After reviewing the data, the Guiding Coalition identified the following needs: social/emotional learning environment.
The need to improve instructional practices through collaboration and reflective
feedback,
The need to improve student achievement in Reading and Mathematics,
The need to increase student engagement, and
The need to provide a safe and nurturing academic and social/emotional learning
environment.
Our Guiding Coalition determined that these needs would direct the Priorities for our 2021-2022
School Improvement Plan. The Guiding Coalition and parents worked collaboratively to create
our Ready for Learning Plan and Parent’s Guide to the Ready for Learning Plan.
Goals:
1. To increase the percentage of teachers receiving ratings of “Highly Effective” on TESS Indicators 1e (Designing Coherent Instruction), 2c (Managing
Classroom Procedures), 3c (Engaging Students in Learning), and 4d (Participating in a Professional Community) by at least 20% as measured by
administrative observations documented in EdReflect for the 2021-2022 school year.
2. To increase the percentage of kindergarten-fifth grade students performing at the Average, High Average, and High proficiency levels by at least 20% in
Reading and Mathematics as measured by the 2021-2022 NWEA MAP Growth Fall, Winter, and Spring Assessments.
3. To increase student engagement as measured by at least a 10% reduction in the number of students receiving Office Referrals during the 2021-2022
school year.
4. To ensure that students, staff, and parents/guardians work collaboratively to provide a safe and nurturing academic and social/emotional learning
environment as measured by a 20% reduction in the number of students who are chronically absent and/or are chronically tardy and a 10% increase in the
number of parents/guardians participating in conferences in the 2021-2022 school year.ie

scored in “Low” or “Low Average” in Reading and 71% (165 of 233) students scored “Low” or “Low Average” in Mathematics.
An Analysis of the NWEA Map Growth Fall K-2 Reading Fluency Screener results indicated that 65.3% (51 of 78) students were “flagged” by the
Dyslexia Screener.
An analysis of the NWEA Map Growth Fall K-5 Reading and Mathematics Assessment results indicated the following:
