Strategic Direction #1: Improving teaching and personalized learning for the development of each learner.
| How will we measure? |
Raise the number of students meeting state standards in Reading and Math by 2-6 percentage points. |
| What are we doing? |
- Make sure our teaching is aligned to the state expectations.
- Check in with students frequently to make sure they are continuing to grow in their learning.
- Have more lessons that involve active learning by students.
|
| What will you notice? |
- More lessons on work on important academic vocabulary.
- Checks of student learning that could be short quizzes and student reflections. Some will be paper and pencil, and some will be electronic.
- Fewer “closed” activities where possible student answers are narrow and more “open” activities, where students have to find complicated answers.

Strategic Direction #2: Fostering a safe, welcoming, and inclusive environment
| How will we measure? |
Increase the number of students saying they have a trusted adult at school and feel safe at school. |
| What are we doing? |
- Year two implementation of Conscious Discipline which focuses on the notion of the “School Family.”
- Daily Morning Meeting in all spaces used to foster community and provide social and emotional support for students.
- Partner upper and lower grade classrooms as “PALS” in which students can learn from one another while building positive relationships with staff and peers.
|
| What will you notice? |
- A commitment to support community building and strong relationships throughout our school family.
- Regular updates about Morning Meeting lessons and Conscious Discipline resources that help support emotional growth at home.
