RTI workshop and future implications at Waimea High....

Our school just sent a team to a four-day training on how to implement a school wide system of academic and behavioral interventions as part of our continuous school improvement process.   We took a close look at the four types of school data – demographic, perception, achievement, and programs/process – and began planning ways we will support students who need extra help with reading, math, and writing, beginning with effective instruction and behavioral supports in each class.  We are looking closely at each student’s test scores, from their HSA in middle school to their current STAR reading and math scores.  Those data points, along with grades, attendance, and teacher recommendations will determine which students will be placed in secondary support classes like a Reading/Writing or Math Workshop class next year so we can help bring up skill levels.  Parents of students whose schedules need to be changed will be advised before school releases for summer.  In the interim, please encourage your student to take all tests seriously, especially STAR and Achieve, as we will use the information from those assessments to select students for support classes.

Have a great week everyone!
