ELA Process Monitoring of Goal

How will you monitor

change in adult

practice? How will you

know if your staff is at

full implementation?

Measure you will use/develop to monitor changes in adult practices:

Weekly Guided Reading Lesson Template (weekly date, group members, reading levels, reading skill(s), and book title.)

Pre/Post Writing Tests for Writing Units (four times during school year)

Process you will use to monitor changes in teacher practices:

Walk-through data – done by leadership, ELA focus team and administration; lesson plan documentation to be reviewed as part of

administrative TKES observations; observations; formative assessment data

What student

achievement measure

will you use to monitor

the impact of this

process?

How will you know if

this process goal is

impacting student

learning (formative &

summative)?

Measure you will use to monitor impact on student achievement:

MAP Testing

Pre/Post from writing units (County/Calkins)

Conference Log

Student Writing Folder

Pre/Post Writing Tests for Writing Units (four times during school year)

Guided Reading Group

What is your current baseline on this measure:

MAP testing in August will create the baseline for further measure.

Rubric baseline from writing unit

What is your goal/target on this measure:

MAP Testing: 75% of students will achieve their yearly growth rate from Fall to Spring

75% of students will show growth using writing rubrics

Timeline for monitoring student performance via this measure:

MATH Process Goal

MATH Process Goal (Identify S.M.A.R.T. goal here): In 2017 – 2018, teachers will establish and implement weekly classroom practices for students to set goals and

develop action plans and actively monitor their weekly progress toward mastery of math learning target goals through consistent structured support and feedback.


The teacher will facilitate the unpacking of learning targets

with students at the beginning of each unit so students will

understand their performance level based on the pre-

assessment and use this knowledge to set action plans.
