I. Setting (Describe the population and special learning circumstances) II. Content/Subject/Field Area (The area/topic addressed based on learner achievement, data analysis, or observational data) III. Baseline Data (What does the current data show?)
I teach two classes of grade 10 English students. I have a total of 57 students. Twentynine percent of my students qualify for services and have IEPs. I will focus on expository and persuasive essay writing. Last year only 35% of my students scored proficient on the essay portion of the state writing test.
I administered both an expository writing prompt and a persuasive writing prompt and scored it using a 6-point rubric in which a score of 4 is proficient. The data show that 28% of my students scored 4 points or better on the expository writing sample and 20% of my students scored 4 points or better on the persuasive writing sample. Data attached
For the current school year, 100% of my students will make measurable progress on both expository writing and persuasive writing. By the end of the school year, 75% of my students will score 4 points or better on the expository writing sample and 75% of my students will score 4 points or better on the persuasive writing sample.
