Having clarified/discussed gaps and challenges utilizing your data, the next step is to merge these ideas into 3-4 teacher strategy statements (which may be grade level specific).



Criteria for Strategy Statement

1. Begin each statement with “Teachers will...” (and/or which specific group of teachers).

2. Use an action verb of observable behavior which must be done.

3. Write clear, concise statements that describe what you intend to accomplish. (Be specific.)

4. Make sure each teacher strategy addresses the issue and connects back to the measurable objective.

Examples of Strategy Statements:

• General education teachers, in collaboration with Students with Disabilities teachers, will plan a series of meetings to discuss potential interventions and support systems for at-risk students in learning geometric vocabulary and transformations.

• K-12 teachers will create lesson plans based on GLCEs & HSCEs, specifically incorporating a variety of instructional strategies.

• Teachers in grades K-12 will identify gaps in their mathematics curriculum based on the GLCEs & HSCEs.

• Teachers in grades K-12 will use the identified gaps information to begin a search of available research-based resources and document findings.
