June 2024 Report
Below is the Oregon City School District reporting on the Strategic Plan efforts as of June 6, 2024.
Instructional Excellence
Goal 1: By 2027, each and every student will achieve at high levels as measured by multiple means.
Students completed the OSAS (Oregon State Assessment) for grades 3-8, 11 and STAR assessments for grades 2-12
Assessment data will be reviewed when they are available later in June.
Students in grades 6-12 participated in a survey around their perception of access of instruction and support as well as their sense of belonging.
Principals are using the survey results to adjust their approach to their Strategic Plan efforts. This data will be used to create plans for support for the 24-25 school year.
Feedback from all professional development opportunities has been reviewed. We will maintain the same focus with Instructional Leadership Team (ILT) and prioritize areas identified by the CLASS Design Team of 12 components in the 5Ds rubric for year one of the new evaluation.
Leadership is prioritizing key practices in instructional components for engagement and student talk this June based on school improvement plans. These will be set as expectations for all classrooms in the 24-25 school year.
Early Literacy Grant Initiatives: Implemented new oral reading fluency resource, Amira, for students grades K-5 starting the end of March 2024.
86.5% of students practiced regulary.
Amira provides data on students making expected gain/more than expected gains.
Kindergarten: 63.46%
First Grade: 54.08%
Second Grade: 66.85%
Third Grade: 54.64%
Fourth Grade: 65.58%
Fifth Grade: 75.27%
Goal 2: By 2027, we will implement a consistent vision for instructional excellence throughout our district.
CLASS Design Team finished the evaluation handbook and trained principals and leadership teams on the tool at a half day training in April.
Since that time, all licensed staff had the opportunity to self-assess on the 12 components of the 5Ds (+1)- there are 2 from each component - that will be the focus areas for next year.
Next year, our evaluation system will change to the 5Ds, and principals will be using the resources and tools to support educators instructionally.
AVID Site Plan - CCI data (that aligns with 5Ds). AVID site teams are creating a crosswalk between the AVID CCI and the 5Ds evaluation tool.
ILTs have requested that next year we continue to identify approaches and resources, including UDL, AVID, Academic Language tools, etc. that can be used to meet goals in the 5Ds. A core of essential best practices will be taught to all staff.
All staff self-assessment occurred in April or May, and an overview of the 5Ds and evaluation handbook were shared. Many staff had already been learning or using aspects of the rubric as their principals were practicing data collection in classroom observations.
Goal 3: By 2027, teaching staff will collaborate using relevant and timely data to meet student instructional needs so that students will meet or exceed grade level standards and expectations.
ILTs have focused on structures for PLCs including assessment calendars for timely data review, revisiting norms and team agreements, and including specialists in PLC rotations to support decision making.
Staff from grades 1-9 were trained in STAR proctoring and STAR data review with one-to-one support for grade level teams in schools.
DIBELS & STAR data are now reported into common folders for data sharing and review across schools.
Administrators and key staff have been trained in MTSS-EWS (Multi-Tiered Systems of Support - Early Warning Systems) with support from student services facilitators, and data is reviewed regularly in the EISD district team meetings.
Early Lit Grant Initiatives: Kindergarten Team created new plan for kindergarten staggered start (Fall 2024) that includes an additional day of instruction for all kindergartners and aligns practices across all schools for welcoming families, structuring the first day of school, and the collection of assessment data.
