FAQ 4

4. What programs exist at Lynn Road to enhance instruction?

We are a Title 1 school. Students who are not on grade level in reading are provided additional reading instruction from Title 1.

We also have the ALP, Accelerated Learning Program, for students who are in 3rd through 5th grade. This program also focuses on reading instruction.

We have 2 Special Education teachers who work with students. Sometimes these teachers will pull students out of the classroom to work in a small class environment. Other times they will work with the students in their classrooms.

This year teachers have been working in Professional Learning Communities. They meet every two weeks to discuss the needs of their students and to develop a plan to address the greatest needs. By focusing intently on specific areas of weakness, teachers are able to address student's needs very quickly. Teachers use a pre-test and post-test to assess progress.

The B.A.R.K.S. program is an exciting program that gets students excited about reading. Trained therapy dogs come to school each week. Students read to the dogs and work with the handler for additional help with reading.

We offer English as a Second Language, ESL, for students for whom English is not their first language. The program offers instruction inside the classroom and outside of the classroom in small group settings..

Parent and community volunteers: We have parent and other community volunteers who work with students weekly. We have a Granny Program that brings adults into the building to work with students. We currently have students coming from a local college to tutor students.

Project Achieve lessons in grades 2-5 help the students cover the Standard Course of Study. Students receive lessons and then take assessments on a program called Blue Diamond. Teachers are able to assess the progress of students and address areas of need. Teachers can look at the data for their school, their class, or for individual students.

Study Island is another computer program that can be used for student assessment. This program can be used for individual, differentiated instruction. This program is also available to students at home.

Team Time is built into the schedule for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade classes. During Team Time, teachers specifically target a part of the curriculum that needs remediation or enrichment. This time can be used to help strengthen the most important parts of the curriculum.

Quarterly Review: Each quarter, teachers have the opportunity to bring students to Quarterly Review to discuss the needs of the student. The team discusses interventions that might help students. This is only one way that we try to monitor student progress on a regular basis.

The Student Support Team Committee meets weekly to discuss students who are struggling in the classroom. They are able to offer suggestions to parents and teachers regarding how to help students.

The Title 1/Literacy teacher works as a literacy coach to various grade levels. She instructs the teachers and conferences with students during Writer's Workshop.
