All members of the team December 2012 Results will improve by 5% on the 2 nd Grade SCANTRON Reading Test 4. Using the Gap Analysis and the analysis of the SCANTRON score report as a guide, develop lessons and learning tasks that are not currently being addressed or emphasized in Rigby Literacy by Design. Integrate these lessons into the 2 nd grade reading curriculum. January 2013- June 2013 Results will improve by 5% on the 2 nd Grade SCANTRON Reading Test
Team SMART Goal Our Current Reality: Second grade reading assessments are administered every two weeks as a way to monitor students progress; however, they are frequently not being used to guide future instruction.

School Goal(s): Improve student achievement in reading comprehension by developing common formative at each grade level to monitor progress and guide instruction. Strategies and Action Steps 1. Compile the 2 nd grade formative assessments that are currently used in reading. Analyze the questions and determine how well/if/what parts align with the Common Core reading Standards. Who is responsible Target Date or Timeline Evidence of Effectiveness October 24, 2012- We will have a November 16, 2012 document indicating which assessments currently being used align with the CC reading standards and areas where assessments need to be developed. Our SMART Goal: The number of students receiving a grade of 3 (meets standards) or 4 (exceeds standards) in reading on the June progress report cards will increase by 5% for the 2012-2013 school 2. Create a reading comprehension rubric for each comprehension standard to determine what entails a grade of a 1 (needs improvement), 2 (making progress towards meeting the standard), 3 (meeting November 16, 2012- December 20, 2012 We will have common reading comprehension rubrics to accurately assess all 2 nd grade students.

Develop two common formative assessments for each reading unit of instruction that are aligned to the 2 nd grade Common Core reading comprehension standards. The assessments will be administered to all 2 nd grade students once every two weeks to identify students experiencing difficulty. They will be used to guide instruction. November 16, 2012- June 2013 (Stay one unit ahead of the current unit of instruction when developing assessments and finish developing common formative assessments that will be used at the beginning of the next school year over the summer) The number of students receiving a 3 or 4 on their report card will increase by at least 5%. 4. Provide intervention to individual or small- groups of students who did not receive a grade of a 3 or 4 on the common formative assessment. Basic Skills reading teacher, Primary special education teacher, ELL teacher, 2 nd grade classroom Two times per week throughout the school year. Intervention can be provided before or after school or by support staff during the school day. The number of students qualifying to receive intervention at the beginning of this initiative will decrease by May 2013. The number of students receiving a 3 or 4 on
their report card will increase by at least 5%. 5. Create resources that will be used to provide parents with strategies to help their children with reading comprehension skills at home. SPINOUT TEACHER, SPED teacher and Basic Skills teacher will create/compile resources that parents will be able to use to support their children with reading comprehension at home. November 16 th - December 20 th Parent Survey in May, 2013 Useful handout or webpage with reading comprehension resources will be created for parents to reference at home.
