Whiteriver Unified District

WE WILL BE UTILIZING DATA TO MAKE DECISIONS TO HELP ADDRESS STUDENT NEEDS. WE HAVE WORKED THIS YEAR ON IDENTIFYING ESSENTIAL STANDARDS FOR INSTRUCTION IN BOTH ELA AND MATH BASED ON THE BLUEPRINTS AND RECOGNIZING SKILLS THAT ALL STUDENTS MUST MASTER. THESE WILL BE THE FOCUS OF THE INTERVENTIONS. WE WILL USE PRE AND POST DATA FOR SUMMER PROGRAMMING. WE WILL BE UTILIZING OUR BENCHMARKS DURING THE YEAR TO EVALUATE OUR PROGRAMS AND MAKE SURE THEY ARE ADDRESSING OUR NEEDS.
AS FAR AS THE DEMOGRAPHIC AREAS, THE SCHOOL DISTRICT IS PREDOMINANTLY NATIVE AMERICANS AND ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED. BOTH OF THESE ARE IDENTIFIED SUBGROUPS FOR OUR DISTRICT SO INTERVENTIONS WE DO WILL ADDRESS THESE GROUPS. THE PLC PROCESS WE ARE UNDERGOING IN THE DISTRICT FOCUSES ON LOOKING AT ALL STUDENTS' DATA. STUDENTS IN EXCEPTIONAL STUDENT SERVICES ARE THE BUSINESS OF EVERYONE. WE WILL UTILIZE AND OFFER THESE INTERVENTIONS TO THEM AS WELL. WE HAVE BEGUN HAVING DATA MEETINGS WITH THE SPED AND GEN ED TEACHERS TO ADDRESS THE GAPS AND FOCUS ON GRADE LEVEL DATA AND GROWTH RATHER IN ADDITION TO IEP DATA. THE PLC TRAINING WE ARE PLANNING WILL INCREASE THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE TRAINED AND PREPARED TO TAKE PART IN THIS PROCESS. WE ARE ALSO UTILIZING THESE INTERVENTIONS WITH OUR EL STUDENTS TO MEET THEIR NEEDS. WE WILL ENSURE ALL STUDENTS ARE INVITED TO PARTICIPATE IN THESE INTERVENTIONS TO ADDRESS GROWTH FOR ALL.
