Growth and Performance in Coursework
Goal
By June 2025, the pass rate on the Reading SOL will increase from 40% to 50% for our Multilingual Learners. By June 2025, the pass rate for all students will increase from 85% to 91% as measured by the Reading SOL.
Strategy 1
Use formative integrated reading and writing tasks (i.e., reading responses, annotations).
Strategy 2
Strengthen differentiation by designing and implementing effective scaffolds.
Strategy 3
Provide opportunities for students to read and apply disciplinary texts to support content learning goals.
Evidence of Progression Towards or Successful Completion of Advanced Coursework
Goal
By June 2025, the percentage of Grade 12 Students with Disabilities meeting the success criteria (C- or better) in one or more IB/DE courses will increase from 50% to 55%.
Strategy 1
Utilize Thinking Routines Matrix to facilitate deeper thinking and complexity.
Strategy 2
Use Academic and Career Advisory Lessons.
Strategy 3
Increase opportunities for student reflection, goal-setting, and feedback that supports growth around content and Portrait of a Graduate skills.
Strategy 4
Family & Community Partnership: Engage families in regular, two-way communication about student learning and healthy development.
Student Attendance and Absenteeism Rates
Goal
By June of 2025, SLHS will reduce our Chronic Attendance (CA) rate for our school from 18.9% to 17.2% as measured by the CA dashboard.
Strategy 1
MTSS Schoolwide and Site Intervention teams will analyze attendance along with behavior and wellness data bi-monthly to identify students in need of Tier 2 and Tier 3 interventions.
Strategy 2
Schools will implement practices to recognize good and improved attendance to reinforce attendance and strengthen student and family engagement.
Strategy 3
Teachers will use a variety of culturally-responsive practices and communication methods to provide supportive outreach to students and families when student attendance concerns arise.
Discipline Disproportionality and Recidivism
Goal
Strategy 1
Strategy 2
Strategy 3
Growth and Performance on State Assessments in Science
Goal
By June 2025, pass rates for the Biology SOL will increase by 10% for Multilingual Learners and 5% for Students with Disabilities. The pass rate on the Chemistry SOL will increase by 29% for all students, and the pass rate for the Earth Science SOL will increase by 5% for all students.
Strategy 1
Expand the type and frequency of formative assessments to evaluate progress throughout units and lessons, such as exit tickets, four corners, whiteboards, stoplight reflection.
Strategy 2
Increase opportunities to develop science content vocabulary through inquiry-based learning, such as during the Explore of the 5E learning model, followed by explicit instruction during the Explain.
Strategy 3
Use discourse strategies and thinking routines to increase students' academic conversations.
Strategy 4
Expand opportunities to meaningfully integrate science within and across content areas to include literacy skills, mathmatical reasoning, and global context.
Growth and Performance on State Assessments in Math
Goal
By June of 2025, SOL pass rates will increase by 9% in the SWD subgroup as measured by the SOL scores on all math SOLs.
Strategy 1
Increase teacher implementation of explicit instruction and other components of effective mathematics intervention.
Strategy 2
Provide regular opportunities for students to reflect on their learning experiences, set goals for growth, and track their progress over time.
Strategy 3
Increase teachers' implementation of strategies and conversation structures that increase academic talk between students related to Shift 4: from show and tell to share and compare.
College Career Civic Readiness Index (CCCRI)
Goal
By June 2025, the CCCRI for the Class of 2025 will be Level 1 (rate greater or equal to 85%) as measured by the College Career Civic Readiness Index Dashboard.
Strategy 1
Embed HQWBL and Service Learning Experiences into content courses and ensure teachers have training for capturing those experiences in the gradebook. *For the current cohort, it is especially important to include an HQWBL Service Learning Experience into a course that 12th grade students who have not yet met CCCRI are taking (i.e. English 12 or Government, as appropriate). For future planning, embed HQWBL and Service Learning into earlier grade levels.
Strategy 2
Designate and optimize a CCCRI team (can be combined with the graduation team) focused on analyzing, tracking, and monitoring student data relating to students' successful progress and completion of CCCRI and graduation requirements with high frequency
