Oakland Elementary reports TVAAS jump to Level 3, credits targeted instruction
Summary
Oakland Elementary School told the Fayette County Public Schools committee it serves about 560 students and has improved from TVAAS Level 1 to Level 3 after implementing weekly PLCs, benchmark-driven interventions and daily tutoring.
Dr. Jackson, principal of Oakland Elementary School, told the Education, Sports and CTE Committee that the school serves approximately 560 students and has risen from a TVAAS Level 1 designation to Level 3.
She credited “weekly Professional Learning Community meetings, collaborative teacher planning, daily intervention and tutoring, regular data meetings, and benchmark assessments” for the improvement, saying early teacher and student feedback on targeted interventions has been positive.
The presentation described several schoolwide initiatives meant to boost achievement, including math fact fluency practice, a “Writing Wednesday” program to strengthen writing across grades, student data tracking to promote ownership of progress, and continued enrichment through art, music and physical education. Dr. Jackson also noted daily grade-level team collaboration built into the master schedule and supports such as tiered behavior interventions and a Learning Lab for reading intervention.
Board members asked questions about the reading intervention program; Dr. Jackson said targeted interventions began after winter benchmark assessments and that progress will be monitored via future benchmarks and TCAP results. Committee members commended the school for its academic growth and community partnerships.
The committee did not take formal action on the presentation; members thanked Dr. Jackson and moved on to other agenda items.
