Staff will be building our reading intervention plan and data discussions to make decisions to best meet the needs of all students every day. Staff will also work together to implement the Response to Intervention (RTI) model, providing students with targeted, data-driven academic support. Teacher instructional strategies will continue to improve with a focus on increased student engagement and academic growth for all. Teachers will also continue working on math instructional strategies to build a strong understanding for all students.
