I was not able to copy my plan in the correct format. This is the most readable version I managed to accomplish. I hope this makes sense. Please see my previous post for a description of the plan.

First Grade Teachers/Renee Cook/Jen Martin
Sept. 2010-

TPRI, Rigby, Dolch, LLI reading level throughout year/PLC meetings to discuss findings.
Teachers and administrators will view TPRI, Rigby, Dolch, and LLI results to assess whether reading improvement was made with LLI and whether it should be continued.
5.Look for growth in other areas such as other academic subjects, behavior, or social skills, or confidence to see if reading improvement may have led to other improvements.
