5. Plan description
As part of our ongoing effort to improve teaching and learning in the area
of reading/language arts, Naples School will use its share of School Land
Trust funds to purchase the following: leveled books, teacher resource
books, and other language arts materials for classrooms; supplies to
support
the implementation of balanced literacy; and professional development to
support ongoing improvement of teaching and learning.
|
6. Report description
- Explanation of implementation and progress
As part of our ongoing effort to improve teaching and learning in the area
of reading/language arts, Naples School teachers identified leveled books,
teacher resource books, and other language arts materials - for classrooms
and for our leveled library - to enhance teaching and learning. We spent
less than we had anticipated on professional development - the costs of
which were covered by K-3 Reading Initiative funds - and on supplies, and
then
used the balance to purchase additional reading/language arts books.
|
- Measurement of student improvement
Teachers measured academic improvement by analyzing a variety of measures,
including - but not limited to - informal reading inventories, running
records, DIBELS, and NWEA. State CORE assessments will be analyzed to
determine progress made through the school year.
|
- Impact of funds on students
The School Land Trust program funds have allowed students access to a much
richer collection of reading/language arts books and materials than they
would otherwise have been exposed to.
