3. College and Career Readiness Goals

The primary goals of the College and Career Readiness plan are to: 1. Increase staff and student usage of the CIS program; 2. Increase the number of student who meet the college and career readiness

standards/expectations; 3. Provide students with an opportunity to visit a college campus.

Using existing professional staff (i.e., teachers, counselors, administrators, etc.), the schools will implement a series of activities designed to encourage students to explore new career and educational opportunities. Counselors will specifically identify at-risk students who may not have other support. Increase use of CIS Teachers and students will be trained to use the CIS system more effectively to develop career and college plans. Specific activities will be identified that students will be guided to complete in CIS in grades 7-12. Additional CIS modules will be purchased that will include interest inventories, skill assessments, and college entrance exam preparation. School counselors will provide staff-specific training for their respective teachers on the relevant activities for the grade levels in the school during the district-wide inservice on January 16, 2017. Teachers who meet specific implementation requirements will have the opportunity to earn a stipend for using CIS in their classrooms. Transportation to colleges High school students in grades 10-12 who complete specific assignments and/or modules in CIS during their classes will qualify to travel with their class to visit regional college campuses. 10th graders will visit BYU-Idaho in Rexburg, 11th graders will travel to EITC and University Place in Idaho Falls, and 12th graders will visit Idaho State University in Pocatello. Parent Involvement All secondary schools will hold back-to-school nights for parents and students. The high school counselors will schedule parent meetings to discuss college and career plans. They will also hold financial aid trainings for parents and students. College and Career Days Each high school will organize a college fair and/or career day for high school students. Test Preparation Students in 8th grade will be given the opportunity to take a grade-appropriate assessment (i.e., PSAT 8/9) designed to help the students prepare for the SAT and/or ACT.

Program Summary (2016-2017)

The Literacy Intervention Program Plan from 2016-2017 provided useful information to

guide the 2017-2018 school year plan. Successful parts of the program included:

● Teachers started using Mileposts as the IMS system district-wide ● All day, every day Kindergarten started at the largest elementary school ● Extended day reading program had evidence of student growth ● EL student data drove the decision to pursue the EL grant from the state

The learning opportunities included:

● The district Literacy Plan did not include administrative follow-up ● Individual schools did not follow a standard protocol making results inconsistent ● Data was not used to inform instructional decisions ● The ineffectiveness of the plan established the need for a district wide process

for data informed decision making ● More Literacy Professional Development training is warranted

Program Summary (2017-2018) – REQUIRED

The goal of the district’s Literacy Intervention Plan for 2017-2018 is to start identifying

at-risk students in order to provide individualized interventions as early as possible. To

accomplish this goal, the instruction and processes will be streamlined to improve

teacher understanding and implementation. The district’s new ELA core curriculum,

Houghton Mifflin Harcourt (HMHCO) Journeys, includes tiered interventions. This

program will be used for all students district-wide. Istation, which will be used for

interventions, diagnostic assessments, and progress monitoring, is also new this year.

Both of these are research-based curriculums that include phonemic awareness,

decoding, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension instruction. Istation and Journey’s

diagnostic assessments will be used to pinpoint individual student skill strengths and

weaknesses. Additional information may be obtained through the use of CORE

(Consortium On Reading Excellence in Education) assessments.

All interventions will be delivered based upon a tiered system of support to ensure

individualized student success. Interventions will be different for Kindergarten students

and grades 1st-3rd.

Kindergarten:

● An additional teacher will be hired for the largest school ● Students will attend all day, every day at this school ● The school’s five Kindergarten teachers, two of which are EL trained, will develop

a Co-Teaching model to ensure early interventions are provided for English Language learners to meet their individual needs

● Diagnostic assessments will be administered to student needing additional support so instruction can be targeted

● Summer school will be offered if needed

1st-3rd grades:

● Additional literacy skills instruction will come from a 40-hour extended day program

● Diagnostic assessments will be administered to students needing additional support so instruction can be targeted

● Summer school will be offered if needed

District Intervention Protocol:

1. IRI, Istation, and Journeys Benchmark testing will be given to all students. This data,

along with other historical data which might include WIDA scores, will be placed into

our IMS (Mileposts).

2. The student data will be reviewed by the classroom teachers during, but not limited

to, PLC and/or preparation time.

3. Individualized student literacy plans will be created on the diagnostic testing results.

The plans will be based on a Multi-tiered System of Support for struggling students in

Tiers 2 and 3 and for students needing enrichment opportunities. Supports will be:

● Tier 2 and 3- In addition to classroom intervention, students will be provided with a 40 hour extended day literacy program. Summer School will be offered as needed. Istation and Journeys interventions, along with individualized strategies which may include small group instruction, will be used during this time.

● Enrichment opportunities will be provided in the classroom based on individual needs.

Reviewed: September 18, 2017 Approved by Board of Trustees: September 21, 2017

4. Progress monitoring will take place monthly for Tier 2 and Enrichment students and

bi-monthly for Tier 3 students. Adjustments in student interventions will be

administered based on PLC and/or individual teacher recommendations.

Monitoring of Student Progress:

Individual student progress will be tracked using progress monitoring data derived from

information in Mileposts and Istation. Monitoring will be documented in Mileposts and in

PLC notes. This documentation will need to be provided to administration by the 10th of

each month to ensure success of the students. Monitoring information will be shared

with parents on a monthly basis as well.

Comprehensive Literacy Plan Alignment - REQUIRED (see Instructions)

Comprehensive Literacy Plan Alignment

The following excerpts from the district’s Comprehensive Literacy Plan are in alignment

with the Idaho Comprehensive Literacy Plan.

● The IRI assessment will be administered to all K-3 students and will be used for Benchmarking purposes.

● Parents will be informed in writing, within 30 instructional days of the IRI assessment, if their student scored in the Basic (2) or Below Basic (1) categories. They will also receive a copy of their child’s Individualized Reading Intervention Plan.

● All students receiving a Basic or Below Basic score on the IRI assessment will receive diagnostic testing so individualized plans can be created.

● Intervention instruction will be focused on improvement of specific student skill deficits.

● Bi-monthly or monthly monitoring of student data housed in Mileposts will be required.

● Focused instruction will be given based on the five essential reading components: phonemic awareness, decoding, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension.

● District Teacher Support Specialists and building administrators will be available to assist teachers in understanding and implementing the literacy plan.

● 2017-2018 Professional Development will center on K-3 student literacy improvement.

Parent Involvement - REQUIRED

Within 30 instructional days of the IRI testing results being presented to the district’s

elementary schools, written notice will be provided to all parents of students scoring in

the basic (2) or below basic (1) on the assessment, and whose scores have been

validated with multiple measures.

Initial notification will include:

● A statement indicating the deficiency in reading and a plan for improvement ● A description of current services being provided to the student ● A description of supplemental instructional services and supports available to

the student

Parents will be given the opportunity to approve the Individualized Reading Plan

designed to meet their child’s specific needs and make any changes.

Monthly progress reports and access to Istation will be provided to the parent(s) so

they stay informed of the student’s progress.

Summary of 2016-2017 School Year College and Career Advising and Mentoring Efforts:

School counselors purchased additional modules in CIS to help students more deeply explore their personal interests, dependable strengths, career opportunities, and college options. They conducted trainings for their respective staffs at South Fremont and North Fremont High Schools during the district-wide inservice on January 16, 2017. Teachers were encouraged to identify at least one activity or module in CIS that could be used in their classrooms and could be included in each individual student’s CIS portfolio. The counselors provided ongoing trainings and support for teachers as they experimented with the new modules. The counselor at South Fremont Junior High purchased access to CIS Junior and developed a three-year plan to introduce students to their individual strengths (grade 6), career aspirations (grade 7), and college/training planning (grade 8). At South Fremont Junior High, 104 out of 109 8th grade students took the PSAT 8/9 assessment. The administration and counselors spent two days (during Advisory) to teach students to read the score reports and interpret the results. Overall, 60% of the students met the benchmark on the English Language Arts test, and 25% met the benchmark in Mathematics compared to 50% and 35% scored at the national level on the tests respectively. in May, all 7th grade students traveled to Brigham Young University-Idaho to visit the planetarium and the botanical gardens. The 8th grade traveled to Idaho State University for a campus tour that included the history museum. Earlier in the year (October), the 8th grade traveled to Idaho Falls to the Museum of Idaho and EITC for a campus tour. North Fremont High School hosted a parent financial aid night during which the counselor and other staff were available to help students and parents complete the FAFSA form online. They later held a scholarship night in which representatives from various higher education institutions as well as local scholarship representatives taught students and parents about opportunities for financial aid. Both North Fremont and South Fremont participate in the College Application Week during the first week in November. Students were taught the process of applying for colleges, and nearly every student applied to at least one institution. College and Career Advising Model used by the LEA (if using research based model not identified in Section 33-1212A, Idaho Code, site research used):

Description of Model The primary goals of the College and Career Readiness plan are to:

1. Increase staff and student usage of the CIS program; 2. Increase the number of student who meet the college and career readiness

standards/expectations; 3. Provide students with an opportunity to visit a college campus.

Using existing professional staff (i.e., teachers, counselors, administrators, etc.), the schools will implement a series of activities designed to encourage students to explore new career and educational opportunities. Counselors will specifically identify at-risk students who may not have other support and provide individual college and career counseling based on the individual student needs and interests. A part-time (10 hours per week) paraprofessional will be hired to help coordinate college and career activities with the counselors and administration of all secondary schools in the district. Description of college and career advising and or mentoring plan, break out plan by grade level (if variable by grade):

Increase use of CIS Teachers and students will be trained to use the CIS system more effectively to develop career and college plans. Specific activities will be identified that students will be guided to complete in CIS in grades 6-12. Additional CIS modules will be purchased that will include interest inventories, skill assessments, and college entrance exam preparation. Students at the junior high level (grades 6-8) will create portfolios in CIS Junior, while high school students (grades 9-12) will create and maintain portfolios in CIS documenting their four year plans, college and career interests, research, standardized test preparation, etc.. School counselors will provide staff-specific training for their respective teachers on the relevant activities for the grade levels in the school during. The counselors will provide technical support for teachers who are learning to implement CIS as part of their regular curriculum. Teachers who meet specific implementation requirements will have the opportunity to earn a stipend for using CIS in their classrooms.
