| SMART Goals | ||
| A targeted aspiration that serves as the focal point for collective improvement efforts Specific; Measurable; Achievable; Realistic; Timebound |
||
| Math- By June 2026, the percentage of students who score proficient or advanced will increase by 5 percentage points on MCAP Mathematics | English Language Development-By June 2026 25% of ML students will increase their proficiency level on the WIDA ACCESS exam | Attendance-By June 2026, the percentage of students who are chronically absent will decrease by 10%. |
| Problem of Practice | ||
| One problem the school has chosen to address that will assist them in moving toward the overarching Smart Goal | ||
| Informal observations show that 4 out of 6 of the mathematics classrooms are engaging in answer seeking behaviors and not requiring students to explain their thinking. | ML students are not speaking or writing; they sit silently. Students provide responses that don't meet the demands of the standard. Teachers do not establish expectations for speaking/writing. | After taking a closer look at the current Chronic Absenteeism reports, students with disabilities at Benjamin Stoddert Middle School are absent at a higher rate than their peers. This appears to be due to their higher level of suspensions |
| Change Idea | ||
| A specific, actionable idea or technique that school teams will use to address the SMART Goal | ||
| Implement daily written lesson objectives in all mathematics classrooms that are explicitly aligned to the skills and concepts being taught | Professional Development on how to read Access Scores and Can Do Descriptors | During the cycle the leadership team will develop a PD plan to support teachers with the strategies needed to support students with IEP (ie; Classroom Management ; Implementing Classroom Behavior Strategies; RTI - Tier 1 Instruction and lesson planning teachers being participatory in tier 1 are you all bringing high quality instructional that is engagings student. |
| Target | ||
| The AIM set to determine if the implementation of the change idea was successful | ||
| By the end of the current semester, 100% of mathematics classrooms will display and use daily lesson objectives that align to the day's lesson and content. | By the end of the professional development cycle, 100% of content teachers (Reading, Math, Science, and Social Studies) will show an increased of knowledge of ACCESS scores and Can-Do Descriptors, as evidenced by higher post assessment scores compared to pre-assessment scores. | By the end of the PD cycle, 100% of teachers will show: an increase in self-reported confidence on post-PD surveys compared to pre-PD surveys. |
