The selection, and continuous evaluation, of research-based, scientifically validated, Interventions designed to improve our ability to improve student performance on the Literacy portion of all Assessments. B. The ongoing monitoring of student progress in order to influence classroom instruction. C. The utilization of Formative and Summative Assessment Data to make decisions that impact: Curriculum, Instruction, Assessment and Professional Development. D. Coordination of resources in order to better meet the needs of all students. Written minutes of each meeting, along with a sing-in sheet, will be kept and made available upon request. The intent is that each Intervention, and Action, is carefully monitored...through the collection of Formative and Summative Data...so that those strategies that prove ineffective can be revised, or abandoned. Our ACSIP plan will be revised each spring, and fall, in order to keep it timely and valid in our efforts to improve teaching and learning.

      COMPREHENSIVE NEEDS ASSESSMENT: We formed ACSIP Leadership Teams and analyzed the test scores from the 2009 administration of the 5th grade Augmented Benchmark and SAT 10 exams. We examined the results from both the combined population and EACH subpopulation. We conducted data analysis to determine our main areas of weakness. In addition, we studied the three most recent years of Attendance, Disciplinary, Formative and Summative Achievement Data across grade levels within our building. We aggregated and disaggregated all the data for the purpose of establishing student learning and behavioral goals. We looked at our trend data in order to better identify the specific areas of need and help align classroom instruction with our curriculum, assessment and professional development. We examined our routines, customs, and norms in order to dig deeper for the root cause why more of our students are not achieving to their full potential. Our 2009 Supporting Data Statements show the discrepancies in achievement, among our various populations. We are modifying our Curriculum, Instruction, Assessment and Professional Development practices to better meet theneeds of all our populations. Based on our Data Analysis we came to the conclusion that the follwoing areas reflect our greatest need within the Literacy Priority: Open Response Literacy Passages and Practical Passages. We will select Interventions and coordinate our various state and federal funding sources to address these areas. In addition, we meet in grade level teams weekly and as an entire faculty so that we can review formative, "real time" classroom performance data for the purpose of making decisions regarding the direction, and focus, of our Classroom Instruction. We chart progress on our "Assessment/Intervention" wall.

      SCHOOLWIDE REFORM STRATEGIES: Curriculum mapping checklists of literacy, science and social studies will occur both at the building level and the district level as a formative evaluation to ensure continuity in the instructional program at both levels, and to assist in planning for appropriate computer activities. Substitutes will be employed to give teachers release time during the school day.

      POINT IN TIME REMEDIATION: There will be an annual summative evaluation using data from SAT 10 scores to analyze areas of weakness and address sub skills, content clusters, subtest and subgroups that may need to be addressed in the curriculum mapping process. Other indicators will also be analyzed. An annual review and adjustment to the curriculum maps will be made according to gaps and/or duplications noted from the data analysis.

      Program Evaluation:  At the conclusion of the 2008 -2009 school year, we evaluated this Intervention/Program through: teacher observation and local summative assessments and determined that it was effective in support of our Curriculum, Instruction, Assessment and Professional Development. The following EVALUATION RESULTS demonstrate that htis Intervention is valid in support of the teaching and learning that are part of this program: Curriculum Mapping Checklists of Literacy, Science and Social Studies. During the 2009 - 2010 school year, we plan to follow the same protocol in evaluating, and adjusting, the programs, processes, and activities that make up the action descriptions within this intervention/program: Curriculum Mapping Checklists of Literacy, Science and Social Studies.
      We will use this data/information to determine whether the objective(s) of this Intervention/Program was (were) achieved and whether it has been successful in attaining the anticipated participant outcome objectives. We will report these results, in our 2010/2011 ACSIP plan, and use those evaluation results in making decisions that impact our future instructional program.

The selection, and coninuous evaluation, of research-based, scientifically validated, INterventions designed to improve our ability to improve student performance on the Math portion of all Assessments. B. The ongoing monitoring of student progress in order to influence classroom instruction. C. The utilization of Formative and Summative Assessment Data to make decisions that impact: Curriculum, Instruction, Assessment and Professional Development. D. Coordination of resources in order to boetter meet the needs of all students. Written minutes of each meeting, along with a sign-in sheet, will be kept and made available upon request. The intent is that each INtervention, and Action, is carefully monitored...through the collection of Formative and Summative Data...so that those strategies, whcih prove ineffective, can be revised, or abandoned. Our ACSIP Plan will be revised each spring, and fall, in order to keep it timely and valid in our efforts to improve teaching and learning.

During the 2009-2010 school year, we plan to follow the same protocol in evaluating, and adjusting, the programs, processes, and activities that make up the action descriptions within this intervention/program: Math Prompt Writing.
                        We will use this data/information to determine whether the objective(s) of this Intervention/Program was (were) achieved and whether it has been successful in attaining the anticipated participant outcome objectives. We will report these results, in our 20010/2011 ACSIP plan, and use those evaluation results in making decisions that impact our future instructional program.

                        COMPREHENSIVE NEEDS ASSESSMENT: We formed ACSIP Leadership Teams and analyzed the test scores from the 2009 administration of the 5th grade Augmented Benchmark and SAT 10 exams. We examined the results from both the combined population and EACH subpopulation. We conducted data analysis to determine our main areas of weakness. In addition, we studied the three most recent years of Attendance, Disciplinary, Formative and Summative Achievement Data across grade levels within our building. We aggregated and disaggregated all the data for the purpose of establishing student learning and behavioral goals. We looked at our trend data in order to better identify the specific areas of need and help align classroom instruction with our curriculum, assessment and professional development. We examined our routines, customs, and norms in order to dig deeper for the root cause why more of our students are not achieving to their full potential. Our 2009 Supporting Data Statements show the discrepancies in achievement, among our various populations. We are modifying our Curriculum, Instruction, Assessment and Professional Development practices to better meet theneeds of all our populations. Based on our Data Analysis we came to the conclusion that the following areas reflect our greatest need within the Mathematics Priority: Open Response Questions and Data Analysis and Probability Questions. We will select Interventions and coordinate our vairous state and federal funding sources to address these areas. In addition, we meet in grade level teams weekly and as an entire faculty so that we can review formative, "real time" classroom performance data for the purpose of making decisions regarding the direction, and focus, of our Classroom Instruction. We chart progress on our "Assessment/Intervention" wall.

                          PROGRAM EVALUATION: At the conclusion of the 2009-2010 school year, we will evaluate this Intervention/Program: On Our Way to English: Language Development Newcomer Kit through: pre/post testing, CRT/NRT assessments, and local formative and summative assessments. We will use this data/information to determine whether the objectives of is Program were achieve and whether it has been successful in attaining the anticipated participant outcome objectives. We will report these results in our 2010/2011 ACSIP plan and will use those evaluation results in making decisions that impact our future instructional program.
