of goals/objectives. Reteaching and retesting has become a part of the school culture. Most teachers are showing
proficiency with monitoring students’ mastery of goals/objectives . We maintain ongoing data on students who need
reteaching and retesting.
Priority Component # 2 for 2010-2011:
We will use POMM (Progress Objective Mastery Monitoring) to more strategically monitor students’ progress. POMM will
require teachers to:
1. list the goals/objectives that will be covered each quarter and to develop a system to monitor each student’s mastery of
objectives based on the 3 rd week and the 6 th
week common assessment
2. hold students accountable for completing his/her own mastery chart
3. post a class-based mastery of objectives chart in the classroom for each class
4. post and use a word wall for academic “testing” vocabulary
5. work with his/her team to develop an intervention (“qualifier”) that students must complete before being allowed to take a
retest
6. work with team members and administrators to develop an intervention/retesting schedule
7. schedule students for “intervention (qualifier)” and/or “retesting” as appropriate
DIMENSION A: Instructional Excellence and Alignment
Framework Component 3: Deep understanding of concepts and skills
The curriculum emphasizes deep understanding of important concepts & the development of essential skills.
• Teachers make connections across the disciplines to reinforce important concepts and assist students
in applying what they have learned to solve real-world problems.
• All teachers incorporate academic and informational literacy into their course work (i.e. reading,
writing, note taking, researching, listening, and speaking).

Developing Proficient Accomplished Distinguished
School Status: PROFICIENT
We focus on developing essential skills from the NCSCOS and the CMS pacing guide. Teachers work in grade level content
teams to narrow the curriculum as appropriate. We focused on teaching literacy skills in each CORE and elective class.
Most teachers make appropriate connections across disciplines. However, there is a need for more growth in this area.
Teachers will continue to require students to complete a major project per quarter. We will focus on projects being
connected across CORE and elective classes to avoid students being assigned a project per class. We will also move to
infuse AVID strategies in ALL classes (note taking, seminars, etc…).
