Continuous Improvement Process

7.R.2.1 Students can interpret text using comprehension strategies. Learning targets to meet this standard:I can study or determine the relationship of the parts to the whole (interpret) by connecting, questioning, visualizing, determining importance, inferring, synthesizing, and monitoring for meaning (comprehension strategies). Examples: Determining the author’s purpose, cause and effect, compare and contrast, conclusions, facts or opinions, generalizations, graphics, hypotheses, inferences, supporting details, prior knowledge, or purpose for reading

Scientifically-based research strategies

Specific strategies determined for each content (reading/math) and each grade or grade cluster.

Specific to student growth.

Indicators to judge the effectiveness must be noted.

Assessments that track performance over time (baseline, mid-year, end).

School Improvement Plan

• Staff has clarity in regard to what students must know, understand, and be able to do.

• The interventions are timely and may require, rather than invite, students to evoke the extra time and receive the additional support for learning.

• The focus on results is critical to both the school’s system of interventions and their culture of celebration.

• Teachers use results to identify strengths and weaknesses in their individual practice, to help each other address areas of concern, and to improve their effectiveness in helping all students learn.
