    • Strategies to enhance academic skills in preparation for assessment

      Posted by admin account on 7/1/2019 2:00:00 PM

      In our efforts to enhance our children's education and address skills needed for state assessments, the following strategies were developed for 2018-2019. These strategies were monitored throughout the school year.

      • Individualized evaluation of student performance on a vertical grade level articulation.
        • We reviewed each students scores from prior assessments to determine strengths and weaknesses.
      • Individualized instruction with students on areas of need with concentration on their needed skill sets.
      • Assesment ready instruction.
        • Students were taught on strategies to take a standard assesment.
      • Concentrated effort on teacher stability in key grade levels.
        • We attempted to not move teachers around grade levels.
      • Technology targeted instruction on how to use the computer to take a standardized assessment.
      • Focus on Social and Emotional learning strategies.

      We will continue to revew, revise and implement new and innovative methods to enhance our students learning.
