Simple and Systematic

Mission and Focus To inspire our students with a passion for learning, empowered to pursue their dreams confidently and creatively, while contributing to our community, nation, and world. Focus – depends on data, currently:  Improving Math Achievement  Improving Literacy for All  Building Relationships

Proactive Intervention(P.I.) + Response to Intervention(RtI) What are they and how do they work together to help more students achieve? *Achievement is defined by Annual Yearly Progress on FCAT and Student Grades

P.I. This begins with a core academic team’s early look at lagging indicators - student FCAT scores(AYP), previous year grades, attend., disc.  What AYP subgroup(s) are underperforming?  Why are they underperforming?  What to do about it?  When?  Working? If not What now? Semi Quarterly review by teams

RtI – School Wide and Team Response to Intervention is about providing good instruction and interventions to students based on their needs. Interventions are tiered, not students

RtI School-Wide The basis of RtI is good instruction for all(tier 1 interventions for all)

RtI School Wide cont’d Early Warning system – looking at grades, discipline, and attendance Gives you data on: – students to provide interventions for – students to reward

RtI School Wide cont’d Early warning system data Quarterly data review to determine school- wide interventions(programs)by SLT/DST Keep 5 B’s & discipline system Add PBS – for example: No C’s, less than 2 referrals, less than 4 absences = ability to listen to mp3 and seating preference during lunch.

RtI – Teams This is by nature a little more reactive Look at data semi- quarterly See which students are not being successful Provide them with interventions you do not provide for all (tier 2 interventions)

Tier 2 Interventions

Documenting Tier 2 Effectiveness Grades, attendance, discipline Scatter plot or class graph of grades Story behind the grade That is it - simple. Child study/RtI kicks in - in very few cases

Tier 3

Curriculum &Instruction Written (Core Curriculum) Intended (What you teach) Learned (What students learn) Continued use of FOCUS to inform our instruction (FAIR, SRI, used as well)

Professional Development Rigor & Engagement  AVID(Socratic Seminar,…….)  Small Group Instruction  Co-operative Learning  D.O.K. (evaluate ourselves & question stems)
