A strong transformation plan unifies the vision for technology integration and device maintenance with the school improvement plan or goals for the year.
Action Planner Summary
Action Planner Summary
Guiding questions:
How did you use data to inform your student-centered goals and action steps?
When preparing our action planner document, we reviewed relevant data from such digital learning sources as the Teacher Technology Survey (TTS) and TIM-O data from the prior year. Additionally, we reviewed and incorporated staff and student feedback from the Panorama survey, district goals as outlined in the strategic operating plan, and the school's student assessment data from NWEA MAP, SBAC and NGSS assessments.
How did the teachers, students, and families contribute to your plan?

School Goals and Progress
School Goals and Progress
Guiding questions:
Explain how the artifacts align with accomplishing the action steps described in the Action Planner.
The artifacts shown below demonstrate the dedication to accomplishing the goals outlined in our action planner through necessary actions and with a sense of urgency. They also show evidence of a shift toward staff empowerment and buy-in from all stakeholders, rather then simply by the principal, coach, or other school leaders.
What is your progress on the action steps?
Although the action planner established year-long goals, all action steps had been actualized by the mid-point in the 2022-2023 school year. We have remained diligent in implementing these actions not only to create a sense of urgency but also to focus on long-term growth and sustainability, especially as we applied for and have been granted VIlS extension status for the next two years.
What systems have you put in place to create flexibility to adapt and change the plan?
One of the most effective systems that has been in place more consistently this year has been holding weekly meetings between the principal and VILS coach. Additionally, regular meetings of the Instructional Leadership Team along with faculty and TLC meetings have also provided opportunities for seeking feedback and input, and to create flexibility to adapt and revise the action planner as necessary.

Self Reflection on the Element: (Choose one: Emerging, Aligning, or Optimizing)
Optimizing
Strengths: How did your campus exemplify illustrating this element?
Strengths in this element include the evidence that for every one of the goals we included in our action planner, each of the action steps had already been implemented by MOY. This was seen in the implementation of our coding class, steps that were taken to limit Chromebook repairs, new systems for distributing and collecting devices, and professional development efforts around improving instruction to increase students' access to high quality, engaging, and personalized instruction aligned with the UDL framework.
Next Steps: What could you have done differently to better align with this element?
We will continue to reach out to the representatives from Discovery Education to provide support, especially with the coding curriculum.
