2012-2013

Arnold Elementary

Kindergarten - 2nd grade

New for 2012-2013 Following the

introduction of the Common Core, nonfiction texts were ordered at the K-2 level in order to help align with the 50% nonfiction text reading aim of the CCSS for literature

New for 2012-2013 Monthly RTI meetings at

Arnold gave Title teachers and classroom teachers a scheduled opportunity to connect, collaborate, and touch base about students

This summer, Arnold Elementary will be offering a Summer Learning Program for students transitioning to grades 1-3.

New for 2012-2013 In order to better connect with parents,

we began using Remind 101, a text messaging system, at the K-6 level. This allowed us to send mass text messages to all K-6 parents who signed up for the service, and it replaced our previous method of sending postcards. The text messages were more immediate and relevant, since most parents have cell phones with text messaging capabilities.

Continuing for 2012-2013

Title I teacher assistant at Arnold was redefined and better utilized. Defined time during the day to read with at-

risk students, increasing their daily dose of reading

Responsible for picking up the students as well as the technology piece of the literacy group time, allowing for increased instruction from Title I teachers

Continuing for 2012-2013

Student ranking sheets were filled out for grade levels K through 6th at the end of last year to facilitate immediate testing in the fall of low- and middle-low progress students, as well as any students new to the district

Title I meetings were coordinated with Reading Recovery PD days to decrease the amount of missed contact time with students

SIT Team:Student Intervention Team was created including a collaboration of staff members to meet the needs of students possibly needing long-term assistance.

Staff members discussed different interventions taking place or needing to take place before student is brought up to the referral team. This follows our district’s intervention plan and RTI model.

Groups were fluid and changed as necessary, and data was officially reviewed at each trimester

Student Selection and Exitat Arnold

Students at Arnold are selected based on teacher judgment and grade appropriate assessments, including the tasks of Clay’s Observation Survey and Rigby tests.

Students may receive an academic exit from the Title I program if they reach the appropriate grade level criteria at any point during the school year when they are receiving services. If there is not a waiting list, these students will continue to receive services so that they are getting extra support as needed. In situations when higher-need children are waiting for services, academic exit students will be discontinued from services and new students will be selected using the above criteria.

Service Delivery at Arnold

Students receiving Title I services at Arnold are pulled out from their classrooms for 40 minutes per day, 5 days a week.

Groups have no more than three students, and include students who have similar needs so that instruction can closely match student needs.

Student progress at Arnold

The following charts show the outcomes of 1st and 2nd grade students who received Title I services this school year.

Student growth is a result of classroom instruction, classroom intervention, and Title I intervention, following our district’s RTI model.

Keicher Elementary

3rd grade – 6th grade

New for 2012-2013

We were able to utilize an At-Risk Interventionalist to assist with Title 1 Reading and Math in grades 5 and 6.

Defined to assist small groups in a push-in and pull-out re-teach format.

Allowed student to teacher ratio to stay small and provide additional support for struggling students.

New for 2012-2013 Literacy Intervention Plans were completed 3 times a year and sent

home for parent signature. An information sheet went home as well to explain to parents what all the data meant for their child.

Literacy Intervention meetings with classroom teachers were in October and February. This was a chance for classroom teachers and Title 1 teachers to discuss specific student needs.

Parent Information Sheet Guide to help parents understand test scores and

assessments on the Literacy Intervention Plan.

New for 2012-2013 Weekly fluency monitoring was done every Friday

on students in grades 3-6.

Fluency benchmarks were administered three times a year and charted on a graph. These graphs were sent home with report cards each trimester.

New for 2012-2013 This summer, Keicher Elementary will be offering

a Summer Learning Program for students transitioning to grades 4-6.

Invitation to attend Summer Learning Program.

Summer Learning Program 64 at-risk students were invited to our 4-week

long Summer Learning program.

A short reading selection that resembles a running record. Students are given a comprehension score and accuracy score. Score of 90% accuracy and 80% comprehension represent a passing score. Students are tested until they are unable to pass, this then represents their Rigby level. Short selections are numbered 1-30. Numbered levels correlate to grade equivalents.

Sixth grade Acceleration Time

Students below grade-level proficiency (based on QRI/DRA/Rigby results) receive reading support for 40 minutes daily

Once there is evidence of growth, students are retested using QRI/DRA/Rigby assessments

Based on assessment results, students are placed into a Book club or remain in our group to focus on specific skills.

Focus areas are: Comprehension strategies Fluency Word work Phonemic awareness Independent reading

Goals for 2013-2014 Monthly structured meetings with grade-levels to discuss student

progress and create collaboration between classroom and Title instruction

Continue to coordinate Title I meetings with ongoing professional development

Strengthening communication and collaboration between Title I and special education

Extend invitations for Behind the Literacy group observations Continue to implement Kindergarten literacy groups beginning in

September to provide year-long intervention for the students who need it most

New structure for Title I meetings to strengthen collaboration between Title teachers across the district and within buildings

Collaboratively integrate existing Title literacy programs (Reading Recovery, literacy groups) with Energizing Education to create a cohesive program with common goals, language, and practice

Strengthen parent involvement using ties to Energizing Education
