6. Overview of CSIP Comprehensive School Improvement Plan
Overarching Goal
Increase student learning as shown by SAGE proficiency levels in math, science and writing.

7. Math
Currently 63% of all students were scoring proficient on the SAGE math. Our goal is that by the end of the year, 68% of students will be proficient on the SAGE assessment.
Progress toward this goal will be measured through formative assessments (SMI) 3 times throughout the year.
Tier 1 & 2 – All Students
Tier 3 – Math Lab Students

8. Learning Goal—What are teachers expected to learn and implement in the classroom?
Common pacing will be consistent within 1-2 days in the regular and co-taught classrooms. This will support common administration of CFA (within 0-2 days),
Comparison of data weekly,
Intervention will be provided during class time at least once a week.
Daily Tier 1 instruction will include grouping and strengthened explicit instruction with emphasis on "we do" & "y'all do".
Explicit Instruction: I do, we do, y’all do, you do
Math

9. How will progress toward this goal be monitored?
Informal IPOP's will be conducted focusing on explicit instruction. Each math teacher will be observed twice informally during the first month of school.
Peer observations will be conducted twice a year focusing on explicit instruction and grouping.
Achievement of this process will be met when 80% of teachers are able to demonstrate a Level 3 or higher rating on the 1st indicator of the "Y'all Do" section of explicit instruction instrument by the 2nd informal observation. 80% of teachers will continue to demonstrate a Level 3 or higher on Peer Observation #1 and #2.

Math

12. Science
Currently 76% of DPMS students are proficient on SAGE Science, scoring a 3 or 4. Our goal is that 77% of our overall student body will achieve proficiency on SAGE in science.
Only 34% of our Special Education students are proficient on SAGE Science. Our goal is to increase proficiency of Special Education students to 40% in the school year.
Progress will be measured by classroom unit summative assessment data. As required, the science curriculum will be updated for the school year.

13. Learning Goal—What are teachers expected to learn and implement in the classroom?
Teachers will focus on learning new science core curriculum, best teaching practices for small group instruction, explicit instruction for vocabulary, and spiraling of science instruction.
Additionally, we will collaborate with grade-level Special Education teachers to meet the needs of individual students.
Science

14. How will progress toward this goal be monitored?
Progress will be monitored by using data from classroom unit assessments.

17. Writing: ELA & Social Studies
SAGE ELA Data from indicates that writing is the lowest reporting category for DPMS.
62% of our students are proficient, scoring a level 3 or 4, on the ELA portion of SAGE ( ). Our goal is that at least 68% of our students will be proficient on the ELA SAGE in
A strategy for improvement is to provide targeted instruction in ELA and Social Studies classes in statement of purpose, utilization of evidence, and elaboration on evidence in student writing.
