COMPREHENSIVE DISTRICT IMPROVEMENT PLAN:<br />
STRATEGIC PLAN FOR <strong>2009</strong>-10 AND BEYOND<br />
Goal 1: Enhance Effective Teaching<br />
We will enhance teaching by engaging teachers in reflective practice that in turn engages students in<br />
challenging, rewarding, and authentic academic work. Effective teaching and high expectations will enable each<br />
student to attain high levels of performance and will facilitate the closing of achievement gaps. Effective<br />
teaching is personalized and inquiry-based, fosters student understanding, and requires students to extend their<br />
conceptual thinking individually and with other students.<br />
Strategy 2: Improve Math and Science Instruction<br />
We will strengthen mathematics and science instruction by deepening the implementation of the K–12 math and<br />
science curricula: Investigations 2, Connected Mathematics 2 (CMP2), Science Modules, Integrated Science 1A<br />
and 1B, and Biology—A Human Approach. We will implement and provide professional development for gradenine<br />
and grade-ten teachers of the newly selected College Preparatory Mathematics Program. Interested<br />
classroom teachers will participate in professional learning communities supported by Resource Teachers (RTs)<br />
with a focus on instruction and assessment for learning. RTs will receive professional development in cognitive<br />
coaching, assessment for learning, facilitation of learning communities, and discourse in an inquiry-based<br />
classroom. We will evaluate the levels of classroom implementation of the high school mathematics and science<br />
programs designed by Accountability, Research, and <strong>Plan</strong>ning.<br />

ACTION STEPS IMPLEMENTER(S) START BY FINISH BY<br />
1. Continue development and implementation of the GE<br />
Math/Science Initiative, including Management<br />
Capacity, GE Volunteerism, Constituency Engagement,<br />
and Evaluation.<br />
2. Support implementation of science modules K-8 through<br />
professional development, implementation observations,<br />
material needs analysis, and continual sequence and<br />
pacing analysis.<br />
3. Continue a collaborative relationship with the Lawrence<br />
Hall of Science integrating assessment and instruction.<br />
Selected teachers and resource teachers will<br />
participate in institutes focused on deepening<br />
content knowledge and assessment practices.<br />
Explore the development of formative assessment<br />
through Stiggins and KLT.<br />
Draw on knowledge/experience gained to facilitate<br />
districtwide and school-wide professional<br />
development to build capacity and create<br />
professional learning communities.<br />
4. Continue implementation of high school science<br />
curriculum for Integrated Science IA, I B, and Biology<br />
through professional development, implementation<br />
observations, material needs analysis, and continual<br />
sequence and pacing analysis.<br />
Continue to work with the developers to refine and<br />
revise long-term implementation goals for<br />
sustainability.<br />
Develop the High School Science Leadership Cadre<br />
throughout the school year in preparation for <strong>2010</strong>-<br />
11 for professional development responsibilities.<br />
