君诚教师和管理团队一直致力于通过灵活且有深度的沉浸式课程，为学生们提供高质量的教学以及提高学生们的英文素养，其中阅读教学一直是我们的重点，因为这是学生在各类学科中取得成功的关键基础技能。
在上学期末，我们介绍过了在19-20学年我们为此所做的努力。我们使用了新的Wonders系列阅读教材。这本教材内容新颖，依据美国国家核心课程标准编写，并在美国各州广泛使用。我们还通过Reading A-Z平台，针对学生个性化需求及在课堂外继续学习的需求提供了分级英文文学教学。
上学期最大的改变还要数在阅读教室里教学方法的提升了。这里我们增加了平衡读写教学法以及引导阅读教学法。平衡读写教学法可以向学生提供适合他们受教水平的指导，从而满足孩子的个性化需求。老师们会指导学生阅读那些比受教水平稍难的文章，这样的话学生就不会因为太难而感到受挫。向学生提供受教水平的结构化教学提升了他们对文学和信息的理解能力。在下面的视频里，Rainey会为您详细介绍有关“引导阅读”的教学细节。

我们对这些改变都充满信心，因为他们背后都有着诸多研究数据的支持。君诚坚持参考研究结果作为教学决策，并用实际数据说话，追踪及衡量我们的教育计划和实践是否成功有效。通过这种衡量方法，我们可以确定学生是否充分发挥了他们的全部潜能, 帮助有困难的学生提升他们的受教水平，并让学有余力的学生在之后的学习中有更好的发展。
实施以上改变后，数据显示达到进步目标的学生人数显著增加。分析显示，与18-19年数据相比，19-20学年截至学年中的进步达标率增长了近36%。这证明了这些新计划和实践的有效性，同样也离不开教师们的辛勤工作和家长们的全力支持。
正是因为教师团队的不断努力，君诚学校小学部在以往的国内国际比赛中屡获殊荣。在我们为学生们取得的进步感到欣喜的同时，仍不能放过每一个不断进步的机会。我们将继续和我们的学生，教职员工和家长共同前行，让学生们保持持续进步的态势，这是通向卓越教育的关键。未来几周内我们会与各位家长再次分享进一步优化教学方法的计划，敬请关注。

Teachers and administrators are continually working to improve the quality of instruction and educational programs for our students. Our primary focus has been on English Literacy, particularly Reading instruction, as we know this is a foundational skill critical to a child’s success in all academic disciplines. As was introduced to you at the end of last school year, several changes were put into place for the 2019-2020 school year to support this focus. We introduced a new Reading textbook, Wonders(published by McGraw Hill), which is up to date, aligned with Common Core State Standards, and widely used throughout the United States. We implemented Reading A-Z to provide leveled literacy instruction targeted at students’ specifi clearning needs during the school day as well as high quality independent practice at home. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, we have enhanced the quality of Reading instruction inside the classroom. We have shifted to a Balanced Literacy approach with the addition of guided reading instruction. The guided reading approach meets students’ individual needs by providing reading support at their instructional level. Teachers support students in reading material that is slightly above the level they have currently mastered but not too challenging as to cause frustration. Structured instruction at this level ensures students are continually growing in their ability to accurately read and comprehend literature and informational texts.
We were confident in these enhancements as we knew them to be heavily supported by educational research. However, we are committed to data-based decision making and clearly tracking the success and efficacy of our educational programs and instructional practices. We measure success in terms of the percentage of students who meet their goals for growth.This makes conditions fair for all as the focus is on a standardized, anticipated growth rate from the starting point to ending point of a given time period. This is the most effective way of determining if all students are meeting their full potential, including raising achievement levels for struggling students and continuing to support the further development of very high performing students.
We are pleased to share that we have seen are markable increase in students meeting growth targets following the implementation of these initiatives. Based on the analysis of students’ Reading performance from the beginning to the middle of the 2019-2020 school year, we have seen a 36% increase in the percentage of students meeting or exceeding their goals for growth as compared to the 2018-2019 school year results. This is a testament to the efficacy of these new programs and practices, the hardwork of the teachers, and all your essential support at home. Thank you for sharing in our celebration of this achievement!
While we are thrilled with the seimprovements, we are mindful of our great opportunity for continued progress. We firmly believe this is only the beginning and are very excited to continue the journey with our school community, including students, faculty, and parents, for continued growth and success. With this goal in mind, we are currently finalizing plans for further enhancements to educational programs and instructional practices. We are excited to share those upon finalization, which we expect in the coming weeks.
Take care and stay well,
SIBS ES Team
