Goal

All students will improve their conceptual understanding of math by using deductive

and inductive reasoning skills to analyze, evaluate, and solve problems. The middle

school will incorporate problem based learning and CCSS in order to build the problem

solving ability of students and increase rigor. All groups will focus on Open Response

items in order to improve Open Response scores. All grades will also focus on closing

any existing gaps between ALL students and TAGG students.

Benchmark

In 2013, the middle school had 77.46% of ALL students score proficient or advanced.

They also had 73.04% of TAGG students score proficient or advanced. The goal is to

increase the % proficient or advanced so that the middle school meets the AMO set

forth.

Intervention: Marked Tree Middle School will incorporate various activities in order to implement a

comprehensive standards based mathematics model. These activities will focus on research based

strategies, curriculum alignment, and professional development to ensure fidelity of implementation.

Intervention: Marked Tree Middle School is implementing Response to Intervention (RTI). Response to

intervention integrates assessment and intervention within a multi-level prevention system to

maximize student achievement and to reduce behavior problems. With RTI, Marked Tree Middle School

will identify students at risk for poor learning outcomes, monitor student progress, provide evidence-

based interventions and adjust the intensity and nature of those interventions depending on a

student’s responsiveness, and identify students with learning disabilities and other disabilities.

Priority 2:

Marked Tree Middle School will concentrate literacy improvement in reading

comprehension and written expression. Consistently we have seen a downward trend

in Benchmark scores and grades as students make the move from elementary to junior

high. In order to address this issue we have developed a 6-8 middle school to create a

more consistent environment for this age group in order to ease their transition into

higher grades. This environment will consist of more collaboration between the middle

school teachers in order to restore equity in the learning and development of all

students.

Supporting

Data:

1. In 2013, in sixth grade 80% scored proficient or advanced with 55% African-

Americans scoring proficient or advanced on the ACTAAP exam. In 2012, in

sixth grade, 63% scored proficient or advanced with 52% of African Americans

scoring proficient or advanced and 57% of Economically Disadvantaged

students scoring proficient or above. In 2011, sixth graders were 76%

proficient or advanced with 75% of African Americans and 73% of

Economically disadvantaged scoring proficient or advanced. The three year

trend analysis shows that the lowest areas were in reading--particularly

vocabulary acquisition, comprehension, and open response.

2. In 2013, in seventh grade, 78% scored proficient or advanced while African-

Americans scored proficient or advanced at 67%. In 2012, in seventh grade,

86% scored proficient or advanced with 72% of African Americans and 84% of

Economically Disadvantaged students scoring proficient or above. In 2011,

49% scored proficient or above while 50% of African Americans and 44% of

Economically Disadvantaged students met targets. The three year trend

analysis shows great weaknesses with our TAGG groups. Additionally,

weaknesses were greater in reading--vocabulary, comprehension, and open

response.

3. In 2013, in eighth grade 88% scored proficient or advanced, while 78% of

African-Americans scored proficient or advanced. In 2012, in eighth grade

81% of students scored proficient or above with 78% of African Americans and

76% of Economically Disadvantaged students scoring proficient or advanced.

In 2011, 76% of students, 77% of African Americans and 76% of Economically

Disadvantaged students scored proficient or above. The three year trend

analysis shows our lowest identified areas include content, style, and reading

comprehension.

4. In 2013, 2012, and 2011 MARKED TREE MIDDLE SCHOOL met our attendance

Goal.

5. MARKED TREE MIDDLE SCHOOL MET THE REQUIRED ATTENDANCE rate for

2013, 2012, and 2011.

Goal

All students will improve their critical thinking and writing skills in literacy. The middle

school will incorporate project based learning and CCSS in order to meet the demands

of increased rigor. ALL groups will focus on open response and reading comprehension

and analysis items in order to improve open response scores and MC scores. ALL

grades will also focus on closing any existing gaps between ALL and TAGG students.

Benchmark

In 2013, the middle school had 80% of ALL students score proficient or advanced in

literacy. They also had 75% of TAGG students score proficient or advanced. The goal is

to increase or at least maintain the number of proficient or advanced of ALL and TAGG

students, as we are currently exceeding AMO. The trend analysis shows that middle

school students struggle with content and style in writing and open response in

reading.

Intervention: INTEGRATE THE LANGUAGE ARTS CURRICULUM WITHIN THE CCSS USING VERTICAL

AND HORIZONTAL ALIGNMENT, which includes implementing research-based strategies in reading

comprehension, vocabulary recognition, grammar instruction, and writing across the curriculum using

Priority 3: Will concentrate literacy improvement in science comprehension and written

expression.

Supporting Data:

1. MIDDLE LEVEL BENCHMARK EXAM SCIENCE: On the 2013 benchmark 24% of

the seventh grade scored proficient or advanced in science. The lowest

strands were nature of science and earth & space science.

2. In 20010, 2011 and 2012 MARKED TREE MIDDLE SCHOOL met our

attendance goal of 91.13%.

3.

Goal

All students will demonstrate growth in science reading and writing skills and

strategies. In Grade 7, for the subpops of Combined, African-American, and

Economically Disadvantaged, students will show growth in the Physical Science, Open-

Response area as well as in multiple-choice content.

Benchmark

Currently, our 7th Grade Science scores for the year of 2012-2013 are 24% scoring

proficient/advanced. Our goal is to increase these scores by at least 25% for the

upcoming school year.

Intervention: Marked Tree Middle School will utilize data to plan lessons and determine effective

instructional strategies that will improve and sustain academic improvement in science. These

strategies will focus on the incorporation of technology for learning, research based strategies, and

professional development to ensure fidelity of implementation.
