Luther Jackson Middle School

Region 2

Raven Jones, Principal

Background: Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER III) is a federal grant which requires that spending be used in specific areas. Part of the Fairfax County Public Schools spending plan identifies funding to be used for Unfinished Learning and Student Academic and Social, Emotional, Mental Health (Wellness) Needs. Schools have been given funding allocations to support the academic and wellness needs of students. Schools are required to create plans in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Wellness highlighting the strategies they will use to support these areas using their ESSER III funding. These strategies are shown below.

English Language Arts

Outcome: Ensure students are making sufficient progress to be on grade level in English Language Arts.

Goal: The combined unadjusted school pass rate on the Reading SOLs for all students and subgroups will increase by 75% or more in the Spring of 2023.

Strategy 1: Students will use literacy supports and strategies to show proficiency/ mastery in Tier 1 instruction.

Strategy 2: Students will complete regular formative assessments so that teachers will adjust instruction to meet the needs of all learners, and arrange appropriate TIer 2 support.

Strategy 3:Students identified through the MTSS process will participate in Tier 3 support to build their literacy skills.

 

 

Mathematics

Outcome: Ensure students are making sufficient progress to be on grade level in Mathematics.

Goal: The combined unadjusted school pass rate on the Mathematics SOLs for all students and subgroups will increase  by 75%  or more in the Spring of 2023.

Strategy 1: Students will use math supports and strategies to show proficiency/ mastery in Tier 1 instruction.

Strategy 2:  Students will complete regular formative assessments so that teachers will adjust instruction to meet the needs of all learners, and arrange appropriate TIer 2 support.

Strategy 3:  Students identified through the MTSS process will participate in Tier 3 support to build their math skills.

 

Wellness

Outcome: Ensure students feel safe, included, and supported in the school environment.

Goal: By the end of the 2022-23 school year, Luther Jackson Middle School will use responsive advisory meetings and student enrichment and intervention strategies to build positive relationships, a stronger sense of belonging, and cultural awareness among our students, as evident by an increase in schoolwide scores on the Belonging topic of the SEL Screener from 36% to 58% reporting favorable (FCPS modal peak; 22% increase) as well as a 10% decrease on the needs assessment in the level of assistance needed related to making friends, managing stress and anxiety, and identifying a trusted adult within the school.

Strategy 1: Provide Tier 1 SEL strategies in all classroom and learning spaces.

Strategy 2: Provide opportunities for student voice and agency regarding school operations.

Strategy 3: Conduct Tier 2 targeted intervention and enrichment groups.

 

Portrait of a Graduate (POG)

Outcome: All students will complete a POG Presentation of Learning (POL) by 2025-26.

Goal: By the end of SY 2022-23, 100% of Jackson students will demonstrate increased understanding of POG, its relevance to their future success, as measured by the pre- and post- POG survey given to all students.

Strategy 1: Develop an understanding with students and staff about why POG attributes and skills positively impact students within and beyond school.

Strategy 2: Collaborative teams & departments will align content knowledge and skills with POG attributes and skills.

Strategy 3: Teachers will design classroom learning opportunities that elevate student voice and increase student engagement.
