  • Increase impact of tier 2 interventions for students demonstrating risk by using FCPS-recommended programs and practices with fidelity (e.g., Lexia, UFLI). (HLP 5)
  • Expand access to evidence-based tier 1 instruction as well as intervention for students demonstrating risk in a multi-tiered system of supports. (HLP 1-5)

Mathematics

Strategies:

  • Increase systems of support during the school day, after school and summer to help students achieve success in mathematics.
  • Use conversation structures to increase academic talk between students.
  • Increase teacher implementation of explicit instruction and other components of effective mathematics intervention.

Portrait of a Graduate

Outcome: 

  • By the end of SY23-24, all students will demonstrate a 25% increase in understanding of reflection skills and a 25% increase in ability to demonstrate resilience during a difficult task as measured by a pre- and post-assessment.

Strategies:

  • Classrooms will aim to achieve 100% of ST Math postcards by the end of 23-24 school year.
  • Utilizing Lexia pre-test data, students will identify a number of weekly units to complete in order to meet EOY goals.
  • Collaborative teams will align content knowledge and skills with POG attributes and skills.
