  17. Competitive & Comparative DataHandout

  18. Steps MPS Is Taking • Training all K-4 classroom teachers on Cognitive Guided Instruction (CGI) in math • Implementing “What I Need” (WIN) time for students in grades K-4 for interventions and enrichment • MS uses enrichment time to focus on interventions and enrichments • Ensuring that students are not being pulled from core classes for SPED and/or EL services • The HS has implemented a one-hour lunch which will allow for students who are struggling to receive 30 min. of academic intervention time

  19. Steps MPS Is Taking • The HS grades are monitored every 3 weeks –this helps to identify students who need additional support faster • The secondary level has implemented the Ramp Up to Readiness program which focuses on career and college readiness • K-12 continues to improve and use our RTI process of identifying and servicing struggling students • PLCs continue to focus on student achievement through common formative assessments and teachers sharing resources and ideas
