2014-2015 River Oaks Academy School Improvement Plan ReportRiver Oaks Academy Shared Beliefs

Every scholar wants the opportunity to learn and be successful.

We must provide a safe, caring and respectful environment to promote high scholar achievement, academic excellence and emotional wellness.

Scholars should be challenged to become confident, self-directed, lifelong learners by creating high expectations for excellence in learning.

All scholars deserve a relevant, challenging curriculum that incorporates various instructional methods and accommodates different learning styles

Parents are the champions for their children and teachers are facilitators for their scholars.

The teachers’ role is to facilitate activities designed to meet the needs of each child.

Scholar learning is optimal in a safe, caring and respectful environment.

River Oaks Academy SMART Goals Provide a duty-free lunch period for every teacher on a daily basis. Provide duty-free instructional planning time for every teacher under G.S. 115C-105.27 and -301.1, with the goal of proving an

average of at least five hours of planning time per week, to the maximum extent that the safety and proper supervision of students may allow during regular student contact hours.

Provide a positive school climate, under CMS regulation JICK-R, by promoting a safe learning environment free of bullying and harassing behaviors.

Increase average student growth in Reading and Math so they are College ad Career Ready (4’s/5’s), by 15%+ as measured by the CMS MAPs Benchmark/Summative EOG/MSL assessments

Increase average student growth in Science, by 15% +, so they are College ad Career Ready (4’s/5’s as measured by the CMS MSL and EOG assessments, while developing community and parent connections with the Catawba River District and parents through a STEM focused partnership

Increase BYOT usage by 10%+ above the 2014-15 school as measured by the ROA teacher survey
