2023-2024 School Innovation and Improvement Plan

Outcome goals for this academic year.

School Innovation and Improvement Plan At-A-Glance

  • 2023-2024

  • Flint Hill Elementary School 

  • Region 1

  • Eben Montaquila, Principal

English Language Arts 

Outcome

Ensure students are making sufficient progress to be on grade level in English Language Arts by 3rd grade.

Goal

  • By the end of the 23-24 school year 100% of 3rd grade students will demonstrate proficiency in reading as measured by 3rd grade students who 'Meet Expectation' on their Spring iReady Reading Assessment and/or perform 'On' or 'Above' on their 3rd grade iReady ORF measure.

Strategy 1  

  • Increase use of data (e.g., iReady, CORE, PASS, PRF, WIDA) to plan instruction and monitor progress for students demonstrating risk. (HLP 2-5)

Strategy 2

  • Expand use of skills-based grouping to ensure students demonstrate mastery of foundational skills. (HLP 2, 5)

Strategy 3  

  • Expand use of independent practice with a variety of texts (e.g., decodable, nonfiction, fiction) and meaningful tasks (e.g., Lexia, writing about reading). (HLP 2-4)

 

Mathematics 

Outcome

Ensure students are making sufficient progress to be on grade level in Mathematics.

Goal

  • By the end of the 23-24 school year 100% of students in grades 1-6 grade students will meet or exceed grade level expectations in math on their Spring iReady math assessment in the areas of Number and Operations and/or Algebra and Algebraic Thinking.

Strategy 1  

  • Increase teacher implementation of explicit instruction and other components of effective mathematics intervention.

Strategy 2  

  • Use conversation structures to increase academic talk between students.

Strategy 3  

  • Increase students' self-efficacy around the ability to be successful in mathematics.

 

Portrait of a Graduate (POG)

Outcome

All students will complete a POG Presentation of Learning (POL) by 2025-26.

Goal

  • By June 2024, 100% of students will have regular access to meaningful learning opportunities to authentically identify, practice, and build POG skills. In grades K,1,3,4,6 students will focus on reflection of POG Communicator skills; and in grades 2, 3, 5 and 6, students will participate in POG POL. Student growth in the POG Communicator skill will be measured by K, 1, and 4 Self Assessments and Teacher Scoring Guides and by grades 2, 3, 5 and 6 POG POL portfolios.

Strategy 1  

  • Instruction at all grade-levels includes explicit POG instruction within innovative pedagogy such as PBL and integration of thinking routines.

Strategy 2  

  • The school will build an understanding with students, staff and the community about why POG attributes and skills positively impact students within and beyond school.
