District Vision
Kellogg’s Mission & VisionOur Mission:
All will develop skills needed to become resourceful, productive learners through a strong commitment and partnership between schools and parents. Our students’ academic performance will be enhanced through our rigorous instructional program and educational opportunities, which will result in increasing the number of students meeting and exceeding the Common Core Standards.
Our Vision:
At Kellogg School, we are preparing all children to be successful leaders and learners with a solid foundation of skills and knowledge. We want to create an equitable, inclusive, collaborative and safe learning environment that is built on strong family and community partnerships, where all children will thrive. We believe that a diversified education is critical in laying a solid foundation for international mindedness and life-long learning.
Kellogg Continuous Improvement Work Plan (CIWP)
2018-2020Curriculum: “What we teach”
If we ...develop K-8 vertical alignment through scope and sequence to increase collaboration between grade bands and identify skill gaps...then we see...focused and collaborative efforts by teachers across grade bands/subjects during teacher team meetings, flex day meetings, and professional development days to eliminate skill gaps and create cohesion...which leads to...an increase in growth on the EOY NWEA Reading and Math.
Instruction: “How we teach”
If we ...engage students in learning and foster student ownership through personalized instruction to meet the needs of all students...then we see...an increase in student led and student focused instruction through small group instruction, centers, conferencing, project based instruction, student self assessment...which leads to...increase in growth & attainment in Reading and Math on the EOY NWEA, the increase in Supportive Environment on the 5 Essential Survey, and positive feedback school created student surveys.
Multi-Tiered Systems of Support
If we ...provide universal Tier I, II, III structures for K-8 students using 5 week data cycles to ensure that all students are receiving the necessary supports based on skill level and need...then we...see students receiving targeted interventions based on academic, SEL, attendance, and behavior needs...which leads to...a decrease in discipline referrals, increase in on-track, NWEA EOY attainment and growth in Reading and Math, increase in Supportive Environment on the 5 Essentials.
Parent Engagement
If we...develop partnerships with parents, communicate effectively with parents, and seek input from parents on school policies, practices, and investments...then we see...an increase in parent engagement, relationships, and partnership...which leads to...a stronger school and parent community at Kellogg as measured by the 5 Essential Survey, My Choice, My Voice Survey, and parent turnout at events/volunteering.
