III. Action Plan:
There will be 5-6 action plan documents – one plan for each identified SMARTe goal
See the table in Appendix A for the number of SMARTe goals needed for each strategic goal.
See Appendix B for sample phrasings and lists of best instructional practices, resources, practices and personnel.
Adult Implementation Indicators identify the adult actions that must take place to impact the identified goal
See Appendix C for a sample action plan
IV. Action Steps:
Complete this chart for each best practice or strategy (5-6 total)
Identify the action steps needed to address and implement the action plan for each of the school’s SMARTe goals
There should be no more than 10 action steps per identified best practice or strategy
At least one action step needs to address family engagement inclusion
For each action step, identify the timeline for which this action step will be implemented or addressed

V. Professional Development Plan
The professional development plan identifies activities that are needed in order to support the strategies and actions listed in the Action
Steps.
Review of the professional development opportunities and implementation is part of the Ongoing Evaluation process.
See Section 4 of the District Accountability Framework for more detailed guidelines on professional development.
See Appendix D for a sample portion of a Professional Development Plan.
VI. Ongoing Evaluation – 5 Week Status Report:
Status reports will be completed by the Central Office Department Leadership Team beginning on December 3 and every five weeks
thereafter through the end of the school year.
The purpose of the status reports is to review progress being made on the selected practices or strategies so that modifications can be
made if necessary.
List the 5-6 identified best practices or strategies (from your 5-6 action plans)
List the Adult Implementation and Student Results Indicators
Using a bulleted list of phrases or statements, reflect on the current level of implementation of the action steps.
Shall the school maintain or modify this strategy If you choose to modify this strategy, include in your reflection the reasoning behind
the change.
VII. End of Year Reflections and Next Steps:
In this section, schools describe the successes and challenges of their improvement efforts. The following questions may assist in the
development of this qualitative summary:
How does our performance compare to last year for every student subgroup and targeted student population
How do individual student’s performance compare to their previous year’s results
What are the root causes for student performance results
Which strategies improved student achievement in each student subgroup and targeted student population and which ones did not
Why
What changes will we make to the strategies in order to improve student achievement in each student subgroup and targeted student
population
What are we doing to foster continuous improvement
What are we learning about student learning and how does this drive our professional development
As a school what do we do to meet the needs of the students who are not achieving
As a school what do we do to challenge the students who have already mastered prioritized grade level skills and concepts
What are our next steps for next year

IA. School Instructional Leadership Team Members
School Instructional Leadership Team (ILT) Members shall include:
• Teachers (Representation of each grade level or dept/team-specify position, i.e. 2 nd grade teacher, mathematics chair, etc.)
• Representatives of support populations (Special Education, English Language Learners, and other support staff)

(Explain how ILT members
implement and measure schoolwide
strategies.)
Wawecus Road School will implement strategies that prepare our students to be college and career ready.
Wawecus’ long term goal is to halve the proficiency gap by 2017 and demonstrate typical or higher annual
student growth (i.e. median SGP of 51 or higher). Our goal for 2014 is to achieve a CPI of 83.0 in ELA,
82.0 in Math, 85.4 in Science and a median of SGP of 61 or higher.
On the Wawecus’ open response 100% of our students’ will increase their open response score by at least
one level. The percentage of students who received a score of 3 or 4 will increase from 22% to 85% by
June 2014.
In Mathematics, Wawecus will increase the percentage in the column above proficiency and typical
growth from 27.6% to 40% on the 2014 Spring MAP.
In Science we will increase the amount of student scoring Advanced/ Proficient from 22% to 45%. On the
Science open response100% of the grade five students will increase their open response score by at least
one level. The percentage of students who received a score of 3 or 4 will increase from 10% to 50% by
June 2014.
Differentiation to ensure access for targeted student populations
Wawecus’ 5 Best Practices:
