Stansbury Elementary
Land Trust Plan
Summary Report
2013-2014
The mission and goals of the Stansbury Elementary Learning Community are to provide a positive, enriched and safe learning environment for all students, promote academic achievement for all students and promote a dynamic learning connection between school and home. We know that the capacity to achieve these goals requires focused, high quality instruction delivered by highly qualified staff, targeted instruction based on data acquired through common assessments, and consistent, clear communication between all members of our learning community. We celebrate the diversity of our learning community and are committed to continually refining and strengthening instructional practices to assure that every child will be successful.
Land Trust funds were allocated during the 2013-2014 school year to support the mission and goals of Stansbury Elementary in the following ways:
- We provided opportunities for teachers to work collaboratively to explore achievement data and design meaningful, targeted instruction for all students.
- We purchased technology equipment/programs designed to provide students with needs focused activities.
- We purchased books for our library to continue to build this valuable learning resource.
The activities and expenditures of the Land Trust Plan were planned to work in concert with the other programs and practices at Stansbury with the goal of improved achievement.
Goal 1: Increase the percent of children who were at benchmark level in reading by 15%. At the end of the year our school achieved an increase of 19%
Goal 2: Increase the percent of children who were at benchmark level in math each quarter by 10%. We had an average of a 12% increase each quarter.
Goal 3: Increase the percent of children who were at benchmark level on the Language Arts assessment by 5%. We had an increase of 3.2% for the year. This did not meet our goal and will be a focus of our plans for the 2014-2015 school year.
We are pleased with the efforts of our students and staff.
Together we are learning and growing!
