BPA READING PLAN

2006 - 2009

 

Executive Summary

The BPA 2006 – 2009 Reading Plan has been crafted to support our School Improvement Plan Goal 3 Student Performance in the area of Reading.

 

Using available resources, diagnostic assessment tools, targeted intervention, continuous progress monitoring and innovative programming techniques it is the goal of the BPA that:

 

All students regardless of diversity and special needs placement will be reading at / or above grade level as measured by the FCAT SSS or the Stanford Achievement Test (STA-10).

 

Under this plan, Reading Level I and II students, AIP, LEP / ESOL, ESE, Economically Disadvantaged and those considered ‘at-risk’ will be specifically targeted for programming intervention.

 

The centerpiece of the BPA Reading Plan is the adoption of the practice of rigorous assessment and the use of data driven intervention, the provision of a differentiated and standardized scientifically defensible instructional curricula based on individual student needs through the introduction of multiage reading programming across all grade levels (K-3) under highly qualified teachers, and frequent progress monitoring through continual assessment to expected Grade Level benchmarks and the Florida State Sunshine Standards.

 

In addition, the BPA will employ other strategies to promote early literacy and fluency which are found in subsequent areas of this plan.

 

This plan will be annually evaluated by the SAC and the BPA Board of Directors, based upon individualized annual student learning gains performance data from mandated District and State Standardized Tests; namely the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test Reading SSS, and the Stanford Achievement Test – 10 Reading Strands.

BPA TECHNOLOGY PLAN

2006 - 2009

 

Executive Summary

The BPA 2006 – 2009 School Improvement Technology Plan has been principally derived from the Educational Technology Plan for the State of Florida 2004, a comparison of our school’s currently available technological resources to those within the Monroe County School District (MCSD), and our District’s goals for classroom infrastructure as contained within its Technology Plan 2006.

 

Based upon our individual school needs for the provision of public school education (K-3) and the availability of current and emergent District Technology, it is our goal to ensure the equity of district-wide public school access for both BPA teachers and students to available District Information Technology resources and funding.

 

Through the provision of equitable access to current district-wide public school information technologies, it is our primary objective to promote the effective use of technology to implement the Sunshine Standards to improve the performance of all students at the BPA.

 

BPA Technology Goals Supporting State SIP Goals

 

STATE EDUCATION GOAL AREA 2

SCHOOL GOAL:                To ensure a year’s worth of quality education for every student.

 

 

STATE EDUCATION GOAL AREA 3

SCHOOL GOAL:                To ensure students make annual learning gains sufficient to acquire the knowledge, skills and competencies needed to master state standards, successfully compete at the highest levels nationally and internationally, and be prepared to make well-reasoned, thoughtful, and healthy lifelong decisions.

 

STATE EDUCATION GOAL AREA 4

SCHOOL GOAL:                To provide a learning environment conducive to teaching and learning, in which our education program is based on student performance data and strives to eliminate achievement gaps by improving learning for all students.

 

 

STATE EDUCATION GOAL AREA 6

SCHOOL GOAL:                To provide professional teachers and staff who possess the competencies and demonstrate the performance needed to maximize learning among all students.
