Academic Plan SY 2011-12 (Rev 1-Dec-2010)
Goal 1. ASSURE | |
Objectives: a. Utilize formative assessments, including Data for School Improvement to drive instruction. b. Improve schools and system through use of Longitudinal Data System Dashboards. c. Use high quality standards, curriculum and materials. d. Expand opportunities for rigorous Career and Technical Education programs of study within the pathways. | |
School Strategies (aligned to DOE Strategic Plan measures) (SW6) (SW8) (SW9) | |
1. | Teachers and administrators will utilize formative assessment tools to plan instruction and improve all students’ learning. |
2. | Within a standards-based learning environment every content area teacher will be a teacher of literacy that’s deliberately included and explicitly taught to deepen students' understanding of content (rigor) and used beyond the classroom (relevance). |
Rationale:
Per school-wide data, the primary focus areas will need to address both student achievement and the improvement of student learning through research-based instructional practices addressing all learners (subgroups).
