Goals: Strand and Competencies To Be Addressed / Connection to Education Plan for Student Success
(Check the Strand(s) to be focused on and circle the competencies to be addressed. All three Strands must be addressed over a three (3) year period.)
£ Strand A Competencies: 1 2 5
X Strand B Competencies: 3 *4 6 *7
X Strand C Competencies: 8 *9 / How does the implementation of the district/school EPSS support student learning?
Goad B-4 will articulate and implement a plan for oral language development in the literacy curriculum as stated in our EPSS Smart Goals for literacy.
Goal B-7 will motivate students to be responsible for recognizing areas of strength and needs in themselves and work to augment both.
Goal C-9 To articulate and implement a process of communicating educational standards, benchmarks, and objectives to parents and the community.
GOAL(S) (1, 2, or 3 measurable objectives):
Strand B-4 The teacher will understand the principles of student growth, development, and learning and will apply them appropriately. The standards, benchmarks, and objectives will be shared with the students to enable them to develop rubrics and assessments that will encourage them to recognize areas of strength and needs in themselves. The students will be given many opportunities during instruction to analyze and synthesize information during the weekly literacy curriculum. The goal ultimately is to empower the students assist in development and implementation of the “next step”.
Strand C-9 The teacher will communicate and work productively with colleagues, parents, and community members in developing and implementing decisions concerning educational content.

What formative evidence/measures will I use to determine my progress?
§  Assessment of students’ work and projects
§  Performance levels reported quarterly on report cards.
§  Individual student graphs, along with students’ portfolios (evidence of the progress they have made throughout their 5th grade year)
§  Periodical parent surveys
§  Growth in student development of assessment rubrics (from beginning of year to end)
§  Periodical parent surveys
§  Continuous organization of relevant data and reports
Desired Results: (How will my PDP impact instruction, student learning or professional learning?)
Eighty-five percent of students will have scored “at grade level” in their fluency tests.
All students will have increased their fluency by fifty percent.
The majority of students will be proficient readers and at grade level in school administered tests for Language Arts.
Students will be able to manipulate data and create Excel graphics to self-monitor their own progress.
Students will be able to recognize proficiency or non-proficiency in conferencing with teachers and parents by communicating their strengths and needs.
Teachers will have established lasting parent-teacher-student collaboration to assist students in their academic progress.
Through professional discussion and research, the EPSS committee will enhance the school’s goals to meet the latest research-based teaching practices and knowledge of students’ learning.

The PED regulation requires that the teacher and administrator create the plan collaboratively no later than forty (40) days after the first day of each school year or forty (40) days after hire date. (Initial signatures)
