							   2008-09 QEIA Class Size Reduction Summary Report Instructions Grade K-6
Step One:
Check the box that describes the school’s 2008-09 CSR Implementation Plan. Include specific grade level
and / or content area information if applicable. Interim targets for 2008-09 and 2009-10 are based on
making progress toward the CSR target for 2010-11. Schools are allowed some flexibility in defining how
the one-third and two-third requirements are met. Some examples of how CSR interim targets can be met
for the 2008-09 school year are:
      
                                                                                                                   1
            Reducing all core classes/self-contained settings by one-third of the required reduction each year ( /3 target).
           Reducing the class size in core classes/self-contained settings of one-third of the school’s grade levels to the full
            2010-2011 target class size.
           Reducing the class size of one-third of all core classes/self-contained settings to the full 2010-2011 full target class
            size each year.
            *Core Subjects include English Language Arts/English Language Development, Math, History/Social Studies,
            Science, and intervention courses that support the core subjects.

Step Two:
Enter the grade level class size reduction targets for 2008-09 based on the Implementation Plan described
in Step One. If the school was fully implementing K-3 CSR during the base year (05-06 or 06-07) used to
calculate CSR targets, the targets remain at 20.4 for all grades, K-3. If the school was partially implementing
K-3 CSR, enter the 2008-09 target described in the Step One for the grade level(s) added during the 2008-09
year.

Enrollment for those classes identified in Step One.
Enter the TOTAL number of self-contained, and/or core classes/sections at each grade level.
Step Three:
Based on the classes described in Step One, enter the Average Daily Enrollment for each grade level.
For K-3 classes, enter the ADE for each grade level from the first day of instruction through April 15, 2009.
(Method A)
For 4-6 classes, enter the ADE for each grade level in either the Method A or Method B column depending
