5. Plan description

1. Teachers will utilize the TIPS (Test Item Pool System) to direct instruction and lesson plan development in the language arts and mathematics standards. 2. Teachers will use the results of their technology evaluation from UEN to choose professional development classes that will increase their skills and ability to teach their students technology (i.e., digital cameras, software programs, internet search engines, etc.) 3. The use of such equipment as mentioned above will be to increase students' knowledge and ability in areas applicable to Language Arts and mathematics. Students will use AR to increase their abilities to decoding and reading comprehension. We will be researching software programs that will support the writing process and math skills, specifically critical thinking and problem solving. Teachers will provide keyboarding instruction and practice. 3. Teachers will teach appropriate use of calculators. 4. We were able to upgrade our computer lab last year. Updated computers now allow teachers and students more time that can be spent improving knowledge and technological skills. 5. Teachers will become familiar with an ILS Program to help individualize instruction in the areas of math and reading.

6. Report description

• Explanation of implementation and progress
  

  Based on data from the CRT and our Adequate Yearly Progress Report, progress is clearly being made. The AYP report for 2003-2004 shows 82% of our students proficient in language arts and 75% proficient in mathematics. Students who did not achieve proficiency based on CRT data in language arts, are presently receiving interventions as identified using the Early Success and Soar to Success programs.Students who did not achieve proficiency based on CRT data in mathematics, are receiving classroom interventions provided by teachers and volunteers.
• Measurement of student improvement
  

  Relative to the district average, Bountiful Elementary CRT scores increased significantly in Mathematics from 2005 to 2006 with an average gain of 1 point. These gains resulted in Bountiful Elementary students posting averages that exceed the district average at grades 1, 3, and 6 on 2006 Math CRTs. Most notable were gains posted by students in grade 6 where the student average moved from 6 points below the district average to 1 point above. In math, average scores ranged from 66% to 87%. In 2006 Language, when compared to the district average, Bountiful Elementary scores remained about the same overall. There were some declines in grades 1, 2 and 4 in language that will require additional instructional attention. Strong gains, however, were posted by students in language grades 3, 5, and 6 with average scores all above the district average. In language arts average scores ranged from 76% to 83%. In 2006 Science, student scores improved noticeably from 2005 with an average gain of 4 points in Science 4-6. At grade 5, students outscored the district by 3 percentage points. Scores in grade 6 moved from 11 points below the district in 2005 to equal to the district in 2006, an 11 point gain in performance.
• Impact of funds on students
  

  We purchased computers for a second student lab to facilitate the use of ILS to increase student opportunities for practicing in reading and math. We paid for books to be used in classrooms as an addition to class libraries. We also paid for someone to give students extra time in the computer lab.
