SchoolMath Goal

What is Your Goal?

• We, all teaching staff at Napoleon Middle School, will improve each grades numbers and operations strand score on the Fall 2010 MEAP so that:– The students in 6th and 7th will increase their numbers and operations

strand percentage 5% – The students in 8th grade will increase their numbers and operations

strand by 10% – And, all students in 6-8th grade will improve his/her personal pretest

on the numbers and operations score 10% on the posttest.

Objective One• Teachers will provide a focused enriched

math culture for all students by using math vocabulary and computation when applicable.– Teachers will ID, implement and document ways

to use numbers and operations within their curriculum.

– Weekly Math Activities during homeroom.

Evidence of Action• Options for Evidence:

•Checklist and resources provided to all teachers.•Weekly lesson plans reflect

math activities.

Is It Working? Is the objective implemented to the expected level based on the

plan?

1.All teachers (100%) are currently participating in the physical implementation of the objective.

2.Homeroom teachers give math activities each week in homeroom.

Are the students making progress based on the original goal?

1.Data has yet to be collected to make comparisons. Post tests and MEAP data will be evaluated in the Spring.

Based on the above reflection, articulate the correlation between the objective implementation and the overall success of your student goal.

Objective Two• The Math Department will make available to

all teachers – teaching strategies, thinking processes and tools.– Weekly math activities provided to homeroom

teachers.– Checklist developed for all teachers.

Evidence of Action• Options for Evidence:

•Weekly lesson plans show evidence of math activities.•Monthly discussions reported

on team meeting notes.

Is It Working? Is the objective implemented to the expected level based on the

plan?

1.All teachers (100%) are currently participating in the physical implementation of the objective.

2.Teachers discuss interventions for struggling students at team meetings.

Are the students making progress based on the original goal?

1.Pre/post data is showing progress from year to year.

Based on the above reflection, articulate the correlation between the objective implementation and the overall success of your student goal.

Objective Three• Teachers will provide a focused enriched

math culture for all students by using math vocabulary and computation when applicable.– Weekly emails sent to parents with lesson plans

for the week.– Math websites posted on school website for

parents/students.

Evidence of Action• Options for Evidence:

•Weekly lesson plans emailed to parents.•Website updated periodically.

Is It Working? Is the objective implemented to the expected level based on the

plan?

1.All math teachers (100%) are currently participating in the physical implementation of the objective.

Are the students making progress based on the original goal?

1.Pre/post data is showing progress from year to year.

Based on the above reflection, articulate the correlation between the objective implementation and the overall success of your student goal.

Objective Four• All math teachers will assess and analyze

pre/post test and MEAP data.– Pre and Post test data comparisons– MEAP Data analysis to determine growth –

specifically number and operations strand.

Evidence of Action• Options for Evidence:

•Pre Test given•Waiting for final MEAP Data.

Is It Working? Is the objective implemented to the expected level based on the

plan?

1.All math teachers (100%) are currently participating in the physical implementation of the objective.

2.Other staff serve on committee to monitor completion.

Are the students making progress based on the original goal?

1.Pre/post data is showing progress from year to year.

Based on the above reflection, articulate the correlation between the objective implementation and the overall success of your student goal.

What’s Next?• Post-test and MEAP Data will be reviewed and

success measured– Both in overall Math performance and in Number

and Operations strand.
