2015-16 School Improvement Plan
North Forsyth Middle
Continuous Improvement Goal:
I.
NFMS will increase its combined Achievement and Progress components of the CCRPI score.
II.
NFMS will target the improved social/emotional health of students through an initial
implementation of a researched based program targeting specific competencies. .
SMART Goal:
I.
II.
NFMS academic teachers will complete a Data Teams process on at least one assessment per semester. Assessments
will be identified by subject and grade level and will conform to one of three types as outlined in the Action Steps
NFMS staff will see positive gains in student “emotional inventories/competencies” after implementing a research
based program targeting successful mindsets.
Actions, Strategies and
Interventions
(Includes Prof. Learning Plan)
I.
II.
All Academic staff will
implement at least one of
the three following types
of SMART goal measures
for Data teams:
1. Whole Test Improvement
– pre to post with targeted
individuals/standards
(“classic” SMART goal).
2. Student Growth Measure
– SLO Methodology
applied to Pre/Post.
3. Targeted Standards/skills
within summative
assessments – ID skills
applied to pre/post .
All Staff will implement
the 7 Mindsets program at
a minimum of two twenty
minute lessons for 24
weeks.
Impact on Student and Adult
Behavior
(“If…then...” Statements)
If teachers implement a data
teams process (with particular
emphasis on the major units
selected), then student
achievement rates will improve
at a minimum of targeted goal
levels.
Timeline
August 2015 –
May 2016
If teachers implement the lessons
with fidelity and on regularly
scheduled basis, then student
emotional competencies (which are
admittedly hard to measure) will
improve.
Continued
Professional
development in
differentiation, IT’s
resources (and
general LMS
utilization).
All staff share in
responsibility
