Goal 1: CURRICULUM AND PROGRAM

Student Achievement
Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS)

Annually increase the graduation rate by utilizing a MTSS framework that supports a conducive learning environment and by developing research-based intervention programs and strategies to diagnostically identify and assist at-risk students. This will promote the use of a rigorous core curriculum aligned to Next Generation Standards, providing equitable educational opportunities for all students.

Priority

• Monitor leading indicators to identify at-risk students.
•  Develop and implement intervention strategies that provide pathways to success for at-risk students.
• Implement school-wide strategies to increase prosocial behaviors, reduce bullying, and create a safe, supportive learning environment.

GOAL 2: DATA

Student Achievement
Professional Learning Communities (PLCs)

Increase student achievement and teacher success through a teacher driven PLC framework. This will lead to systematic data analysis that initiates instructional improvement and enhances student performance.

•  Increase data literacy of administrators and teachers.
• Utilize DILT, BILT, PLC, and Facilitator teams to analyze district, building, departmental, and student data.
