TEACHER AND STUDENT SUCCESS ACT PLAN School Year 2021-2022 According to the Teacher and Student Success Act, SB 149, from the 2019 general session, under the section 53G-7-1206 (4)(a), it requires, “An LEA governing board shall adopt an LEA governing board student success framework to provide guidelines and processes for a school within the LEA governing board’s LEA to follow in developing a teacher and student success plan.” School Name Manti Elementary School Due to the Superintendent Analyze Current Data (Current Year) As assessments didn’t happen at the end of the 2019-2020 school year, the assessments below are our most recent information. 2020-2021 End of Year Acadience- 65% student proficiency, 76% student growth 2018-2019 End of Year Acadience- 79% student proficiency 2020-2021 RISE Assessment- Language Arts: 39%, Math: 44%, Science: N/A 2019-2020 RISE Assessment- No Assessments due to COVID 2018-2019 RISE Assessment- Language Arts: 53% Math: 62% Science: 68% 2017-2018 SAGE Assessment- Language Arts: 59% Math: 62% Science: 68% * At the time of writing this plan, the 2020-2021 RISE scores for Science weren’t available. Goal Our goal is to strive to have 100% of students at Manti Elementary show typical, above, or well above growth based on End of Year Acadience Reading data and increase RISE assessments scores by 1% in all assessed academic areas by May 27, 2021. Academic Area Reading, Language Arts, Math, Science, Writing Measurement(s) Acadience Reading Oral Reading Assessment (DIBELS) is given to all students, K-5, three times per year. The assessment is administered in the fall (Beginning of Year or BOY), winter (Middle of Year or MOY), and spring (End of Year or EOY) to determine progress toward end of level benchmark goals. The assessment places students into five areas of growth: well below, below, typical, above, or well above. Benchmarks assessments will be used for ‘progress monitoring’ and be the compass used to determine student growth. In addition, RISE Benchmarks (formative assessments) will be used to monitor progress of student achievement throughout the school year in Math, Language Arts, and Science. The RISE Summative Assessment will be used to measure our overall achievement of our goal. In addition to these measurements, teachers will monitor student progress using district purchased programs such as ALEKS, iReady, Lexia, IXL, and others. Math Progress will also be measured using the new Acadience Math Assessments. The format is very similar to Acadience Reading (DIBELS) in that assessments are given at the beginning, middle, and end of year. Office referrals will be used to measure the effectiveness of the new student wellness center. This important data is vital as students who spend more time in class have more opportunities to become proficient in core academic areas. Those who visit the wellness center will also develop skills to help them cope and develop resilience skills.
