School B has not met reading benchmarks for three years and has a widening achievement gap between student groups. Test score data shows improving performance over time but subgroups like black, Hispanic, disabled, and economically disadvantaged students continue to lag behind state averages. The document proposes several strategies to engage teachers in meaningful instruction responsive to student needs, including professional development, critical friendships, and using technology like smart boards, laptops, and virtual field trips. The goal is to set ambitious growth targets, close the achievement gap, and increase student performance through high-quality training and data-driven instruction.
