The purpose of this project, Target Group Improvement Plan, is to select a target group in need of improvement and to develop an improvement plan. By gathering and analyzing the data for my school. Next, based on target group, I will analyze patterns to determine root causes for the groups' challenges and will then develop SMART goals and objectives.
Finally, my ultimate goal will be to determine roles, establish a calendar, and create a plan for monitoring and communicating progress for the target group.

Analyze Data
Based on 2012-2013 CST scores, the current target group were performing basic to below basic of 29% of student population from grade 2. With the current baseline and strategic planning from Grade 4 teachers, these students will be scaffolded to perform proficient in 2015.
The Scholastic Reading Intervention (SRI) Growth progress report shows expected growth in Lexiles for each student based on grade level and initial Lexile score. The actual growth can demonstrate the effectiveness of intervention program. Furthermore, SRI is administered before the end of each trimester. Lastly, the growth needed for proficient will be a used to scaffold and modify instructional delivery during the intervention and classroom activities.
Home Connection Data
Based on the target group, the usage of Lexia Core 5 at home varies and some students' home environment does not have access or decline using the online tool. Each child, must complete the sessions at home and two students from the target group demonstrate a lack of parent involvement in completing the online program.
Independent Reading Assessments
The purpose of the Scholastic Reading Counts (SRC) report consists of a table that show the number of books read and related book information by target group. The books are read at in class, at home and demonstrate independent reading.The evident trend shows that 3/5 students have not completed any SRC quizzes.
The diagnostic report for Accelerated Reader can show AR quizzes taken from September to April. The overall percentage of correct responses demonstrate, which students need some further guidance in various comprehension skills to achieve mastery. The points can demonstrate how many points earned thus far. This information is displayed in class to ensure students achieve the class goal of 50 AR points. Clearly, the target group is less than 1/5 in reaching the goal. This demonstrates the lack of motivation in leisure reading. Lastly, the ATOS book level (BL) demonstrate the average independent reading level. Students are challenging themselves and it shows based on the various book level selections. The Lexile Measure is an indicator used to match Read 180 to validate the correlation between both assessments.
