Goal #1 - Student Achievement: All student groups at GHS will be given educational opportunities and challenging curriculum to increase academic performance and narrow the achievement gap. Performance Objective(s): 1. Continue fostering a culture of high expectations for all students. 2. Provide quality instruction using RBIs in all classrooms. 3. Continue to provide and maintain all classrooms with 21st Century technology (interactive white boards, projectors, teacher laptops, document cameras, DVD players, and sound systems). 4. Continue to provide all students with the best learning tools available. 5. Disaggregate data to determine individual student needs as well as curriculum gaps. 6. Provide curriculum alignment in all subjects to ensure success on the corresponding STAAR EOC test. 7. Continue using CSCOPE in the four core areas, ELA, math, science, and social studies. 8. CSCOPE Unit Assessments will be given at the end of each unit in the tested subjects. 9. Increase rigor rate and engagement in all classrooms. 10. Improve subgroup percentages, especially in the areas of African American math and science scores 11. Improve overall reading and writing scores in all groups and subgroups. 12. Provide students with an opportunity to score higher on college entrance exams through review/study sessions. 13. Review quality teaching practices and models; train and implement as necessary. 14. Continue using Groesbeck University for after school tutorials 15. Compete for district championship in UIL Academics. Summative Evaluation: AEIS; STAAR; STAAR-M; TELPAS; RPTE; PEIMS Data; Attendance Data; Walk-through Data; Data Walks Cumulative Data; SAT/ACT Scores Revised October 1, 2013 2 SW1 – Comprehensive Needs Assessment; SW2 – Reform Strategies; SW3 – Highly Qualified Staff; SW4 – Professional Development; SW5 – Recruitment & Retention; SW6- Parent Involvement; SW7 – Transitions; SW8 – Teachers Involved in Developing Assessment Process; SW9 – Timely Assistance; SW10 – Coordination of Programs

Goal 1 - Summary of Needs Assessment Findings: (Include AEIS, Adequate Yearly Progress, Drop Out Rate, Attendance, Test Participation Rate, etc.) Although we met standards in all categories, GHS had some areas of real concern. Areas of concern on the STAAR EOCS are primarily with reading and writing in all groups. TEA System Safeguards were not met in the areas of writing across all groups and subgroups. Alg I was also an area of concern. We will continue to remediate and work with students that did not pass these tests in order for graduation requirements to be met. AYP was not met, primarily due to the number of special education students taking modified tests, which far exceeded the federal cap. Academic UIL team placed second in the district. GHS excelled in literary criticism, number sense, and spelling. We had one student go to state in literary criticism. The spelling team thrived, placing third in the state! Goal 1 - Documenting Evidence: (Data Collected/Analyzed) 2012-13 STAAR Data Lead4ward Data Disaggregation Benchmark Exams CSCOPE Unit Assessments AYP Report AEIS Report PDAS Evaluations, Walk-Through Data, and Cumulative Data Walks Data Student Grades GU attendance and the correlation of missing assignments Lesson Planning UIL Individual and Team Scores Goal 1 - Target Actions/Implementations for 2013-14: (Subject and Grade Specific, if applicable) Align curriculum and address gaps in all core areas. Continue use of CSCOPE in all four core areas; provide vertical alignment staff development to core teachers and time to plan CSCOPE lessons. Continue using best practices for teachers presented in the four Learning Keys training sessions; continue training new teachers. Use Success classes for long term interventions Use the Study Island program as intervention as needed. Continue data collecting and disaggregation, including the War Board and Eduphoria. Improve college readiness, Pre-AP and dual credit classes. Graduate the third group in the dual credit initiative with an Associate’s Degree. Increase UIL participation and readiness; fill all UIL teams with prepared students. Continue the credit recovery lab and Fast Track program using A+ software and other materials. Train new staff in engagement and campus culture improvement through Capturing Kids’ Hearts. All staff members continue implementing CKH principles. Administration team will continue campus performance improvement and monitoring with support from the Superintendent of Curriculum and Instruction. Begin two new certification programs to target areas of interest: Welding and CNA. Students will graduate with an industry certification and be workforce ready.
