Plan

 

Overall Goal:

·        The percentage of all students who score proficient in Math in grades 9th & 11th will continue to exceed the Public Education Department’s (PED) Annual Measurable Objective (AMO) of 40% proficient as measured by the New Mexico Standards Based Assessment (NMSBA).

 

Target Goal/Measure:

·        The percentage of all 9 and 11 grade English Language Learners (ELL) students proficient in Math will increase by 24.21% from 15.79% to 40% (AMO) proficient as measured NMSBA.

  • The percentage of all 9,10 and 11 grade ELL students proficient in Math will increase by 10% each reporting period as measured by A2L three times a year.

·        The percentage of all 9 and 11 grade Students with Disabilities (SWD) proficient in Math will increase by 32.81% from 7.19% to 40%  (AMO) proficient as measured NMSBA.

  • The percentage of all 9, 10, and 11 grade SWD proficient in Math will increase by 10% each reporting period as measured by A2L three times a year.

Study

Data analysis:

ELL:

·        The attached data indicate that 84.21% of all ELL students did not score proficient in Math. We believe that since these students do not score proficient in Reading as well, that it is a contributing factor to their poor math skills.

·        Sheltered instruction is not being delivered with fidelity in all classes.

 

ELL:

§        A2L testing complete October 2007, data is being disaggragated by the Math teachers and instruction adjusted accordingly.

§        Sheltered Instruction training to occur during the January 7th PD.

 

 

SWD:

·        The attached data indicate that 92.81% of all students with disabilities did not score proficient in Math. Adequate math programs have not been implemented for these students.

 

SWD:

§        Special Education Students in Inclusion classrooms  completed A2L testing in October 2007.  Data is being disaggragated by the student’s Math teacher and instruction is being adjusted accordingly.

 

Plan

Identify Strategy to be used with Target group to remedy AYP.

All Students:

  • We will begin to fully implement Teaching & Learning with Text (TLWT) strategies in all math classes to include all subgroups. (TLWT is a resource to help classroom teachers implement standards with success)

All Students:

§        Professional Development was conducted Sept 17 and Nov 9 for TLWT with all teachers except Math teachers who had  additional district required math training . After school TWLT training sessions will be held for math  teachers at the beginning of the 2nd semester. Strategies are being developed by the administrative team for inspecting the use of TLWT in the classrooms.

ELL:

§        Teacher Edition Math books in Spanish have arrived and materials are being distributed

§        Bilingual Coordinator has completed conducting ELL student transcript review to ensure appropriate ELL student placement.

§        Lists identifying students who need sheltered instruction have been distributed to the staff.

 

SWD:

§        Currently servicing 60 SWD utilizing Algebra Rescue stategies in a 53 minute period.

 

ELL:

·        In addition to TLWT,  Math books in native language will be ordered for use by ELL students in math classes and at home

·        Bilingual Coordinator will review transcripts of ELL students to check for gaps in math learning with the goal of proper and appropriate placement in math classes.

·        Teachers will be notified by the Bilingual Coordinator as to which ELL students need additional sheltered instruction.

SWD:

·        In addition to the implementation of TLWT we will expand the use of Algebra Rescue strategies to all SWD students to 45 minutes per day.
