Focusing solely on instruction will not

help students in groups 2 & 3 succeed

A continuum of core, supplemental, and intensive support services which create and maintain safe and respectful environments in which: Teachers can teach Students can learn Parents and community partners can contribute Successful social, emotional, behavioral, and

learning outcomes are achieved

Learning Supports

District Team has been working this year to develop a systematic approach for addressing barriers to learning.

The current referral and follow-up process is fragmented and varies from building to building.

This fragmentation makes it difficult for stakeholders to consistently access supports, so that all students have equal access to supports.

Adelman and Taylor’s resource mapping process.

This work will help answer the third PLC question: “What do we do if they aren’t learning / or if they already have learned it?”

A long-term goal would be to determine the impact of this process on student learning as measured by attendance data, student achievement data, suspension data, grades, etc.

Learning Supports Background Information

Objectives: To develop (and implement during the 2009-2010 school year) a

district-wide standard operating procedure that can used by any district stakeholder to address concerns that they have about a student.

Improve efficiency of existing processes by improving flow and reducing waste.

Remove non-value added steps in existing processes. Ensure that we utilize the tools we have effectively.

To determine methods that will measure the effectiveness of this referral process.

To clarify the roles and functions of team members.

Goal = To implement the process in 100% of our buildings during the 2009-2010 school year.

SIP SEB Goal – Data Considerations

Implementation of schoolwide approach to Doing Our PARRT (refining the process used this year)

Creation of schoolwide procedures and specific lessons to teach those procedures in common area (what does PARRT look like in the hallway, cafeteria, etc.)

Doing Our PARRT assessment data (all teachers will be asked to give this assessment to their students next year)
