Rigorous Instruction. Instruction is customized, inclusive, motivating, and aligned to Common Core. High standards are set in every classroom. Students are actively engaged in ambitious intellectual activity and developing critical thinking skills.Overall Aim – Develop an explicit system of Social Emotional Learning supports to build student capacity to effectively interact with one another and provide support that will increase student achievement on state assessments.
Measurable Goals
- Attendance improve 3% from 2014,
- OORs Incidences will decrease 25%
- Using the Devereaux Students Strengths Assessment (DESSA), we expect growth in key areas of SEL – particularly self-awareness, social-awareness, goal-directed behavior, and decision making. Over the course of the year we aim to decrease the number of students who quantify as “High Need” by 25%.
- Finally, with increased time in class and higher levels of Social Emotional Skills, we expect to see at least a maintenance in Course Pass rates given the switch of our grading policy to emphasize performance over growth. This maintenance will lead to increased performance on state assessments (see specific goals in the action plan below). TBD
Support Environment. The school establishes a classroom and school culture where students feel safe, supported and challenged by their teachers and peers.
Overall Aim – Improve home-school communication frequency and clarity, with particular attention to Peer support for academic work and Peer interactions.
Measurable Goals
- Maintain policy of advisory attendance phone calls with 100% of advisors making at least 98% of required phone calls on time – i.e. calling home when an advisee is late or absent to school that day.
- Maintain policy of advisory update calls (calling at least 2 advisees per week so that all students receive updates at least twice per marking period) to update on SEL and academic progress.
- Increase overall positive average in Peer Interactions from 74% positive to 80% (6 percentage points better than peer group average) or better. Increase Peer support for academic work from overall positive average of 73% to 80% (6 percentage points better than peer group average).
- Maintain attendance growth and increase ADA from 90% to 92%
Strong Family-Community Ties: School leadership brings resources from the community into the school building by welcoming, encouraging, and developing partnerships with families, businesses, and community-based organizations.
Overall Aim – Increase the quality and clarity of communication between home and school
Measurable Goals
- Increase the quantity of contact home (both via phone calls and text) – Advisors already call/email home 2 students per week. We will add 1 email/call home for each subject teacher so that every student in the grade gets a call/email home from a teacher in addition to their advisor calls each marking period.
- Survey parents on communication expectations and set goals to achieve based on results (these measures are TBD and will be developed further during PTA and SLT meeting in September and October with measurable goals set for November, March, and May).
- Articulate opportunities for parents to volunteer in school (e.g. existing celebrations, but also in-class tutoring, lunch monitoring, other in-school related volunteer opportunities).
- Advertise these opportunities in monthly newsletter and aim to have at minimum 5 new parents volunteering at each event/activity (for a minimum total of at least 30% of the parent body volunteering in at least one activity at school.
