  • By spring 2026, the percentage of Lemon Road students in grades K-3 meeting or exceeding the VALLSS screener benchmarks will increase by 5 percentage points from 85% to 90% as compared to spring 2025 VALLSS data.                                   

Strategies:

  1. Increase teacher pedagogical skills in evidence-based literacy instruction to improve implementation of the core curriculum (ex. explicit instruction, student discourse).
  2. Increase access to rigorous evidence-based, grade-level curriculum through intentional use of scaffolds and supports in reading and writing lessons during tier 1 and 2 instruction (ex. Integrated ELD, GLAD strategies, FCPS resources for students with disabilities).
  3. Use data from formative and summative assessments in the core curriculum to guide instructional decisions during tier 1 and tier 2 reading and writing instruction (ex. data dialogues, CT data discussions)."                            

Mathematics

  • By spring 2026, the percentage of students with disabilities passing the grades 3 - 6 Mathematics SOL will increase from 61% to 66% as compared to SOL results from spring 2025.
  • By spring 2026, the percentage of all students who pass advance on the G 3-6 Mathematics SOL will increase from 43.5% to 48.5% as compared to spring 2025.                                           

Strategies:

  1. Improve alignment of instructional planning based on analysis of common assessments.
  2. Increase students' self-efficacy around the ability to be successful in mathematics.
  3. Increase teachers' implementation of balanced assessment strategies as related to Shift 8: from looking for correct answers towards revealing student thinking."                            

Portrait of a Graduate: Presentations of Learning

Measurable Outcome: By the end of SY 2025-26 100% of students in grades K & 1 will meet proficiency on Criterion 1: “I Grew” of the POG POL rubric by sharing how they have grown throughout the year.

By the end of SY 2025-2026, 100% of students in grades 2-6 will meet proficiency on Criterions 1 and 3 “I Grew…” and “Here’s Why It Matters” on the POG POL rubric by sharing their growth in a selected POG attribute and skill and sharing why that growth is important to the student now and in the future by participating in a Presentation of Learning.

  1. Dedicate time for regular student reflection (Resource 1; Resource 2 for IB Schools) - such as turn and talks, quick writes, or silent thinking to self - to process the POG/ATL skills they utilized during meaningful learning experiences and consider how they can continue to grow.
  2. Create portfolios (Resource 1) dedicated to documenting growth in POG/ATL attributes and skills.
  3. Engage students in reflection and planning (Resource 1) to share their growth in a presentation of learning.
