Naalehu Elementary School
School Academic Plan SY 2011-12
Goal 1. ASSURE ALL STUDENTS GRADUATE COLLEGE- AND CAREER-READY THROUGH EFFECTIVE USE OF
STANDARDS-BASED EDUCATION
Objectives:
a. Utilize formative assessments, including Data for School Improvement to drive instruction.
b. Improve schools and system through use of Longitudinal Data System Dashboards.
c. Use high quality standards, curriculum and materials.
d. Expand opportunities for rigorous Career and Technical Education programs of study within the pathways.
School Strategies (aligned to DOE Strategic Plan measures) (SW6) (SW8) (SW9)
Improve and refine standards-based practices in curriculum, instruction and assessment to ensure student achievement of grade level benchmarks.
Analyze formative assessment data to drive instruction and provide timely response to intervention.
Expand and extend educational opportunities for families to include research-based early childhood and intersession/summer programs
Rationale: 2010 HSA scores in reading showed significant gains, safe-harbor met in all subgroups for reading. Growth has been attributed to
interventions, walkthroughs, coaching, Cycle of Instruction, SIOP strategies, monthly assessments/analysis and embedding of skills. These practices
need to be continued, developed and refined to continue improvement in reading and to increase achievement in math. HSA Reading increased
from 24% to 38% proficient for all students and HSA Math increased from 13% to 24% for all students. The one cell we did not make safe harbor in
was ELL Math, where we missed it by one student.
