Goal #1: Academic Achievement in Reading/Language Arts – Closing the Achievement Gap

• The Language Arts ILEARN proficiency rate between the highest performing student group and the lowest performing student groups will be reduced in three academic years
  

Sample Indicators to Measure Growth -

• Examine instructional teaching practices and skills and strategies of foundational reading skills
• Focused PLC work in the areas of reading, writing, and phonics to create targeted lessons or interventions in response to data collection
• Continuation of Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) process, including CST (Child Study Team)
  
• Develop and Engage in Community Partnerships with Families
  
• Intentional Focus on Attendance
  
• Continued Support of Core Instruction in the areas of Conventions, Phonics, Phonemic Awareness, and Word Study
  

Goal #2: Individual Academic Achievement

• 100% of students should demonstrate academic growth based on their individual projected growth goals.
  

Sample Indicators to Measure Growth -

• Improve the Intentional Planning and Implementation of Small Group Instruction
• Refine Co-teaching Practices - Collaborative cohort s, “Lab” Classrooms, and Peer Observations
• Analyze Strengths and Needs of Core Reading and Math Instructional Practices
