This document proposes a professional development plan for Eastern Wisconsin Middle School to address low scores in design process, evaluation process, and reading levels. The plan aims to create collaborative staff development opportunities focused on improving reading scores and staff assessment through committees using the Measure of Academic Progress (MAP) and Read 180 programs. MAP is an adaptive, computer-based student assessment that provides convenient, efficient, cost-effective and effective testing. The proposal also includes a timeline for MAP and Read 180 implementation and associated professional development workshops on strategic comprehension, vocabulary, using data, and developing independent readers.
