Sharing/Initiative: Spirit Call
As a proud member of the Roberto Clemente School TEAM, I enjoy the adventure of
learning.
I have wonderful ideas which I am not afraid to share.
I take responsibility for my learning, work hard, and respect the rights of others to learn
in a safe environment.
I care about those on my team.
I expect excellence from myself daily and learn from my mistakes.
I understand that my team is stronger because each member has different strengths.
I respect the world I live in, and take pride in my community.
Every day I reflect on the choices I have made. I am not just a spectator. I am a
member of the team.

● SIG VI Goals
● Group 1: ELA
● Group 2: Math
● Group 3: Culture/Community
GOAL: Students will improve their overall literacy skills through high quality first
teaching
OBJECTIVE 1.1: Students will use authentic real world texts as a source of knowledge to explore
big ideas and grapple with essential questions as demonstrated by levels of proficiency of student work
aligned to CCLS
OBJECTIVE 1.2: Students will support opinions and ideas with information gained from a variety
of sources as demonstrated by informational and persuasive argument writing pieces, that are written
for an authentic audience.
OBJECTIVE 1.3: Students will demonstrate increasing independence while reading challenging
texts as demonstrated by improved lexile levels that increase complexity as students progress.
GOAL: Students will improve their overall literacy skills through high quality first teaching.
OBJECTIVE 1.4: Students will participate in the creating of high-quality products for authentic
audiences via EL Expeditions and community-based service learning criteria, as evidenced by
demonstration/explanation of the product during the school’s Expedition Night
Progress monitoring for overall literacy skills will be assessed via student performance on the
NWEA assessments (3 times per year) and common writing prompts (4 times per year). Successful
implementation of this goal as defined by the EL WORK PLAN targets, will involve a demonstrated
closure in the gap between fall to spring NWEA MAP - RIT Norm Reading Growth. Within the 5 year
span of the grant, grades 1-8 will meet or exceed the norm reading growth [K progress will be assessed
via winter to spring growth]. Progress monitoring/evidence for the creation of high quality products will
occur via school ratings on the Implementation Review rubric. Protocol for review of the common
writing will involve the compilation of high, medium, and low portfolio pieces from grades PK-8.
Exemplars from EngageNY, rubrics, and the EL Framework will guide the Looking at Student Work
processes through carefully planned Professional Learning sessions and grade level meetings.
GOAL: Students will improve their overall Math skills through high quality first teaching.
OBJECTIVE 1.1: Students will have a demonstrate a deep understanding of math concepts as
demonstrated by the ability to self-select and apply the appropriate math concepts to interpret real-
world content.
OBJECTIVE 1.2: Students will demonstrate speed and accuracy (i.e. fluency) in simple calculations, as
demonstrated by formative and summative assessment of student work.
OBJECTIVE 1.3: Students will be able to write and speak about their understanding of math concepts as
evidenced by demonstration/explanation of the product during the school’s Expedition Night.
Progress Monitoring for math goals will occur using mid-module and end-of module math assessments,
formative assessments, as well as NWEA MAP in the fall, winter, and spring. Successful
implementation will involve a demonstrated closure in the gap between fall to spring NWEA MAP - RIT
Norm Math Growth. Within the 5 year span of the grant, grades 1-8 will meet or exceed the norm math
growth [K progress will be assessed via winter to spring growth].
Goal: Roberto Clemente School #8 will create a community and culture of continuous learning that
supports the academic growth and the social, and emotional health of all students.
OBJECTIVE 1.1: Student social and emotional health will improve through tiered intervention that includes a
focus on restorative practices and the Discipline Ladder to guide student expectations and behavior
consistently and proactively, as evidenced by reduced disciplinary incidents and suspensions.
OBJECTIVE 1.2: Parents will be active participants of the School #8 TEAM through the EL Framework
protocols that include but are not limited to student-led conferences that utilize Habits of Work
[Perseverance, Honor/Integrity, Commitment to Quality, and Collaboration] and student-led Expedition
Nights that showcase student work and achievements.
OBJECTIVE 1.3: Monthly Town Hall/Community meetings will become a common structure at School #8 with
all TEAM members in order to build a culture of pride, success, and celebration of academics and
positive character.
Goal: School #8 will engage partners in the surrounding community in two-way partnerships to identify
resources to support students/families/staff as they establish a sustainable Community School
Model.
OBJECTIVE 1.1: Student wrap-around services will be developed and maintained through the establishment
of relationships with the active neighborhood associations and a variety of community mental health
agencies to increase the number of resources supporting student academic growth and
social/emotional health.
OBJECTIVE 1.2: Student academic achievement will improve through the Learning Walks forum for staff,
students, parents, and community partners--all members of the TEAM, that will provide targeted
observational data that can be analyzed and impact future instructional decisions.
OBJECTIVE 1.3: Students, staff and community members will participate in expeditions aligned with the EL
Framework in order to establish student-driven instruction through guiding questions, case studies,
projects and products, fieldwork, experiences within the community, service learning, and a
culminating event that features high-quality student work.

Community Schools are public schools that emphasize family engagement, characterized by strong
partnerships and additional supports for students and families designed to counter environmental
factors that impede student achievement. While some of the specific attributes of a community school
program vary based on the needs of its respective community, all Community Schools share three
foundational pillars:
● A rigorous academic program with strong supports to prepare all students for college, careers, and
citizenship, and that supplements quality curriculum with expanded learning opportunities that keep
students engaged, coupled with high levels of accountability for results;
● A full range of school-based and school-linked programs and services that, based on a needs
assessment of the community, address the comprehensive needs of students and their families and
that work with families as essential partners in student success; and
● Partnerships that demonstrate collaboration with the local community, including by engaging families
and other community stakeholders and drawing on a broad set of resources, incorporating local and
State government agencies, non-profit service providers, institutions of higher education, and the
philanthropic and business communities in order to extend the impact and depth of services and
programs.
EL will continue to provide and
strengthen the implementation of
an engaging and rigorous
approach to teaching and learning
at Roberto Clemente School #8.
The professional learning
associated with EL promotes a
shared belief system that learning
is interactive, challenging,
meaningful, public, and
collaborative.
