As we reflect on the language used in our goals from last year along with data that was collected, this year our district will focus conversations around ENGAGEMENT.  Our 2022-2023 district goal: Increase engagement across the district as evidenced by students reaching their projected growth score on NWEA.  Other evidence may include DRA benchmarks, iReady diagnostics, local assessments,  attendance data, and behavior interventions.

During this summer’s Leadership Retreat, school leaders worked on identifying needs and goals for each building that align with the district’s goals put forth as a result of our district-wide Comprehensive Needs Assessment.  While this exercise is important for our organization to set priorities and determine allocation of resources, it also helps classroom teachers to hone in on strategies and activities that help to move students forward toward reaching their own goals, some of which should align with school and district goals.  These district goals serve as a foundation for work we will do this year in the area of curriculum and instruction.
