English Language Arts

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

Goal: By June 2024, the percentage of students meeting Spring RI benchmark of proficient or above will increase by at least 5 percentage points (to 58% for all students, 26% for SPED students, and 10% for EL students)

Strategy 1: Increase the frequency of formative integrated reading and writing tasks (i.e. reading responses, annotations).

Strategy 2:  Increase the frequency of formative and summative assessments that include integrated reading and writing tasks.

Strategy 3: Increase explicit teaching of writing and grammar.

Strategy 4: Engage students in co-constructing ways to foster positive relationships.

Mathematics

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

Goal: By June 2024, the percentage of students passing the mathematics SOL will increase by at least 10 percentage points (to 72% for all students, 37% for SPED students, and 28% for EL students)

Strategy 1: Improve teachers’ implementation of the Framework for Engaging & Student-Centered Mathematics Instruction.

Strategy 2:  Utilize small groups and intervention to increase opportunities for students who need more practice to master standards.

Strategy 3: Increase teacher implementation of explicit instruction and other components of effective mathematics intervention.

Chronic Absenteeism

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

Goal: By June 12, 2024 the number of students deemed chronically absent at Jackson MS will decrease by at least 5 percentage points for the 2023-2024 school year, as compared to the 2022-2023 school year which ended with 19.9 % chronic absenteeism. Therefore, our goal is that no more than 14% of Luther Jackson Middle School's students will be chronically absent for 2023-2024 school year. We were projected to be at 22% chronic absenteeism at the end of 2022-2023, and ended the 2022-2023 school year at 19.9% chronic absenteeism.

Strategy 1: Conduct check-ins with at-risk students.

Strategy 2: Target Tier 2 Connections with Families and Students.

Strategy 3: Partner with teachers and parents about importance of school attendance and to encourage attendance for at-risk students.
