Academic Goals
Most recent data shows 41% of students were below proficiency in Science on the end of year state test. We also see growth scores below 50 points for many students. We believe the problem is due to the inconsistency of collaboration between data partners in regards to data and instructional priorities and the lack of student content literacy and critical thinking skills.
To increase the number of students achieving proficiency or higher in Science to at least 65% on the end of year state tests and student growth score of at least 55 points.

Academic Goals
Currently, 49% of our students scoring basic or below basic on the Winter Reading Inventory increase their reading level by 100 Lexile points. We believe the problem is a lack of content-specific vocabulary, literacy strategies, and assessments.
To achieve growth of at least 100 Lexile points for 55% of our students scoring basic or below basic in reading proficiency as measured from 2019 Fall Reading Inventory to the 2020 Spring Reading Inventory.

BLT reps, in conjunction with department teams, will focus on systemic vocabulary development across the curriculum in addition to one disciplinary literacy strategy per department.
Through the Reading Inventory, department review of CFA data, and individual teacher growth scores.
The systemic vocabulary and disciplinary literacy strategies will act as scaffolds for these students. We will monitor the progress of students through formative assessments in their Language Arts classes.
