Summary
The board unanimously adopted a campus plan that includes weekly PLCs, module assessments, exit‑ticket monitoring and student 'shade your success' artifacts. District staff projected measurable growth targets ahead of STAAR testing.
The Seguin ISD Board of Trustees on Feb. 24 approved a targeted improvement plan for Global Elementary aimed at boosting end‑of‑year reading and math performance for grades 3–5.
Campus leaders and instructional staff told trustees the plan focuses on two priorities: daily implementation of high‑quality instructional materials (HQIM) and tighter, data‑driven instruction in small groups. The plan uses frequent module assessments, exit tickets and student data binders (described by staff as "shade your success" artifacts) to identify students who are one to four questions away from the next performance level and to target interventions.
The campus set interim, measurable goals: an increase in the share of students meeting grade‑level expectations on STAR reading (grades 3–5) from 40% to 46% and a math target from 37% to 49% by the next reporting cycle. District presenters said those targets are reachable given the midyear baseline and focused intervention strategies.
How it will be measured: Teachers will bring student work and module results to weekly PLCs; instructional coaches will run small‑group readiness sessions, and leadership will monitor walk‑throughs and lesson plans. The plan includes differentiated group assignments by specific TEKS and named interventions for students scoring in particular bands on module assessments.
Board discussion: Trustees asked about tools, teacher coaching and how the campus would prevent test fatigue. Presenters said the RenStar screener and benchmark windows are intentional; they emphasized the plan is meant to inform immediate instructional adjustments rather than increase testing load beyond existing district assessments.
What happens next: The board adopted the plan unanimously. Campus and district staff will report progress to the board in upcoming meetings and provide updates before STAAR testing. The plan documentation and student artifact examples were filed with the board packet for trustee review.
