Teacher and Student Success Plan 2021-22

Country View Elementary is focused on creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment so that all students can access learning at high levels.  To better provide students with the social-emotional support they need to better access academic learning, student social-emotional wellness will be assessed and strengthened through instruction and supported by a schoolwide positive behavior plan.  In addition, school aides and a mental health specialist will provide time to support individual student behavior and mental health needs.

For student behavior, our goal is that the total of 2021-22 behavior office referrals will decrease by 10% from last year’s 2020-21 total. 

For student emotional and mental wellness, our goal is that student sense of belonging will increase by 10% on the Panorama Student Social Emotional Learning Competency Survey from BOY to EOY.

1. Panorama Education subscriptions will be purchased to facilitate assessment of social-emotional learning (SEL) skills and provide SEL instruction for students in grades 3-6. ($450)
2. Resources will be supplied to implement a schoolwide positive behavior plan. ($5,000)
3. Aide time will be provided to support the implementation of the schoolwide positive behavior plan and support students identified with behavior needs, enabling them to learn and practice behavior strategies that positively impact individual and classroom learning. ($7,000)
4. Resources will be supplied to create a student calm down space. ($2,000*)

*This action step will complete efforts that were begun last year by our behavior aide and will utilize 2020-2021 carry-over funds.

5. Resources will be supplied to support individual student behavior needs, i.e. instructional resources, books, break boxes, trackers, incentives, etc. ($2,000)
6. 32% of student behavior office referrals are a result of behaviors during recess.  Input from students, playground aides, and teachers will guide restructuring of recess and purchase of recess/playground equipment to provide greater recess activity opportunities. ($9,000*)

*This action step will further efforts that were begun last year as part of our positive behavior plan and will utilize 2021-2022 monies as well as 2020-2021 carry-over funds. These funds may be used to partner with WSD Foundation for a playground grant.

7. Collaborative time and/or professional development will be provided for teachers and aides during the summer to develop school wide behavior goals and commitments. ($2,000*)

*This action step was written into the 2020-2021 plan, but not provided due to COVID-19 restrictions.  This collaborative time will be provided this year and will utilize 2020-2021 carry-over funds.

8. Time will be provided to our school by a mental health specialist. ($4,000) 

Behavior office referrals are documented on MyStudent Tracker.  These Tracker incidents are tallied each quarter and at year end.  We will compare the total number of 2021-2022 Tracker incidents to the total number of 2020-2021 Tracker incidents to determine if a decrease of 10% was made.

Students in grades 3-6 will be given an emotional and mental health skills assessment provided by Panorama Education at the beginning of the year and at the end of the year.  We will analyze the Panorama EMH survey data to determine if student sense of belonging improved by 20% from BOY to EOY survey administration. 

Our goal is to increase the effectiveness of our Tier I and Tier II reading and math instruction by: supporting teachers and aides with training and professional development; supplying additional aide time to work with students; maintaining technology instructional support, and promoting student problem solving skills by providing makerspace learning opportunities.  

In reading, our goal is that 65% or more of our K-6 students will show typical, above, or well above progress on the end of year DIBELS Acadience Pathways of Progress Assessments.  

In math, our goal is that 90% or more of our  K-6 students will attain a proficient or highly proficient (3 or 4 on the report card scale) skill level on math essential learning target (ELT) grade-level assessments. 

1. Teachers and aides will be involved in professional development through colleague observations, school and district training, online professional development, workshops, and/or conferences.  Substitutes will be provided to cover classrooms. ($3,000*)

*This action step was written into the 2020-2021 plan, but not provided due to COVID-19 restrictions.  This professional development will be provided this year and will utilize 2020-2021 carry-over funds.

2. Stipends may be provided to teachers/aides for attending professional development and/or submitting artifacts of learning. ($2,000)
3. Aide time will be provided during Tier II reading and math instruction. ($60,523*) *This amount will utilize 2021-2022 funds and 2020-2021 carry-over funds.
4. Teachers and aides will utilize technology to increase student engagement and promote learning; outdated and broken technology used in instruction will be replaced. ($15,945*)

*This amount includes $6,378 for three smart panels that were ordered, but not delivered during the 2020-2021 year. Carry-over funds will be used to cover the cost of these three panels.

5. Subscriptions for an online math program will be purchased to support differentiated student learning in grades 1-6. ($8,000)
6.  Makerspace resources/materials will be purchased. ($2,000)

In reading, DIBELS Acadience Pathways of Progress Assessments will be administered to students at the beginning of the year, mid-year, and at the end of the school year to measure progress.  

In math, each grade level team of teachers will administer assessments to measure students’ skill level on math essential learning targets (ELTs).  Each grade level team has determined the four most important math ELTs for their grade.  It is these four grade level ELTs that student assessment data will be used to track progress toward the goal of 90% student proficiency.
