Summary:
|
Grant funds are allocated to districts who have schools who are categorized as needing comprehensive or intensive improvement support, based upon various indicators listed on the Illinois School Report Card (i.e. academic proficiency, academic growth, chronic absenteeism, 9th graders on track, and graduation rate). Grant funds may be used for planning and implementing school improvement activities such as contracting for professional services from State approved learning partners who help schools analyze data, research evidence-based interventions to improve academic growth and proficiency, and monitor school improvement plan progress.
These learning partners are consultants that help with school improvement goals, which are determined based upon school level needs assessments. The learning partner funding flows directly from ISBE Title Grant Funds. The two proposals that are ready for approval from Fairview and Dubois, who both are planning to partner with Carnegie Learning, which is the publishing company for our new Math elementary Math curriculum, Clear Math. This partnership will support continued professional learning and development for teachers implementing the new program in its second year. This teacher training and support will ultimately support continued increases in student learning and achievement in math.
Fairview Cost: $35,000
Dubois Cost: $25,000.03
