P.S. 28Q Data and Goals

Priority Focus 2026-2027

By June 2027, P.S. 28Q will fully implement a school-wide Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) that integrates both in-class Tier 2 and Tier 3 supports and strategic out-of-classroom RTI interventions. Teachers will design coherent, differentiated instruction aligned to student needs especially for our 63% ELL population using formative assessments, data-driven grouping, and progress monitoring.

Progress will be measured by: A 10% increase in K–2 students meeting or exceeding grade-level benchmarks in literacy and math. Evidence of tiered instruction in lesson plans and classroom observations. MTSS data logs showing targeted interventions and student growth.

Instructional Learning Focus 2026-2027

English

Students will continue to engage in learning that incorporates positive, clear, and specific feedback from teachers, families, and peers to support growth across all content areas. Teachers will participate in purposeful professional learning, including unit internalization and collaborative planning, to deepen their understanding of grade-level standards, align instruction to rigorous learning goals, and anticipate student needs. Through ongoing professional development, teachers will strengthen their ability to create welcoming and affirming classroom environments that center and uplift students’ cultures and lived experiences, ensuring instruction is responsive, rigorous, and relevant for all learners.
