You are new to NYC Public School 123 and are one of three teachers in your subject and grade level. It is the first month of the school year and your principal asks you to identify one end of year academic goal that would apply to all your students. Your principal wants you to use student data to help determine your goal.
Last year's assessment results indicate the following about your students:
•20% above grade level
•50% on grade level
•30% below grade level
•33% of your classroom is comprised of students with special needs whose assessment results range across all three levels
Identify the most important end of year academic goal for your students.
(Be sure to assume a specific subject area and grade level; if you have multiple certifications or teach multiple subjects, select one.) Please write a plan that addresses your principal's directives in essay format.
Your response should also include the following:
•What is your goal? Why did you select this goal?
•Identify and explain the strategies you would employ to meet this goal. Provide concrete examples.
•What would you do if you realized in February that a quarter of your students were not on track to reach the end of year goal you set?
