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

Osborne Middle School recognizes that not all students learn in the same way or simultaneously. With this in mind, we will implement a comprehensive framework to fully operationalize a multi-tiered support system to address academic and non-academic student needs and remove barriers to success.  

High-Quality Tier 1 Instruction

  1. We will continue establishing structures for enhancing student learning and school improvement through collaborative learning teams intentionally focusing on Tier 1 instruction. 
  2. Osborne Middle teachers will continue to implement the OMS Instructional Framework. Our framework supports the collaborative cycle of inquiry and continuous improvement cycle needed for collaborative learning teams (CLTs) to achieve desired student gains.
  3. Administrators will review failure reports with grade-level content teams every nine weeks to identify students who need additional support.
  4. All Math and Language Arts teachers will implement iReady Math “My Path” and Reading instruction during Hawk Time for remediation and enrichment.
  5. The Schoolwide Hawk Time Plan rollout will include structures for Tier 1 and Tier 1+ remediation for identified students in Math and Language Arts and structures for enrichment opportunities for identified students.

MTSS Tier 2 and Tier 3 Supports 

  1. The OMS MTSS Team will meet monthly to review data of grade-level team-identified students with academic and nonacademic concerns. The grade-level counselor will be the liaison during weekly team meetings to provide teams with Tier 2 and Tier 3 next steps, interventions, and strategies, which will be available on our school-wide MTSS Shared Drive.
  2. Tier 2 identified students will be supported through Hawk Time with trained teachers using iReady Reading and Math. Classworks will be used for progress monitoring, which will be shared with the MTSS Team monthly to determine the next steps for intervention. 
  3. Tier 3 students will be supported through a Reading or Math Intervention class during Connections daily. Classworks will be used for progress monitoring, which will be shared with the MTSS Team monthly to determine the next steps for intervention.

Equity 2.B - Opportunity and Access

Osborne Middle School will provide students with access to high-quality, rigorous coursework that includes activities designed to enrich the learning opportunities for each child while expanding student opportunities to engage in other non-academic enrichment activities.

  1. We will offer structured professional learning opportunities and peer observations to ensure high-quality Tier 1 instruction for all students, including targeted small groups, grade-level curriculum, ongoing formative assessments, and progress monitoring.
  2. We will implement a Reteaching and Reassessment process to ensure progress mastery of the AKS. 
  3. We will review academic data along with the universal screeners to identify additional students for gifted services.
