Please Click on the title "Target Group Improvement Plan" below to access a researched intervention plan that I have in place for struggling readers.
Check in #4 - Calendar, Monitoring Plan and Communication Plan
Indicate what will happen from September to June, 2015-16, in your plan. Include contact with Leadership, Advisory Team Meetings (you should create a group to oversee process), professional development, assessments, and any activities (ex: parent sessions, student meetings, etc.) First Trimester: *Initial meeting with parents and students from target group to discuss why we are taking a proactive approach. The hard data from SRI and AR will serve as evidence that we need to have interventions in place. This meeting will allow me to collect soft data that will be useful in helping me find root causes that will determine my approaches during my interventions. *SMART goal and its objectives will be made clear to parents of the students in the target group. *Key roles for all stakeholders will be clearly established to ensure success of the students in the target group. *Calendar of data collection and analysis will be communicated to all stakeholders. *A calendar of interventions will be shared with all stakeholders. *Action plan will be implemented. *Necessary modifications will be made depending on whether or not students are making progress. *Celebrate successes every 6 weeks. Second Trimester: *SMART goal and its objectives will be revisited by all stakeholders. *Necessary modifications will be made depending on whether or not students are making progress. *Students will be able to articulate the progress they have made and what steps they have taken towards that progress. Celebrate successes every 6 weeks. Third Trimester: *Continue to closely monitor progress through data collection and analysis. *Continue to make any necessary adjustments that will help the intervention plan be more effective. *Celebrate that students are meeting their end-of-the year goal. List data to be gathered throughout the year to determine progress and guide adjustments. It can be weekly, monthly, biannually, yearly, etc. Hard Data: *AR Quiz Results (weekly) *STAR Test Results (every 6 weeks) *SRI (once at the end of every report card period: 3 times a year) *Weekly Fluency Paragraphs *End-of-the Week Assessments Soft Data: *Parent and Student Interviews *Anecdotal Notes Gathered Through Small-Group Instruction *Finding Root Causes If I No Progress Describe how you will communicate progress with stakeholders (leadership, teachers, families and students). I will communicate with the students who are in the target group in person on a daily basis. I will communicate with parents via e-mail and in person during our scheduled parent-teacher meetings which will take place every 3 weeks up until December. After December these meetings will take place every 6 weeks. Some parents prefer to communicate through Schoology, a learning management system. I will communicate through Schoology if that is their preference. I will communicate our progress to our principal via e-mail every 6 weeks so that she is in the loop. 1. Describe how leadership, teachers, families and students will be involved in this process. What role will each play?
Leadership will play a very active role in this process because students will not be merely passive learners, but rather active participants in the creation of their learning experience. Teachers, families and students will be involved in this process as a team in which everyone involved has very important ideas and knowledge to contribute toward the success of the student. Each stakeholder will be held accountable and meetings will be held on a regular basis to ensure everyone has the support they need in order to meet previously agreed-upon expectations. Expectations will be clearly stated from the start so that all stakeholders know their responsibilities. Teachers will provide students, and their families, with resources that support the SMART goal and its objectives. Families will support their students as outlined on either the SST, 504 plan, IEP, or just a simple mini-contract that they co-create with the teacher. Students’ roles will include steps that help them achieve the objectives that support the SMART goal. Everyone will be held accountable to realistic responsibilities that will result in students achieving success. What are the interventions that you plan to implement based on your goals and objectives? Based on my goals and objectives the interventions that I plan to implement are as follows: Interventions for students, specifically focusing on a target group: Students will work on: *fluency through weekly fluency paragraphs *daily small-group instruction with the target group *developing comprehension question skills Interventions for faculty/staff: * training on how to use AR 360 * training on how to read/interpret data and how to use that data to decide on next steps Interventions for Families/communities: * workshops on how to interpret data that is being automatically e-mailed to them every time their child completes an AR quiz What type of support will be needed to carry this out? To carry this out, I will need a whole school year. Throughout the school year I will need professional development, and a support person I can contact, with regard to AR 360, SRI, mylexia.com and any other on-line resource available for developing reading skills. As far as materials, I will need the AR license to be renewed so that we can have continued access to it throughout the school year. |
