1. Review Learning Target 2. Review success criteria - give examples Strategies may include: • - Practice steady beat as a class with a recording. (ex.· - One student at a time demonstrates steady beat using body percussion for four measures while class sings along. - Students will move around room matching the steady beat the teacher is playing on the drum. - Students may play beat on a percussion instrument.
SUPPORTING STUDENTS AT TIER II ON THESE STANDARDS
Tier two instruction to be used to impact the learning goal of steady beat are individualized games that provide opportunities for students to show individual growth with the goal, and songs demonstrate the beat that directly tie to the goal that can be sung anywhere, not just in the music classroom. I know these strategies were effective because students were observed showing the skill, assessment scores from individualized games, and observable assessments from class time. - Observable formative and summative assessments from class time.

Tier three strategies will be provided for all students as extra support by the music teacher. Due to time constraints and focus on improving reading, writing and math scores, there is no additional time to meet individually with students outside of their already scheduled music instruction time. All students are given class time with a specialist with extensive knowledge in music and all are monitored for individual growth based off of their starting base of zero. Strategies will be repeated often as needed, and multiple modality activities will be used to support all learning styles for all tier level students.
PE Goal
Goal: What are we trying to achieve
Achieve a 60% pass rate for the selected standard by the end of the quarter.
Smartie Goal for Grade K involves students learning how to complete one or more underhand throw. They are currently 40% of students in Grade K who are not able to complete an underhand throw. By the end of December 60% of Grade K students will complete 1 or more underhand throws when asked. The following Underhand descriptors such as Body Position, Eye Movement, Object Manipulation and Control will embed in the PE lessons to support student meeting PE standard 3. According to PE-3 Standard students will demonstrate the knowledge and skills to achieve and maintain a healthy-enhancing level of physical activity and fitness. Body Position • Pivot on dominant foot stepping in the direction of the target • The hips rotate toward the target during the throw • The body and arm continue to move toward the target after the object is released, creating a follow through. Eye Movement • The head faces the target throughout the throw· Eyes are focused on the target Object manipulation • Object is gripped with fingers • As the body transfers weight from dominant to non-dominant foot, the throwing elbow is flexed with object near the ear • The elbow of the throwing arm is elevated and leads the throw• As torso rotates the arm is extended and the object is released toward the target Control • The object is released as the throwing arm fully extends in the direction of the target • The rotation of the body at the hips and the speed of the throwing arm increases object speed.

Restorative Practices: We will adopt restorative practices to build stronger relationships between students and staff while fostering a sense of community and accountability. This approach emphasizes conflict resolution, open communication, and opportunities for students to repair harm when behavioral issues arise. Our goal is to shift from punitive measures to solutions that promote understanding, growth, and responsibility.
Staff Goal
Goal: What are we trying to achieve
Support staff SEL (social awareness or relationship skills), resulting in at least 85% positive rating on the selected Climate Survey item.
By June 2026, Lyon Elementary will increase the positive staff response rate on the question "How well does your team solve problems and resolve conflict?" from 65% to 85%, as measured by the CEE Staff Data Toolkit, through targeted professional development and enhanced communication strategies.
STEPS: How we will accomplish this goal
PROMOTING SEL FOR STUDENT IMPACT
Open Communication and Trust: Establishing open lines of communication, where staff felt safe to express concerns and offer suggestions, built trust among team members. This trust allowed for honest discussions and more effective problem-solving. What is an area of growth related to your focus area? What leadership changes will you make based on the results of your data? An area of growth in the team's ability to solve problems and resolve conflict is improving communication during challenging situations. While teams generally collaborate well, there is room to strengthen communication strategies, particularly in high-pressure or conflict-laden discussions. Some staff may need additional support in navigating difficult conversations or resolving disagreements constructively.
Student Goal
Goal: What are we trying to achieve
Implement Whole Child practices with fidelity, resulting in at least a 95% positive rating on the selected Climate Survey item.
Lyon will increase the percentage of students who report low to moderate level of emotional behavior concerns from 90. 7% to 95% by the end of the 2026 school year, as indicated on the most recent universal screener.
