1 School: Pembroke Elementary School School Year(s): Date of Plan: October 22, 2015 VBCPS Goals 1. High Academic Expectations (Literacy and Numeracy) Compass to Multiple Pathways (Approach to personalized learning) 3. Social Emotional Development (SE learning strategies, RSN behavior) 4. Culture of Growth & Excellence (Build capacity of staff) Pembroke Elementary School in partnership with parents and community, is dedicated to School Mission fostering academic success in a multicultural learning environment by providing a variety of relevant experiences that accommodate individual learning styles through developmentally appropriate instruction. Data Summary Literacy: In order to help determine how to raise our proficiency rates in grades 3-5, we analyzed three years of PALS and DRA data for grades 1-3, which shows a need for improved grade-level proficiency rates overall. We also analyzed three years of SRI data for grades 3-5. This data also shows the need for improved gradelevel proficiency rates. Additional data that supports our goal is the Spring 2015 SOL 3 rd grade Reading score of 74.65%, which is slightly below 75% for accreditation. Spring DRA grades 1-3: Percent of Students Proficient or Above Grade Level/Year % 57% 58% 2 70% 63% 63% 3 38% 53% 55% Spring SRI grades 3-5: Percent of Students Proficient or Above Grade Level/Year % 69% 59% 4 42% 89% 78% 5 85% 92% 60% Spring PALS K-2: Percent of Students Identified Grade Level/Year K 10% 16% 15% 1 11% 21% 44% 2 20% 10% 22% Page 1 of 10

2 Math: According to the Spring 2015 Mathematics SOL, grade levels scored low in the reporting category of Computation and Estimation. After a review of SDBQ data, by grade levels, it was determined the areas of focus for the Multi-step should continue to be Problem Solving Common Assessments for Last year, Multi-step Problem Solving Common Assessments had been administered in all grade levels. There has been a notable increase in the category 2 (Computation and Estimation) mean score for Grade 3 from the 2014 to the 2015 SOL data. Teachers attribute this increase to the focus being placed on problem solving in all grade levels, particularly the work done in grades K-2 last year. Spring SOL s grades 3-5: Category 2 Mean Scores for (Computation and Estimation) Grade Level/Year The focus on Computation and Estimation will continue this year. Although there was an increase in third grade, an improvement in all grade levels is expected. With the continued focus on Number Talks and Problem Solving in the lower grades, it is anticipated that the Computation and Estimation mean scores will increase to 37 or higher. Page 2 of 10

3 Technology: At the beginning of this school year, teachers were given the Technology Integration Continuum to use as a tool to evaluate their current individual level of technology integration. According to the self-reported ratings on the Technology Integration Continuum, Pembroke staff rated themselves as follows: Pembroke - K-5 School Data Technology Integration Continuum Teaching Emerge Extend Empower Parent and Student Communication Presentations Productivity Tech Opportunities Innovation Professional Growth Total Percent 32% 64% 4% Learning Emerge Extend Empower Thinking Skills Collaboration Skill acquisition Presentations Research/ Info. Literacy Total Percent 45% 52% 3% Teaching and Learning Emerge Extend Empower % 59% 3% With a 38% overall rating in the Emerge category and only a 3% overall rating in the Empower category, this data indicates that there is an opportunity for growth in the Extend and Empower categories for both Teaching and Learning. Page 3 of 10

4 Student Learning Outcomes Literacy Numeracy Choice SMART Goals By June 2016, 100% of students in each of the grades, 3-5, will read on grade level by earning proficiency or higher on the SRI or will show a minimum of one year s Lexile growth (100L) over the course of the school year. By June 2016, 85% of students in each of the grades, K-5, will demonstrate proficiency or higher on the Multi-Step Problem Solving Common Assessment using the appropriately aligned scoring rubric. By June 2016, K-5 teachers will increase their combined Teaching and Learning self-assessment ratings on the Technology Integration Continuum by 15% in both the Extend and Empower categories for teaching and learning.
