      PROGRAM EVALUATION: At the conclusion of the 2007-2008 school year, we evaluated this Intervention/Program through pre/post testing, formative assessments, CRT/NRT assessments, and local summative assessments and determined that it was effective in support of our Curriculum, Instruction, Assessment and Professional Development. We believe the evidence shows that it is valuable in terms of supporting our efforts to increase student achievement. During the 2008-2009 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. In addition, we will implement Target Assessments aligned with state standards and developed by the NWAESC. We will use this data/information to determine whether the objectives of this Intervention/Program were achieved and whether it has been successful in attaining the anticipated participant outcome objectives. We will report these results in our 2009/2010 ACSIP plan, and will use those evaluation results in making decisions that impact our future instructional program.

        PROGRAM EVALUATION: At the conclusion of the 2007-2008 school year, we evaluated this Intervention/Program through pre/post testing, formatiave assessments such as quarterly math assessments, and summative assessments and determined that it was effective in support of our Curriculum, Instruction, Assessment and Professional Development. We believe the evidence shows that it is valuable in terms of supporting our efforts to increase student achievement. During the 2008-2009 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 while seeking a 10% gain across all populations. We will use this data/information to determine whether the objectives of this Intervention/Program were achieved and whether it has been successful in attaining the anticipated participant outcome objectives. We will report these results in our 2009/2010 ACSIP plan, and will use those evaluation results in making decisions that impact our future instructional program.

          CLOSING THE ACHIEVEMENT GAP: Regular meetings of our (Math) ACSIP leadership committee will continue to be held. These meetings will focus on building capacity within our school. Each meeting agenda will include the following core principles: A) The selection and continuous 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 progreess in order to influence classroom instruction. C) The utilization of formative and summative assessmetn 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 sign-in sheet, will be kept and made available upon request. the intent is that each intervention and action is carefully monitored throught eh 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.

These meetings will focus on building capacity within our school. Each meeting agenda will include the following core principles: A) 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 progreess in order to influence classroom instruction. C) The utilization of formative and summative assessmetn 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 sign-in sheet, will be kept and made available upon request. the intent is that each intervention and action is carefully monitored throught eh 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.

                                          PROGRAM EVALUATION: At the conclusion of the 2007-2008 school year, we evaluated this Intervention/Program through pre/post testing, CRT/NRT assessments, and local summative assessments and determined that it was effective in support of our Curriculum, Instruction, Assessment and Professional Development. We believe the evidence shows that it is valuable in terms of supporting our efforts to increase student achievement. During the 2008-2009 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. In addition, we will implement Target Assessments aligned with state standards and developed by the NWAESC. We will use this data/information to determine whether the objectives of this Intervention/Program were achieved and whether it has been successful in attaining the anticipated participant outcome objectives. We will report these results in our 2009/2010 ACSIP plan, and will use those evaluation results in making decisions that impact our future instructional program.

We believe the evidence shows that it is valuable in terms of supporting our efforts to increase student achievement. During the 2008-2009 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. In addition, we will implement Target Assessments aligned with state standards and developed by the NWAESC. We will use this data/information to determine whether the objectives of this Intervention/Program were achieved and whether it has been successful in attaining the anticipated participant outcome objectives. We will report these results in our 2009/2010 ACSIP plan, and will use those evaluation results in making decisions that impact our future instructional program.

We believe the evidence shows that it is valuable in terms of supporting our efforts to increase student achievement. During the 2008-2009 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. In addition, we will implement Target Assessments aligned with state standards and developed by the NWAESC. We will use this data/information to determine whether the objectives of this Intervention/Program were achieved and whether it has been successful in attaining the anticipated participant outcome objectives. We will report these results in our 2009/2010 ACSIP plan, and will use those evaluation results in making decisions that impact our future instructional program.

                                                    All students will improve in reading comprehension and written expression with additional attention to Content and Practical reading passages, and Style and Content writing domains. Intervention: Kindergarten students, who score delayed in both written and oral communication, on the Qualls Early Learning Inventory (QELI), and first and second grade students who score “below basic”, in reading, on the Iowa Test of Basic Skills (ITBS) will be considered to have a substantial reading deficiency. These children will be provided Intensive Reading Instruction utilizing small group insruction using Phonetic Connections and Guided Reading struction, scientifically based reading programs. The Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (DIBELS) will be administered to all K-2 students who are shown to have a substantial reading deficiency. The DIBELS will be used as: A. The evaluation instrument to determine which areas of reading the child is deficient. B. The progress-monitoring instrument to document progress toward grade level proficiency, and C. The assessment instrument used for discontinuing services. The DIBELS evaluation will be administered within thirty days after the beginning of the school year, for applicable first and second grade students, and within 30 days after receiving the QELI report, for applicable kindergarten students. Intensive reading interventions will be comprehensive in nature and will be targeted to remediate the area of deficiency. For those affected students, school personnel will develop an Intensive Reading Improvement Plan (IRI) that will describe our intervention program. Interventions will be provided in the form of small group and individual instruction. These intervention strategies and methods will continue until each student has reached grade level proficiency in all essential areas of reading. Student achievement in each of the essential elements shall be monitored bi-weekly until proficiency occurs. Students who are not meeting current expectations shall be provided additional interventions. Each parent, or guardian, will be notified in writing when their child has been identified with a substantial reading deficiency.

During the 2008-2009 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. We will use this data/information to determine whether the objectives of this Intervention/Program were achieved and whether it has been successful in attaining the anticipated participant outcome objectives. We will report these results in our 2009/2010 ACSIP plan, and will use those evaluation results in making decisions that impact our future instructional program.
