READING GOALS* based on weakness identified on the state assessment:
*Must be specific, measurable attainable, based on needs, and fit within a specified time frame.
1. Throughout school year, we will continue to address lowest indicators (as shown above).
2. All students will write, read and comprehend at grade level.
3. Staff will learn more about the three principles set by the state:
- College & Career-Ready Expectations for All Students
- State Developed Differentiated Recognition, Accountability & Support System
- Support Effective Instruction & Leadership.
4. Teachers will become more knowledgeable on KS Common Core Standards in reading/language arts.
5. Teachers will become more knowledgeable on the four ways the state will be looking at assessment results: improving achievement (Assessment Performance Index-
API), increasing growth, decreasing gap, and reducing non-proficient scores. Annual Measurable Objectives (AMO’s) will be set.
