7. 2010-2011 INITIATIVES K-5 Curricular Improvements (K-5): Development and implementation of Units of Study for Writing based on Lucy Calkin’s Writer’s Workshop Framework for grades K-5; Infusion of Standards Solution instructional resources within the district writing curriculum for grades 2-5; Integration of NJASK prep instructional resources within the language arts curriculum for both reading and writing; Enhancement of Everyday Math unit assessments to reflect skills assessed on NJASK; Weekly assessment of student mastery of basic math facts. District-wide Benchmark Assessments: NWEA Assessment (grades 3-5); District-Wide Quarterly Curriculum Benchmarks in Reading, Writing and Math (grades K-5) – revision made to better align with the NJASK. Student Instruction: Language Arts Tutorial; Math Tutorial Professional Development: Literacy Coach provided in-class coaching of teachers (grades K-5); Literacy Coach provided before and after school professional development for teachers (grades K-5); Follow-up training for Everyday Math ; Training with Standards Solution on effective test- taking strategies for the reading portion of the NJASK (grades 2-5); Training on using data to guide instruction in the classroom. Building Level Data Teams: (Student Support Teams) analyzed district data and created improvement plans for students identified as being at-risk.

16. As a result of NCLB, each state has developed a plan for the minimum levels of improvement in measurable terms of student performance that schools must achieve within the given time frames specified by the NCLB legislation. This is otherwise known as Adequate Yearly Progress or AYP. A district must pass all 41 indicators to receive AYP status. A district must pass all 41 indicators to receive AYP status.

66. Action Plan for 2011-2012 (K-5) Reader’s Workshop Training for Teachers of Grades 3-5: Collaborating with Rutgers University Graduate School of Education to offer ongoing professional development on teaching Reading using Lucy Calkin’s Reader’s Workshop framework – (shared reading, word study, guided reading, independent reading, book clubs/literature circles, literacy centers, DRA-2). Literacy Coach: Ongoing professional development on teaching reading and writing for teachers of grades K-5. NJASK Prep and Standards Solution Resources: Integrating resources within the language arts curriculum. NWEA: Using the data to identify students’ projected performance on the NJASK and to develop individual Action Plans to target needs of Basic Skills students. Study Island (Grades 3-5) and Reading Eggs (Grades K-2): Parent resource and additional instructional tool targeting skills assessed on the NJASK in the area of language arts and mathematics (grades 3-5) and overall literacy (grades K-2). Supplemental Educational Services: Collaborating with Smart Start “Smarties” to provide Lloyd Road students meeting federal criteria additional instruction in the area of language arts.

67. Action Plan for 2011-2012 (K-5) Additional State Aid: Purchased instructional resources for classrooms of grades 3-5 (classroom libraries; leveled readers for shared reading, guided reading, book clubs/literature circles; DRA-2); Hiring a Literacy Consultant to evaluate the language arts program. Summer STAR Program (Strategic Targeted Assistance in Reading): Program will target students exiting 1 st through 5 th grades who are reading below grade level as designated by district benchmarks. Quarterly Benchmark Measurements: Revised to reflect the NJASK. Tutorial Program: Targeting at-risk students in grades 3-5 in the area of language arts and mathematics. Everyday Math : Revised K-2 curriculum aligns with the Common Core State Standards; Revised Unit Assessments integrate skills assessed on the NJASK; Providing professional development for teachers of grades 3-5 on program changes as a result of the integration of the Common Core State Standards; Continue to monitor students’ mastery and automaticity of basic math facts (grades 1-5); Continue to monitor overall program.
