Teacher and Student Success Plan
2024 - 2025
Overarching Goal
Altara's overarching goal will be to increase student proficiency in ELA using Acadience assesments to track progress. We will focus on Maximizing Opportunities to Respond and Structured Classroom Discussion supported with prioritized scheduling.
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:
We met as an SCC on Jan. 19, 2024 to start preliminary discussions about our TSSP for next year. Their input was solicited. We continued the discussion on Feb. 9, 2024. We shared data from this school year's fall and winter assessments on March 8, 2024 to show where we were at currently, as well as displayed data from last spring to look at trends. Teachers shared their observations about student learning and how they as a staff supported the goals and expenditures. The SCC parent members asked clarifying questions and supported the expenditures. We finalized our discussion on March 8, 2024 and signatures were solicited.

Academic Goals
Altara met our reading goal in several grades last year, but not all. Our scores from spring of 2023 were:
-In kindergarten, 83% of students were on benchmark (goal was 88% of students in Kindergarten will be on benchmark as shown by scores on NWF-CLS (nonsense word fluency - correct letter sounds)
-In 1st-3rd grades, 72% of students made typical or better growth (goal was 70% of students in grades 1-3 will meet typical or above typical growth on Oral Reading Fluency.)
-4th and 5th graders met their goal with 22% (goal was that 15% more students in grades 4-5 will score on the advanced or proficient level on RI (Reading Inventory) by the Spring of 2023 than score on advanced or proficient levels on the Fall 2022 assessment.
We want to make it more consistent across the grade levels as well as looking at both proficiency and growth rate. We feel that focusing on Structured Classroom Discussion and Maximizing Opportunities to Respond will help our students meet the goal. We want to continue utilizing MTSS assistants as their support is valuable.

Acadience Measurements: Kindergarten—NWF-CLS; 1st—NWF-WWR; 2nd-5th—ORF
Increasing teachers' skills in the evidence-based instructional priorities of Maximizing Opportunties to Respond and Structured Classroom Discussion will scaffold and support our students with disabilities. We will also have our teachers meet in skill-based groups daily with students with disabilities. We will monitor implementation progress and student learning with the Acadience progress monitoring assessments as well as teacher observations.
We will reflect on World-class Instructional Design and Assessment data in PLCs and identify scaffolds that allow all students to participate in SCD. We will focus on all students participating with Opportunities to Respond. In addition, Altara will have a district-funded assistant to work with English Learners and targeted skills.
After each assessment period (October, February, and May) the data will be shared with PTA and SCC as well as our teachers.

Academic Goals
Last year, Altara came very close to meeting their goal of 80% of students at benchmark using acadience assessments. In May of 2023, Altara's math scores showed 77% of students were proficient. This year we'd like to include the growth component as well as proficiency. We know that doing systematic progress monitoring will help us track progress and drive instruction.
In math, 80% of students will show grade-level Proficiency or typical or better Growth on Acadience Math composite by May of 2025.

Mastery of core standards and progress in Math will be measured by the Acadience assessments.
Providing MTSS assistants to work with teachers and students will scaffold and support our students with disabilities. We will monitor implementation with Acadience progress monitoring assessments as well as teacher observations. Students with disabilities will also have access to the digital software that meets them at their current level and is adaptive.
Providing MTSS Assistants to support math learning as well as a software program will scaffold and support our Multi-Lingual students as well. We will reflect on World-class Instructional Design and Assessment data in PLCs and identify scaffolds that allow all students to improve. In addition, Altara will have a district-funded assistant to work with English Learners and targeted skills.
After each assessment period (October, February, and May) the data will be shared with PTA and SCC as well as our teachers.
