| How is our school doing overall? |
| Accountability and assistance levels |
| Our school |
| Not meeting gap narrowing goals |
| Our district |
| One or more schools in the district classified into Level 2 |
Most schools are assigned a level from 1-5, with those meeting their proficiency gap-narrowing goals in Level 1 and the lowest performing in Levels 4 and 5.
A district is typically assigned a level based on the level of its lowest performing school. Placing schools and districts into levels helps districts know which schools need more support,
and helps the state know which districts need the most assistance.

| What else should you know about our school? |
| Over the course of the past several years, we have worked hard at the Horace Mann Elementary School to implement several programs aimed at improving learning outcomes for all students. For example, we are in our 4th year of implementation of our literacy model that utilizes interventions like Reading Recovery and LLI. This year we are the first year of implementation of the new Investigations Math program. This rollout will continue for multiple grade levels over the next two years, and will enhance our ability to deliver mathematics instruction. Also, we have also been working to establish greater consistency in our approach to setting behavior expectations through Responsive Classroom, while using our behavioral interventionist to run small group and individual supports that focus on relationship building and leadership opportunities for students. Most importantly, we have embarked on an effort to increase student and family connectedness to school by looking carefully at the various perspectives that our students and families bring to us each day. As a staff, we are doing professional development work on racial identity development among four domains, as described by James Banks in Multicultural Education: Content Integration and Knowledge Construction, Equity Pedagogy, Bias and Prejudice Reduction, and Empowering School Culture. As part of this effort, our hope is to help families and students to connect to our school in a way that enables all of our students to achieve at a high level. Feel free to contact us with questions regarding any of our initiatives. |
