NELA Evaluation Plan

(Name of Problem of Practice)

Internship Project Goals
I. Increase the number of proficient students within the Read to Achieve Program
II. Increase parent involvement with the instrument PEP learning
III. Teachers will also improve reading strategies within given text
Internship Project Strategies (What did you do?):
Provide weekly collaborative planning for teachers within Read to Achieve with Instructional coach.
1. Instructional coach facilitates collaborative planning weekly.
2. Instructional coach maintains logs for completion of varied completed reading standards
3. Monitoring instructional practices based on student benchmark data, formative assessment data, and
teacher observation.
4. Guided reading will continue to be the focal point of passage administration.
Activities:

Evaluation Questions
What do you need to know?
How many standards are covered
throughout the Read to Achieve
Portfolio? (Quantity)

Why is important for teachers

comprehension of strategies essential
in the ultimate outcome of Read to
Achieve?
What are the total number of points
students must have to meet the

Measures/Data Sources
How will you find out?
The number of standards
covered may be found in
the Student Portfolio
Implementation Guide
2015-16.

Results
What were the results?
The student Portfolio Implementation guide
provided the written requirements of
approximately 12 standards that are covered
through the portfolio Implementation plan.

Teacher Survey followed by

discussion.

During the Questionnaire provided to teachers

involved with Read to Achieve, teachers stated
that knowing and having a clear understanding
of strategies gave a greater ease in instruction
of practice passages.

Decisions (Guiding Questions: What do the results mean? What are you going to do now?)
Summary of Results (Interpretation of Data): Using the Hollister Elementary School RTA Portfolio Implementation Action
Plan helped serve as a guide for teachers, Coach, and students which gave the monitoring intervals for the completion of
each standard of the portfolio process.

Measures/Data Sources
How will you find out?
Review of the Reading

guide

What strategies were implemented

during guided reading to enhance
comprehension skills?

We chose the
R.U.N.N.E.R.S. strategy to
model implement and
monitor.

Results
What were the results?
The varied areas in which students are
selected and or exempt includes the good
Cause exemption and use of the BOG
assessment prior to the begin of the school
year.
The analysis from the use of the RUNNERS
model provided successful evidence that
students were proving successful with this
model.

Gu ided Reading
Small-group reading is a small-group, assistedliteracy experience in which the t eacher supports
and guides t he students with text on their
instructional level. The teacher helps students
develop an understanding of the text while
prompting them to apply strat egies they will need
to become independent readers. Each small-group
reading group consists of approximately two t o six
members. This small-group setting allows the
teacher to introduce a new text each day and to
ensure that the challenges are manageable. I t also
allows t he teacher to assist and support the
students as they respond to the text in varying
ways.

Guided Reading can be
streamlined to meet t he
individual needs of each
student within a group.
This is essential in
teaching a critical skill
such as reading.
Instruction is easily
managed in small
groups and the teacher
is able t o give individual
at tention and meet t he
students where they are,
moving them along so
they can progress with
confidence.

Sustainability and Integration

School, district, and

state leadership
act ively plan for and
implement systems that
support best practice,
include on-going
program monitoring
and evaluation, and are
inclusive of all
initiat ives.

Comprehensive
implementat ion
includes development
of a full cont inuum of
academic and social
support for all students.

Prof essional
development is
informed by teacher
and program
evaluation, targets
student learning and
specific skill
development, and is
sust ained by ongoing
networking and
coaching.

Intentional scale-up at
all levels is guided by
fidelit y of
implementat ion, which
honors local context
and culture, to ensure
expected outcomes.

RtI is implemented as a
framework for school
improvement under
which all initiatives are
intentionally integrated.
