Vision & Mission
Our Vision
At Kellogg School, we are preparing all children to be
successful leaders and learners with a solid foundation
of skills and knowledge. We want to create an
equitable, inclusive, collaborative and safe learning
environment that is built on strong family and
community partnerships, where all children will
thrive. We believe that a diversified education is
critical in laying a solid foundation for international
mindedness and life-long learning.
Our Mission
All will develop skills needed to become
resourceful, productive learners through a
strong commitment and partnership
between schools and parents. Our students’
academic performance will be enhanced
through our rigorous instructional program
and educational opportunities, which will
result in increasing the number of students
meeting and exceeding Illinois Common
Core Standards.

Kellogg CIWP Goals
1. CCSS Literacy: Through the use of the Optimal Learning Model and following
their literacy block, teachers will increase rigorous English Language Arts
instruction following the Common Core State Standards.
2. CCSS Math: Differentiation of instruction and professional development to
increase mathematical rigor following the CCSS.
3. CCSS Science: Upon implementation of the New Generation Science Standards
(NGSS) continue to increase the use of inquiry modules for instruction at each grade
level.
4. CCSS IB: Increase staff and student knowledge and implementation of the IB
Programme Next Chapter in order to maintain approved status.
5. CCSS Arts: We will expand Arts instruction to all grade levels and build a strong
investment in the arts both during and after school.

Stride Academy
Alignment
● Stride uploads NWEA data to target curriculum based on students individual strengths and
weaknesses. It has an adaptive engine to increase / decrease difficulty based on student
progress.
Format
● Questions are formatted to appear as the questions would on the NWEA assessment as well
as the PARCC assessment.
Supportive
● Stride provides skill remediation and enrichment through skills practice questions,
instructional video lessons and printable, offline study guides.
Automated Reporting
● Teachers are automatically emailed student data results to allow for continuous
monitoring of student progress
New this year for Kellogg 6th, 7th and 8th grade students…
How Does it Work?
1. Teachers assign leveled lessons
2. Students read an informational
text and complete assessments
for comprehension
3. Students then go back and
highlight and annotate the text
they read
4. Students then make claims, build
arguments, collaborate, and
write responses
5. Students then receive feedback
from teachers and other students
Kellogg’s Powerful Practice for ELA
2014
ANNOTATION
Annotation is a tool to engage with text. It is a
strategy that is best used with challenging text
that may be difficult to read and understand.
Annotation is a strategy where student’s mark
on the actual text using a set of symbols.
We have developed a set of “Kellogg”
annotation symbols that we are beginning to
use on a school-wide basis.
Kellogg’s
Annotation
Symbols
This strategy to improve
critical reading skills looks
very different depending
upon the grade/age of the
student.
In the upper grades, we often use this in conjunction with
close reading. When a student reads text the first time,
they are reading to find out why.
Reading the same text again using the annotation tool
provides an opportunity to have the student identify text
examples which they do not know, or they made a
connection with, or have additional questions about, or
identify the main idea.
Each teacher at Kellogg School has a selected
two novels for each student to use for
annotation purposes during this school year.
Ask your child about how they are using this
powerful practice!
Common Core
Mathematics Standards
The Common Core concentrates on a clear set of
math skills and concepts. Students learn concepts in
a more organized way both during the school year
and across grades. The standards encourage
students to solve real-world problems.
Daily
Rigor
• The math teachers at Kellogg, from the
primary grades to the upper grades, plan
learning experiences to ensure each
student is being taught a rigorous
curriculum.
• Two of the most commonly utilized
mathematic activities that we will share
this evening are
• Math Talks
• MARS tasks
Math
Talks
• Math Talks are designed to be
completed as a 10-minute daily ritual
with the entire class. Their purpose is
developing conceptual understanding
of and efficiency with numbers,
operations, and mathematics, as well
as building positive habits of dialogue
and discourse in the classroom
community. Math Talks develop
flexibility and fluency with numbers
and promote multiple approaches to
solving problems.

Talk
Examples
•You are stuck in traffic and you only
travel 5 miles in 20 minutes. How many
miles can you travel in half an hour at
this rate?
•19 x 21 = ?
•Dominique bought an iPod for 40% off
the original price and paid $54. How
much money did she save?
•Which is larger? √ 70 or 9

MARS
Tasks
• Mathematics Assessment Resource Service
tasks are Common Core aligned performancebased assessments that make students’
knowledge and reasoning visible.
• They are intended to be used formatively and
play an integral role in uncovering student
misconceptions, as well as inform instruction.
These assessments are performance-based
and offer opportunities for teachers to assess
a deeper conceptual understanding of the
mathematics content being taught throughout
the school year.
MARS
Tasks
Examples
Janice is making necklaces with colored beads. She makes
them into square patterns like this:
Complete the table below.

• Explain how you figured out how many long beads are
needed to make 4 and 8 squares.
(continued)
• Explain how you figured out how many round beads are
needed to make 4 and 8 squares.
• Janice uses 37 long beads to make some squares.
• a. How many squares does she make? Show your work.
• b. How many round beads will she need to make these
squares?
• Write a rule or an algebraic formula for finding the total
number of round and long beads, B, Janice needs to make n
squares.
MARS
Task
Example
Kindergarten
Bracelets
Abby is making bracelets. She finished making 3
bracelets. She needs to make 8 bracelets to give
one to each friend.
TASK A
• How many more bracelets does Abby need to
make?
____ bracelets
• Show how you solved this problem. Use
pictures, numbers, and words.
KITCHEN TILES
MARS
Task
Example
Austin’s mom is getting a new kitchen. The
worker is making the counter with square tiles.
The worker has just started working.
Grade 3
TASK A
How many tiles will it take in all to make this
counter? EXPLAIN how you figured it out.
TASK B
MARS
Task
Example
Grade 3
If the worker decides to make another counter
that is 5 tiles wide and 6 tiles long how many tiles
will they need to make that counter?
• Draw a picture of this counter showing all the
tiles.
• Write a number sentence to show how many
tiles are in the new counter.
• EXPLAIN how you figured it out.
What is the common trend?
• Across all grade levels the shift toward mastery
of the common core standards requires
students to demonstrate their mathematical
thinking by not only showing their work; but
having the ability to communicate in writing
what they did to solve and why.
International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme
Kellogg School has been an authorized IB Middle Years Programme school
since 2002. Since that time the program has evolved and changed. The IB
MYP has just finished an extensive review of all the components and
implementation of all the new requirements began September 1, 2014 for all
schools.
Key Considerations:
• All teachers are required to be trained under the new requirements. Five
teachers have already been trained, five more are registered for Fall/Winter
training and the remaining teachers will be trained by the end of 2015.
• Promoting the use of the IB Learner Profile traits school-wide.
• Morning announcements share ideas of ways students can develop and expand
these traits of good citizens.
• Preparing for the October 2015 evaluation visit to maintain authorized
status.

transition to the programme in the 6th grade.
PBIS
Positive Behavioral Intervention and Supports (PBIS) is a systemic approach to
proactive, school-wide behavior. PBIS applies evidence-based programs, practices and
strategies for all students to increase academic performance, improve safety,
decrease problem behavior, and establish a positive school culture.
