student results of future outcome in this curricular area..
GOAL:
Improvement of students’ skills in Language Arts: Written
Communication
QUALITY
CHARACTERISTIC: Students will demonstrate compositional
writing skills in three formats of written communication:
*Expository,
Narrative, and Persuasive essays. (*Expository is area of emphasis)
Measure
One: Students in grades K – 1 will demonstrate their
development of written communication skills as they apply the
state standards of compositional writing assessment.
Process
One: Every three weeks*, the children will assess their
written communication skills by completing a response to a
story prompt. The students throughout the school will use the
same Expository prompt. Using the state scoring rubric, student
and teacher will determine the student level of skills in written
communication by comparing their work with the standards set
for their grade level. During September through November, Kindergarten
will do this as a whole-class experience chart. Beginning in
December, Kindergarten will conduct individual student assessments.
Teachers
will score the student essays and provide feedback to the
students relating to the progress the students are making
towards Exceeding, Meeting, or Does Not
Meet state standards. Five from each classroom will be monitored (1 @ high,
2 @ average, 2 @ low) to measure school progress. The grade
level will add results,
expressed as a percent, on charts. The S.I.P. team will list the “All School” results.

development of written Communication skills as they apply the
State standards of compositional writing assessment.
Process
Two: Every three weeks*, the children will assess their
written communication skills by completing a response to a
story prompt. The students throughout the school will use the
same Expository prompt (Third Grade will continue to instruct
and assess all three genre’). Using the state scoring
rubric, student and teacher will determine the student level
of skills in written communication by comparing their work
with the standards set for their grade level.
Teachers and students will score the essays and provide feedback
to the students relating to the progress the students are making
towards Exceeding, Meeting,
or Does Not Meet state standards. Five from each classroom will be monitored
(1 @ high, 2 @ average, 2 @ low) to measure school progress. The grade level

will complete the initial scoring of their written essay.
Then, teachers will score the student essays and provide
feedback to students relating to the progress the students

for moving to the next higher skill level.
