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 classes to include all subgroups. (TLWT is a resource to help classroom teachers implement standards with success)

All Students:

§        MHS is investigating various types of schedules that will allow additional time in the duty day for interventions for all students who are not proficient in reading.

§        TLWT final phase training will occur at theJan 7th PD.

  All Students:

§        Following are reading interventions being used with all students who are not proficient:

ü     SRA Corr. Reading

ü     Wilson Reading

ü     Lexia Comp. Program

ü     Fast Forward Computer Program

 

 

 

 

 

African/American, Hispanic, Native Amercian, ELL, SWD, EconDis:

·        Due to the large number of subgroups not meeting the AMO targets, we will review readling levels from the NMSBA and HS Competency Test of all students to identify which students are not proficient.

·        All teachers of identified non-proficient readers will be notified of student status so they can implement additional sheltered instruction.

ELL and SWD:

·        more time on literature, writing and grammer tasks will be added to these classes
