 Reading-6 percentage point increase, yet GAP doesn’t really change.  Math-15 percentage point increase, yet gap doesn’t really change.  GAP students are growing at same rate as all students.  Need more attention to “growing” gap students more than All students.  If All students increase, the GAP will increase as well, however, the GAP will not necessarily close.

 Increase combined reading and math achievement for all student groups so that the percentage of non-duplicated gap group students performing at the proficient level increases from 45% to 57% by May 31, 2015 as measured by the school report card.

 Teachers will meet at least monthly with Principal to perform data analysis based on pre/post assessments from designed units. Student progress will be discussed and a plan put in place for those students not meeting proficiency.  Students in the non-duplicated gap group will be identified and mentored by staff members. Students in the lowest performing group will be identified based on benchmark data.  Teachers will use winter benchmark data to develop plan for students identified low and below proficiency levels. These interventions will occur during RTI block time or during classroom instruction.
