Strategic Plan

OUR MISSION is to provide educational excellence for all students!

OUR NON-NEGOTIABLE GOALS are increased student achievement and more effective teaching.

OUR STRATEGY is two-fold:

At the school system level--

• To build the capacity of personnel to deliver high quality instruction through:
  
  
  • Using Research-Based Instructional Strategies in classrooms (RBIS)
  • Building the Background Knowledge of students during the school day (BBK)
  • Integrating the use of technology in classroom lessons (TI)

At the school building level--

• To ensure high-functioning Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) in each school with a definite time and place to meet and an agenda of work centered around instruction and its outcomes for students through ongoing question-asking and action steps:

• What do we want students to know, do, and understand?
  

  Connection: Georgia Performance Standards/Georgia Assessments (Steps 1 & 2)

• How do we best engage students in the learning?

  Connection: RBIS, BBK, TI (Step 2)

• How do we know if students know, do, and understand what we want?

  Connection: Common Assessments--Formative & Benchmarks (Steps 3 & 4)

• What do we do when students don't know, do, and understand what we want?

  Connection: RtI (tiered remediation); Enrichment (Steps 5 & 6)

• Step 1: Pre-analyze data aligned to Georgia Performance Standards/Georgia Assessments
• Step 2: Deliver standards-based instruction using RBIS, BBK, & TI
• Step 3: Conduct common assessments (formative and/or benchmarks) aligned to Georgia Performance Standards
• Step 4: Analyze common assessment results to check for mastery
• Step 5: Implement GPS-based tiered remediation (RtI) and Enrichment
• Step 6: Check for mastery/Repeat Cycle

 

 

OUR TIMETABLE is over the next five school years (2010-11 - 2014-15)

OUR RESULTS will show continuous improvement related to student achievement and more effective teaching as exhibited by CRCTs, GHSGTs, and EOCTs no later than Spring 2012-2013 forward. Additionally, we will program for greater student exposure to and success in college readiness (ACT, SAT, AP) and workplace readiness (ACT WorkKeys a.k.a. Georgia Work Ready Assessments).
