In accordance with our ELA district goal of "Improving ELA Scores K-12" the Literacy Action Plan outlines the steps we are taking to meet this goal. It includes providing valuable professional development for our teachers on the science of reading as well as how to structure the 90 minute ELA block. We have also shifted our mindset with intervention in order to focus on what our students truly need in terms of literacy instruction. We will also be forming a literacy council to look at what curriculum and instructional tools we have in Cato-Meridian, and if we need something different to meet the ever changing needs of our students.

The Professional Development Plan outlines specific professional development that will be provided for staff in order to help meet all of the district goals. By providing quality professional development for staff, this will help ensure quality learning for all our students.

Within this document, you will find information as to how our staff are providing targeted tier interventions for our students. It outlines the specific tools we are utilizing in Cato-Meridian for progress monitoring as well as what programs we have adopted to assist us with interventions.
