    1. Process

      2. Ms. Stacy and instructional coaches analyzed data and determined goals for next year
      3. Ms. Stacy reviewed Lone Peak needs, goals, and expenditures with the SCC meeting (3/8/21) and used Nearpod app on iPads to retrieve group feedback

  3. Areas of Need
    1. 23% of 2nd-5th graders are not proficient in Concepts and Applications (measured by Acadience). English Learners and low socioeconomic populations seem to be the most impacted.
      1. Addressing these gaps will require implementation of number talks to develop conceptual understanding, robust vocabulary routines, use of the C-R-A model and structured classroom discussions.
    2. 77% of students made typical or better progress on Acadience Reading Measures. The school goal is 80%.
      1. Addressing this will require more professional development and small group planning time. There is also a need for more time spent on reading for purpose.
    3. Less than 80% of students on RI are advancing from Basic-Proficient or from Below Basic-Basic, Proficient, or Advanced in grades 4 and 5.
      1. Addressing this will require helping students advance in multisyllabic skill practice in the 95% group intervention and more time spent reading.
  4. Proposed Goals
    1. 85% of students will score proficient or above on Concepts and Applications as measured by Acadience by the end of the 2021-2022 school year.
    2.  80% of students in K-3 will make typical or better progress as measured by Acadience Pathways to Progress. Also, 80% of students in the Basic-Below Basic category will improve at least one level on the Reading Inventory by the end of the 2021-2022 school year.
    3. Feedback from SCC on Goals (via Nearpod)
      1. The group agreed the goals were appropriate, progress was good on this year’s circumstances and were appropriately defined.
  5. Expenditures for Land Trust
    1. $35,200 for Instructional Assistants for interventions/extension (reading and math)
    2. $14,800 for Instructional Assistants to instruct/reinforce difficult concepts through drama
    3. $19,800 for additional hours for BTSA visual art teacher to collaborate with classroom teachers to reinforce diffuclt concepts
    4. $5,000 for materials and software to develop number sense (i.e. Number Talks, Manipulatives, Dreambox Licenses)
