In alignment with the goals and priorities of Prince George's County Public Schools (PGCPS), the School Performance Plan (SPP) allows for a transparent and collaborative school improvement process with a focus on student achievement.
The School Performance Plan was developed this school year as the continuation of the detailed work and planning completed in the previous school year. The SPP focuses schools on engaging in disciplined inquiry cycles through the use of Plan, Do, Study, Act (PDSA). Through the successful utilization of PDSA, schools are able to impact student achievement and teacher practice by taking a scientific approach to school improvement.

| Problem of Practice | ||
| One problem the school has chosen to address that will assist them in moving toward the overarching Smart Goal | ||
| Teacher instruction does not consistently provide students with a structured process to restate problems and show evidence. Students struggle to model and explain their thinking during problem-solving tasks. | Teacher instruction does not consistently provide students with a structured process to restate problems, show evidence through written examples and explain their thinking in detail. | |
| Change Idea | ||
| A specific, actionable idea or technique that school teams will use to address the SMART Goal | ||
| Teachers will intentionally use the "Curriculum Levels of Implementation in Elementary Mathematics Rubric" in order to fully engage and prepare their daily instruction through the use the Launch, Explore and Summarize lesson structure. OR Teachers will implement the RACES Math Strategy during math instruction to strengthen students' ability to problem-solve, reason, and explain their thinking when responding to word problems. Teachers will use the Curriculum levels of Implementation Rubric to prepare their daily instruction through the use the Launch, Explore and Summarize lesson structure. |
Teachers will implement the RACE(S) strategy in reading and writing tasks to improve comprehension, text analysis and evidenced based responses. | |
| Target | ||
| The AIM set to determine if the implementation of the change idea was successful | ||
