Principal: Special education and monolingual students showing strong diagnostic growth
Summary
The principal credited targeted supports and instructional assistants for 'grade-level' growth among special education and monolingual students, highlighting state-funded literacy support and classroom assistants.
The principal highlighted that special education students and monolingual learners showed notable gains on recent diagnostics, describing those gains as "grade levels worth of growth." She credited a state-funded literacy program run by Miss Harwood, seven instructional assistants working with Miss Eddie, and targeted interventions that supported consistent progress.
Leaders noted that although those students remain below grade level because of disabilities, the measured growth exceeded expectations for the period: "Over 100% of their like a year's growth that we would expect kids to make," the principal said, pointing to progress in reading and math graphs included in the materials. The presentation emphasized that focused staffing and strategic intervention were essential to the results.
