to generate individualized interventions.  Mathematics:  To improve all students' Math
skills through the consistent implementation of Success Maker. Reading: To improve
students' Language Arts skills through the consistent implementation of Success Maker.
Writing:  To develop  specific grade level writing rubrics to be used to establish base
lines and monitor students' writing progress across the grades.	Reading:  To identify
students performing below competency in Language Arts in grades 2-6 and develop
individualized interventions.

5. a

This is a report of how the goals were achieved.

Our goals last year were focused on curriculum differentiation strategies, improving
students' writing, math and reading skills, increasing student listening and attending
skill, improving communication and promoting timely school attendance. Goal 1:  Meeting
Individual Needs The entire faculty praticipated in a 2-day training to learn about
using
curriculum differentiation strategies to better meet individual learning needs.  All new
staff was trained to use the ILS and AR for the purpose of individualizing curriculum.
Goal 2:  Improving Writing Skills The entire faculty was trained on Step-Up-To-Writing. 
Grade-level writing rubrics were completed and an individual tracking record has been
designed.  The faculty will be trained on implimentation Oct. '08. Goal 3: 
Computational
Math Grade-level computational standards were developed and shared with the faculty and
parents Fall '08. Goal 4:  Supporting Non-proficient Students in Reading Trustland,
Americor grants and donation monies were used to hire Reading assistants who provided
Type
III interventions for students identified as non-proficient in Reading. Goal 5: 
Improving
Communication The weekly Eagle's View was implemented with great success.   The webpage
was redesigned and activated.   The Comunity Council's efforts to invite area-specific
constituents to the monthly meetings were not productive. The monthly C.C. highlights
were
inconsistently (less than 50%) included in the newsletter. Goal 6:  Improving Timely
School Attendance The C. C. conducted an active attendance campaign from February-May. 
However, no sustainable improvements have been perceived.

The following is how the committee planned to measure/assess academic improvement.

Iowa Test of Basic Skills (ITBS), 1-3 Stanford Diagnostic Reading Test (SDRT), State
Criterion Referenced Tests (CRTs), Direct Writing Assessment.

6. a

This is a report on how academic improvement was measured/assessed.

Eagle Bay's proficiency levels exceed the AYP proficiency levels by 11 percentage points
in L.A. and 19 percentage points in Math.  This is a 3 percentage point decrease in L.
A.
and a 2 percentage point improvement in Math over last year's proficiency levels. All
statistically viable subpopulations achieved a positive designation.  Subpopulation
performance was as follows: Language Arts: Caucasian-89 (3 percentage point decrease)
Hispanic-73 (subpopulation last year was less than 10 ) Economically Disadvantaged-83 (5
percentage point improvement) Students with Disabilities-62 (unchanged from last year)  
Math: Caucasian-90 (2 percentage point improvement) Hispanic-73 (subpopulation last year
was less than 10) Economically Disadvantaged-79 (1 percentage point decrease) Students
with Disabilities-73 (14 percentage point improvement)

In the school plan, there was an opportunity to explain how additional funds, exceeding the estimated distribution, would be spent. The following is what was reported.

We would upgrade some of the hardware in the computer labs and allocate funding to develop
two outdoor classroom habitats that would support and enhance the Science curriculum.

7. a

This is a description of how the additional funds were spent.

Additional funds were obtained from AmeriCorp and a District Technology matching grant. 
The additional AmeriCorp funds were used to fund Reading Teaching Assistants and the
technology funds were used to purchase cartridges, head phones, cables, and switches.

This is how the plan relates to the School Improvement Plan.

The Trust Lands Plan and School Improvement Plan are created together as one plan. Trust
Lands is part of the School Improvement Plan.

Train new staff  to implement Success Maker and AR.		
Writing:  Finish developing  grade-level writing skills rubrics and train faculty in
"Step-Up-To-Writing".		
Reading:  Provide Type II interventions for all students performing below proficiency in
reading.		
Mathematics:  Develop grade-level math computational standards.  Improve math vocabulary of all
students through consistent direct instruction and regular use of UTIPS.

Planned Steps:
Describe in detail the steps Eagle Bay EL will take to reach each goal. Describe specific actions (Hire a remediation reading teacher, purchase microscopes for AP Biology class, provide professional development to improve writing instruction) that will be taken to achieve the goal. In short, please provide a road map to success.

Measuring Progress toward goals:
Which beginning and ending measurements is Eagle Bay EL going to use to measure progress towards each goal? The same measurement (test scores, number of library books checked out, informal teaching assessment, etc) must be used so results can be compared. What is the target to be achieved?

A.  Reading Goal:
In addition to CRT results, we will use DIBELs fluency rates, QRI results, UTIPS test results and
classroom assessments on specific Core standards to monitor targeted students' (those not meeting
proficiency) progress in Reading.  

B.  Math Goal:
Likewise in Math,  in addition to CRT results, we will use ILS gains, UTIPS test results and
classroom assessments on specific Core standards to monitor targeted students' progress. 

C.  Writing Goal:
To monitor students' progress in writing we are going to use grade-level writing rubrics across
grades 1-6.

D.  Science Goal:
In addition to CRT results, we are going to utilize UTIPS and classroom assessments on specific
Core standards to monitor student proficiency on Science standards in grades 4-6.

Plans for expenditures of increased distribution:
The 2008 - 2009 distribution is an estimate. If the actual distribution is more than the estimate, how will the school expand progress towards goals with an increased distribution? Please provide an adequate explanation of academic use so that it will not be necessary to go back to the school board for approval to expend an increased distribution.

The additional funding would be used to increase the hours of the Reading and Math TA's to support
additional students who are not meeting grade level  proficiencies.

How does this plan relate to the school improvement/strategic plan?

The Trust Lands Plan and School Improvement Plan are created together as one plan. Trust Lands is
part of the School Improvement Plan.
