Strategic Direction #1: Improving teaching and personalized learning for the development of each learner.

 How will   we   measure?  Raise the number of students meeting state   standards in Reading and Math by 2-6   percentage points.
 What are   we doing?
  • Make sure our teaching is aligned to the state expectations and explicitly use and teach with student-friendly learning targets with a focus on reading, writing, speaking and listening in each lesson. 

  • Check in with students frequently to make sure they are continuing to grow in their learning. 

  • Have more lessons that involve active learning by students while in collaboration with each other.

 What will   you notice?
  • More lessons on work on important academic vocabulary. 

  • Checks of student learning that could be short quizzes and student reflections. Some will be paper and pencil, and some will be electronic. 

  • Fewer “closed” activities where possible student answers are narrow and more “open” activities, where students have to find complicated answers.

 

Strategic Direction #2: Fostering a safe, welcoming, and inclusive environment

 How will we   measure?  Increase the number of students saying they   have a trusted adult at school and feel safe at   school.
 What are we   doing?
  • Counselors meeting with every single student at least one time per year

  • Intentional lessons about mental health and community building during Advisory

  • Clarified expectations for behavior and school climate - P.R.I.D.E.

 What will   you notice?
  • A greater focus during class time and a calmer environment between classes

  • Regular updates about advisory lessons with suggestions about how to support emotional growth at home. 

  • Emotional growth from your learner
