Tanque Verde Unified District

Set Aside-TVUSD utilizes the evidence based practice of Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) to ensure we address the needs of all learners. In this process teachers meet at least weekly to plan which includes the following: Instruction will be determined by focus on essential standards, followed by formative assessment. Teachers will analyze formative assessment data to determine learning gaps, need for support, and opportunities for enrichment. The following cycle (PLC cycle) will be utilized in an ongoing manner throughout the year to target instruction for students based on grade level content as well as learning gaps that may have occurred as a result of the pandemic. The district is implementing SchoolCity which is a tool for administering formative assessments as well as district benchmarks. PLC teams will use this tool to analyze data and plan instruction. In addition, the campuses have built in intervention and enrichment times in the school day. Finally, we utilize the evidence-based, Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) as a means to support students' needs. Flex Teachers and the PLC process as well as the MTSS process will target at risk subgroups including low income students, English learners, racial and ethnic minorities, students experiencing homelessness, and foster care youth.
