Windcoat Elementary reports slight literacy decline, outlines literacy initiatives and PBIS trend
Summary
Windcoat presenters told the Cheltenham School District board that literacy scores dipped slightly and the school will focus on literacy initiatives; presenters also showed a three-year trend of PBIS referrals as part of data-driven plans to adjust instruction.
Mr. Taylor, speaking for Windcoat Elementary School, told the Cheltenham School District board that literacy "took a slight hit" last year and that the school is prioritizing literacy initiatives this year.
Taylor framed the presentation with the school's mission and instructional plan, saying the school aligns closely with the district instructional framework and that staff are assessing data to "adjust our instructional practices and intervene and enrich where necessary." He described the fall as a "new beginning," noting the school welcomed kindergarteners and fifth graders and that staff focused on planning and transitions.
The presentation included three-year trend slides showing PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) referral data. Taylor said the slides would "help frame the rest of the presentation" and emphasized that the district and school are using data to target literacy work and behavioral supports. The board received the data presentation; no vote or formal board directive was recorded in the transcript segment provided.
Next steps described in the presentation were limited to continued data analysis and implementation of literacy-focused interventions; the transcript did not specify a timeline, funding amounts, or exact programs beyond PBIS and general literacy initiatives.
