NBISD Curriculum specialists work with teachers directly to ensure resources and materials are readily available to address the differentiated needs of our students.  Training and professional development is provided during the summer by district personnel, and staff attends campus professional development throughout the year to meet individual professional growth needs.  Campus intervention teachers also serve as instructional coaches, providing "just in time" professional development to support teachers' implementation of the curriculum in the classroom.

Students at County Line Elementary are assessed using the following instruments. Teams meet together to discuss trends as well as individual student needs, and plans are developed to address those needs:

• STAAR (Grades 3-5)
• NWEA MAP
• Content Specific District Level Assessments ESGI
• Math Fluency Probes (Grades 1-5) Attendance (as reported in PEIMS) TELPAS (Students identified as ELs) mClass
• HMH Growth Measure
• Pre- and Post-Unit Assessments
• Running Records

Weekly Response to Intervention (RTI) meetings are also held to allow for the campus leadership team to focus on our At-Risk student population and better develop plans and supports for those students and teachers.  This team is composed of the Principal, Assistant Principal, Counselor, Campus At-risk Intervention Teachers and grade level teachers.  Data derived from teacher developed assessments, reading levels, district assessments, and prior student performances (as well as additional materials) are all taken into account during these meetings.  Tiered intervention plans are developed and implemented followed by regular progress monitoring to ensure all students reach their fullest potential.

Teachers implement iPads through the use of the Learning Management System (LMS).  All students access the LMS on their iPads and are able to submit assignments and complete assessments through these systems.  Through the use of the LMS and supplemental apps, teachers are able to see students' learning in real time and provide timely feedback.  iPads are also used as a vehicle to enhance and extend students' learning.  The ultimate goal of this technology integration is to promote College and Career Readiness through "real world" skills and interactions.
