SUPPORTING STUDENTS AT TIER I ON THESE STANDARDS
In order to develop independent beat keeping skills, we will begin with large group work on moving to and playing steady beat. Strategies may include: • Practice steady beat as a class with a recording. (ex. • One student at a time demonstrates steady beat using body percussion for four measures while class sings along. • Students will move around room matching the steady beat the teacher is playing on the drum. • Students may play beat on a percussion instrument.
SUPPORTING STUDENTS AT TIER II ON THESE STANDARDS
In order to create an inclusive environment, listening and movement examples will come from diverse genres and cultures that may more closely represent our student body. These will include individualized games that provided opportunities for students to show individual growth with the goal, and songs that directly tied to the goal that can be sung anywhere, not just in the music classroom.
SUPPORTING STUDENTS AT TIER III ON THESE STANDARDS
To support differences in learning styles, students will be provided with visuals and manipulatives to support their development of steady beat. Strategies will include different modes of learning and varied types of musical excerpts representing different styles/genres/cultures and various complexities and textures in the music to allow for baseline focus. Due to time constraints and focus on improving reading, writing and math scores, there is no additional time to meet individually with students outside of their already scheduled music instruction time. All students are given class time with a specialist with extensive knowledge in music and all are monitored for individual growth based off of their starting base of zero. Strategies will be repeated often as needed, and multiple modality activities will be used to support all learning styles for all tier level students.

School Climate & Support Goals
Behavior Goal
Goal: What are we trying to achieve
Ensure 98% of students have behaviors NOT resulting in suspension or expulsion.
Last year Boze has 2 exclusionary actions, of these 2 actions, one was Black/African American and one was Hispanic. We will continue to maintain at a level of 98% students NOT experiencing exclusionary actions or more. Boze is working to build more social emotional skills though the use of SEL curriculum, community circles, student interviews and restorative practices when conflict arises.
Root Cause Analysis:
We continue to have conversation of Equity questions and focus each month, participate in PD around equity topics including microaggressions and build adult capacity to understand and listen to students as they work through conflict.
STEPS: How we will accomplish this goal
ACTION STEP INTRODUCTION
Boze is working to build more social emotional skills though the use of SEL curriculum, community circles, student interviews and restorative practices when conflict arises. Teaching problem solving skills and "I messages" to build common language when conflict arises so that students have strategies and know how to communicate in appropriate ways.
SUPPORTING STUDENTS AT TIER I ON THESE STANDARDS
Use of Purposeful People curriculum in all classrooms paired with community circles to build a sense of belonging and relationships.
SUPPORTING STUDENTS AT TIER II ON THESE STANDARDS
Develop problem solving skills when conflict occurs to understand different perspectives and respond in a way that lets voices be heard, have empathy and work together to get to a resolution. Increase our use of CICO to support individual students that are in need of SEL skills and support reflection and goal setting.
Staff Goal
