ELC School Improvement Plan 24-25

School Improvement Plan 24-25

Our school is chasing high skill growth and development for each student within a strong and supportive learning environment that values teamwork/collaboration/partnerships, along with the diverse experiences that our families, staff and students bring to the Early Learning Center. Together we can make a difference for each of our students.

We commit to:

excellent instruction through universal use of three of our nine LSSD instructional strategies
strengthening the effectiveness of our Collaborative Educator teams
achieving equitable outcomes for each student through effective use of Student Growth Goals

By committing to these things, we will achieve the following:

1. English Language Arts (ELA): By the end of the 2024-25 school year, 85% of ECEAP students will meet or exceed widely held expectations (Literacy) on the June checkpoints as measured by Teaching Strategies GOLD. (Initial Fall 2024 Data - 32% Meeting Literacy Standard. Fall 2023 had 58% Meeting Literacy Standard)

2. MATH: By the end of the 2024-25 school year, 80% of ECEAP students will meet or exceed widely held expectations (Mathematics) on the June checkpoints as measured by Teaching Strategies GOLD. (Initial Fall 2024 Data - 38% Meeting Mathematics Standard. Fall 2023 had 55% Meeting Standard)

3. Social Emotional Learning (SEL): By the end of the 2024-25 school year, 80% of ECEAP students will meet or exceed developmental social emotional expectations as measured by Teaching Strategies GOLD assessment. (Initial Fall 2024 Data - 52% Meeting Standard. Fall 2023 had 71% Meeting Standard)

In addition to supporting all students experiencing barriers to attending, our building will focus on returning students that attended less than 90% of last school year (27 Students), missing more than 2 days a month on average, excused or unexcused, and will improve their attendance during the 2024-25 school year.

We will monitor our progress during the year through:

Collaborative Educator Team meetings that focus on data review of common assessments
The monitoring of outcomes for intervention and enrichment opportunities provided to students

Our Tier One Strategies -- we commit to excellent instruction through the universal use of

Co-Created Classroom Norms
Strategic Grouping
Positive Greetings at the Door
Morning Meetings

Collaborative Educator Team Work

ELC Collaborative Educator Teams will identify essential standards for each domain of our new CKLA curriculum.
Our Collaborative Educator Teams will examine data and implement tier one and tier two classroom based instruction strategies to support all students.
Our Collaborative Educator Teams will plan interventions to support student skill growth in all areas of development (Behavior, social/emotional, communication, cognitive, motor, and adaptive)

We will achieve equitable outcomes for students using Student Growth Goals......

When staff work collectively to solve persistent problems of practice in education through inquiry and innovation
When staff partner with diverse students, families, community partners, and other early learning champions to improve classrooms, schools and districts
