**Students and
teachers truly
loved this project.
Teachers have
noticed that all
students from the
lower grade levels
have more
confidence while
reading in the
classroom. Of the
students that
were in the
program, 75% of
their DRA and
Easy CBM scores
have improved. In
the future,
unfortunately, I
would need to re-
work the coverage
for this program.
Because I had a
different dismissal
area, it made it
difficult to meet
with the students
every day like I
had originally
planned.

Relationships

-Student Survey
for students of
teachers that
attended the PD.
-Climate Post
Service

**A week before
the in-service, a
survey was sent
out to students
that had teachers
that would be
attending the in-
service. The
survey asked a
variety of
questions about
the climate of
their classrooms.
The survey
indicated that
67% of students in
those specific
classrooms did
not feel that their
teachers
respected them.
The survey also
showed that 55%
of students
thought their
teacher yelled too
much.
Approximately
two weeks after
the in-service,
another survey
was sent out to
students and the
results were
breathtaking.
Now, only 8% of
students felt their
teachers did not
respect them. In
the comments
section, many

students indicated
that they noticed
that their teachers
talked to them
more and
explained their
consequences. I
also had a
conversation with
the teachers, and
they commented
that they feel
their classroom
management has
improved which
consequently has
improved their
instruction.
Lack of knowledge

Writing STAAR
Night
Parent Survey as
an exit slip.

**Parents were
very impressed by
this event. At the
end of the event,
in order for
students to
receive free
homework passes,
their parents had
to complete a
survey. After I
compiled the data
I found that 100%
of the parents
enjoyed the night
and thought it
helped them to
understand the
relevance of
Writing STAAR.
Parents also
commented that
they liked that the
activities were
interactive and
allowed for them
to be involved

with their child.
Although our
campus has a
STAAR night for
math and reading,
my survey showed
that parents
wished there was
a STAAR night for
all the subjects. I
think this should
be indication that
other STAAR
nights on campus
may not be
communicated
well.
