School Plan Description: |
| 3. a |
What will be done and how the money will be spent to improve student academic performance. |
| |
Reading: Purchase additional books for the library.
Reading: Improve reading skills by providing reading intervention.
Mathematics: Improve math skills by providing math intervention.
|
| 3. b |
Specific goals for student improvement. |
| |
New School
We will provide an early morning reading and math intervention program.
Classroom teachers meet with small groups of students one half hour before
school for specific intervention sessions.
Off-track teachers are brought in to teach small groups of students who
struggle in reading and math during their off track times.
Off-track teachers will be brought in to do testing to assure students are
progressing adequately.
Purchase additional Library books to supplement the start up budget for media
books. |
| 3. c |
How academic improvement will be measured or assessed. |
| | End of level testing data
Classroom curriculum assessments
At the beginning of next DIBELs or other reading testing will be conducted on
each student.
Midyear and end of year assessments will provide progress and instructional
modification information
Success Maker data
|
| 3. d |
If distributed funds are greater than estimated, the school will spend the money to implement goals as follow: |
| | We will use the funding to buy additional libray books for our new library. |
| 4 |
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. |
| 5. |
How the school is implementing the 2008-2009 Plan and how the school LAND Trust money is being spent. |
| | Buffalo Point Elementary used $15,000 of Trust Lands funding to supplement the
purchase of library books for the Media Center. This money has helped
supplement
the budget Buffalo Point was allocated as a new school. The school will
continue
to use funding to build the number of books in the library this next year also.
We implement school Reading and Math clubs. Teachers have invited students that
need extra help in Reading and/or Math. Those students can come early 8:00 to
8:30 or stay after school 3:30 to 4:00 for small group instruction and help.
The
teachers use diagnostic tests and information to be sure that their instruction
is meeting the needs of those students that are in the small groups. Our goal
is
to have groups of 3 to about 10 students for this intensive instruction. We use
Trust Lands funds to pay teachers for this extra tutoring time. The balance of
the funding used this year will go toward this effort. The school didn\'t get
this program implemented until the middle of the year. We will also use some
funding to pay for the choir teacher. Music instruction has been shown to
increase math acheivement. Students can also come to school early or stay late
and work in the Success Maker Lab with the district ILS. Teachers supervise and
help students advance in this program. |
