Overview

Current State*Focus has been on programs of support*Increased needs for the following at risk indicators: transiency, mental health, and disconnected youth*Maximizing services to support many students who are struggling—beyond those who meet the at risk indicators defined by DE

Overview

Desired State—Process Focus not Program Focus*Focus on processes of the MTSS (RTI) Model

Tier I—Supporting all kids with academic and social emotional needs (PLC’s are crucial)—will meet 80% or more kids’ needs

Tier II—use data to align services to needs for those who need supplemental support (10-15%)

Tier III—use data to align most intense services to students

Focus #1

Success will be measured by…

1a. By May 2015, we will have baseline data collected for all power standards in literacy and math for all students.

1b. In the fall of 2014, 60% of students will respond favorably to the Iowa Youth Survey in targeted growth areas (staff relationships and bullying) in grades 6, 8, and 11.

1c. By May 2015, we will district wide baseline data collected for office referrals based on the same criteria.

Looking at Data…in a nutshell

1a. Baseline is telling us that if our goal is to have 90% of our students meeting proficiency targets aligned to 90% of the power standards on our DCA’s, we have some growth opportunities. Right now, about 50% of our students (K-12) are meeting proficiency on the power standards with our DCA’s at the first assessment point.

Looking at Data…in a nutshell

1a. Iowa Youth Survey is taken every two years and is only measuring responses from 6th, 8th , and 11th grades. It is not cohort data. We will be using an annual measurement with the Gallup Poll Survey in grades 5-12 in the future.

Goal 1 Data: SCHOOL STAFF/STUDENT SUPPORT

2012 Left/Green is favorable 2014 Left/Blue is favorable

Goal 2 Data: Bullying2012 Left/Green is favorable 2014 Left/Blue is favorable

Looking at Data…in a nutshell

1c. Our baseline data has been collected through Infinite Campus for office referrals based on the same criteria defining “major” and “minor” discipline incidents. Our PBIS schools office referral data declined significantly, while the HS data increased.
