Plan for this
school year:
Key strategies to achieve goals:
1. Rigor, differentiation, literacy, and numeracy MUST
be described in lesson plans and infused in all
content areas with Science and Social Studies
integrated into Reading, Language Arts, and
Mathematics
2. Smart boards and related technology will be
integrated into lessons on core subjects.
3. AYP grades are departmentalized.
4. Ongoing peer observations and sharing of student
work and strategies by collaboration in Professional
Learning Community.
5. Differentiated teacher professional development
(PD) based on TEM rubric.
6. Increased fidelity to district software requirements.
7. Focus on both Common Core State Standards
(CCSS) and Student Performance Indicators (SPIs).
8. Share new instructional insights from PD
conferences and sessions on-going throughout the
year.
9. Book Study to improve teachers’ strategies for CCSS
and teaching strategies.
Key strategies to achieve progress for students with the
greatest need:
11. Utilization of teacher tutors before and after school
and retired teacher tutors during the school day.
12. Implementation of Tier II and Tier III strategies for
RTI.
13. Maintain rich data comparisons to identify needs
and drive instruction.
Projected costs and funding sources for key strategies.
 Strategies 1, 3, 5, 7 and 12 will not require
additional funding. The TEM Lesson Plan Template
greatly assists teachers in the creation of effective
lessons plans which include the CCSS and SPIs
reflected in our curriculum and pacing guides.
Departmentalization AYP grades is already in place
at Berclair Elementary.
 Strategy 2 has a projected cost of $1,500 for Smart
Boards PD on their use. The projected cost is to be
covered by Title I funds.
 Strategy 4 has a projected cost of $1,500 for the
payment of substitute teachers. The projected cost
is to be covered by Title I funds.
 Strategy 6 has a projected cost of $20,000 for the
purchase of computers. The projected cost is to be
covered by Title I funds.

Strategy 8 has a projected cost of $5,000 for
conference fees, transportation, and other costs
associated with PD opportunities. The projected
cost is to be covered by Title I and Site Based funds.
 Strategy 9 has a projected cost of $1,000.
 Strategy 10 has a projected cost of $70,000. $7,000
of the projected cost will be covered by Extended
Contracts for teachers. $63,000 of the projected
