How Will We Do It? BRMS
Analyze the unified school improvement plan & make changes identified
Use math and language arts labs for extra help Create detailed individual student learning plans –
longitudinal study of NJASK performance Provide after-school tutorial program Increase of BSI Staff to support more students in need Use of the Parent Compact to heighten parent awareness and
commitment Targeted Professional Development for Staff – Rutgers
Institute for Improving Student Achievement, Literacy Consortium, etc.
Use of Study Island to provide targeted practice of skills – school-wide
