2022-2023 End of Year Acadience-  66% student proficiency, 77% student Growth

2021-2022 End of year Acacience-   62% student proficiency, 74% student growth

2023-2024 RISE Assessment- Language Arts: 42% Math: 42%  Science: 55%

2021-2022 RISE Assessment- Language Arts: 44% Math: 48%  Science: 48%    

2. 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 Math Scores by 5% by May 24, 2025.

3. Academic Area

Reading and Math

4. Measurement(s)

1. 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.   
2. In addition, RISE Benchmarks (formative assessments) will be used to monitor progress of student achievement  throughout the school year in Math and Language Arts.  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 purchased programs such as ALEKS, Imagine Math, Lexia, IXL, and others.  
3. 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.
4. Office referrals, attendance, etc. will be used to measure the effectiveness of the 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. 

5. Action Plan Steps

The action steps below will help learners grow in all areas (social, emotional, academic, etc.) to help them progress in reading and math proficiency.
