CI: Achievement

The district special education MCA proficiency rates in reading and math will increase 5% by June 30, 2015 (Reading from 61.2% to 64.3%; Math from 47.3% to 49.7%)

HOW?

Continued use of our Crosswalk document indicating performance on MCAs and NWEAs.

PLC work that focuses on data analysis of individual students, monitoring progress, adjusting interventions

Use data to inform IEP goals and objectives and to monitor and report progress.

Partner with general education in the Language Arts Curriculum review and adoption and RTI

Increase parent engagement in student expectations and progress including instruction resources for the home environment

CI: Instructional Settings

By December 1, 2015 Hastings child count will meet state targets for instructional settings in all areas.

How?

Increase in guided study provided as needed rather than placing students in a Skills (special ed resource) Class.

Increase support and provide more clear expectations for co-teaching/cooperative teaching, particularly at grade 10.

Increase the delivery of related services in the general education classroom (push-in)

How (Cont.)

IEP managers will be inserviced on the importance of serving students in the LRE. Where possible, that means providing specialized instruction in the general education classroom.

Opportunities to expand cooperative and co-teaching will be encouraged at the district and building levels.

Actively participate with the Department of Teaching and Learning Language Arts Curriculum review process in 2013-14 to enhance core literacy instruction and materials.

Monitoring Process
