Strengths K-12 Curriculum aligned
to the Minnesota Academic Standards
Focus on Inquiry-based learning (FOSS Kits) at Elementary and Middle
AP Biology offered in the high school
Environmental/ Nature Center
Ninth Grade Wolf Ridge Trip
Science Olympiad Success
Opportunities for Improvement Enhance the
engineering component of our curriculum
Analyze the MCA strand data Grades 3-11 for strengths and areas of need
Explore STEM and PLTW initiatives
Embed more reading into science curriculum
The District will utilize technology as a tool to enhance instruction.
Presently: Smart Boards/ENO Boards are utilized in all
classrooms PreK-12. All teaching staff have an iPad. Staff training focusing on the use of the iPad has
been provided. The Middle and Elementary School students have
access to iPads through the RtI process, Special Education, Speech/Language, and other content areas.
The District will utilize technology as a tool to enhance instruction.
New Initiatives The High School is exploring the possibility of a 1:1 initiative for
the 2014-2015 school year. The Elementary will have an Elementary Technology and
Keyboarding Teacher for the 2013-14 school year with an additional computer lab with 30 computers.
The Middle School will have 3 to 1 ratio of students to computers with the addition of another lab.
The Elementary and Middle Schools are exploring the possibility of mobile iPad laboratories.
Staff development opportunities how to utilize technology to enhance instruction will be continued at all levels of the district.
Strengths Addressing the
Minnesota Academic Standards in this area
AgScience growth with increased class offerings and increased number of students participating
RAMSP AgScience initiative
Opportunities for Improvement Explore areas to
embed engineering process and concepts into curriculum such as PLTW
Students will meet or exceed proficiency levels on the Math Minnesota Comprehensive Assessment at grades 3-8 and grade 11.
Percent of Students Proficient

Strengths Content and
language Objectives – Sheltered Instruction
PLCs (Team Meeting) focus on Math
Improvement in results – particularly ACT
Opportunities for Improvement Root cause
analysis for results through diagnostic assessments
RtI (Differentiated instruction)
Successful Completion Rates Common Assessment Data Implementation of the ISTE Standards Testing Data
AIMS Web – Reading and Math MCAs – Reading, Math and Science NWEA – moving to STAR Enterprise Math and
Reading ACT Assessment
Data from NWEA were not driving instruction as often or well as needed.
Root cause analysis is critical when providing interventions.
Tiered/differentiated instruction must become a common practice – not an add-on.
T he focus on reading instruction in the elementary affects the amount of time for science instruction.
Fidelity to the Minnesota Academic Standards as well as to research-based instructional strategies is essential for academic growth.
Thank you!
