We will continue with the Accelerated Reader Program. We will purchase additional quizzes and library books for the students to check out. We will also increase the quality and number of incentives that we will offer the students for their reading success. We will offer a summer AR progarm at the school where students may check out books and take comprehension tests once a week. We will also purchase some math manipulatives for our students as we begin to phase in an additional area of focus with our students. Our committee's goals for student improvement are to facilitate and raise reading levels for all students, and to provide hands-on materials to further student understanding of math concepts. We will measure academic improvement in the following manner: Each teacher will set iindividual AR goals for students in 3 areas: 1. Average book level 2. Average percent correct 3. Points earned each trimester We will measure through TOPS reports for students and parents, and Summary and Growth reports for teachers.
10. How does this plan relate to the school improvement/strategic plan?
Our school improvement plan identifies three areas of focus: 1. Literacy 2. Numeracy 3. Citizenship This plan supports increased literacy and numeracy.
