Measurable Outcomes:

• By June 2024, the percentage of all Kindergarten students demonstrating within-year growth in reading as measured by the PALS assessment will increase by at least 5 percentage points.
• By June 2024, the percentage of all students in grades 1-6 demonstrating within-year growth in reading as measured by the iReady assessment will increase by at least 5 percentage points..

Strategy 1:  

• Increase intentional use of scaffolds, supports and extensions in whole group settings (word recognition, language comprehension and writing.)

Strategy 4: 

• Learning Readiness: Consistently provide instructional and social-emotional supports and scaffolds necessary to access learning at high levels.

Measurable Outcome:

• By June 2024, 71% of students will earn a passing score on the Science SOL test prior to retakes as measured by either the current year pass rate (23-24) or the three-year cumulative rate (21-22, 22-23, 23-24), whichever is higher.

Strategy 1:  

• Increase opportunities to apply and demonstrate understanding of vocabulary through evidence-based arguments and reasoning.

Strategy 2:

Strategy 3: 

• Increase frequency of student learning experiences that are inquiry-based and hands-on.

Strategy 4:  

• Increase student access to high quality science instruction through sufficient time on the master schedule and use of up-to-date FCPS curriculum.
