We believe in implementing a comprehensive framework to fully operationalize a multi-tiered system of supports addressing academic and non-academic student needs to remove barriers to learning. 

1. Tier I Instruction - Plan high quality Tier 1 instruction where all students engage in the learning with AKS/learning goal/Achievement Level Descriptors at the expected level.

2. Small Group Instruction - Differentiate learning (remediation and enrichment) using small group instruction. 

3. Targeted Interventions and Supports -  Offer 3 days/week during JAG Time with a focus on small group instruction. Supports include iReady, Achieve 3000, Amplify, Read 180, and REP Programming. 

4. Data Analysis - Partner with the Assessment Office to improve data analysis protocols during common planning time. 

5. Kid Talks - Meet as needed for Kid Talks to analyze data, discuss tiered support, and create individualized plans of support for students. 

6. SEL Lessons - Use data collected from the EES Student Survey and student interests twice a week. 

7. Student Groups - Facilitate gender-based and interest-based student small groups using EES survey data.

1. iReady Data: Fall 2024 to Spring 2025 - Increase in the percentage of students achieving either typical or stretch growth on iReady from August to January.

2. Milestones - Increase in the percentage of students achieving proficient or distinguished on Milestones (6th MA, LA; 7th MA, LA; 8th SS, LA). 

3. Gwinnett Writes - Increase the average score on the Gwinnett Writes Assessment for 6th grade.

4. District Assessments - Maintain an average score on each District Assessment that is Top 4 of all GCPS middle schools.

We believe in implementing a comprehensive framework to fully operationalize a multi-tiered system of supports addressing academic and non-academic student needs to remove barriers to learning. 

1. Instructional Resources - Imagine Learning will be used during Connections for all Level 1 students. 

2. Targeted Interventions - During Jag Time 3x/week, level 1 students will receive 30 minutes of targeted interventions with an ESOL certified teacher. 

3. Instructional Strategies - MLL teachers will participate in professional learning focused on high impact instructional strategies for ML learners during Digital Learning Days. 

4. Reteaching and Retesting - Reteaching will occur after every unit assessment with opportunities for retesting with modifications. 

1. EL Progress Towards Language Proficiency Index - Increase from 59.5 to 61.7 for the Continuous Improvement Benchmark on the Weighted School Assessment. 

2. Milestones - Decrease "Beginning" percentages on the Milestones for ML learners. 

3. Milestones - Increase "Proficient and Distinguished" percentages on the Milestones for ML learners. 

4. ACCESS Testing - Increase the number of students exiting the EL program by 100%. Our baseline is 6 students. 

We believe equity is a fundamental principle in education that ensures all students have access to resources and opportunities needed to succeed.

1. Accelerated Programs & Gifted Education - We will partner with the office to implement effective strategies and promote equity and inclusivity in gifted education with the creation of portfolios. 

2. Multilingual Learner Program - We will partner with the office to support staff to provide academic support and instructional strategies to help multilingual learners excel academically and linguistically. 

3. Counseling Department - will partner with the International Newcomer Center to host parent informational events to provide additional support and to support a sense of belonging within our community and provide targeted intervention to our students showing minimal progress to increase academic achievement and social and emotional well-being.

4. Discipline Data - will be reviewed weekly to determine PBIS and SEL lessons to share research-based teacher strategies and to teach students how to model our 3 Rs (Respectful, Responsible, and Reflective). 

1. Discipline Disproportionality

• • Number of all student groups that are overrepresented in ISS/OSS based on the Discipline Disproportionality Index. 

    • Baseline (White - 0.6, Asian - 0.4, Multiracial - 1.3, Black - 1.9, Hispanic - 0.9)

    • Target - Black and Multiracial students < 1

2. Gifted & Talented Representation - Decrease the ratio of Black & Hispanic gifted students to be "on level" with White and Asian students. "On level" means within 10%.
