Questions and Comments?

LEA Goals for 2009-2010

• Reading coaches will be in classrooms 50 % of their time working with teacher instruction to improve reading.

• Coaches will use the ARI coaching cycle with teachers whose data is not projected to target 80 % literacy in their classroom.

LEA Goals for 2009-2010

• Intervention teachers will work daily with struggling readers using My Sidewalks.

LEA Goals for 2009-2010• Principals will monitor classrooms once a

month when classroom data shows little or no improvement.

• The Principal and Reading Coach will develop and implement actions plans to help that teacher, (It may be the reading coach working with a teacher in their classroom, or some type of professional development). This plan must be implemented before the next PM data gathering.

LEA Goals for 2009-2010Continued

• After the action plan is implemented, the Principal will sit down with the teacher again and discuss how the action plan worked or did not work. If the action plan did not work, another action plan must be developed and implemented until the next PM.

• Principal and Reading Coach will document actions taken to improve reading scores.

LEA Goals for 2009-2010

– After the initial Scott Foresman Benchmark Test, goals will be set for each teacher. The goal is to have 80% of their students scoring 80 or higher on the Unit Assessments, and 80% for the DIBELS class average.

LEA Goals for 2009-2010

– A data meeting will be held monthly for all grade levels and goals will be set for each grade level to reach and will include an action plan to help each grade level achieve the 80% goal.
