schools in the district in all 3 grades.
 7th and 8th grade Math is consistently lower than that

5. Plan
 We are a team. Teachers, Administrators, Parents
and students must all work together to increase test
scores.
 Teachers- Use data to create small groups and guide
instruction
 Administrators- help teachers by supplementing
staff to assist with interventions
 Parents- Be involved, have students at school
 Students- work hard and do their best

6. School Wide Plan
 Look at Level 1 and 2 students- what skills do the
interventionists need to focus on
 Target interventions for all students to ensure they
are moving forward
 Provide parents with resources to help students at
home
 Have quarterly meeting with parents to discuss data
and plan

7. Conclusion
