Literacy is more than the ability to read, but how an individual uses written information to function in life.

However, we also have one of the largest Hispanic populations in the district with 29%. Desert View is 56% male and 44% female. About half of the student population comes from low-income families. We serve 53% of the student’s free or reduced meals. There are 14% of students that attend Desert View that are on an IEP and 15% that are ELL. For years now Desert View has been a school within our district that is a choice school. There is a current achievement gap among Desert View and the rest of the school district. The decision of making this school a choice school was made because of the consistently low PAWS test scores. PAWS is our standardized test that students are required to take. Students in grades 3-8 take the test in reading and math each year. Fourth and eighth grades also take the science test. The 2014 scores show declines from last year especially in science and among students who reached the proficient and advanced levels.

...take in and not everybody has the correct work ethic and strategies to handle the hard work necessary to handle all of the work and achieve a degree. Having a strategy is essential to a student’s overall success in college. Without having the right strategies in place, the workload a student receives in college will be overwhelming. There are many different strategies a student can use to overcome the stresses of college. Two of the most important strategies are self-management and self-motivation.

Downing defines good self-management as “consistently planning and taking purposeful actions in pursuit of their goals and dreams.” As a college student I try my best to improve my self-managing every day. I have made it a habit to plan out my time as much as possible. Although it may seem impossible at times to find motivation to continue, finding the motivation is vital to the success of a student. Self-motivation is also a necessary asset. Students must be motivated to get their degree and pursue their...
