Our Annual Goal: By the end of the year, at risk students inK-2, identified based on initial ranking forms, will improve numeracy and computation skills as measured by AIMSweb Math Universal Screening Data.

By the end of the year, at risk students in 3-5, identified based on initial math ranking forms, will improve their math comprehension and computation skills as measured by AIMSweb Math Universal Screening Data.

70% of the K-2 literacy students and 75% of the 3-5 students will make four or more quarters of growth measured by Fountas and Pinnell or Teacher’s College reading passages.

2nd quarter Smart Goal- 70% of the students in literacy or ESL intervention will make two quarters of growth in reading measured by running records.

Critical Questions of a Professional Learning Community:

What is it we expect our students to learn?

How will we know when they have learned it?

How will we support them when they don’t learn it?

How will we respond when they already know it?
