Bullitt Central High School

Long-Range Literacy Plan – 2010-2011

School Name: Bullitt Central	Component: Literacy		Manager: School Literacy Team
Goals: Literacy understanding and implementation among the faculty is demonstrated through embedded rigorous literacy instruction across the curriculum.	Statement of Need: · Observations, surveys, and walkthroughs indicate a lack of instructional rigor. · Limited evidence of incorporating literacy instruction in PLC units. · According to CTL’s Adolescent Literacy Performance Guide, school wide implementation of literacy strategies across the curriculum falls within the developing range. · According to the 2009-2010 Literacy Lingo walkthrough data, teachers were showing improvement of the read, write, speak, listen components, but consistent strategy use was lacking.
Objectives (measurable): · Teachers will incorporate reading, writing, speaking, and listening into their instructional practices. PERKS 3.3 · Curriculum is aligned with core content and program of studies and is implemented. PERKS 1.1 · Teachers actively engage students in the five strands of reading, writing, speaking/listening/observing, inquiry, and technology-as-communication in order to build a wide range of literacy experiences for a variety of authentic purposes and audiences by using the literacy strategies and other strategies specific to their content. PERKS 1.4 · Teachers analyze students’ performance, provide timely feedback, and adjust instruction accordingly. PERK 3.7
Evidence of Success (for each objective): · 100% of teachers will participate in Summer Literacy Training as evidenced by sign in sheets. · 100% of teachers (across core content) will demonstrate the incorporation of effective literacy strategies as evidenced by PLC units plans, observations, literacy team and administrative walkthroughs, student work analysis, and/or PGP’s. · 100% of teachers will analyze students’ performance (Maps data and common assessments), provide feedback and adjust instruction as evidenced by student assessment, PLC unit plans, walkthroughs, and observations. · 100% of PLC units will include literacy in lesson plans (examples include, handouts, forms, and/or question at the end of each unit regarding literacy strategy used and implemented.)
Strategies (link to objectives and SISI): All teachers will attend the summer training Literacy Team members will serve as resources for new/struggling teachers on various content strategies Walkthroughs will be conducted using the protocol instrument to determine the integration of effective literacy strategies. Literacy Leadership Team Meetings will be refined to discuss strategy implementation in PLC units, and sustaining literacy across the curriculum. All Teachers will include literacy strategies in their PGP. Use of Literacy strategies will be incorporated in observation/evaluation instruments.
