Reading Goal

Outcome: Students reading on grade level by the end of 3rd Grade.

Goal: By June 2025, at least 61% of students with disabilities in grades kindergarten through 3rd grade will demonstrate expected screener within year growth in reading (VALLS).

1. Increase use of data to plan instruction and monitor progress during intervention to ensure that students demonstrating risk master foundational skills.
2. Increase efficiency of instructional delivery to ensure all students have daily access to all components of the language arts block as outlined in the new core curriculum.
3. Increase teacher content knowledge of evidence-based literacy instruction aligned with science-based reading research to improve implementation of new core curriculum.

Mathematics Goal

Outcomes: Growth and performance on state/national/international assessments in math. Successful completion of Algebra 1 by 8th Grade.

Goal: By June 2025, at least 68% of students in grades 1-6 will demonstrate expected screener within year growth in math (EMAS/iReady).

1. Improve teachers’ implementation of Framework for Engaging & Student-Centered Mathematics Instruction.
2. Increase teachers' content knowledge and implementation of the 2023 FCPS mathematics program of studies.
3. Increase teacher implementation of explicit instruction and other components of effective mathematics intervention.

Academic Growth & Excellence Goal

Outcome: Growth with evidence in at least two Portrait of a Graduate (POG) skills.

Goal: By June 2025, 100% of students in grades K-6 will complete a Portrait of a Graduate Presentation of Learning (POG-POL) in which they show growth of two POG attributes (Communicator and one additional of each grade level's choice). The POG-POL will be scored using the FCPS POG-POL rubric.

1. Select a POG skill from the vertical articulation charts to focus on with students and explicitly teach the skill.
2. Make explicit connections to POG skills and attributes in daily lessons.
3. Dedicate time for regular student reflection (i.e. Turn and Talks, quick writes, silent thinking to self) to process the POG skills they utilized during meaningful learning experiences and consider how they can continue to grow.
