Meeting :
Feb 26, 2018 - 3 Curriculum, Instruction, and Technology Committee
Category :

Type :
Action (Committees)
Recommended Action :
That the Board of School Directors hereby amends the motion previously approved by the Board for Agenda Item 5.1 (Weight Room Quotes) at its February 12, 2018, meeting so that the dollar amount in the motion associated with Youngsville High school is changed from $54,441.00 to 51,441.00.

Public Content

Due to a clerical error, the dollar amount pertaining to Youngsville High School ($54,441) does not match the dollar amount of the quote ($51,441.00). 

 

Robert’s Rules of Order has a procedure whereby the Board can amend a motion that was adopted at a previous meeting.  It is not a re-vote on, or reconsideration of, the underlying issue/motion.  It is merely a motion to amend a previously adopted motion to correct an error in the motion.  If for any reason the motion to amend the previously approved motion would fail, the only result would be that the error in the dollar amount would remain.  The motion that was previously approved would not be rescinded or effected in any way.

Public Content

The Warren County School District has implemented MTSS to engage students in high quality, research-based instruction in general education.  The RLIS grant will be used to support implementation of Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS) software designed to close the achievement gap early and place all K-2 children on a predictable path to reading proficiently by grade 3.  iRead is organized around five foundational principles to deliver the very best early-reading instruction. 

 

The software integrates (1) direct instruction, (2) guided practice, (3) independent practice, (4) adjusted instruction, and (5) assessment for mastery.

 

Students will develop as literate individuals through access to a comprehensive blended learning environment that takes into account their individual learning profiles and actively engages them in systematic, explicit instruction in foundational reading.  Beginning with alphabet knowledge, print concepts, and phonological awareness, and working towards increasingly complex skills in word recognition, spelling, and fluency, iRead places all children on a predictable path to read proficiently by grade 3. 

 

iRead will support implementation of MTSS so children have access to tiered instructional interventions.  The Fluency and Automaticity through Systematic Teaching with Technology (FASTT) algorithm leverages the power of adaptive technology to continuously monitor performance and customize pacing, instructional load, and content for each child, ensuring instructional time is 100% optimized.

iRead also promotes family engagement with program-embedded features and online resources to help parents and caregivers with valuable downloadable resources to teach the alphabet and other foundational reading skills.
