My Plan

Action Planning Template
Goal: To improve our Tier I and II math interventions so that each student obtains greater success in state approved assessments and other diagnostic assessments.
Action Steps(s):	Person(s) Responsible:	Timeline: Start/End	Needed Resources	Evaluation
Establish a base-line of data by reviewing testing conducted at the beginning of this year.	PST Team	Start: August 2011 End: September, 2011	Data off of AWARE district system: Benchmark testing, Report card grades	Benchmark testing, report cards for each nine weeks.
Compare the data mentioned above to the data from the last benchmark from the previous year.	PST Team	Start: September, 2011 End: September, 2011	Data off of AWARE district system: Benchmark testing, Report card grades	Benchmark testing, report cards for each nine weeks`
Collect literature on effective TI and TII math interventions  highlighting the following: What effective interventions look like, strategies used, teacher to student ratio, and use of manipulatives.	Cynthia Starkey	Start: September, 2011 End: ?	Sources on effective RTI implementation, Sources on effective math strategies, Sources on group size/makeup	Notes: Did I reach the saturation level in my research or at least have a clear understanding of what the following should look like: effective TI and TII interventions, strategies used, teacher-to-student ratio, use of manipulatives
Establish the sample group for both TI and TII settings.	Principal: Mrs. Weiss	Start: September, 2011 End:April/May 2011	Two classrooms (TI settings) Two pull-out groups (TII settings).  I would prefer to follow students from their TI and TII settings for possible trends.	Notes: lay out parameters for study group which might include: studying the students at the bottom 20% of TI and 100% of students in TII
Observe students in both Tier I and II settings	Cynthia Starkey	Start: September/October 2011 End: April/May 2011	Video/Audio Recording (optional), sample group	Notes: What are the trends?
Interview teachers and students individually at least once a semester	Cynthia Starkey	Start: November/December End: March/April	Video/Audio Recording, portions or all of the sample group, All teachers involved in the study	Notes and video/audio recordings
Survey teachers and students at the beginning and end of study	Cynthia Starkey	Start: September/October End: April/May	Copy of survey for teacher and one for student	Survey summary in notes, report or graph form.
Implement strategies at the TI and/or TII level	Kim Elliott (District Lead Math Teacher), TI teacher (A and B), TII teacher (C, and D), Cynthia Starkey	Start: November End: April/May	Manipulative, teacher lesson plans	Weekly assessments, Tier I and II documentation sheets.
Reflection and Report Summary	Cynthia Starkey	Start: September (reflection) March(report summary) End: April/May	Notes, data, video/audio tapes, lesson plans, student math journal, interviews	Composite report and course evaluation.
