At McShan Elementary school, we have high expectations for excellence and we are committed to the academic achievement of our scholars. We are focused on research-based measures which are factors in successful schools. Our goals are based upon the framework of critical success indicators of high achieving schools. They are as follows: to improve academic performance, increase the use and quality of data to drive instruction, increase leadership effectiveness, Our PD needs area as follows: Balanced Literacy, ELL strategies, and Vocabulary Development We will continue to implement a more viable aligned curriculum from PK-5 in all subject areas with a focus on the foundational lower grades. Our scholars will be a part of an assessment cycle which consists of assessments designed to build stamina and to provide data to teachers regarding their lesson delivery and student mastery of SE s. Teachers will engage in professional dialogue regarding lesson planning, curriculum mapping, interim assessments, and data interventions. Additional supports are needed for tutoring and parent resources to support the English language development for parents.
