School LAND Trust Program

This question is not applicable.

This question is not applicable.

We will continue to use trust land funds to provide teachers with
the

instructional tools they require.  We plan to add to classroom
leveled

libraries, increase the number of books in our building library, and
set
aside funds to purchase math manipulatives.  We will offer
professional
development in differentiation, use of math manipulatives, and
instructional
interventions

for students having difficulty with the
reading process.

We spent Trust Land Funds on purchasing leveled libraries for each grade level,
and increased the number of books in the school media center.  We also purchased
some of the needed math manipulatives.  Teachers have also attended professional
development sessions on differentiated learning, instructional interventions in
the reading process for struggling students, and use of math manipulatives. 

Students will demonstrate mastery of Utah Core Curriculum in language
arts

by showing growth in the number of students reaching grade level
reading

skills in fluency, phonemic awareness, and phonics by 5% as measured
by

those reaching DIBELS benchmarks.  Students will demonstrate mastery
of

Utah Core Curriculum in math by showing growth on quarterly
math

assessments

and reaching a score of at least 70% on each post test.
 They will also

demonstrate mastery of basic math computation facts.

While our students continued to show improvement in the language arts part of
the Utah CORE Curriculum, we did not achieve the goal of an increase of 5% of
students reaching DIBELS benchmarks.  In the math area, students demonstrated
mastery of basic computation through performance on classroom assessments, they
also increased in the number of students reaching 70% mastery on quarterly
benchmarks. 

We will measure academic improvement through use of the CRT,
Granite

District Quarterly Math Assessment, and DIBELS.  We also intend to
develop

an efficient method for tracking the independent reading of our
students

and plan to measure student mastery of math facts.

Academic improvement was measured by comparing scores on previous CRT and
Quarterly Math Assessments with scores from this current year.  Also the DIBELS
history of benchmark scores was compared for each student to determine the
number reaching benchmarks.  

We will use additional funds to expand our efforts in improving instruction
through the purchase of teacher tools and providing professional
development.  We are also seeking opportunities to provide students better
access to quality literature through expanding our building and classroom
libraries.

Additional funds were spent to provide professional development in
differentiation of instruction.  Also funds were spent to provide aides to
teachers needing help with lower achieving students.   

This plan supports the instructional efforts of our teachers to more
adequately provide students the skills they need to be successful in
reading and math.
