District Data 2006-2007


A Building Approach with Primary Accountability

Primary planning and program change will be on an elementary school-by-school basis. Each elementary school has an improvement plan currently in place that uses a continuous improvement model. The plan now requires a focus on the 90 % reading goal. The plan will also require a yearly report to the Instruction Committee of the School Board by faculty and administration on the progress toward the 90 % reading goal, NHEIAP results, NWEA results, and use of EVAAS for instructional improvement. The plan also requires the use of collaboration skills using the adaptive school model
.
Primary accountability is with building principals. The building principal will develop the data driven decision making model, using collaboration skills, and instructional leadership skills to focus the staff on the 90 % reading goal.

Recent studies conclude that 85 to 90% of even our poorest readers can be taught to read at grade level. The commitment of Success for All is to do whatever it takes to see that every child makes it through third grade at or near grade level reading. Robert Slavin
