District reports mixed progress on Effective Instruction coaching and student literacy measures
Summary
District leaders reported coaching participation rates across sites and student progress on literacy tools (Lexia CORE 5). The packet notes implementation gaps: e.g., of 649 students in Lexia, 11% moved to in-or-above grade level since the start of the year; many teachers have incomplete unit/weekly plans.
Superintendent Dr. Renee Corneille and Effective Instruction staff presented a department update showing coaching and planning implementation across district sites. They reported site-level coaching uptake (for example, high participation in early childhood and variable participation at SAVHS) and planning completion rates (SAVHS: 63% of teachers have an instructional map; other sites showed mixed completion percentages).
The report included student literacy metrics tied to Lexia CORE 5: "Of the 649 students working in Lexia CORE 5 11% have moved into in or above grade level measures since the start of the school year," the packet shows. The presentation highlighted that 101 students were judged "on target," 111 as "some risk," and 433 as "high risk" based on combined measures and usage data. The district discussed targeted coaching, PD plans through February 2025, and next steps to increase unit planning and alignment with anchor standards.
SAVEA (the teachers’ union) provided a brief effective-instruction update noting survey responses and recommendations for implementation supports; the packet records that 81% of SAVEA respondents started or completed at least one EI unit and raised workloads as a concern. The district and SAVEA indicated they are engaged in ongoing discussions about supports and workload impacts.
