CIWP Strategies

Why Strategy 1: Curricular Design?

Qualitative Quantitative

• Educators vary in the level of units they have in place to address a variety of learners.

• Educators are eager to have opportunities to co-plan.

• Increasing our knowledge of content through unit design will support a more differentiated learning environment.

• Within Mathematics, we are performing better than 58% of schools with the amount of growth our students are making. (NWEA)

• During our winter assessment, 49% of our students were on track to meet their goal.

7/28/16

13

Why Strategy 2: Social Emotional Learning?

Qualitative Quantitative• Currently, there is no

school-wide approach to proactively responding to student behavior.

• Some educators currently conduct daily morning meeting/advisory but lack resources for this area and consistency.

• 68% of our misconducts results in out-of-school suspensions

• Student attendance: 95.4%

Why Strategy 3: Reading Strategies for Diverse Learners

Qualitative Quantitative

• Our Learning Behavioral Specialists (LBS) are not all consistently trained on a reading assessment to measure progress.

• Our LBSs do not have a current method of brainstorming with one another around best practices.

• Our Diverse Learners are scoring only better that 20% of Diverse Learners nationally.

• On Winter Assessments: 44% are on target to meet their goal in reading & 22% are about the 50th percentile
