Mueller's Campus Improvement Plan
guides student learning school wide. Grade 1-5 students are pre-tested the first week
of school and placed into Instructional
Skill Groups according to their best learning levels for language
arts. Grade 2-5 students are placed into math instructional skill
groups to meet their learning needs.
Teachers teach grade level objectives that tie in with school, district, and state assessment
expectations so students grow and develop academically all year
long. Teaching strategies are developed by teachers, staff, and
parents that help support students reaching their academic expectations.
Campus Improvement Plan objectives include:
1. Communication: All students will demonstrate the ability to effectively communicate through oral and written language.
2. Problem Solving and Critical Thinking: All students will demonstrate improved problem solving abilities in all curricular areas.
Specifically, K-5 students are pre-tested the first weeks of school on five reading, writing, and math areas:
Basic Reading Level, Graphic Organizers (informational and expository reading).
Writing (analytical rating guide), Basic Math Facts,
and Math Performance (problem solving, communication, and reasoning).
Teachers provide classroom instruction time for students to master
these concepts at their appropriate grade levels. At the end of
the year, students are post tested in these areas and results
are tabulated for individual, classroom, and grade scores.
Additionally, district and state assessments are used to document
Mueller's overall growth on
a yearly basis. District and state assessments are further disaggregated
according to race, gender, and socio-economic status as required
by the state BOE. School assessments help assure students are
making progress in all areas and provide instructional goals for
teachers to target for improvement.
