 West Virginia Academic Remediation Plan
Research Websites
(1) Locate and retrieve the 2024-2025 school-level proficiency data from the official West Virginia Department of Education (WVDE) sources, specifically the West Virginia Balanced Scorecard and the ZoomWV Data Dashboard.
(2) Analyze the retrieved data to generate a comprehensive list of all West Virginia public schools with English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency scores below 48% and/or Math proficiency scores below 38%.
(3) For each school identified, conduct a deeper analysis by disaggregating the performance data by student subgroups (low-income, students with disabilities, English learners, racial/ethnic groups) to identify equity gaps.
(4) Augment the analysis by investigating school-level data on chronic absenteeism rates, teacher certification levels, and teacher vacancy rates to perform a root cause analysis for low performance.
(5) Based on the combined analysis of proficiency gaps and root causes, identify and list the 10 elementary, 10 middle, and 5 high schools with the most significant needs, designating them for the pilot remediation program.
(6) Research the evidence-base, implementation frameworks, and resource requirements for the specific programs cited for the MTSS model, including WVDE's "math4life" and "Ready. Read. Write. West Virginia," as well as intervention tools like Achieve3000, Read 180, Wilson Reading System, 95 Literacy Intervention System, and math strategies like CRA and Schema-Based Instruction.
(7) Investigate logistical and staffing models for program implementation in West Virginia, including the roles of instructional coaches, paraprofessionals, and partnership programs such as AmeriCorps and "Communities in Schools," and find case studies for scheduling models like "WIN" (What I Need) blocks.
(8) Synthesize all data, analysis, and research into a single, comprehensive proposal titled the "Mountain State Scholars Support Initiative," structured to match the user's request, detailing the data-driven school selection, the three-tiered MTSS program, and the implementation plan with its specific primary and secondary KPIs.
