Campus Improvement Plan

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.
