School Climate Goal
Analysis Summary
27 % of students are demonstrating internalizing behaviors according to Winter SRSS-IE data . This pattern is most common in 3rd, 4th and 5th grades. We believe the problem is a result of students needing more practice and support using social/emotional problem-solving skills and a need for a consistent 4:1 positive to corrective feedback ratio. A strategy for improvement is to have teachers participate in public practice by videoing themselves to self-assess positive to corrective feedback ratios and feedback sequences.
Goal
By May 2022, 100% of Sprucewood teachers will demonstrate 4:1 positive to corrective feedback and follow up 100% of corrective feedback with a feedback sequence to reinforce when a student demonstrates the desired behavior as evidenced by informal and formal IPOP data.
Action Plan Summary
1) school social worker will provide a supplemental/support lesson per class per month
2) provide professional development on feedback and feedback sequences
3) teachers will participate in public practice to improve school climate by videoing themselves teaching a lesson of choice and watching individually and/or with peer or coach to analyze their positive to corrective feedback ratio, and total number of feedback sequences that follow corrective feedback when students demonstrate the desired behavior
Measurement
Informal and formal IPOP feedback data
