Raise Achievement for All Students and Eliminate Achievement Gaps-

Strategies for All Strategies for Special Populations Systemically defined high quality instruction (Framework for

Teaching) Implementation of a caseload model to provide for

increased staffing for direct support for students with disabilities

Continued foundation in Cultural Proficiency Implementation of specialized program coordinators to provide direct support to students and staff in programs

Accelerated Learning Process (ALP) training and coaching

Addition of two new specialized programs

FCPS Collaborative Improvement Process (CIP) Professional learning on developing and implementing standards-aligned IEPs and monitoring students’ progress

Updated Curriculum Resources and Workgroup-Elementary ELA*

Systemic workgroup to support students with Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, and Dyscalculia*

Updated Universal Screening for Reading and Continuum of Services for Structured Literacy Intervention*

Decentralization of and upgrades to EL Program at secondary level

*Strategies will be highlighted in evening presentation on Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, and Dyscalculia


Key Successes Key Tasks Completed Other Important Variables or Challenges

West Frederick Middle School (ELA)* >10 percentage point increase in

students scoring 4/5 since 2015 Outperforming “similar schools”

Content Knowledge: standards studyEvidence of Learning: short cycle formative assessment, student work samplesInstructional Design: challenging tasks for all with scaffolds as neededStudent Agency: incorporating choice

Conducive schedule for consistent meetings

Ensuring high quality job embedded professional learning

Department retreats Teacher leadership (positions in

formula)Linganore High School (Math)* >12 percentage point increase in

students scoring 4/5 since 2017 implementation

Key Successes

Exit rate for English Learner (EL) students increased by 31% based on state assessment given to all students across the state (ACCESS for EL’s)

92% of students who were offered English 12 as a summer school course passed (36/39 students)

Exited English Learners perform similarly to non-English Learner peers

Statistically significant increases were seen in math and English language arts for English Learners at the elementary level and all FCPS

In 2016-2017, the overall language proficiency composite for all EL students was 2.9. In 2017-2018, the overall composite was 3.4. This represents an increase in language proficiency by 17%.


Key Tasks Completed Other Important Variables or Challenges Continued professional learning and implementation of high quality

instruction for EL students through Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol (SIOP)

Growth of student population at the secondary level (130% increase since 2015-16)- often limited and interrupted formal education, and having experienced traumatic situations

Development and implementation of two math foundational courses to close the gap for students with limited math skills at the secondary level

Enrollment experience can represent a significant change in schooling experiences and expectations from their home countries

Additional counseling and mental health supports for EL students at the secondary level, in particular where decentralization occurred

Time period for English language acquisition- takes 5-7 years (up to 10 years for students with limited formal education), whereas high school is 4 years

Teacher and counselor collaborative guidance with students to understand and map out a graduation or program completer pathway for their career and/or college aspirations

Need to teach both the academic English language and the first language

Expanded opportunities for course offerings for EL students to accelerate credit attainment towards graduation requirements, including additional summer school courses, extended day schedules, high school credit attainment while students are still in middle school, and the establishment of formal partnerships for students to access community supports

Comfort and experience with technology use for EL students and their families-difficulty in accessing resources

Worked with FCC to create viable options for students to obtain a GED if they will likely be unable to obtain a high school diploma by the time they age out
