St Lucie Action Plan

Contact: Janet Good - jgood@usf.edu

On Hold due to Hurricane Irma 10/26/17


Planning focus for 2017-2018

• Each district will pick a target school for support. Focus activities will include:
  • Develop a school based AEM Team comprised of the TLC regional coordinator, the district representatives, and selected school representatives. This team will coordinate and oversee the school AEM support activities.
  • Implementation of a learning media assessment. The TLC Team will provide a uPAR site license so any student in the school who is a struggling reader will have access to the assessment. More information on the uPAR can be found at http://donjohnston.com/upar/ .
  • Implementation of a student engagement survey. This should be done in the beginning of the year and at the end of the year to see if the AEM support activities for this school have an impact on student engagement. The survey items will be pulled from the items listed on the Survey Questions page in this wiki.
  • School support based on the district AEM team analysis of the AEM Quality Indicators (below). The local AEM Team will identify one or more target support services to provide the school based on the analysis of the indicators, barriers, data, and support services.
