School Improvement Plan
Goal 1
Increase Reading Achievement: By 2011, 92% of Fox Chase students in fifth grade will meet or exceed state standards, as measured by the ISAT tests. This goal is based upon growth within the cohort of students that were third graders in spring, 2009.
Goal 2
Increase Writing Achievement: By 2011, 85% of Fox Chase students in fifth grade will meet or exceed state standards, as measured by the 2009 ISAT Test. This goal is based upon growth within the cohort of students that were third graders in spring, 2009.
Goal 3
Continue implementation of Professional Learning Communities: After intervention groups are identified, using a variety of assessment devices, research-based interventions will be provided, either by teachers or by teaching assistants, with regularity and intensity. Grade level teams will meet quarterly to evaluate the effectiveness of these interventions for individual students, using progress-monitoring devices, and adjustments will be made in a timely manner.
