Gwinnett County School District logo




Accountability and flexibility are hallmarks of Gwinnett County Public Schools' success. Key to that success is ensuring that each school community understands the progress being made by its schools, as well as what plans will drive improvement. Each school creates a collaborative Local School Plan for Improvement (LSPI) to increase student achievement results, with targeted goals based on the four strategic priorities within the district’s Blueprint for the Future: Empathy, Equity, Effectiveness, and Excellence. All schools across the district will focus on goals 2A- Multi-tiered Systems of Support and 2B- Opportunity and Access. Additionally, schools are required to select one goal from each of the other strategic priorities. LSPI goals are dynamic, like our schools, and are updated to reflect changes that occur in schools. Multiple data points are used to determine areas needing improvement and to identify specific, measurable, annual objectives. Schools then determine how to use research-based strategies to achieve these goals, using flexibility as needed. The LSPI development process involves teachers, parents, students, and community members, so the entire school community has the opportunity to be involved in conversations about school improvement.

Growth Factors (Baseline & Targets)
Equity 2.A - Multi-tiered System of Supports

A multi-tiered system of support (MTSS) is a proactive and preventative framework that allows us to integrate data and instruction to maximize student achievement and support students’ social, emotional, and behavior needs from a strengths-based perspective. 

 

  1. Analyze data from the universal screener to identify academic and non-academic strengths.
  2. Provide responsive high-quality instructional strategies and interventions to each and every student.
  3. Leverage district assessment data, through data talks and data dive protocols, to gauge progress of our goal to reduce beginning percentages across students groups.
  4. Provide interventions at increasing levels of intensity based on student need. Extend and accelerate for students who demonstrate early mastery.
  5. Utilize the MTSS AIR Rubric to monitor interventions and move student progress forward in an atmosphere of continuous quality improvement. 
  6. Use structures and processes (PBIS, Morning Meetings, SEL Lessons, Counseling Groups, Clubs) that promote relationships schoolwide.
  7. Implement a school-wide PBIS system to reward individual students who display behaviors that meet expectations and provide respectful redirections and consequences to positively impact student's behavioral choices. 
  8. Meet twice weekly for formalized CLT meetings to support effective Tier 1 instruction. 
  9. Utilize intervention block to ensure additional opportunities for small group, targeted instruction which supports the effective implementation of the MTSS process and/or provide additional interventions and supports to students.

  2. Administer iReady, a universal screener to each and every student three times per year.
  3. Analyze data from the universal screener to identify academic and non-academic strengths of each and every student who may demonstrate characteristics of the gifted and talented.
  4. Increase the number of underrepresented students in the Gifted and Accelerated Programs.
  5. Provide and engage Kindergarten through fifth grade students in rigorous STEM Problem and Project Based learning opportunities through STEM special.
  6. Provide a high-quality Computer Science Special course for students in Kindergarten through fifth grade with a computer science, coding, and robotics focus.
  7. Continue to provide students with a variety of enrichment activities through clubs, such as Harry Potter Club, Gardening Club, Running Club, Fitness Club, Chess Club, Coding Club, Robotics Club, Good News Club, Drama Club, Reader’s Rally, Dance Club and a variety of Music Clubs.
