| School Vision: | At Beacon Heights we envision a school community where respect for individual differences and shared values forms the foundation of our challenging learning environment. By prioritizing excellence in Science, Technology, Writing, Robotics, Engineering, Arts, and Math (STREAM), we strive to maximize each student's potential, ensuring they are well-prepared to meet the challenges of the world around them. | ||
| School Mission: | At Beacon Heights, we are committed to fostering a school environment where environmental sustainability is at the core of our educational approach. By leveraging our existing resources, we aim to seamlessly integrate the STREAM (Science, Technology, Reading, Engineering, Art, and Math) curriculum across all disciplines and grade levels. Our goal is to inspire students to embrace academic challenges with enthusiasm, developing into confident and creative individuals who are dedicated to building a sustainable and ecologically responsible world. | ||
| SMART Goals | ||
| A targeted aspiration that serves as the focal point for collective improvement efforts Specific; Measurable; Achievable; Realistic; Timebound |
||
| Math- During the 2025-2026 school year, the percentage of students in level 3 and 4 will increase by 3 percentage points in grades 3-5 on the MCAP Assessment. | RELA/ELA-During the 2025-2026 school year, the percentage of students in level 3 and 4 will increase by 3 percentage points in grades 3-5 on the MCAP Assessment. | Not Selected- |
| Problem of Practice | ||
| One problem the school has chosen to address that will assist them in moving toward the overarching Smart Goal | ||
| Teachers are not effectively and consistently using data to inform MTSS Tiers and instructional steps in mathematics. As a result, students are not consistently being exposed to instructional activities that are aligned to students' specific skill gaps or strengths. This leads to mismatched supports, delayed interventions, and limited progress monitoring. | Teachers are not effectively and consistently using Progress Monitoring Data to inform MTSS Tier groups and instructional steps in RELA. | |
| Change Idea | ||
| A specific, actionable idea or technique that school teams will use to address the SMART Goal | ||
| Increase teacher effectiveness in using data to plan and implement targeted small-group instruction aligned to MTSS tiers in mathematics. | To increase teacher effectiveness in using data to plan and implement targeted small-group instruction aligned to MTSS tiers in mathematics. | |
| Target | ||
| The AIM set to determine if the implementation of the change idea was successful | ||
| During school year 2025-2026, 100% of the Math teachers in grades 1- 5 will demonstrate the implementation of data driven instruction by use of small group in order to increase student achievement in the area of Operations and Algebraic Thinking by the end of first quarters. | During school year 2025-2026, 100% of the RELA teachers in grades 1- 5 will demonstrate the implementation of data driven instruction by use of small groups in order to increase student achievement in the area of Reading and Writing by the end of first quarter. | By the end of 2025-26 school year, the percent of students "Meeting the Expectations" on the Reading Benchmark will increase by 5% |
| PI- 17% of students in 3rd - 5th grade will score proficient (level 3) or higher on Benchmark #1. IPI- 5% of the students will show an increase within the Milestones, the quarterly unit |
PI- 20% of the students on RELA Benchmark#1 will score level 3 (proficient or higher), IPI- 3% of the students will increase from the level 2 to level 3 on the Cycle Assessment, within the quarterly units. |
