Measurable Outcome | By June, 2024, 50% of English Learners (Level 1-4) will enroll in Math 7HN or higher (rising 7th grade) or Algebra 1 or higher (rising 8th grade) for the 2024-25 school year. |
Strategy 1 | Increase school communication about open enrollment to ensure all school staff (including elementary schools) communicate a shared message around open enrollment and mathematics course pathways. |
Strategy 2 | Improve teachers’ implementation of the Framework for Engaging & Student-Centered Mathematics Instruction. |
Strategy 3 | Increase systems of support during the school day, after school and summer to help students achieve success in mathematics. |
ELA Goal | |
Measurable Outcome | By the end of the 23-24 school year, students who score basic or below basic on the Reading Inventory will grow two bands as indicated by the suggested growth reports in the SAM database. |
Strategy 1 | Increase the frequency of formative integrated reading and writing tasks (i.e. reading responses, annotations) |
Strategy 2 | Increase opportunities to explicitly teach vocabulary using evidence-based methods (i.e. semantic feature analysis, analyzing word parts, Frayer model, defining words in context, semantic mapping, etc.) |
Strategy 3 | Utilize small groups to increase opportunities for students who need extensions |
