    1. Goal #1
      Goal & Rationale

      Wilson Elementary will increase the percentage of students that are above benchmark composite score by 12% from beginning of the year (BOY) to end of the year (EOY) as measured by the Acadience Reading Assessment. 

      This goal was identified based on the high priority of reading ability and the emphasis that has been put on early literacy skills. It also supports the state literacy goal.

       
      Focus Area
      Reading
       
      Measurements (How will progres toward the goal be determined?)
      Acadience Reading Assessment
       
      Action Plan Steps (What steps will be taken to achieve the goal, including key expenditures)
      1. We will support student learning by hiring instructional aides to collaborate with teachers to provide the best learning experience. ($50,200)
      2. Support literacy by providing literacy software. ($5,000)
      3. We will progress monitor any student whose composite benchmark indicator decreases. For example: A student who scores blue composite on BOY and then scores green in the MOY
      1. Goal #2
        Goal & Raionale

        Wilson Elementary will increase students’ math academic content knowledge. This will be measured by a 20% increase in students that score above proficient from beginning of the year (BOY) to end of year (EOY) composite measured by Acadience math.  

        This goal was identified based on the high priority math computation and necessary need for foundational skills supported by the arts.

         
        Focus Area (math, science, reading, etc.)
        Math
         
        Measurements (How will progress toward the goal be determined?)
        Acadience Math Assessment
         
        Action Plan Steps (What steps will be taken to achieve the goal, including key expenditures)?
        1. We will support student learning by hiring instructional aides to collaborate with teachers to provide the best learning experience.
        2. Teachers will give students the Acadience math test three times a year. We will then review this data as a staff and monitor our progress during our data dive days.  
        3. Teachers will be provided days throughout the school year, to collaborate in different capacities. These days will be focused on producing highly effective lessons, curriculum maps and providing teams time to implement best teaching practices into their classrooms through reflection on data. Teachers may deepen their learning and understanding of collaboration by attending professional development conferences or PLC conferences. ($8,669.53)
        4. Systematically reinforce those common expectations at a classroom, grade level, and school level to create an optimal learning environment for students to access math content knowledge.  (Purchase materials to help improve the school wide behavior system, and provide incentives for students.) ($718)
        5. The guiding coalition will be meeting for one day before the school year begins to collaborate on how to best initiate and support staff with meeting this goal along with planning on school wide initiatives. ($2,800)

      The  distribution in this plan is an estimate. If the actual distribution is more than the estimate, how will additional funds be spent to implement the goals described in the plan?
      Additional Funds will be used to:
      1. If we are unable to hire paraprofessionals, we will purchase computer software/hardware that enables teachers to differentiate instruction for reading and/or math and help keep students accountable.
      2. If we are unable to purchase technology related supplies or software we will fund teacher conferences, substitutes, or collaboration for online courses for professional development.
      3. If additional money is not spent, we will look to purchase supplies and substitutes that support teacher development
