Hayward Community School District Literacy Plan 2019-2020 Revised for 2020-2021 Revised for 2021-2022 In Wisconsin, disciplinary literacy is defined as the confluence of content knowledge, experiences, and skills merged with the ability to read, write, listen, speak, think critically and perform in a way that is meaningful within the context of a given field. Every child a READER. Every child a WRITER. Every child a THINKER. Every child a GRADUATE. GOAL: 90% of third graders reading at or above grade level within three years. Note: This three year goal ENDS May 2022!!! Steps: Develop a comprehensive literacy action plan to guide ongoing decisions about our instruction, programming, and resource allocation. Create a plan which can be measurable, coherent, concrete, and comprehensible to teachers and administrators. Provide leadership, support, and professional development, so the plan is seen as proactive and what’s best for kids. Questions: How will we modify or adjust our instruction, assessment, and interventions? What type of professional development, staff training, or support do our staff need to make this goal a reality? How can we include families and communities in this plan?
