Annual School Improvement Plan Continuous Improvement Goal: Focus on classroom instruction by: (1) Planning & implementing research-based strategies; (2) Working in collaborative planning teams to leverage the “collective IQ” of our faculty; and, (3) Analyzing disaggregated data from multiple assessments of student learning to continuously improve instruction and move each student’s learning to a higher level.
SMART Goals: (1) Increase Student Growth Percentiles (SGPs) for grade level cohort groups in each core subject area --- Reading, Language Arts, Math, Science & Social Studies. (2) Increase subgroup populations’ --- Students with Disabilities, English Language Learners & Economically Disadvantaged Students --- Student Growth Percentiles (SGPs) in Science & Social Studies. (3) Increase the percentage of students that exceed the standards on the CRCT at all three grade levels (6th, 7th & 8th) in all core subjects --- Reading, Language Arts, Math, Science & Social Studies --- and on the Physical Science and Accelerated Math EOCT.
