{"A":"Alleghany County Public Schools","B":"Creative Alternative Learning ","C":"To address learning loss, Callaghan Elementary School in Alleghany County has implemented a creative alternative schedule for Title I and remedial instruction. The staff has restructured Title I delivery from a pull-out model to an all-inclusive block-style schedule. In addition, a 50-minute block time is being dedicated daily for remedial instruction to all students in grades K-4. Instruction almost exclusively occurs in strategic small groupings across grade levels during the dedicated block of time. Individual classrooms from K-4 exchange students and occasionally, some students travel to grade-level groups either below or above to receive appropriate instruction. Student groupings are based on data points from multiple sources such as PALs, VKRP and SchoolPace (American Reading Company). All students receive personalized remediation regardless of Title I qualification and participation. The traditional 30 minutes per day, single classroom pull-out model for only students who qualify for Title I instruction has been replaced. The creative alternative schedule for Title I and remedial instructional instruction is considered a work in progress and the staff is making adjustments as it moves forward.","D":"Josh Craft, Principal, jcraft@alleghany.k12.va.us, (540) 965-1810","E":""}
