2023 – 2024 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 typical progress on the end-of-year Acadience Reading Assessment for the 2023-2024 school year.

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

• Data from various screeners and diagnostic assessments such as PAST Diagnostic, the LETRS Survey, and the Acadience Assessments have helped us determine that offering additional support to students in Reading was a critical need. Acadience Reading Assessments will be administered to students at the beginning of the year, middle of the year, and end of the school year to measure progress.

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

1. Student needs will be identified using data gathered from the Acadience Reading Assessment and other phonics/reading assessments. Students scoring below grade level will receive Tier II and/or Tier III interventions in addition to whole group and differentiated classroom instruction. Data will be used to screen and progress monitor students on an ongoing basis in order to design effective interventions, adjust instructional groupings, and measure student growth in identified areas. Paraprofessionals will be hired and trained to assist Teachers in providing reading interventions for students in grades K-6. ($27,903)

2. Teachers will meet weekly in collaborative teams to review standards/curriculum, develop common formative assessments, analyze data, modify instruction, and determine the 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 classes taught by a paraprofessional. ($4,250)

3. Teachers in the classroom will utilize technology to increase student engagement, promote learning, differentiate instruction, and provide assessment practice. ($8,250) Repairs will be made to technology as needed. ($500)

Goal 2 - Mathematics

• Based on Pathways to Progress Schoolwide Data, 65% or more of our K-6 students will show typical, above, or well above typical progress on an end-of-year Acadience Math Assessment for the 2023-2024 school year.

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

• Data from Grade Level CFAs and RISE Assessment helped us determine that offering additional support to students in math was a critical need. Acadience Math Assessments will be administered to students at the beginning of the year, middle of the year, and end of the school year to measure progress.

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

1. Student needs will be identified using data gathered through grade-level common formative assessments on essential learning targets, RISE benchmark assessments, and other grade assessments. Students scoring below grade level will receive Tier II and/or Tier III interventions in addition to whole group and differentiated classroom instruction. Data will be used to screen and progress monitor students on an ongoing basis in order to design effective interventions, adjust instructional groupings, and measure student growth in identified areas. Paraprofessionals will be hired and trained to assist Teachers in providing targeted instruction and intervention. ($10,464)

2. Teachers will meet weekly in collaborative teams to review standards/curriculum, develop common formative assessments, analyze data, modify instruction, and determine the 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 a computer class taught by a paraprofessional. ($4,250)

3. Teachers in the classroom will utilize technology to increase student engagement, promote learning, differentiate instruction, and provide assessment practice. ($8,250) Repairs will be made to technology as needed. ($500)

4. Teachers in the classroom will utilize technology to increase student engagement, promote learning, differentiate instruction, and provide assessment practice. ($8000) Repairs will be made to technology as needed. ($500)

Additional Funds

Goals 1 and 2  

• If the distribution is more than the estimate, additional funds will be used to:
  • Purchase more technology and/or increase the amount of aide time or hire additional personnel.
