2015-16 School Improvement Plan
Continuous Improvement Goal:
Through the use of data teams, we will continually monitor current data to inform instructional practices
resulting in increased achievement in Reading, Mathematics, and Science.
SMART Goal #1:
The percentage of students with typical or high growth in Mathematics will increase from 2012-2013 score of 72.5% to 75% by the
end of the 2015-2016 school year as measured by the CCRPI Progress Score in May 2016. ***The actual numbers will be reviewed
and adjusted when the new CCPRI numbers are released.
Actions, Strategies and
Interventions
(Includes Prof. Learning Plan)
Impact on Student and Adult
Behavior
(“If…then...” Statements)
Focus on building a strong foundation of
mathematical number sense in grades K-5.
If we implement deliberate practices
that focus on building number sense,
then students will be given daily
opportunities to expand their
problem solving skills resulting in
increased achievement.
Provide structured time for data teams to
analyze and reflect on grade specific data;
targeting the lower 25%. Bi-Weekly IST
meetings in each grade level
Instructional Extension Program will
include a mathematics focus for grades
three through five.
Provide continuous professional learning
focused on balanced mathematics through
teacher workshops including: Number
Talks and IKAN/GloSS.
Advanced Content classes provided for
third and fifth grade mathematics
students.
Timeline
2015-2016 School
Year
If we provide and implement an
effective structure for teachers to
analyze data and adjust instruction
based on the results, then we will
improve math instruction resulting
in increased achievement.
If teachers are provided with
appropriate learning opportunities
for mathematics instruction, then we
will improve math instruction
resulting in increased achievement.
Small group differentiation to
remediate/extend concepts.

Describe how your SMART Goal will be monitored throughout the year:
Sawnee will renew its focus on meeting on a bi-weekly basis to discuss student data. All departments will monitor assessment
results and meet in IST meetings to discuss progress for students in Tiers II, III, and IV. Additionally, Sawnee has scheduled
Powerplanning dates every six weeks for departments to discuss all students’ progress towards goals.

SMART Goal #2:
The percentage of students with typical or high growth in Science will increase from 2012-2013 score of 59.4% to 62% by the end of
the 2014-2015 school year as measured by the CCRPI Progress Score in May 2015. ***The actual numbers will be reviewed and
adjusted when the new CCPRI numbers are released.
Actions, Strategies and
Interventions
(Includes Prof. Learning Plan)
Content supported special area class
focused on STEM for grades k-5.
Focus on science literacy integration for
grades k-5.
