The Challenge

Eagles ’ Nest Intermediate School will : increase student achievement in math by 10% in AIMS testing 10% increase in Galileo reading and math quarterly benchmarks Provide professional development to promote effective teaching instruction use of technology (strategy 1) within the math curriculum student-led project-based learning opportunities (strategy 2) Effective instruction: 80% student led, project based math learning; 20% direct instruction by the teacher:

When doing weekly data walks in Eagles ’ Nest classrooms,: -80% of classrooms have a decrease in direct instruction, and an increase in student – led engagement/ projects. -students collaborating in groups with a common goal -students to student or student to teacher voices are heard -Interactions between teacher and student are reciprocal, not one-sided.

90% of the teachers will gain new curriculum, instruction and assessment Information and knowledge (18 out of 20 teachers) 80% of the teachers will integrate the new knowledge and information into their curriculum and assessment methodology (16 out of 20 teachers) 80% of the teachers will apply the new knowledge and information through new pedagogy (16 out of 20 teachers).

Goal: 100% of ENIS students meet or exceed in math as measured by the 2014 AIMS; 100% of ENIS are highly engaged in math learning 80% of the time.

The ALP Process

 Principal Mentor  Stipends for Leadership Team  Data Walks and Digs  Horizontal and Vertical Alignment  Common Core

 Intersession  After AIMS Testing  Decrease in Direct  Instruction  Activity Oriented

 Student Led  Direct Instruction- decreased  Teacher Behavior-letting go of old routines  Student Behavior- classroom management

Native Innovations Appropriate use of technology Exploration & Experimentation Beyond Textbook PD (Districtwide) Awareness and Information (Year 1) Integration (Year 2) Implementation (Year 3)

The Impact

 80:20 Ratio Instructional Strategies  Projects  Extended Learning  Intersession  Tutoring  Observations  Extending Learning Day

Native Innovations Technology Integration Participation- job embedded Satisfaction- high approval; demand for more Observational Change Beyond Textbook PD Series Content- common core; standards-based Participation- all, few excused Satisfaction-high Observational Change

Galileo Benchmarks (10% increase) Math [Pretest(instructional effectiveness) to Benchmark 3]  Trends Projection
