The document outlines an 8 step process used at 3 elementary schools to increase student success. The process includes staff buy-in, data-driven instruction, calendar development focused on standards, targeted instruction based on assessment analysis, various assessments, tutorial and enrichment programs, maintenance of assessment focus and student progress monitoring, and oversight of implementation through data meetings and walkthroughs. The goal is to refine existing procedures to better meet individual student needs and support continued academic growth.
