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 multi step 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.
We PASSED MSP MATH!
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 (4 th & 5 th ), PDM/District training with District coaches, and Accelerated Reader to support student reading development.

The ELA Shift
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
