SUPPORTING STUDENTS AT TIER I ON THESE STANDARDS
Within the Tier 1 Math instruction (30min daily) we will focus on 5.NBT.B.3 (adding and subtracting fractions in word problems). We will consistently utilize the Try Discuss Connect routine in our whole group instruction, including the 3 Reads during the Try as well as with other practice problems. We will focus on lifting up SMP 6 - attend to precision and SMP 1 - using models, visuals, manipulative to represent student thinking. Students will regularly talk with partners to explain and justify their math thinking. Students will set goals at the beginning of the unit considering feedback from the teacher and their pre-assessment results. Feedback will be given throughout instruction but especially at progress monitoring opportunities like exit tickets, comprehension checks, mid-unit, and unit assessments. Flexibly meeting with students in small groups based on the needs identified during the whole-group instruction.

In addition to the core focusing on 5.NBT.B.5, in small groups students will participate 3-4 times a week with an emphasis on understanding the place value of a whole number. Teachers will scaffold the problem by supporting students with steps to apply strategies taught in class related to using visuals model to multiply multi-digit numbers. Students will use area model, partial products, and standard alg. to multiply accurately.
Within small group there will be an intentional focus on increasing student use of math vocabulary terms. Progress monitoring occurs every 1-2 weeks. Goal setting will occur every 1-2 weeks. Student will use success criteria to understand if they met or made progress. Student goals based on pre- and post- data and feedback from the teacher. In the beginning, we will focus on using visual models to multiply (using visuals- SMP1). In the middle, we will focus on using multiple multiplication strategies (attend to precision-SMP6). In the end, we will focus on solving real-world word problems that involve multiplying whole numbers and decimals.
SUPPORTING STUDENTS AT TIER III ON THESE STANDARDS
During intervention block outside the core, in small groups 3 to 5 days a week for 30 minutes students will focus on 5.NBT.B.5 (Multiplying multi-digit numbers and decimals fluently) and related supporting standards. Students will explain their reasoning using drawing pictures or concrete models to represent their thinking and be able to restate the problem through words, pictures or numbers (SMP 6). Students will connect what they know about whole number operations to multiply using a strategy correctly. The teacher will scaffold multiplication/place value problems using concrete and pictorial models to solve written equations, assist students in describing conceptual model of multiplication, and help them solve a variety of problems involving multiplying whole number and decimals using multiple strategies. Teacher resources like Ready Classroom will be used. Progress monitoring occurs every 1-2 weeks. Goal setting will occur every 1-2 weeks. Student will use success criteria to understand if they met or made progress. Student goals based on pre- and post- data and feedback from the teacher.

Tier three strategies will be provided for all students as extra support by the music teacher. Due to time constraints and focus on improving reading, writing and math scores, there is no additional time to meet individually with students outside of their already scheduled music instruction time. All students are given class time with a specialist, with extensive knowledge of music pedagogy, and all are monitored for individual growth based off of their starting base of 0.05263 (pre-assessment coefficient). Strategies will be repeated often as needed, and multiple modality activities will be used to support all learning styles for all tier level students.
PE Goal
Goal: What are we trying to achieve
Achieve a 70% pass rate for the selected standard by the end of the quarter.
There are currently 17% of 5th grade students in Mr. Keller's meeting the district standard. By January 30th, 2026, 70% of students will demonstrate improvement in their cardiovascular endurance by increasing their mid-term mile run test. Students will be tracked against individualized baseline data collected at the end of September. Each student's goal will be to decrease their mile time according to the Tacoma District K-12 Fitness Testing Ranges. Students will engage in engage in structured cardiovascular endurance activities during PE class, such as interval training, aerobic games, and pacing exercises, focused on increasing their cardiovascular endurance. This goal aligns with the district and national physical educational standards focused on developing aerobic fitness and goal setting. This goal will be realistically achieved by the end of May during the school year, but progress checks will be maintained quarterly and at the mid-year mark. I will accomplish this by establishing an inclusive and equitable PE culture that adheres to grade-level standards. This includes providing a safe space for learning and trying new things and maximizing participation time for students.

During whole group instruction, students will incorporate flexibility, muscular strength and endurance, and cardiorespiratory fitness to build a continuous warm up program. Students will be able to regulate their energy and pacing to increase cardiorespiratory endurance. Students will participate in aerobic games in class that will require sustained movement. In addition, students will actively practice increased continuous running in class and extracurricular programs, such as cross-country running team, competing with other schools, voluntarily participating in the school's recess running club, where students will earn rewards and have the opportunity to have peer support by walking, jogging, and/or running together in smaller groups, and other recess programs that help develop and increase student cardio fitness, such as flag football, basketball, volleyball, hockey, and soccer, building an encouraging, supportive, and inclusive fitness culture. All Students will receive and learn running strategies to improve running skills by using multiple resources from professionals and collaborating with peers. Each student will set personal cardio fitness goals based on pretest scores and be invited to reflect on personal progress through the mid-term and year. Finally, students will receive parental and community support for participating in extracurricular activities.

During our small group warmups, I will be able to reteach, encourage, give feedback to students to increase their understanding of their fitness intensity and techniques while building the cardiovascular and muscular endurance. In addition, I will be able to check on students' social emotional state by addressing any anxieties and/or frustrations during warmups, activities, and reflective exit times.
SUPPORTING STUDENTS AT TIER III ON THESE STANDARDS
I will create a supportive and non-judgmental environment where student's will feel safe to express their concerns about fitness activities by using team-building techniques to foster positivity, a growth mindset, and relationships that allow peer instruction and learning, regardless of student abilities and disabilities.
School Climate & Support Goals
Behavior Goal
Goal: What are we trying to achieve
Ensure 95% of students have behaviors NOT resulting in suspension or expulsion.
By implementing targeted interventions-such as Check-In/Check-Out, behavior contracts, social-emotional groups, and the use of peace corners-we aim for 95% of students to avoid exclusionary discipline (suspension or expulsion), as measured by Synergy discipline data and behavior screener results. To support students with emotional and behavioral needs, we will implement small friendship groups and incorporate mindfulness brain breaks within each classroom. These strategies are expected to reduce suspension rates among students identified as At Risk, based on Synergy data and the spring behavior screener. Universal Screener data from the fall and spring will be used to monitor and measure individual student growth over time.
Root Cause Analysis:
Equity is being addressed in the classroom by teachers using culturally responsive teaching strategies such as; AB partner discussion, share out, differentiated intervention based on data, visual supports; such as word wall CCD charts, and individual goal setting with teacher feedback. To close the achievement gap teachers are analyzing data to target specific skills and interventions in small groups, during small group time teachers will emphasize de-escalation and SEL curriculum strategies.
STEPS: How we will accomplish this goal
ACTION STEP INTRODUCTION
Our goal is to create a positive, inclusive school environment that supports the social-emotional and behavioral needs of all students. Through consistent implementation of evidence-based strategies and targeted interventions, we aim to help students build self-regulation skills, reduce office discipline referrals, and decrease suspension rates. By fostering a safe and supportive school culture, we will ensure that all students have the tools and resources they need to be successful both a
