students’ progress over time

2013 – 2014 Action Steps for Improvement

1. Continue to collaborate with classroom teachers to align instruction

2. Work with classroom teachers to regularly use assessment data to drive decision-making

3. Use developmentally appropriate strategies to increase level of performance in the area of fluency

4. Consider tracking 3rd grade students (served by Title One in 2nd grade) to determine growth

Future Considerations

1. Implications for new FAST Assessments (State Literacy Assessments) for Ridge and Heights

2. Considerations regarding number of students on Title One teachers’ rosters

3. Additional Support for Title One students through Response to Intervention (RTI)
