Trust Lands Plan

(2020-2021)

2020–2021 Land Trust Plan

Utah State Board of Education Reports

Goal #1 - Reading

  • Based on Pathways to Progress Schoolwide Data, 65% or more of our K-6 students will show typical, above, or well above progress on end of year DIBELS Assessment.

Identify the measurement(s) you will use to determine if you are making progress towards the goal.

  • DIBELS assessments will be administered to students at the beginning of the year, mid-year, and at the end of the school year to measure progress.

Outline the steps of the action plan to reach this goal.

  1. Land trust monies will be spent to secure the services of paraprofessionals. Using the  DIBELS Assessment children will be identified as intensive, strategic, or benchmark level. The instructional coach and paraprofessionals will provide small group reading intervention services for those students identified as intensive in grades K-6. The Instructional Coach will coordinate a cross age tutoring program.
  2. Teachers will meet weekly in collaborative teams to review standards/curriculum, develop common formative assessments, analyze data, modify instruction, and determine placement of students for weekly interventions and enrichment activities facilitated by a combination of teachers and aides.  This collaborative time will be created when students attend Computer, P.E. and FAME. The computer specialist will focus on basic computer skills, keyboarding proficiency, and the use of computer-based programs which enhance academic instruction. The P.E. specialist will expose students to a number of different physical activities that encourage healthy lifestyles. The FAME instructors will provide all students with music and art experiences.
  3. Teachers in the classroom will utilize technology to increase student engagement, promote learning, and provide assessment practice through the use of leased portable Chromebook labs.
  4. Imagine Learning will be used to support the reading program in grades K-3.
  5. Teachers will be involved in professional development through colleague observations, school and district trainings, and workshops or conferences.

Goal #2 - Mathematics

  • Student RISE math proficiency will increase by 5%.

Identify the measurement(s) you will use to determine if you are making progress towards the goal.

  • End-of-level RISE math results will be compared from Spring 2020 to Spring 2021 for students in grades 3 – 6.

Outline the steps of the action plan to reach this goal.

  1. Land trust monies will be spent to secure the services of paraprofessionals to work with students not proficient on math grade level essential learning targets (ELTS).
  2. Teachers will meet weekly in collaborative teams to review standards/curriculum, develop common formative assessments, analyze data, modify instruction, and determine placement of students for weekly interventions  and enrichment activities facilitated by a combination of teachers and aides.  This collaborative time will be created when students attend Computer, P.E. and FAME. The computer specialist will focus on basic computer skills, keyboarding proficiency, and the use of computer-based programs which enhance academic instruction. The P.E. specialist will expose students to a number of different physical activities that encourage healthy lifestyles. The FAME instructors will provide all students with music and art experiences.
  3. Teachers in the classroom will utilize technology to increase student engagement, promote learning, and provide assessment practice through the use of leased portable Chromebook labs.
  4. Teachers will be involved in professional development through colleague observations, school and district trainings, and workshops or conferences.
