Priority Performance Challenges (PPC): (what is the focus?)
We have two goals this year: 1. To improve writing skills building-wide 2. To decrease the number of students that opt out of testing
Root Cause(s) for the PPC: (What is the underlying cause of the performance challenge?) - Lack of multiple opportunities for students to write across all content areas. - Community energy surrounding opting out of testing—both locally and statewide - Lack of remedial support/interventions for students.
Major Improvement Strategies to Address the Root Cause(s):
- Enhance the focus on writing throughout all content areas by narrowing the building wide educational focus on writing alone - Apply growth mindset in classroom policies and procedures; ie, allowing rewrites to enhance skill development - Training in and implementation of Student Learning Objectives to drive Professional Learning Community goals. - Focus PLC work on SLOs geared toward writing. - Implement proactive encouragements about the benefits of taking standardized assessments.
