2 - Describe the multiple educationally related selection criteria by core content area served with
the weighting that will be applied to the criteria per school to determine the rank order list of
eligible students by greatest academic need.
Multiple Educationally Related Selection Criteria
All students (except GAA students) in grades 3-5 were ranked using the following criteria:
Spring 2016 Georgia Milestones Lexile levels, EIP Qualification, RTI data, and retention status.
GAA rankings listed below replaced the Lexile rankings for those students. After academic
ranking was applied to all students, the Federal Rank Order process was applied to identify and
prioritize academically at-risk students to be served by the program.
Washington Park Elementary used the following multiple, educationally related selection criteria
for the first step in selecting students for FLP services in reading.
First Element: ACADEMIC RANKING CRITERIA

******************************************************************************
FEDERAL RANK ORDER I - Student w/ Disabilities, English language learners and
Free/Reduced lunches = 3points
2. Continued: Describe the multiple educationally related selection criteria by core
content area served with the weighting that will be applied to the criteria per school to
determine the rank order list of eligible students by greatest academic need.
Second Element: FEDERAL RANK ORDER
Federal Rank Order I: Students in the following subgroups who are not meeting standards as
identified by analysis of reading data: Students with disabilities, English language learners and
free/reduced price lunch subgroups as funding allows.
Federal Rank Order II: All other students who are not meeting standards, as identified by
analysis of reading data; and if funding levels allow,
Federal Rank Order III: Students who are meeting standards as identified by analysis of reading
data.
Third Element: Documentation
All appropriate documentation for rank order and students served will are maintained and
available for review. The instructional coach will maintain the documentation and data for the
FLP program.
Additionally, any students who are skipped for service whether services are refused or a student
withdraws will be adequately documented. Further, documentation for students who would be
inappropriately served (GAA students) will be adequately maintained.
3 - Describe the scientifically research based strategies that the LEA will implement to ensure
that supplemental academic intervention time is designed to support students meeting academic
performance goals.
![Page 6: 2016-2017 FLP Components 679 District Name: …...Through the analysis of this data, as well as the 2016 Flexible Learning Program data it was determined that WPES will continue to](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022050611/5fb2c3c9451a49667d6cf94e/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Washington Park Elementary will continue to employ the Data Teams process in order to
identify deficits in student understanding prior to and after each unit of instruction. This process
will enable the interventionists to craft specific student learning plans based on individual
student needs (Ainsworth, 2010). Specific learning deficits will be addressed using instructional
strategies which are supported by scientifically-based research. Reading interventionists will be
provided with professional learning for Data Teams, and vocabulary instruction.
3. Research Based Strategy 1: Data Team Process: Start to Finish
1. Examine expectations. Begin with a small time element: a month, unit, chapter, or quarter.
a. Examine the specific expectations for that specific time period (unit, quarter, month,
etc.) by referring to curriculum guide, state framework, and standards documents.
b. Formulate questions.
i. What concepts and skills must students master as a result of your teaching
during this time period (quarter, month, chapter, etc.)?
2. Develop curriculum map.
a. What does your year-long map look like?
b. How will you strategically place/schedule content and concepts during the year so that
students will have optimal time to understand concepts and apply skills?
3. Create a common post-assessment. This will be administered at the conclusion of the teaching
time (unit, quarter, month) based on what students must master (Priority Standards).
4. Administer the common post-assessment BEFORE teaching. At this time it acts as a pre-
assessment.
a. What foundation do students already have?
b. What knowledge, understanding, and skills do students already have about the topic that
they are about to study?
c. Which students are starting absolutely at square one in terms of understanding the concepts
and/or applying the skills?
d. Send pre-assessment data to Data Team leader
5. Go through the five formal and definitive steps of the Data Team process:
a. Step 1 - Collect and chart data.
b. These data are generated from the pre-assessment. The Data Team leader prepares a
simple graph with pre-assessment data, including total number of students, students who are
proficient or higher, students who are not proficient, and percentage of students who are
proficient or higher.
![Page 7: 2016-2017 FLP Components 679 District Name: …...Through the analysis of this data, as well as the 2016 Flexible Learning Program data it was determined that WPES will continue to](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022050611/5fb2c3c9451a49667d6cf94e/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Research Based Strategy 2: Vocabulary Instruction
Research indicates that student achievement will increase by 12 percentile points when students
are taught 10-12 words a week; 33 percentile points when vocabulary is focused on specific
words important to what students are learning. (Requires specific approaches- Effect size = 0.95
or 32 percentile points)
Research Based Strategy 3: Small Group Instruction
Small-group instruction offers an environment for teachers to provide students extensive
opportunities to express what they know and receive feedback from other students and the
teacher. Instructional conversations are easier to conduct and support with a small group of
students (Goldenberg, 1993).
In a recent meta-analysis of the extent to which variation in effect sizes for reading outcomes for
students with disabilities was associated with grouping format for reading instruction, small
groups were found to yield the highest effect sizes (Elbaum, Vaughn, Hughes, Moody, &
Schumm, 2000). It is important to add that the overall number of small-group studies available in
the sample was two.
4. DESCRIPTION OF THE DELIVERY MODEL
The FLP action plan was collaboratively developed by Washington Park Elementary School’s
stakeholders. In addition to 2016 Georgia Milestones Assessment data, STAR Reading data,
Retention data, EIP data, and RTI data will be triangulated to address students’ academic
deficiencies in reading. During collaborative planning time, teachers will use the Data Teams
process to analyze pre/post test data to design and refine instructional materials and practices for
FLP students. Due to the inconsistencies in attendance during prior after school program models,
the intervention services for the FLP will be provided during the school’s activity period to
maximize enrollment and attendance.
The LEA will ensure that the Washington Park Elementary School FLP plan is implemented
with fidelity by monitoring the program through regularly scheduled meetings, walk-throughs,
monthly progress and attendance reports, and the Data Teams process. The FLP program will
provide specific, targeted instruction to address deficiencies as identified through Measures of
Academic Progress (MAP). Targeted instruction will be provided every eight days during the
activity rotation for a total of 45 minutes for all students with instruction based on FLP ranking.
Third grade students are scheduled for activity from 8:40-9:30, fourth grade activity is scheduled
for 9:35-10:25, and fifth grade activity is scheduled for 10:30-11:20. Remediation will be
supplemental to the students’ regular GSE instruction. Every effort will be made to maintain a
ratio of no more than 15:1 per classroom. FLP services will begin August 5, 2016 and end on
May 5, 2017.
FLP instruction is supplemental to the required content area classes, Title I services, remedial
services, and special education services. Students will be provided instruction as part of the
![Page 8: 2016-2017 FLP Components 679 District Name: …...Through the analysis of this data, as well as the 2016 Flexible Learning Program data it was determined that WPES will continue to](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022050611/5fb2c3c9451a49667d6cf94e/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
activity rotation. All students will receive art, music, PE, computer lab, Think Tank,
Counseling/Media, Brain Builders (Vocabulary instruction- FLP). FLP students will receive
services every eight days (eight day rotation for activities). During the instructional block,
teachers highly qualified in Early Childhood Education will systematically deliver data-driven
interventions that address student deficiencies. The WPES Instructional Coach, RESA assigned
School Improvement Specialists and administration will work collaboratively with the FLP
Interventionists to ensure that research based instructional strategies are being implemented
consistently and pervasively on the targeted skills. Student progress will be monitored using
formative assessments, a pre/posttest, and the Data Team Process.
FLP Interventionists will progress monitor using the Vocabulary Recognition Task (VRT) in
order to systematically and purposefully plan for instruction that is tailored to students’ readiness
levels and to ensure that students master the targeted standards in a variety of ways. The VRT is
a yes-no task used to estimate vocabulary recognition in a content area (Stahl, 2008) and will be
utilized as a unit pre-test. As a posttest, students will complete the VRT concept map
demonstrating both recognition of the vocabulary word, application of meaning, and lexical
organization. In addition to small group targeted instruction, students will conference with the
interventionist weekly to discuss progress towards the established goals.
Identified FLP students will be in smaller groups with a lower student/teacher ratio. No more
than 15 students will be served in a group.
The Jasper County Title I coordinator participated as a member of the planning team to ensure
that the FLP was in compliance with Title I regulations. The school will work closely with the
district’s Title I director to ensure that all expenditures and activities associated with the FLP
Program are reasonable, necessary, allocable, and allowable under the program requirements.
The school will develop procedures for maintaining all required documentation, for ensuring that
there are controls to prevent fraud, waste and abuse, and that the intent and goals of the FLP are
achieved.
5 - Describe the professional development (PD) that the LEA will provide for the FLP
instructional staff/contractor to ensure that:
Instruction is tailored to the needs of participating students
Instructional strategies are effective in helping at-risk students achieve success
After the analysis of our 2016 Georgia Milestones Assessment (GMA) data, school level
benchmark data, and 2016 Flexible Learning Plan data it was determined that the students
participating in the FLP would benefit from the continuation of targeted vocabulary instruction
that would support students in the acquisition of vocabulary, with a focus on science and social
studies terminology. Although the percent of students scoring at levels 3/4 on the math portion of
the GMA was lower than the percent of students scoring at levels 3/4 on the ELA portion of the
GMA, the team decided that other data (STAR Reading and Math, FLP data) demonstrated the
positive impact of the vocabulary instruction. In addition to the other academic vocabulary
![Page 9: 2016-2017 FLP Components 679 District Name: …...Through the analysis of this data, as well as the 2016 Flexible Learning Program data it was determined that WPES will continue to](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022050611/5fb2c3c9451a49667d6cf94e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
previously taught during the FLP Program, students will also receive support on math
terminology.
Students will receive instruction on targeted vocabulary words that are determined
collaboratively by the content area teachers. The WPES Instructional Coach will provide
ongoing support throughout the school year for the FLP Interventionists on research based
reading strategies that will allow instruction tailored to the identified needs of the participating
students. The School Improvement Specialist and RESA consultants will work collaboratively
with the FLP staff to disaggregate data from formative assessments to identify individual student
deficits and progress monitor students. Professional learning will be adjusted throughout the
program based on student data. All professional learning costs will be taken from Title I, Title
IIA, and State Professional Learning money. This professional development will undergird their
personal knowledge in reading, as well as provide specific instructional strategies for increasing
rigor in daily instruction. Sign-in sheets and agendas for professional learning will be utilized to
document participation of the FLP interventionists, FLP specific professional learning.
Flexible Learning Program (FLP) teachers will be required to receive professional learning on
instructional strategies for reading, formative assessments and progress monitoring. FLP teachers
will participate in professional learning for vocabulary instruction and the MAP program at
Washington Park Elementary School. The training will be provided by the instructional coach.
Continual support will also be provided throughout the 2016-17 FLP program for the FLP
interventionists. Support provided will include how to analyze student data to tailor instruction as
well as how to create reports on progress monitoring.
Training dates for interventionists to be conducted by the instructional coach in the Professional
Learning Room at WPES:
August 2, 2016 -11:30-3:30
September 2, 2016 -12:30-3:30
October 6, 2016- 12:30-3:30
January 3, 2016- 9:00-11:30
6 - Describe the procedures the LEA will implement to ensure that the instructional goals of the
FLP students are aligned with the GSE.
Utilization of the Data Teams Process will allow for the fluid identification of individual student
deficits in reading. FLP students’ learning targets will address students’ individual academic
needs and interventions that will be implemented to increase student achievement in the targeted
area of reading. Interventionists will instruct students based on their individual needs. Instruction
will be adjusted based on results from progress monitoring data collected through STAR and the
Data Team Process.
The district’s analysis of the Georgia Standards of Excellence (GSE) began during the 2011-12
school year with a focus on unwrapping GSE, designing instructional pacing calendars,
alignment of assessment, development of units and designing instruction with GSE. This year,
![Page 10: 2016-2017 FLP Components 679 District Name: …...Through the analysis of this data, as well as the 2016 Flexible Learning Program data it was determined that WPES will continue to](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022050611/5fb2c3c9451a49667d6cf94e/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Jasper County Schools will continue implementing GSE in Reading, ELA and Mathematics.
Washington Park will ensure that instructional goals of the FLP students are aligned with GSE
by collecting and reviewing all lesson plans and units utilized. The principal, assistant principal
and instructional coach will be responsible for the collection and review of lesson plans.
Additionally, school and district administrators will conduct targeted focus walks during
instruction for the FLP on an ongoing basis to ensure that the FLP intervention strategies are
implemented consistently, pervasively, and with fidelity. Lesson plans will document
implementation of research based instructional practices. Ongoing professional development will
be adjusted based on data results.
Attendance records for students will be maintained by the FLP interventionists. FLP students
will not receive a FLP attendance incentive. All students at WPES receive recognition and
incentives for attendance. Attendance incentives are provided through local funds raised by the
school. The school attendance clerk contacts the parents of all students who are absent from
school.
7 - Describe the procedures that the LEA will implement to maximize the enrollment and
attendance of the students with the greatest need for the FLP.
Using the 2016 Georgia Milestones Assessments reading and math data, in conjunction with
school level assessment data (EIP rubrics, STAR Reading, RTI data and retention data), all
students were placed in rank order using multiple criteria to identify the students with the most
critical academic needs. After implementing the academic multiple criteria ranking system, data
was sorted based on at-risk points. Next, the Federal Rank Orders were employed and students
were sorted in each Federal Rank Order and at-risk points were assigned. All students at WPES
will receive supplemental vocabulary instruction. How students are served is determined by their
individual at risk points and individual need.
Student attendance will be monitored through FLP attendance rolls taken by the interventionists.
To guarantee student success, a partnership among the school, parents, and our community is
vital. The FLP utilizes the following means to communicate interventions addressed in the FLP
and to garner enthusiasm and excitement about the interventions. All correspondence and
documents will be translated for English Language Learner families. An interpreter will be
available for all meetings and conferences.
FLP Parent informational letter will be sent home. The letter will describe the FLP and
program benefits, describe the eligibility requirements, and provide contact information
for the school FLP interventionists.
A stakeholder meeting will be held August 3 from 4-6 in the Washington Park Media
Center.
An informational meeting will be held in September to describe the program and answer
any questions concerning the FLP. FLP meetings will be advertised via the school phone
messenger system, listed in the school newsletter, and on the school website.
FLP interventionists will provide homeroom teachers with a progress report for FLP
students for parent/teacher conferences.
![Page 11: 2016-2017 FLP Components 679 District Name: …...Through the analysis of this data, as well as the 2016 Flexible Learning Program data it was determined that WPES will continue to](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022050611/5fb2c3c9451a49667d6cf94e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
8 - Describe the procedures the LEA/school will use to monitor the implementation of the
program and the tracking of all required data (assessment, program cost, etc.). The procedures
must include the person(s) responsible for monitoring the implementation of the FLP plan in the
LEA's schools.
Dr. Shawne Holder, the school’s principal, will serve as the FLP contact person for Washington
Park Elementary and along with the district, she will monitor the fidelity of implementation of
the interventions. The FLP will be monitored by school and district level walk-throughs,
observations and review of lesson plans. Students’ progress and attendance reports will be
maintained by the interventionists.
The district will initiate purchase orders based on program needs and feasibility. The Title I
director maintains all purchase orders and places the orders for needed items. Professional
learning agendas, and sign in sheets, and any other documentation for the FLP records are
maintained in the district office.
On a monthly basis, Dr. Holder and the Instructional Coach, Janne Childs, will analyze progress
monitoring data and facilitate data analysis and conversations with the grade level teams. Data
will be analyzed for effectiveness of the support being provided to the identified FLP students
and any necessary adjustments to the short term action plans (actions that must be accomplished
and barriers that must be removed in order to reach full implementation of the plan).
Guiding Questions for Meetings:
What are implementation strengths?
What actions were taken?
What is the impact on student learning?
What instructional changes need to be made after data analysis?
What is an implementation concern/issue?
Why is it an issue?
What are the barriers?
Dr. Holder will meet with the Better Seeking Team on a monthly basis to discuss the results and
next steps.
9 - Describe the internal controls that the LEA will implement to promote efficiency, assure the
fidelity of the implementation of the LEA's FLP program, and to safeguard assets and/or avoid
fraud, waste, and abuse.
In addition to the school-level monitoring described in Component 8, Mrs. Denise Burrell,
district level Title I coordinator, will monitor the implementation of the program at the district
level and will review all required data. Documentation for the FLP will be filed in the Federal
Programs office.
![Page 12: 2016-2017 FLP Components 679 District Name: …...Through the analysis of this data, as well as the 2016 Flexible Learning Program data it was determined that WPES will continue to](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022050611/5fb2c3c9451a49667d6cf94e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Internal controls to safeguard assets and/or avoid fraud, waste and abuse include an annual
review of the fraud policy (located on district’s eboard) by all staff members, and an inclusion of
all purchases made with federal funds to the school’s equipment inventory worksheet. Physical
equipment inventories are annually conducted by the school and district.
All expenditures purchased with federal funds must be approved by the district Title I director.
Once the school’s request has been vetted, a purchase order is generated by the Title I director,
and the order is placed by the Title I office. When the item is received, the school attains a
control sticker from the Federal Programs office, labels the item and places it on the school’s
inventory worksheet. At the end of each school year, a copy of the inventory worksheet is sent to
the district office.
10A - List and describe the effectiveness target(s) or overall quantifiable goal(s) of the program.
(What are the measureable outcomes that the intervention is designed to improve?)

10C - Include a plan/procedure(s) for administering assessment instruments and for collecting
and maintaining data.(A timeline for assessments must be provided. How will the LEA/school
maintain student assessment information to ensure confidentiality?)
Students will be assessed on Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) during the first three weeks
of school. Learning targets will be developed from the data. The data collected will help
determine a student’s growth over the duration of the program. Teachers will progress monitor
after every unit of study in order to systematically and purposefully plan for instruction that is
tailored to students’ readiness levels and to ensure that students master the targeted standards in a
variety of ways. Rank Order I students will conference with teachers quarterly to discuss
progress toward established goals. These files will be compiled and stored in a secure location.
Additionally, the Milestones assessment will be administered spring 2017. Data analysis will
occur immediately upon release of that data. The Jasper County School System utilizes the
SLDS (State Longitudinal Data System) to disaggregate data based on sub-population criteria.
Individual student data will be recorded on the progress reports, as well as in electronic
spreadsheets for aggregate data to be synthesized. To maximize confidentiality of student
assessment data, passwords are necessary to access student data files.
In addition, progress reports will be sent to parents and the district office after each unit of
study..
10D - Include the LEA's/school's data analysis plan. (How will the LEA/school determine
program effectiveness based on the program goals and measurement instruments listed above?)
Students will have individual targets set for the duration of the program based on their baseline
data from STAR Reading and formative assessments.
The district will determine the program's effectiveness based on: 1) feedback from stakeholders,
2) if Washington Park Elementary School decreases the performance gap on the FY 2017
CCRPI.
During the duration of the program, the principal and or district will monitor students' growth on
the monthly reports. If ineffective instructional strategies are utilized, immediate adjustments
will be made. In addition, students will participate in interviews during the program’s duration
and parents will be asked to complete a short survey about the program’s effectiveness.
Interventionists will progress monitor in order to systematically and purposefully plan for
instruction that is tailored to students’ readiness levels and to ensure that students master the
targeted standards in a variety of ways. Upon the conclusion of the school year, individual
student data will be recorded on progress reports as well as in an electronic spreadsheet for
aggregate data to be synthesized. Analysis will include determining if SMART goals for the
Flexible Learning Program were met.
10E - Include a description of the procedures that the LEA/school will implement to collect,
analyze, and report participant feedback.
![Page 14: 2016-2017 FLP Components 679 District Name: …...Through the analysis of this data, as well as the 2016 Flexible Learning Program data it was determined that WPES will continue to](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022050611/5fb2c3c9451a49667d6cf94e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
In order to collect, analyze, and report participant feedback, a survey will be conducted with
stakeholders (parents & teachers) to gather input on the design of the FLP plan, its
implementation, and results. The principal and the Better Seeking Team will aggregate the data
from the parent and teacher surveys and summarize it. Once the data is summarized, the team
will prepare it for dissemination to stakeholders.
The FLP interventionists and Grade Level Data Teams will monitor, gather and analyze their
students’ progress and look for trends throughout the FLP. In addition, the Better Seeking Team
and the district will receive copies of the analyzed date to determine if trends occur.
During the spring, a FLP revision/evaluation meeting will be scheduled to evaluate the FLP for
2016/17. Stakeholders will be invited and encouraged to participate in the school improvement
process. Results of the surveys and students’ progress will be shared with teachers during a
faculty meeting, and other stakeholders during the spring FLP’s evaluation/revision meeting, at
the Title I Annual Meeting in the fall and posted in the Parent Resource Room.
The district will provide guidance to the school to ensure multiple efforts are made to engage
parents in the feedback process (ie. Email, phone call, postal service).
10F - Describe the LEA's/school's plan for informing parents/guardians of participating student's
progress toward the student's academic goals.
Multiple methods of communication will be utilized to inform parents/guardians of participating
students’ progress toward learning goals, including parent conferences, phone calls, parent night
for students to demonstrate what they are learning in the program, attendance and progress
reports, and emails from the teachers.
The instructors or the principal will discuss the students’ learning targets with parents during the
informational sessions. Progress Reports will be sent to parents after each unit of study, and the
principal or the district will monitor the FLP quarterly.
The district will provide guidance to the schools to ensure multiple efforts are made to engage
parents in the feedback process (ie. Email, phone call, postal service).
10G - Describe the LEA's/school's plan for informing stakeholders regarding results of the
program evaluation, effectiveness of the program, and ongoing program improvement(s).
The school will report the results of the program in Parent Advisory meetings, Title I Annual
Meeting and parent nights, school website, data reported in the data room, during the monthly
Central Change Team, the district advisory board, the local newspaper, the school newsletter, the
local school council and through progress reports for the FLP students.
The district will utilize the written summary from the data analyzed by the Data Teams and
Better Seeking Team to determine if and what changes should be made to the program and
record any “ah ha” moments.
During the spring, a FLP revision/evaluation meeting will be scheduled to evaluate the FLP for
2016-17. Stakeholders will be invited and encouraged to participate in the school improvement

process. Results of the surveys and students’ achievement will be shared with teachers during a
faculty meeting, and other stakeholders during the spring FLP evaluation/revision meeting.
Current achievement data will be analyzed by the Better Seeking Team and the district then
shared with stakeholders at Parent meetings, Title I Annual Meeting and parent nights, school
website, reported in the data room, shared during the monthly Central Change Team, the district
advisory board, the local newspaper, the school newsletter, the school governance team (SGT),
and posted in the Parent Resource Room.
The district will provide guidance to the school to ensure multiple efforts are made to engage
parents in the feedback process (ie. Email, phone call, postal service).
