achievement and closing learning gaps
What is the purpose?
To provide time in the instructional day for all East
Middle School staff to:
 Work in their content area with students to raise
achievement and close gaps on the school wide reading
and math goals.
 Differentiate instruction based on student
performance and need. Not a one size fits all model.
What are the goals?
 Improve to grade level proficiency on targeted school
wide reading and math goals among at-risk, level I and
II students.
 Improve to high performing (90% mastery or above) on
targeted school wide reading and math goals among
Level III and IV students.
How will students be grouped?
Corrective Reading—for students reading below a 4th
grade level. Taught by EC teachers and ESL teacher.
2. Core Intervention/Enrichment—for students scoring
below grade level in reading and/or math. Taught by
Core teachers
 Reading focus—MWF
 Math focus—TTH
3. Enhancement/Performance/Competition—for
students scoring at or above grade level in reading
and math. Taught by Wheel teachers.
