MATH GOAL
 Focus on integrating the Common Core
Mathematical Practice Standards with the
Common Core Math Content Standards using
grade level appropriate materials.
 Track individual student progress using
assessment data to differentiate and
enhance individual student learning.
Continue to use OTE, IXL, and small group
instruction, leveled math rotations, targeted
instruction and in class math support by
Special Services and Title 1 staff.
 Increase fluency and mastery of basic math fact skills.
 Continue to improve math understanding in the area of problem solving and multistep problems using a variety of strategies/techniques. Examples may include using
content specific vocabulary in written responses, acting out problems or using
manipulatives.
Leveled Math Rotations
Using Flash Masters, Math Websites,
IXL, and Classroom iPads
Problem Solving
We will improve problem solving math scores by
focusing on consistent strategies with help from
our math coaches.

Culture Goal
•

•
•
Cooperation
Attitude- Positive Attitude
Respectful & Responsible
Effort- Quality Effort in
Work & Behavior
• Safety at ALL Times
 The foundation for staff and student
interactions at Greywolf is established through
our CARES program. CARES: Cooperation,
Attitude, Respect, Effort, and Safety is a belief
that the giving or showing of respect and
receiving respect in return produce the optimal
setting for quality student learning. We also
believe that positive connections between our
staff and our students and parents increase the
success of students at school.
 We will carry on our tradition of recognition
assemblies where students earn recognition
certificates for academic and behavioral efforts.
Examples of certificates available are the Golden
Note, Golden Sneaker, and Golden Beaker whole
class awards along with individual awards such as
CARES, Reading Explorers, IXL, Accelerated Reader,
clean desk, and Bucket Filler (kindness) awards.
Last year our students earned almost 8,000
awards.
More Culture Goals
 Parent school partnership is a goal for GWE. Currently, 100% of our
staff are members of our local PTA. Working with our PTA, we will
continue our enrichment assemblies (Family Fun Night, Reading, Math,
Movie night, Reptile man) with the focus of building and strengthening
school and student partnerships. Our enrichment events historically
bring over 1000 parents to Greywolf each year, building a connection
between the work of students at school and home.
 We want students to feel connected to school while learning appropriate social skills with peers
and adults. Our school counselor also supports students and families through community
programs which help connect our students to agencies that will help them meet their basic
health and clothing needs. Students are also offered a Peer Mediation training and
implementation program, a kindness campaign, monthly class meetings to teach and support
social skills with follow up groups and individual support.
 Co-curricular clubs, as well as our after school academic enrichment program OTE, also increases
student’s connections to school, we expect over 200 students will participate in these after
school activities.
TPEP & CCSS Goal
This year all teachers will use Common Core and be evaluated through the
Danielson Framework. Grades K, 1, 2, implementing Common Core 100%,
and grades 3, 4, 5 implementing Common Core 100% by 2014-2015. Eight
certificated staff members will be on a comprehensive evaluation for the
2013-2014 school year, with all teachers
completing a comprehensive
evaluation by 2017-1018.
The remaining staff members
are focused on Domain 4,
Professional responsibilities,
participating in a professional
community and team student
growth goals.
Common Core Standards
ELA Goal
This year Greywolf will build knowledge through content rich, non-fiction
reading. We will strive for a 50-50 balance between fiction/non-fiction
instruction. Also, we will be obtaining literary resources/choices that engage
males in order to close the gender gap. As we move to align to the Common
Core State Standards, Greywolf has put many resources in place including Wolf
Den (LAP), K-3 Literacy support, Read-Write (4th & 5th), PDM/District training
with District coaches, and Accelerated Reader to support student reading
development.

English Language Arts/Literacy
• Building knowledge
through content-rich
nonfiction
• Reading, writing and
speaking grounded in
evidence from text,
both literary and
informational
• Regular practice with
complex text and its
academic language
Mathematics
• Focus is narrowed in
order to maximize depth
of learning
• Coherence: Think across
grades, and link to major
topics within grades
• Rigor: In major topics
pursue conceptual
understanding,
procedural skill and
fluency, and application
with equal intensity
