1. 100% of teachers will

differentiate literacy

instruction based on

student need.

Collaborative partnership has

been initiated with Carol

Tomlinson and Catherine

Brighton of UVA, experts in the

best practices of differentiated

instruction. All teachers will be

involved in PD that will increase

our capacity as a school to

recognize and better attend to

students’ academic diversity.

Throughout the months of

December and January, UVA

experts Carol Tomlinson and

Catherine Brighton observed

and engaged in conversation

with teachers regarding their

practices of differentiation. In

February, a whole staff PD

event led by Tomlinson and

Brighton is scheduled.

Observations and one one or

small group consultations

continued with Tomlinson,

Brighton and two grad

students: Hillary Dack and

Mindy Moran. Also, plans

were confirmed for 3 more

workshops scheduled for

April 11, 19 and May 2

SIP Goal: Students will respond positively that they feel included in the classroom.

SIP Objective (SMART - Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, Timebound): A survey will be used to measure the level to which students feel their inclusion is valued in the classroom.





Supporting Data / Gap Evidence: On 2011 Spring Olweus survey, 50.6% of students at Red Hill repored they are teased, yet on the school’s kindness

survey, 93% of students at Red Hill reported they are treated with kindness. There is a disconnect between perception and experience among students.
