SAFETY NET PLAN

John N.C. Stockton Elementary

Extended learning opportunities / safety nets are offered through:

Safety Nets (Include in-school, before, and after school safety nets):

• Guided reading, writing, and math sessions
• One on One conferencing in all subject areas
• DRA 2 - is an assessment used to help teachers drive their instruction and differentiate material for students. It can help teachers determine a student’s instructional reading level as well as help to document students’ growth as a reader after instruction with quality literature.
• Progress Monitoring Plans – every child that is a Level 1 or Level 2 in reading or math on as determined by the FCAT will receive a PMP. The PMP lists strategies that are offered for remediation in the deficit areas. Every child receiving a PMP will have a conference scheduled with the parents/guardians to discuss the PMP.
• Soar to Success - is an intervention program published by Houghton-Mifflin. The program is designed to help students with the five building blocks of reading: comprehension, phonics, phonemic awareness, vocabulary and fluency. It is a supplemental program in which the teacher works with a small group of students for 30-40 minutes a day. Teachers use the nonfiction and fiction quality literature to help struggling readers. According to research, when teachers use this program with fidelity their students make gains.
• AIDE Data – data is produced and reviewed quarterly from the AIDE data set. This information helps to determine those students that are below, on, and above grade level. Discussion then centers around differentiated instruction and progression of students from one quarter to the next.

• Class Plans – after reviewing the AIDE Data class plans are developed to address the needs of students performing at, on, or below grade level. Every quarter the plans are assessed for student achievement.
• Grade Level Tutoring – tutoring is offered before and after school by various teachers at each grade level.
• Target Team – team is comprised of the principal, assistant principal, academic instructional coach, ESE specialist, guidance counselor, and school psychologist who meet to discuss the needs of struggling students

• Wilson Reading System – the Wilson Reading System is used with struggling readers in grades K-3. It is a research based reading / writing program used for teaching decoding and encoding (spelling) beginning with phoneme segmentation. It utilizes verbal, visual, and tactile modalities.
• Friendship Group – the principal and assistant principal refer students to the guidance counselor for possible participation in “Friendship Group.” The guidance counselor meets with these students (whom are struggling academically, behaviorally, and emotionally) to work through concerns as well as introduces strategies to help students work through issues positively and productively.
• Summer Reading Program – Duval County provides a district summer reading program for all third through fifth grade students who did not score a Level 2 or higher on the FCAT Reading test. First and second grade students who scored within the intensive range on DIBELS assessments also received extensive reading instruction through Summer Reading School.
• Bottom Quartile Safety Net Program – students identified as “bottom quartile” in reading and math will receive small group / individual instruction on an as need basis. Students are identified during grade level resource day training.
