TSSA Plan 2019-2020
H. Guy Child Elementary
Teacher and Student Success Plan
Principal Karen Neiswender
Goal # 1
Each goal must promote improved student performance and student academic achievement.
Goal #1
The goal for reading is to have students in grades K-3 make 60% typical or above growth on Pathways to Progress and 80% of our students in grades 4-6 score at benchmark in reading by the end of the year, as measured by DIBELS.
Goal #1 Action Step
The school will identify our student needs using data gathered through the DIBELS assessment. The data will be used to screen and progress monitor students so teachers can plan for effective interventions and to adjust instructional groupings.
Two aides will be hired to provide interventions to individuals and small groups of at-risk readers and assist with DIBELS.
Teachers will also be involved with professional development planned and directed by our CLT (Collaborative Leadership Team). Professional development will be delivered during faculty meetings, early-out and professional development days.
Teachers will be paid a stipend for participation on the CLT and for participation during our Literacy Night.
In addition, we will increase the hours of our part-time counselor from 20 hours a week to 24 hours per week and hire a counseling aide to help support the academic reading goal. Both the counselor and counseling aide will work with students on improving their academic performance through strategies to manage their stress and emotions. The counselor and counseling aide will also work with families to improve attendance. Attendance is critical in order for students to be successful.
Substitutes hired allowing upper grade teachers to attend conferences and to use DIBELs for assessment.
A SMART TV purchased for library. This will improve the instruction in the library.
