             Identify and catalog interventions to be used.

             Realign supports and resources to optimize efficiency.

             Use data to map curriculum.

             Develop monitoring system to be used in all grades 2-6.

OBJECTIVE #2: Northern Lincoln Elementary School will meet the Annual Measured Objectives (AMO) objectives through Balanced Literacy and standards based math instruction.

STRATEGY: Monitoring of all programs will be on-going and individualized per student need.

RESULT STATEMENT: Individual program efficacy will be achieved.

 

Changes in student learning behavior:  What will students do to reach the identified results?  How will we know whether students are developing these behaviors?

Changing Instruction:  What will teachers do to ensure students change their learning behaviors and attain the result?

Monitoring progress with timelines and adjustments:  How will we measure progress towards the changes in learning behavior and teaching that we want?  How will we keep the principal, parents and SIT informed and involved?

Collaboration and Support:  How will we use the information we get to improve our program?  When will we discuss the progress we are making?

Resources, School and District:  How will the district and school leadership ensure that the school reaches the results?

Evaluation of Success/reporting to Families and Community:  How will you know if the students reach the intended results?  How will you inform the school community?
