3. Problem Analysis Evaluation Problem Identification Intervention Design and Implementation

4. Step 1: Problem Identification  1.7% (10 students) of LEP students are proficient on ELA section of CST’s  Proficiency for total school must be >33 %. Currently we are at 29.9%  EL goal is to increase LEP proficiency from 1.7% to 15% (Total of 88 students) Problem Identification

5. 3 Step 2: Problem Analysis  Many EL (PRP) students do not have basic foundations in language skills to attain proficiency  Students need to practice test taking strategies  EL (PRP) students need to score “P”AT 350 or above to increase total Proficiency pool of the school  Students need to be informed and motivated Problem Analysis

6. 3 Step 2: Problem Analysis (Cont’d)  If all 102 students were to attain proficiency we would achieve a 19.4% proficiency  To move from 1.7% proficiency to 15% we would need to move 78 students from Basic to Proficient and maintain the 10 students that are currently proficient  87% of the 102 targeted clustered group of students would have to be moved from Basic to Proficient Problem Analysis

7. 3 Step 3: Intervention Design and Implementation  Students are currently clustered for targeted intervention with various English teachers  Counseling with parents and student to motivate and inform of student progress  Put in Place CST practice every Tuesday during Class targeting specific CST questions Intervention Design and Implementation

8. 3 Step 3: Intervention Design and Implementation (Cont’d)  Boot camp and Incentives for Students  Individual informative counseling with student on current CST scores  EL Coordinator will meet with Proficiency Cohort weekly to discuss student progress on practice CST released questions, and Periodic Assessments as benchmarks Intervention Design and Implementation

9. Step 4: Evaluation  Periodic Assessments  Monitor if practice is being accomplished along with released CST questions  Improvement of number of correct answers by students on the CST released questions  CST scores Evaluation
