65% of students will achieve typical or above growth on the Acadience reading assessment from beginning to end of the 2024-25 school year.
Identify the measurement(s) you will use to determine if you are making progress towards the goal.
The 2024-25 school year will be our first year as a school so we don't have existing data. Next year, our council will regularly review BOY, MOY and EOY school Acadience reading data. Improvement and progress in students' ability to read fluently and comprehend text is a critical academic need. Our council has decided to use the Acadience data as an indicator because it is a consistent statewide tool that provides a way to gauge the growth and progress students are making in their reading. The Acadience assessment is given K-6th three times per year along with progress monitoring throughout the school year.
Outline the steps of the action plan to reach this goal.
We will hire reading paraprofessionals who will work with students in small groups targeted on individual reading needs. ($28,000)
We will lease a Chromebook for each student to support student learning in language arts. ($7,000)

Provide substitutes so teachers can: observe other teachers to strengthen instruction, assess and meet with students, provide leadership training on effective leadership strategies. ($1,000)
