Factors Contributing to the Success of Our Students

Instructional Practices Inventory An Increase in Student Engagement can be seen through the data collected during Instructional Practice Inventory Observations. Since 2011, we have shown an increase in all areas of student engagement.

Professional Learning Communities At Mountain View we have been participating in PLCs for five years now; following the PLC principles of DeFour. During PLC meetings teachers analyze data collected through the use of iStation, DIBELS, Acuity, WESTEST, and classroom assessments to drive the curriculum in the classroom and to identify the individual needs of students. Beginning transition into PLT’s; developing teacher leadership in research and best instructional practices.

Compelling Conversations and Assessments Teachers also participated in Compelling Conversations, where they look at Acuity Data to determine which CSOs need more focus and to look at individual student scores. Compelling Conversations helps teachers prepare students for the WESTEST. Assessments include the formative variety of teacher-made, Acuity, STAR, etc. and assessments within SPED elements.
