Develop instructional units anchored by Common Core State Standards and supported by high quality instructional materials to support College and Career Readiness goals. Facilitate horizontal and vertical teacher collaboration to develop integrated units of instruction. Also, identify and purchase additional supplemental instructional materials aligned with the Common Core State Standards.

Provide students with rigorous and dynamic learning opportunities to address College and Career Readiness goals.

Provide differentiated learning opportunities using DIBELS and NWEA data to support students in meeting/exceeding growth targets in reading, math, and science.

Increase parental knowledge and participation in College and Career Readiness goals.

Offer a balanced curriculum through the inclusion of fine arts, technology, and physical development while promoting a culture of calm.

8/26/2012 9

Facilitate horizontal and vertical teacher collaboration to develop integrated units of instruction. Also, identify and purchase additional supplemental instructional materials aligned with the Common Core State Standards.

Examine planning and instructional practices using the Hess Matrix, the CPS Literacy and Math Content Frameworks, and CPS Framework for Teaching to insure the delivery of high quality instruction increasing the number of students exceeding on ISAT and meeting on EXPLORE.

In an effort to meet 2014 Literacy, Math, and Science performance

targets, data will be used to regroup students and provide targeted instruction using NWEA RIT/DesCartes Skills or DIBELS Progress Monitoring data.

It is essential to educate parents on the Common Core State Standards and College and Career Readiness goals. Likewise, develop partnerships with parents to support teaching, learning, programming, extended learning opportunities, and technology connections.
