Overarching Goal: Student Learning

All students will successfully complete each grade level and/or course taken, demonstrating proficiency on local and state assessments.

In order to help achieve the overarching District Goal, best practice, research and the following critical questions will guide curriculum, assessment, and intervention in every school and school improvement plan:

• What is it we expect learners to learn/be able to do?
• How will we know if they’ve learned it?
• How will we respond if they haven’t?
• How will we respond if they’ve already learned it?
