Single School Plan Components

• Implement a professional development program in reading comprehension strategies (icluding fluency) that will improve student access to core subject text, especially for our target population.
• Continue department department/grade level work to full align curriculum to the standards and to develop a variety of common assessments to determine student progress in meeting the California Content standards.
• Work with the local collaborative to improve the implementation of Cycles of Inquiry and to share effective teacher practices around reading, leadership and the effective use of data to drive instructional decisions.
