Goal
Through the implementation of Professional Learning Communities our
school will be able to provide consistent, collaborative, and data
informed instructional shifts to meet the needs of all students we serve.
By collaborating on a weekly basis and grounding the decisions in
student work samples, we can expect scholar’s overall performance to
increase exponentially.

measured by weekly meeting agendas and calendar holds.

By December of 2021, at least 75% of teachers will have hosted at least one student work
analysis meeting and implemented a data informed strategy as measured by PLC meeting
agendas, observations and lesson plans.

By June of 2022, 100% of teachers will have hosted at least one student work analysis meeting
and implemented a data informed strategy as measured by PLC meeting agendas, observations
and lesson plans.

By June of 2022, all departments will have implemented the SWA protocol on a consistent
weekly basis resulting in at least 65% of scholars passing all classes as measured by the end of
