RELEVANT SCHOOL PROFILE DATA William Ramsay is an elementary school on the western border of Alexandria at the end of the Beauregard Corridor. Our community is culturally diverse and is largely an immigrant population. Our school zone encompasses mostly apartment housing with some single family home properties near the border with Fairfax County. Many of our families are challenged by poverty and the high cost of living in our area. As of September 15, 2021, there are 597 students enrolled at WRES. WRES serves a diverse population of students who speak close to 30 languages and represent about 30 countries. Sixty-one percent of students speak English as an additional language. The top five home languages, excluding English, include: Spanish, Amharic, Arabic, Bengali and Urdu. Students at WRES come from all over the world, but the majority

ACTION PLAN 1. Essential Action/Research-Based Strategy: Implement Really Great Reading phonics program Evidence Driving This Essential Action: As teachers, we struggle to implement consistent, daily phonemic awareness, phonics and word study instruction with purposeful differentiation. Plan to Assess Progress: ● Short Term--Teachers learn and implement explicit phonemic awareness, phonics and word study instruction as measured by 90% accuracy on a fidelity checklist. ● Mid-Year--Teachers will observe colleagues and reflect on teaching practices as measured by 90% participation in at least 2 observations. Revised mid-year goal: Teachers learn and implement explicit phonemic awareness and phonics lessons into small groups as measured by look for data. ● Long Term--100% of teachers will differentiate their instruction by grouping students into homogenous ability groups as measured by the data sheet.

Revised SMART Goal: By May 2022, students will develop self-awareness and self-management skills to achieve school and life success by participating in daily social and emotional lessons during the SEAL block. Students will also express that they feel supported socially, emotionally, and academically as measured by the fall and spring administration of the WRES Student Climate Survey.
ACTION PLAN 1. Essential Action/Research-Based Strategy: Build student social-emotional vocabulary; Start the day with a check-in; Help students manage feelings and emotions Evidence Driving This Essential Action: As staff, we noticed that on the Student Climate Survey only 59% of students in grades 2-5 responded “most of the time” to questions on student surveys.
