BUTTE FALLS SD 91
We are currently involved in activities to improve the academics and the culture of our school district. A large portion of our professional development is a result of being part of the Oregon Response to Intervention (OrRTI) grant. This program’s main focus is to improve core instruction in the classroom by improving teaching methods of the 5 “big ideas” in grades kindergarten through five. The five big ideas are phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary and comprehension. The implementation process will be three years with teacher support continuing on after that. Our school uses AimsWeb as our in school screening, progress monitoring and diagnostic tool. The data from AimsWeb and other sources such as state testing and in-class assessments are used to create the best learning path for the student. Another whole school program we are involved in is being a Stewardship School as part of Oregon Natural Resource Education Program (ONREP) sponsored by Oregon State University. This program provides our school with natural resource curriculum for our teacher to use in the classroom. One part of the rationale for implementing this program is that the location of our school is in the middle of the forest, near mountains, rivers, and other ecological areas. Our school has acquired the shuttered Butte Falls fish hatchery and intends to transform it into a natural resource learning center for students from all schools. Another reason we have implemented the natural resource curriculum in our schools is for the students. This curriculum offers real world, hands-on projects that are relevant to the student. We will have long term and short to projects that allow students to apply to apply their learning to real life activities. We are proud of the many things we are doing to improve teaching and learning in Butte Falls. We have worked hard and will continue to work hard for the betterment of our students.
