2013 - 2014
 PreK Team – Improved community
outreach…Website… Open Houses… communication
with kindergarten team
Use data to provide targeted, tiered reading
interventions to students. Tier 2 Interventions are a
“double dose” of small group reading instruction
everyday. INTERVENE EARLY!
The Results….
96/102 (94%) kindergarteners at Parkview are reading at
benchmark of a DRA (Developmental Reading
Assessment) Independent Level 3 at the end of K!!!!
Regular teacher collaboration and data analysis to
provide differentiated literacy instruction to ALL
students…
NWF – WWR – Sept. 27% of PKV first graders scored in
the “below average” or “well below average” range…. In
May, 17% of PKV first graders scored in these two
normed performance levels
 Create Interdisciplinary Science/SS Units, aligned with
MA Frameworks and rotate students through teachers
and units throughout the year.
 Results - over 90% of second graders scored 80% or
higher on district’s common assessments for these
science/ss units. Huge Success and our second graders
LOVED switching teachers twice a week!
