An at-a-glace look at outcome goals for this academic school year.
School Improvement and Innovation Plan
- 2024-2025
- Olde Creek Elementary School
- Region 5
- Courtney Korb, Principal
Reading by 3rd Grade
Outcomes
- The percentage of EIRI identified students in grades K-3, using the VALLSS screener benchmarks, will increase by 5 percentage points from fall 2024 to spring 2025.
Strategies
- Use embedded formative assessments in the new core curriculum to guide tier 1 and tier 2 instructional decisions.
- Increase use of data to plan instruction and monitor progress during intervention to ensure that students demonstrating risk master foundational skills.
- Leverage use of daily, explicit language comprehension lessons from the new core curriculum for building knowledge and vocabulary.
- Increase teacher content knowledge of evidence-based literacy instruction aligned with science-based reading research to improve implementation of new core curriculum.
Mathematics
Outcomes
- By the end of the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of students with disabilities passing the grades 3-6 Mathematics SOL will increase from 46% to 65% (unadjusted).
- By the end of the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of students passing the grades 3-6 Mathematics SOL will increase from 79% to 84% (unadjusted).
Strategies
- Improve teachers’ implementation of Framework for Engaging & Student-Centered Mathematics Instruction.
- Increase teacher's implementation of strategies and conversation structures that increase academic talk between students related to Shift 4: from show and tell to share and compare.
- Increase teachers' content knowledge and implementation of the 2023 FCPS mathematics program of studies.
Portrait of a Graduate
Outcome
- By June 2025, 100% of students will demonstrate growth from BOY to EOY in ability to discuss the importance of a POG attribute
(Criterion 3 of POG POL rubric)
Strategies
- Select a POG skill from the vertical articulation charts (Resource 1) to focus on with students and explicitly teach the skill; if at an IB school, select an ATL skill from the IB & POG Crosswalk (Resource 2) to focus on with students and explicitly teach the skill.
- Leverage goal-setting and feedback conversation templates with students to discuss learning goals and develop a plan to achieve them.
- Dedicate time for regular student reflection (Resource 1; Resource 2 for IB Schools) - such as turn and talks, quick writes, or silent thinking to self - to process the POG/ATL skills they utilized during meaningful learning experiences and consider how they can continue to grow.
