Trust Lands money will be used to purchase books to increase our AR Reading program which in turn help in our goals for reading.Teachers will match new reading materials to state core and coordinate with grade level to make sure students get continuing instruction in reading for the federal five.We have hired a part time person to manage the flow of library books in and out of the library so students have access to these books.
Doxey Elementary followed the plan established by the community council as described above. We have purchased books for the library for upper grades. We have also purchase testing material and books for our Accelerated Reader Program. We will be purchasing books on tape to address other students needs.

The goals in 2006-2007 were as follows: Reading: Based on CRT and IOWA data we will improve students' reading comprehension skills. Writing: Based on CRT, IOWA, and Direct Writing Assessment data we will improve students' writing skills. Mathematics: Based on CRT and IOWA data we will improve Students' math procedural skills. patterning/relational and measurement skills Mathematics: Based on CRT and IOWA data we will improve Students' patterning and relational mathematical skills. Mathematics: Based on CRT and IOWA data we will improve Students' measurement skills. Using CRT results, we compared 2007 to 2008 for Reading and Math. In reviewing the data of the CRT's we noted that in the area of comprehension our scores for grades 3 thru 6 marginally improved. In grade levels 1 and 2 we will continually address the need for improvement. In the area of writing all grade levels were within close range of the district average. In the area of Math all grade levels were within the range of the district average. In comparing the math averages all grade levels increased on both the CRT and IOWA tests. 2008-2009 We will continue to focus on the Language Arts and Math CORE concepts that our CRT data indicate we need to work on. We will work to develop parental invovlement and provide a safe environment at our school by effective communication, parent nights, and Peace Builder curriculums.

Doxey Elementary increased the number of students scoring proficient in each subpopulation by: Language scores: Caucasian subgroup which performed 1% higher Hispanic subgroup which performed 11% higher Economically disadvantaged students performed 4% higher LEP subgroup which performed 7% higher Students with disabilities performed 12% higher Math scores: Caucasian subgroup which performed 6% higher Hispanic subgroup which performed 13% higher Economically disadvantaged subgroup which performed 4% higher LEP subgroup which performed 18% higher Students with disabilities subgroup which performed 19% higher
If additional money was approved and recieved we would use it to purchase more books and materials for the library.
The school followed the plan by purchasing tests and books for the Accelerated Reader program. The program is used to encourage students to practice reading independently and to increase student comprehension of what has been read. Independent reading is critical in developing student reading skills.
The Trust Lands Plan and School Improvement Plan are created together as one plan. Trust Lands is part of the School Improvement Plan.

Teachers received professional development in Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (DIBELS) as an assessment tool enabling them to better use the data to adapt and individualize their instruction. They received training on the Houghton-Mifflin reading program with the goal to enhance student learning. Teachers received training on the the "Step Up to Writing" program. ILS (SuccessMaker Math Concepts and Skills) custom courses have been set up for students to enhance their math skills and abilities.
Students are tested using DIBELS in September, January and March. Data gathered by our reading teachers is reviewed with each classroom teacher to help students reach benchmark levels. ILS (SuccessMaker) reports are given to teachers to review so they can target areas needing improvement for each student. Based on individual teacher request these reports are printed daily, weekly or bi-weekly (with a minimum of bi-weekly). A Course Report is also given to every teacher at the end of the term.
We would like to start purchasing document cameras, projectors and audio enhancement systems. Research shows academic gains in classrooms where audio enhancement systems are used.
This question is not applicable.
It is expected that the school will expend the carry over in 2009-1010, if not before, in support of school academic goals.
We used $2,407.00 for matching funds for the Technology Advancement Plan (TAP). The funds were used to purchase 4 document cameras and a projector.
