How will you measure growth? Growth Factors (Baseline & Targets)
Equity 2.A - Multi-tiered System of Supports
Mountain Park ES will meet the academic needs of our students through a multi-tiered system of supports (GaMTSS) that remove barriers to success.
High-quality Tier I instruction for all students that includes targeted small groups, grade-level curriculum, ongoing formative assessments, and progress monitoring.
Increase opportunities for small group, targeted instruction which supports the effective implementation of the GaMTSS process and/or provide additional interventions and supports to students.
Students will have reassessment opportunities that are consistent among each grade level.
GaMTSS data is reviewed monthly to make informed decisions based on student needs.
Extended Learning Time supports students with identified programs that target individual student needs in the area of Language Arts.
Implement language and literacy goal setting for identified multilingual students who have not shown growth on their composite ACCESS scores from 2024 to 2025.
