan.
Kindergarten: 65%
First: 54%
Second: 60%
Third: 56%
Fourth: 66%
Fifth: 64%
School average: 61%
Kindergarten, fourth and fifth all have above 80% proficiency, so we are excited to see the growth in these grades too. Teachers have implemented progress monitoring with fidelity and have entered scores into Acadience. This has made our PLC (professional learning community) meetings more meaningful as we examine the data.
Last year, 88% of first graders were proficient on the Nonsense Word Fluency- Whole Words Read (NWF-WWR). By the Spring of 2025, 90% of all first grade students will be proficient in Nonsense Word Fluency- Whole Words Read (NWF-WWR) as measured by the Spring NWF-WWR assessment in Acadience.
Last year 69% of students in grades two through five made typical or above growth in ELA as measured by the Pathways of Progress. By the Spring of 2025, 71% of all students in grades two through five will show typical or above growth as measured by the Reading Pathways of Progress report in Acadience.

2. All students will be benchmarked using Acadience ELA (English Language Arts) assessment three times during the year. Students falling well below to below benchmark will be targeted for tier two reading instruction with a trained reading interventionist ($81,000)
3. We will align 95% intervention in Tier 2 with the intervention that the student receives in skill-based instruction in the classroom by providing communication between the interventionist and the teacher.
4. We will purchase 8 sets of Sound Wall Starter Pack for teachers in K-1 to use in skill based group time ($1,000).
5. We will replace missing pieces of the 95% intervention kits. ($3485.53)
6. By October 2024, all teachers will set a Pathway of Progress (Acadience) for their students in reading.
7. During PLC (Professional Learning Community) meetings, each grade level will meet to review Acadience benchmarking data, and progress monitoring to adjust their lesson planning. Teachers will make needed adjustments to the Pathway to Progress to ensure student growth.
8. There will be a separate PLC meetings each month or ELA (English Language Arts), Math and Data.
9. We will provide time in monthly PLC for teachers to examine students’ progress on the Pathway of Progress for each child. Teachers will also examine the monthly progress monitoring progress of each child to ensure that instruction and any interventions are helping the student progress.

1. All teachers, coach and Brain Booster technicians will be trained in August 2024 on “Student Engagement.” This training came from a “Teaching and the Brain” conference that several CSD principals attended in February 2023. This training will be in conjunction with three other CSD elementaries. These schools will bring a trainer to train teachers on strategies that engage all students but especially neurodiverse students. This training will provide more strategies for teachers to use in all subject areas. This is the second in a series of three training sessions. Our focus for the 24-25 school year is “Student Engagement” Trainer costs= $6500/4 schools= $1625
2. We will purchase Dreambox ($14,000) for students. It is an individualized online software program. It is aligned with the Utah Core standards in math and is an approved software program.
