Program Evaluation Tool-Entered into Assist

Provide a detailed description of the strategy/ program/ initiative being evaluated.

The Fountas & Pinnell Leveled Literacy Intervention System (LLI) is a small-group,
supplementary literacy intervention designed to provide powerful, daily, small-group instruction
for the lowest achieving students in need of intensive support to achieve grade-level competency
in reading and writing. Through systematically designed lessons and original, engaging leveled
books, LLI supports learning, helps students expand their knowledge of language and words and
how they work. The K-5 students that have been identified for Tier II supplemental intervention
based on multiple metrics (DRA, M-STEP, NWEA, etc.) are eligible for the LLI program.
The number of students that are receiving LLI are as follows:
Grade 1- 22 students
Grade 2- 32 students
Grade 3- 23 students
Grade 4- 27 students
Grade 5- 15 students
Total of 131 students have received LLI instruction. The Intervention Team (Elementary
Instructional Specialist (EIS) and Highly Qualified para-educators) provide the LLI Tier II
supplemental instruction during What I Need (WIN) time, four times each week for 30-45
minutes, depending on the grade level. The support began September 14, 2015 and will be
completed when the student reaches grade level expectations (it is possible for a student to exit
during the school year). Reading Records, DRAs, DRA Progress Monitoring, Fountas and
Pinnell Benchmark Assessments and NWEA have been used to measure growth
What does the evidence show regarding structures being in place to collect and review
implementation data?
The structure of Tier II Intervention (BIT meetings, WIN time, weekly/monthly common
planning/professional learning, data analysis, collaboration, etc.) provides the opportunity collect
and review progress monitoring data and determine the effectiveness of the LLI program. Each
year, beginning and end of the year data is compared and analyzed to determine the growth of
each student, the building and district and is shared at the building and district level.
87% of Heritage Elementary LLI students K-5 have increased their RIT scores on the NWEA
from fall to spring.
K= 67% of students using LLI increased RIT scores from fall to spring as measured on the
NWEA Grade 1= 100% of students using LLI increased RIT scores from fall to spring as
measured on the NWEA
Grade 2= 81% of students using LLI increased RIT scores from fall to spring as measured on the
NWEA
Grade 3= 90% of students using LLI increased RIT scores from fall to spring as measured on the
NWEA
Grade 4= 74% of students using LLI increased RIT scores from fall to spring as measured on the
NWEA
Grade 5= 100% of students using LLI increased RIT scores from fall to spring as measured on

Our district goal was to have 90% of our students increase their personal RIT score from fall to
spring as shown on the NWEA/MAP testing. Our measurable objective: A 3 % increase of
students in identified subgroups (i.e. lowest 30%, Economically Disadvantaged, Limited English
Proficient and Students with Disabilities) will demonstrate proficiency on state standards in
Reading by June 15, 2016 as measured by multiple metrics. 85% of students of students will
demonstrate a proficiency in Reading by June 30, 2022. This year, in reading, 83% of our
Heritage students increased their personal RIT score from fall to spring as shown on the
NWEA/MAP testing. This year, in reading, 87% of our Heritage LLI students increased their
personal RIT score from fall to spring as shown on the NWEA/MAP testing. The impact LLI had
on our students' achievement is as follows:
Kindergarten-- 90% of Heritage students increased their personal RIT score from fall to spring as
shown on the NWEA/MAP testing. 67% of Heritage LLI students increased their personal RIT
score from fall to spring as shown on the NWEA/MAP testing.
Grade 1-- 95% of Heritage students increased their personal RIT score from fall to spring as
shown on the NWEA/MAP testing. 100% of Heritage LLI students increased their personal RIT
score from fall to spring as shown on the NWEA/MAP testing. Grade 2-- 87% of Heritage
students increased their personal RIT score from fall to spring as shown on the NWEA/MAP
testing. 81% of Heritage LLI students increased their personal RIT score from fall to spring as
shown on the NWEA/MAP testing. Grade 3-- 85% of Heritage students increased their personal
RIT score from fall to spring as shown on the NWEA/MAP testing. 90% of Heritage LLI
students increased their personal RIT score from fall to spring as shown on the NWEA/MAP
testing. Grade 4-- 74% of Heritage students increased their personal RIT score from fall to spring
as shown on the NWEA/MAP testing. 74% of Heritage LLI students increased their personal
RIT score from fall to spring as shown on the NWEA/MAP testing. Grade 5-- 70% of Heritage
students increased their personal RIT score from fall to spring as shown on the NWEA/MAP
testing. 100% of Heritage LLI students increased their personal RIT score from fall to spring as
shown on the NWEA/MAP testing. Although the LLI program had an impact on student
achievement, each grade level reported growth, there is still an achievement gap for our targeted
students. We continue to strive for all students to meet grade level expectations.
