Kyra+and+Carrie's+Action+Plan

Our goal for the 2011-2012 school year is to have an online resource for second grade teachers to access additional support materials to aid in Reading Street instruction to meet the literacy needs of all second grade students. This will be measured by comparing the growth of second grade students from the Reading Street baseline assessment (administered in August) to each segment of each unit test throughout the year (comprehension, phonics, vocabulary, mechanics, usage and grammar). A growth measure of +25% would be measured as successful.

Action Plan: 1. All second grade (and Title I staff) will take a needs survey to assess the support materials needed (and what is currently used) this will be administered by the curriculum director/team. 2. The curriculum team will compile electronic resources that will meet the support needs of the grade 2 teachers (as set by survey and the core Reading Street program). 3. The curriculum team will organize electronic resources into a WikiSpace (or similar Wiki) format. All information will be organized by the specific unit of Reading Street in which the resources would support instruction of those skills. 4. All second grade, as well as Title I staff, will be given access to the WikiSpace. Teachers will be able to add additional resources when possible. The resource WikiSpace will be reassessed for effectiveness over time with a survey (given by the curriculum team) as well as student achievement on Reading Street Unit tests. All data will be compiled within each building (done by the Title I staff of those buildings) and the curriculum team will organize the data for review.
