I like how this is outside of the normal goals. I think it's very worthwhile thing to do.

Just be careful not do duplicate service projects that BETA or NJHS are already planning.

I LOVE the idea though:)

I like the writing goal. I think it could apply to every class. Every class involves some kind of writing/grammar. I think this wouldn't be too difficult to measure.

Did you know Germanna Community College has a school-wide goal that revolves around problem solving?  "A key component...centers around the development of our Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP). Through nearly two years of extensive input, research, and development, Germanna is focusing its efforts on improving the problem solving skills of our students. The acquisition and development of this soft-skill is critical for the success of our students and graduates.

They are going to "provide extensive, professional development and training for faculty in the areas of problem solving and problem-based learning. Faculty will be infusing these strategies in their teaching."

Problem Solving is much needed

LOVE! Serving others instills self confidence and allows students to gain a sense of belonging/purpose!

This could be very rewarding for all involved and easy to measure

I think this goal (Family and Community Engagement) is such a perfect goal for the students at our school.

I grade using a writing rubric for German. Could I use this for German? My students don't write in English. :)

I like the idea of connecting the academic goal directly to PD & then "turning it around"

I think this is more of a school-wide goal..

The writing can be something as simple as an exit slip which asks students to reflect on an activity they've done, or a summary of what they've learned that day.  It can also be an explanation of a process/concept
.

Or maybe through PBL?!

I'm not sure how to realistically incorporate this into math during a crosswalk year to boot.

Does more vertical planning need to take place?

Does this mean in math when a child is asked to solve an equation they will use their notes and knowledge to solve it?

If I didn't write a referral last year.... I'm not sure how to measure this personally, individually if I didn't write a referral last year.

Would each block be responsible for a different project - or our classes as whole could work on the same project?

The grammar rubric "grade" does not need to be calculated into the assignment grade. The grammar rubric grade is recorded for the SMART goal.

With this concept in mind, how could we measure a goal like this...

Possibly consider a common grade-level rubric to assess a problem-based learning activity.
