Instructional staff reviewed student
achievement data focusing on strategies and
activities that were successful in closing the
overall achievement gap between the top
and bottom 30% of our students. Staff
discovered the bottom 30 % is making
steady growth in all core content areas. The
upper 30% of students are maintaining their
high academic status and or improving in all
core content areas.
Overall growth is a direct result of the
fidelity of instruction in all core content
areas. Consistent presentation of
strategies/concepts outlined in the School
Improvement Plan led to increased
achievement in the majority of Green
Elementary students.
Green’s instructional staff believes the core
of our School Improvement Plan had been
effective and will keep many of the
strategies and activities in place. A few new
resources and focus changes will be added
to the 2016-2017 School Improvement Plan
in order to keep student achievement
moving in a positive direction.
The instructional staff at Green will focus on
close and critical reading skills using Text
Dependent Questions (Fisher and Frey) as a
guiding text for the upcoming school year.

increasing the achievement of the bottom 30% of students.
How does the implementation data that has been collected
show that the adults are doing what the Action Steps
describe. Achievement data may come from interim assessments using
sources such as NWEA, district created common assessments, or classroom
formative assessments. Evidence for adult implementation might include
minutes of grade level/content team meetings, walkthrough data,
demonstration lessons, etc. Add data reports to this pdf. The Users’ Guide

individual students coming to school on a
more regular basis. Lastly, students who
were mentored completed more
homework assignments and felt more
connected to school overall.
Mentors have agreed to increase the
number of meetings times they have
with their students this school year.
The mentors at Green who have been
mentoring Green students have
increased the number of meeting times
