Welcome — Ms. Stacy
1. TSSP plan – begin draft for next school year
Reviewed Acadiance data, which is the big picture of literacy assessment. We take Acadiance
assessments in August, January, and May. We use progress monitoring data in the interim.
Students who are below or well below benchmark are monitored and teachers are required to
enter data for progress monitoring in between assessments. They also receive extra instruction
in between the progress monitoring.
2. New LAND Trust plan – begin draft for next school year
Teachers can also monitor student progress via their 95 Percent progress and Wonders
(comprehension program) that happen daily. There are many opportunities for monitoring. We
can use these data points to help teachers know what to work on. Rise does not give us enough
specifics on where students are lacking.
Asked Aubrey and Briana if using 95 Percent and Wonders would be helpful/feasible for setting
goals and monitoring student progress. Discussion on feasibility of grading, gathering,
assessing data. Some features are in the workbook but some are online, which are easier to
grade and monitor for students who need monitoring. This feels like more of a shift rather than
adding more work, according to Briana. Acadiance does not give enough detail on why students
may score low on something, but this system gives much more detail that is helpful.
Ms. Stacy would like to set goals this way for next year, with focus mostly on ELA, not in every
category. Would like to include Grace Dearborn professional instruction for teachers. We think
we’re on track for about $98,000 for next year.3. Final end-of-year report
Final report for next year – will go over all the expenditures. It’s preloaded on the website when
Ms. Tracy goes to submit. We don’t use Reading Inventory anymore (it was on last year’s plan),
so we will adjust those goals. We did not meet most of our goals from last year. We would like
to make goals based on instruction and content standards.
Review of Current Land trust plan – we are currently at 36% of expenditures. Still need to hire
one more reading aide. Please reach out if you have a contact.
