GOAL 1: ACADEMIC FOCUS

ACPS BOARD GOAL: All Albemarle County Public Schools students will graduate having actively

mastered the lifelong-learning skills they need to succeed as 21st century learners, workers and citizens.

1.1 PLAN – Identify Focus Areas

What are our two most persistent achievement gap issues? Students that are in Gap Group 1. In 2016 - 17, there were XX students in this group. With the increased enrollment, we now have XX students in GAP group 1 in grades K, 1,2, 3, 4, 5. How will our compelling question work to close those gaps?

MATH is the focus area (works and haven’t tried?)

Outcome Goals-- What level of achievement for these two areas would we need to attain by the end of the school year to consider our goal for these gap groups met?

1. At least 80% of students passing the math SOL which is 66 out fo 82 students.

2. Increase Gap Group 1 SOL pass rate percentage from 38.7% (Spring 2017) to 51% (Spring 2018)- 24 out of 47 students.

3. For students below grade level in grades 3,4,5, MAP scores will show more than a year’s growth

Compelling Question: How can we find or create a balanced math diet that implements the most effective strategies and resources? Original— Revision One (If Needed)— Revision Two (If Needed)—

1.2 DO –Process/Strategies

What will we keep doing in 17-18? Identify specific learning strategies that made a positive learning difference for students in our gap groups as measured by student performance this past year.

Strategy Rationale

1. PLC work PDSA

2. Number Talks exposure to strategies for building vocabulary and strengthening mental math abilities and formative assessment

3.Differentiation in small groups individualized instruction and meeting students where they are

How will we close our two most persistent achievement gaps this year?

flexible grouping and adjustments based on ongoing data collection

What will we do differently in 17-18? Identify specific, new strategies to build collective efficacy and establish learning practices that will result in exponential gap group progress in 17-18.

Strategy Rationale

1. K - 5 Math Instruction for the implementation of strategies within Math Investigations

This places the greatest number of staff available to deliver math instruction with fidelity, fluid grouping, and differentiation to meet individual needs

2. Using ST Math as a teaching tool This complements the use of ST Math in independent stations and strengthens the development of conceptual understanding

3. Targeted math interventions Replicate intervention process used in literacy for students that need remediation as determined by formative and summative assessments.

Quarter One

1.3 STUDY – Expected Outcomes—If our processes and strategies are successful, what measureable outcomes would we expect to see by the end of the first quarter of the school year? What will we use to measure these results?

Q1 Outcome Goals Common assessments used to measure outcome goals

1. At the end of the first quarter, at least 40% of Gap Group 1 students will perform within the proficient or advanced projection band.

1. Assessments: Biweekly Illuminate Quick Checks, Intervention Progress Monitoring, Investigations Checkpoints, NWEA MAP

2. At the end of the first quarter, 60% of all 3/4/5 students will perform within the proficient or advanced projection band.

2. Assessments: Biweekly Illuminate Quick Checks, Investigations Checkpoints, NWEA MAP

1.4 STUDY—Results and Analysis—what results have we seen from our data collection at the end of quarter one and what have we learned from our data? How has our staff been involved in the analysis process?

What results have we seen from our data collection?

Grades 3,4,5 Gap Group 1 = 51% Proficient (24 out of 47 students) according to Fall NWEA MAP Math Assessment Data for Full Population 3rd Grade = 47% Proficient / Advanced 4th Grade = 68% Proficient/ Advanced

Page 4 of 17

5th Grade = 71% Proficient/ Advanced 3rd, 4th, & 5th Grades = 62% Proficient or Advanced Projection (51 out of 82 students)

What have we learned from these results? Showed a number/number sense unit was successful because student scores were strongest in that strand. But, how do we maintain that strength as work begins in other strands? Formative and summative assessments show significant needs in grade 3 cohort, so we are targeting resources with this group- classroom teacher, math interventionist, and SPED inclusion.

How has our staff been involved in the analysis process?

PLCs have reviewed this data with the math interventionist principal and data coach to craft next steps instruction. 1/2 PLC met with our math interventionist to discuss regrouping to meet students’ needs based on SNAP & ACAMB data. Ongoing conversations to monitor pacing while also making time for spiral review and remediation.

1.5 ACT – Make Adjustments—Based on our quarterly data analysis, what adjustments will we make to our strategies and/or data collection plans?

1. Coaches are planning to provide PD for this in the 2nd Quarter for using ST Math as a whole group and/or small group teaching tool.

2. Creating games that spiral the number / number sense concepts and skills.

3. Build into number talks the review of number / number sense concepts and skills. 4. Continue to monitor and adjust groups of targeted students for core plus interventions based on need. 5. Added in number sense routines as an additional instructional support for targeted group of 1st/2nd grade students 6. Continue to utilize two instructors for the grade 3 cohort, including our math interventionist. 7. Provide ST Math progress reports to teachers biweekly. Discuss alerts. Encourage family involvement via ST Math at home.

NWEA Mid-Year MAP Assessment Illuminate Mid-Year Assessment of Taught Curriculum

3. 68% of all students (K-5) will be at grade level as tracked by report cards.

SNAP, ACAMB, Investigations Checkpoints, ST Math Progress Reports, Biweekly Illuminate Quick Checks, NWEA MAP

4. 70% of all 3/4/5 students score at least 63 % pass on the Mid Year Math Assessment.

Teacher made Illuminate Mid-Year Math Assessment of taught curriculum

2.4 STUDY—Results and Analysis—what results have we seen from our data collection at the end of quarter two and what have we learned from our data? How has our staff been involved in the analysis process?

What results have we seen from our data collection?

Mid-Year MAP Data for Full Population 3rd Grade = 37% Proficient / Advanced 4th Grade = 71% Proficient/ Advanced 5th Grade = 57% Proficient/ Advanced 3rd, 4th, & 5th Grades = 54% Proficient or Advanced Projection ( 44 out of 82 students) Mid-Year MAP- Data for Gap Group 1 3rd Grade = 28% Proficient / Advanced 4th Grade = 62% Proficient/ Advanced 5th Grade = 33% Proficient/ Advanced 3rd, 4th, & 5th Grades = 39% Proficient or Advanced Projection (18 out of 46 students) 73% of all students are performing “on-level” as tracked by report cards 55% of 3/4/5 students scored at least 63% on the Mid Year Math Assessment.

What have we learned from these results? We were 8 students away from reaching our mid-year GG1 goal of 55% using MAP. We were 12 students away from reaching our mid-year goal of 68% for the full population of 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders using MAP. We were 13 students away from reaching our mid-year goal of 70% for the full population of 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders using Illuminate assessments of the taught curriculum. Mid-Year MAP and Illuminate results were very similar - projected 54-55% pass rate. We are concerned that only 13% (2 out of 15 students) of our GG1 fifth graders reached the Illuminate cut score of 63%. Fourth grade is looking good- What are we doing? One classroom teacher, TA supporting specific students throughout lessons/activities, core plus intervention group using Do The Math Fifth grade is excited to have A. Summers back from maternity leave. The students who decreased from proficient to basic were working with the long-term sub during Q2. In the future, consider long-term sub groups very carefully. Pass percentages are higher on quick checks and unit assessments than on cumulative standardized assessments. We are trying to pinpoint if this is a matter of stamina or due to the cumulative nature. We are reporting more students as “on-level” on report cards than we are seeing “proficient” on cumulative standardized assessments. (ex. 77% on report cards vs. 55% on Mid-Year Illuminate in grades 345)

How has our staff been involved in the analysis process?

Each grade band met as a PLC to discuss mid-year data. PLCs examined data, discussed celebrations, and brainstormed ideas for improvement versus which pieces we need to stay the course. Teachers examined item analyses from quizzes, tests, and cumulative to focus reteaching. Teachers discussed students who are “almost there” and what we can do to get them to proficiency/mastery of standards. Teachers worked on pacing guides to be proactive in making sure they teach and have time to reteach as needed the Virginia standards. Teachers are working hard to fill gaps in the Investigations curriculum.

2.5 ACT – Make Adjustments—Based on our quarterly data analysis, what adjustments will we make to our strategies and/or data collection plans?

1. Multi-age grouping for grade 1-2 math was not working. Teachers have re-organized so that Holly Shiflett and Tim Howeth will teach 1st grade math, while Tina Bolen and Jen Hilker will teach 2nd grade math. Jen will provide tiered interventions from 8:30-9:30.

2. Continue the use of “Windshield Check” formative assessments in grades 1-2 to identify specific misunderstandings and needs for strategies. Encourage students to think-aloud their strategies.

3. Continue to utilize classroom teacher, math interventionist, and special education inclusion in third grade math block. A new schedule started on February 5th to increase third grade math by 10 minutes daily- 11:30-12:50.

4. Welcome and support A. Summers as she transitions back from maternity leave. We expect to see increased gains in fifth grade math now that she is back.

5. Continue what’s working in fourth grade! Page + Durrette + Hilker’s Intervention Group

6. Add third grade math vocabulary intervention group with Hilker

7. Stay the course with Number Talks, ST Math, and Investigations 3.

8. Continue fifth grade Do The Math intervention group with Lindella (TA).

9. Use Backwards Planning Standards Alignment tool and Learning Targets to increase alignment, formative assessment, and feedback. Make sure we are accounting for every bullet listed in the curriculum frameworks.

10. Released Items tests are scheduled for March 15th to be followed by reports of which students are lacking mastery of which standards. These reports will be used to guide our Q4 instruction.

11. Our math interventionist now services the 13 students who were just below the cut score on the Mid-Year Illuminate assessment.

12. Teachers plan to share data with students to develop greater sense of student self-efficacy, to help them see that their efforts are paying off.

13. Teachers are scheduling conferences with parents as needed to foster collective efficacy.

14. ST Math PD on March 1st

What have we learned from these results? The fraction/decimal units are significant areas for continued improvement.

How has our staff been involved in the analysis process?

Examining students scores and item analyses and PLCs.

3.5 ACT – Make Adjustments—Based on our quarterly data analysis, what adjustments will we make to our strategies and/or data collection plans?

1. Adjust the focus of after school tutoring based on most recent data. Include additional experiences to foster conceptual understandings of fractions and decimals as appropriate to grade level. Fifth grade tutoring by veteran teacher/math expert. (This is in addition to the fifth grade intervention during the school day provided by one of our TAs.)

2. Adjust the focus of intervention group instruction based on most recent data. For third grade interventions, this includes a lot of vocabulary- the language of math. We found that many of our third graders were not understanding what the questions were asking.

3. Maximizing our resources in fifth grade. While the JMU student teacher provides universal and routine small group instruction, our veteran teacher is able to pull individuals or small groups for specific strategy instruction based on the item analyses.

4. Continue TA support during fourth grade math and fifth grade intervention.

5. Continue to emphasize the importance of student discourse in mathematics via walkthrough feedback and PLCs.

What have we learned from these results? Although not significantly, student connection is dropping rather than increasing. Although the difficult and inconsistent schedule during the 3rd quarter could be a factor we need to hear more detail from students and highlight positive factors.

How has our staff been involved in the analysis process?

C3 committee review, each PLC has a representative provides input and feedback to their teams.

4. Review of all safety-related disciplinary infractions that include defiance, disruption, disrespect.

Discipline referrals for Qrt. 3: Total referrals: 22 Safety - related referrals: 13 = 59% No significant change in discipline referrals from the 3rd to 4th quarter, 23 to 22 and 54% to 59% with the same amount of safety related infractions and one less overall referrals. School climate continues at the same level regarding safety and disciplinary issues. Discipline issues amongst older students has diminished, while a few more issues with younger students has increased, including a child that is new to the school. One child had 6 disciplinary issues. With interventions and new TDT support, his discipline issues have almost diminished to zero.
