“Good morning Jefferson Elementary School, ‘nyaw zhong', 'As-Salaam-Alaikum', ‘buenos dias.’ At Jefferson Elementary School, we will be safe, respectful and responsible. Now please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance.” In this culturally diverse school, each day starts welcoming all students with a message to do their best. As staff, doing our best is a promise we make to our students every day.
The Jefferson staff is dedicated to helping students achieve—no matter what their background. Learn more about some of the factors that contribute to our success.
At Jefferson, we believe that RtI is something you DO, not something you BUY. Maintaining and furthering tier 1 universal implementation is the primary mission of our data coach. Our selected and intensive teachers deliver research-based interventions and use well-run procedures. Working together, they assist students who are in the most need of additional skills, guidance, and help. |
Solid communication and collaboration are essential to ensure all educators are clear on agreed-upon instructional practices, objectives, and expectations. This also allows us to monitor student struggles and progress.
To facilitate this communication, our tier 1 data coach meets weekly with the teachers and interventionists to discuss universal practices. In addition, each grade level meets with their interventionist each month. Our core Data Analysis Team (DAT) meets weekly to monitor progress of tier 2 and tier 3 supported students, as well as address building-wide academic issues. To keep parents informed and involved, each interventionist reaches out monthly to both the classroom teacher and parents using Google apps or old-fashioned pen and paper.
Successful implementation of an RtI system is made easier when parents and the community are involved. We have made a conscious effort to purposefully engage families with their children’s education.
Two successful events have helped us build goodwill and community: Family Literacy Event and a Math Game Day.
After overwhelming attendance and positive feedback for our first event, we decided to host another academic family event featuring low-cost games that enable parents to practice math with children—while having fun.

Assessment is used to monitor student progress. In the classrooms, teachers provide a variety of experiences that will help students practice the skills necessary to help them learn and apply their knowledge in order to demonstrate their understanding.
There are a variety of assessments that are used in the district in order to monitor the progress of individual students, track student growth, and evaluate the success of the school and district. Some of these assessments are required by the state, others are part of district efforts to monitor and evaluate progress.
In all cases, assessment results are used by teachers, schools and the district as part of an established protocol of continuous improvement. Individual student needs are recognized and evaluated. Student growth is compared to expected growth and districtwide growth is measured to evaluate successes and plan for the future.
