School Innovation and Improvement Plan

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.
