- Strategy 1: Our school will build a unified culture of instructional excellence by leveraging PLCs, coaching cycles, and professional learning as goal-oriented, student-centered, and data-driven teams that design instruction to maximize engagement, foster meaningful discourse, and ensure teacher clarity.
- Strategy 2: Teachers will implement strategies from the 7 Steps to a Language Rich Classroom Environment to ensure that students are provided with opportunities to engage in discourse throughout the lesson.
- Strategy 3: Coaches will support teachers in learning and implementing research-based differentiated practices within Tier 1. Differentiation will be student-centered, based on assessment data (DIBELS, VALLSS), and Map data for each learner (phonics, word rec, comprehension).
- Strategy 4: Train SPED staff in Tier 1 instruction programs and approved interventions and programs to support reading and math Tier I instruction.
- Strategy 5: Prioritizing SPED teachers attending PLCs to provide input on appropriate accommodations for students to be able to access Tier 1 instruction.
Goal 2: In the 2025-2026 school year, KWBES will reduce the number of students who are chronically absent by at least 5%.
- Strategy 1: Intentional relationship-building with students and families of students whose absences put them at risk of chronic absenteeism.
- Strategy 2: Promote communal accountability/support for regular attendance
Goal 3: Increase the sense of welcome and belonging for all students, staff, and visitors, aiming for an average rating of 4.5 (division-level average) on the survey item “I feel welcomed when I enter the school” by the end of the school year.
- Strategy 1: Provide professional learning for staff on culturally responsive and welcoming interactions.
- Strategy 2: Enhance visitor and family experience by providing multilingual communication and interpreters at all family engagement events and by developing a system for welcoming new families.
