Annual Action Plan Year Grade Levels: K-8 2014 - 2016 School: Brownington Central School Supervisory Union: Orleans Central Focus Area: Mathematical Understanding 7.6 Students understand arithmetic in computation, and they select and use, in appropriate situations mental arithmetic, pencil and paper, calculator, and computer. 7.7 Students use geometric and measurement concepts. 7.8 Students use function and algebra concepts. 7.9 Students use statistics and probability concepts. Assessment Needs See School Report provided to Central Office from May, 2014 Identified by Data Goals for Increased Student Performance By June of 2014 goals: Grades K,1, and 2 will have 80% of students meeting end of the year PNOA assessments. Grades 2 and 5 to continue the implementation of the district Math Assessment and to explore progress monitoring and benchmark assessments from the SBAC site Grades 1-5 will have 75% of their students earn 80% or better on Bridges Number Corner Baseline Assessments. Grade 6 and 7; 80% of the students will perform at an 80% level of proficiency on the end of year Mathematics assessment. 75% of students will earn 80% or higher on end of year OGAP Assessment in Numeracy (Grade 4), Multiplicative Reasoning (Grades 4 & 5), and Fractional Reasoning (Grades 3, 4, 5, and 6). Proportional Reasoning (Grades 7 & 8) Grades 2 – 7 teaching year, to have 80% of our Students proficient or above on SBAC. To develop or refine the District Benchmark Assessments for all grades (beginning, middle, and end of year); to implement SBAC Progress Monitoring Assessments as they become available. Purchase IXL subscription for the computer based math practice to improve student math skills for grades K-8. Purchase a math intervention program for grades 7 and 8. 1. Participate in district and local PLCs: Implementation year 1 for MTSS, focus area of math Standards-Based Change Process work on math, four release days a year All BCS math teachers will work with a math consultant on CCSS alignment and best practices Grades 6 – 8 will continue to align CMP 2 to CCSS math standards during district PLCs. Grade 3 – 8 OGAP assessment work in number sense, fractional reasoning, multiplicative reasoning, and Proportional Reasoning. Continue work to establish student plans for math 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Professional Development Required 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. intervention in areas of numeracy, multiplication, division and fractions. Continue to implement and refine an End of Year Math Assessment for grades 6-7 (CMP2). Grades K-5 refine and implement an end of year assessment for all Bridges classrooms. Rubicon curriculum work (alignment of all curricula to CCSS) will be the focus for all PLCs at the district level. Continue the “expert” team teaching model in grades 4/5/6. Use Jennifer Riendeau to teach mathematics to grades 5 and 6, and Michelle Bonneau to teach literacy to grades 5 and 6; JoAnn Martin to teach grades 7 and 8 math/science and Kyle Chadburn to teach grades 7 and 8 humanities. JoAnn Martin and Jennifer Riendeau will pursue their master’s degrees in math through VMI Support the grade level math grouping by using our interventionist, Ellie Primeau to teach grade 4 math. Brownington will use our licensed, highly qualified interventionists Sherry Montminy and Ellie Primeau to provide supplemental mathematical services beyond the 60/90 min. block in grades K-8. Use three days during the year to do discussions of student data and intervention; during the last data day, also determine a schedule for next year. Integrate Technology into our mathematics curriculum wherever appropriate and necessary. All students not meeting targets will be discussed in a data/benchmarking days in October and February to provide additional intervention services. Continued documentation of longitudinal data on assessment sheets for all students. Participation in district and local PLCs. Continue to work on the Bridges program in the district through the PLCs. Bridges and CMP assessments development at PLC. Assessment work for Jen Ullrich, JoAnn Martin, Jen Houston and Ellie Primeau to establish assessment plan for grades 2-8 in numeracy, multiplication, division and fractions. Professional development for Master’s degrees for JoAnn Martin and Jennifer Riendeau through VMI. Student transition day; data support, interventions and Special Ed scheduling in mathematics prior to next school year. Math Consultant to work with all K – 8 math teacher through MTSS, Ellie Primeau to be trained in being an inhouse coach in the area of mathematics. Projected Funding Amounts, with Funding Source Expected Completion Date: Persons Responsible Updated 8-19-14 1. SWP: licensed HQT team teacher (Sherry Montminy) to provide supplemental tier II instruction in mathematics to K-6 students at risk of not meeting state and local standards. 2. Local and GEAR Up: funds for substitutes for math SBCP meetings and other professional meetings as needed for assessment work; after-school intervention help through GEAR UP. 3. SWP: provide targeted professional development for being in-house math leadership team for JoAnn Martin and Jennifer Riendeau through a Master’s Program at VMI. All goals will be reviewed in the spring of 2015, most goals are expected to continue through 2016. Teachers K-8, Interventionists, Curriculum Director, Beverly Davis, and Principal Elaine Collins.
