STANDARDS IMPLEMENTATION Action Plan

School Years 2005 -2007

Waianae Intermediate School Date – June 2005

CROSS-CUTTING ISSUE: Meeting “Adequate Yearly Progress” (AYP) as required by the federal No Child Left Behind Act
Standards-Based Student Outcome Goal(s)
Students will demonstrate academic achievement in reading and writing.
Annual Goals and Benchmarks
Year 1: In spring 2005, 44% of the 8th graders will meet proficiency in reading and will earn an average of 49% in the 5 writing dimensions in the H.S.A.
Year 2: In spring 2006, 44% of the 8th graders will meet proficiency in reading and will earn an average of 53% in the 5 writing dimensions in the H.S.A.
Year 3: In spring 2007, 44% of the 8th graders will meet proficiency in reading and will earn an average of 57% in the 5 writing dimensions in the H.S.A. / Rationale: Academic achievement is addressed in the GLOs. WIS adopted America’s Choice (AC) as its Comprehensive Reform Model to address literacy, along with 4 out of the 5 elementary feeder schools. The 5th elem. school adopted Direct Instruction. In spring 2004, 16% of the 8th graders “Met Proficiency” in reading and earned an average of 41% in the 5 writing dimensions of the HSA. Three percent of the 7th graders “Achieved the Overall Standard” in reading and 4% AOS in writing in the NSRE. In spring 2005, WIS learned it would begin restructuring in SY 2005-’06.

Waianae Intermediate School Date – June 2005

CROSS-CUTTING ISSUE: Meeting AYP as required by the federal NCLB Act
Standards-Based Student Outcome Goal(s)
Students will demonstrate academic achievement in mathematics and apply problem solving and critical thinking skills.
Annual Goals and Benchmarks
Year 1: In spring 2005, 28% of the 8th graders will Meet Proficiency in the Hawaii State Assessment for mathematics.
Year 2: In spring 2006, 28% will Meet Proficiency in HSA….
Year 3: In spring 2007, 28%will Meet Proficiency in HSA…. / Rationale
The ability to achieve academically and apply problem solving and critical thinking skills are GLOs for all students at Waianae Intermediate. The math department believes that students need to focus on mathematical concepts and problem solving. In 2001-2002, WIS adopted the Connected Mathematics Program to help students meet the HSA mathematics goals. In spring 2004, 5% of the 8th graders Met Proficiency on the HSA (Mathematics), and 1% of the 7th graders AOS on the NSRE (Mathematics).
