The Challenge

STUDENT ENGAGEMENT

VISION: “VISION IS PASSION DOCUMENTED”

Eagles’ Nest Intermediate School will :

• increase student achievement in math by 10% in AIMS testing

• 10% increase in Galileo reading and math quarterly benchmarks

Provide professional development to promote effective teaching instruction • use of technology (strategy 1) within the math curriculum • student-led project-based learning opportunities (strategy

2)

Effective instruction: • 80% student led, project based math learning;• 20% direct instruction by the teacher:

GOALS:When doing weekly data walks in Eagles’ Nest classrooms,:- 80% of classrooms have a

decrease in direct instruction, and an increase in student –led engagement/ projects.

- students collaborating in groups with a common goal

- students to student or student to teacher voices are heard

- Interactions between teacher and student are reciprocal, not one-sided.

OBJECTIVES:•90% of the teachers will gain new curriculum, instruction and assessment Information and knowledge (18 out of 20 teachers)

•80% of the teachers will integrate the new knowledge and information into their curriculum and assessment methodology (16 out of 20 teachers)

•80% of the teachers will apply the new knowledge and information through new pedagogy (16 out of 20 teachers).

MEASUREMENT:

Goal: • 100% of ENIS students meet or exceed in

math as measured by the 2014 AIMS;• 100% of ENIS are highly engaged in math

learning 80% of the time.
