B. SCHOOL GOALS for 2008-2009
- The achievement focus for the coming year will be in the area of mathematics. Students will improve in number sense/comprehension and computations. Added emphasis will be placed on strategies that meet the needs of students who struggle to meet proficiency.
- Staff will increase their cultural self-awareness and competence in working with individuals different from the majority culture that exists at our school. Staff will be aided in meeting this goal by taking part in on-going training with Dr. Heather Hackman, attending Responsive Classroom training sessions, taking part in Learning Bridges on-line courses, attending S.E.E.D. training, etc.
- Staff will increase their competence in differentiating student learning. Differentiation can be accomplished by adjusting the learning content, process, product, environment, and/or assessment.
