Review of Session #1: Opportunities for Improvement
Current State:
What is our starting point for improvements?
Desired State:
What is our vision for improvement? Where do we hope to be in 2-3 years?
Last session, you were guided through a process to identify the school’s strengths and areas for improvement. Today, we will think more about the gap between current performance and desired outcomes, leading to the
design of a roadmap to achieve the desired state in session 3.

CNA Process - Recap
The Comprehensive Needs Assessment (CNA) developed in Part I serves as a tool for school teams to broadly assess a wide range of factors affecting student achievement.
The CNA is the foundation of the planning process—the database from which the planning team develops its vision of the future.
The CNA process provides the opportunity to hypothesize about the
causes of student achievement outcomes, and supports the identification of targeted SMART goals in the Schoolwide Plan (SWP). The CNA process supports schools in thinking about implementation and monitoring. The CNA report serves as an Executive Summary to the SWP.Slide5
10 Components of a Schoolwide Plan
A comprehensive needs assessment of the entire school;
Schoolwide reform strategies that:
Provide opportunities for all children to meet the state's proficient and advanced levels of student academic achievement;
Use effective methods and instructional strategies that are based on scientifically based research;Include strategies to address the needs of all children in the school, but particularly the needs of low-achieving children and those at risk of not meeting the State student academic achievement and how the school will determine if such needs have been met;
Instruction by highly qualified teachers;High-quality and on-going professional development;Strategies to attract high-quality highly qualified teachers to high-need schools; Strategies to increase parental involvement;Plans for assisting preschool children in the transition from early childhood programs to local elementary school programs;
Measures to include teachers in the decisions regarding the use of academic assessments in order to provide information on, and to improve, the achievement of individual students and the overall instructional program;Activities to ensure that students who experience difficulty mastering the proficient or advanced levels of academic achievement standards shall be provided with effective, timely additional assistance; andCoordination and integration of federal, state, and local services and programs.

What do we hope to achieve?
Articulate the desired outcome.
M

. How will we know when
we have achieved the desired results? Identify metrics and benchmarks.
Attainable.
Is the goal achievable? Ensure that we have the resources to achieve the goal; it should be challenging yet attainable.
R

Why is this goal important or relevant? Align each goal with the mission of the school – student achievement!
T

When do we hope to accomplish this goal? Set target dates against which we can measure progress and results. Slide10
Review student data
Identify school strengths, opportunities, and areas for improvement
How to Write a SMART Goal
Step 1: Needs Assessment
Identify a
specific
goal or challengeDetermine a
measure of success
Ensure that the goal is challenging, yet attainableAlign the results
with the broader missionCreate a timeline
Step 2: Goal-setting
Develop solutions to and strategies tied to each goal area
You can learn more about strategic planning during Schoolwide Planning Session #3 on January 29, 2015.
Step 3: Strategic Planning Slide11
Defining SMART Goals
S
~
Clearly
and specifically state what the school is trying to achieve.
pecific
:~Goals have both a broad-based and long-term impact because they are focused on the specific content needs of the specific students for whom the goal is intended.Slide12
Defining SMART Goals
M
~
Shows
how you will know if progress is being made towards achieving the goal. Measurable goals quantify results to determine the degree of impact or influence on student success.
easurable:
-Establishing clear baseline data is critical to measuring a change from the current reality to the preferred future reality.
-Measurement can occur in a number of different ways using a variety of different tools and strategies such as standardized tests, common assessments, progress monitoring measures, classroom observation data, attendance, implementation data, etc. Slide13

SMART Goal Development
Based on the data review findings presented in the CNA, develop SMART goals specific to each
domain
that will support attainment of the school’s goals.
Suggested Domains/Areas of Study: Teaching for Learning:
English/Language Arts; Mathematics; other Core Academic Areas
Culture and Climate: Professional Learning; Parent/Community Engagement; Leadership/Governance; Safe/Orderly Environments

Tip for success
The goal of this phase in the schoolwide planning process is to develop goals to address the areas for improvement identified through the needs assessment process.
During phase 3, teams will identify targeted, research-based strategies aligned
with the
attainment of the SMART goals developed for each domain. Slide24
