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.

In 2025-26, IHSLP students enter high school with an average of 1.8 years of US school experience, and with elementary school math grade-level knowledge and skills. The Internationals Network places more focus on project-based, experiential learning because it provides students with differentiated ways to show understanding. Not only do we need to build our students' endurance around formal standardized testing, but we are also in the process of changing staff culture around the importance of helping our students do better on state exams. |

The teacher will model how to use the reasoning self-assessment rubric to answer MCAP-style reasoning items. The teacher is testing out a more student-friendly version of the reasoning rubric to help students understand what they must do to earn a higher score. Since all of our students are MLL, our |
Our ELA 10 teachers will provide students with opportunities to practice MCAP-like reading passage questions. Our monitoring tool will help us identify if/how teachers are doing the teacher moves to help our students earn higher scores on language-dense reading passages. |

teachers need to take MSDE and PGCPS tools and make them more accessible for our students. |
