Goal

I will increase our reading scores by creating a spectacular reading village with exciting air forts to encourage and celebrate literacy. As part of the Safety Harbor Elementary School Improvement Plan for the 23-24 school year, our goal is to increase ELA proficiency in grades 3-5 by 10% on the FAST testing by utilizing instructional practices to motivate and deepen engagement through student experiences.

What will be done with my students

Students will read their library books in the air forts once a week. This will be done during their scheduled time in the library to allow all students to access the reading air forts.

Benefits to my students

Our goal is to provide our students with a unique reading experience to incentivize reading logs, Myon books, and even an inviting space for our cross grade-level peer tutoring program. Many of our students from our ESSA subgroups would benefit from having more opportunities within the school day to practice reading and this would be a fun and inviting way to engage with all students.

Describe the Students

At Safety Harbor Elementary, we have a wide variety of learners. We have 9.7% English Language Learners, 15% ESE, and 2.35% of students with a 504-plan. Safety Harbor Elementary is unique in that we are above the district average for students with disabilities due to our ASD and Pre-k units. We had 59% proficiency for our 3-5 FAST testing, and our goal is to achieve 69% this school year.
