SMART Goals SMART Goals SMART GoalsPeriod 6- Student Data

Common skills/interventions/strategies that were implemented as a team across the content areas

•The use of mathematics was integrated into student assignments to build content connections.

•Teaching emphasized problem-solving, reading strategies, and test taking skills that are applicable in all content areas.

SMART Goals

•1st period- Increase margin of growth from 15% to 20%

•2st period- Increase margin of growth from 6% to 10%

•5th period- Increase margin of growth from 17% to 22%

•6th period- Increase margin of growth from 21% to 25%

Growth will be measured at the end of unit 3.
