Communication:                     To ensure creating a positive school climate, we must assess where the school is currently and how procedures can improve. Having parents and families involved in the process of that assessment will reveal authentic and functional results. Presenting data to school faculty about their current procedures will help them determine where families and community members feel they need to be supported. It is important to include everyone’s voices: teachers, other school staff, students, parents, and school leaders (Zakrzewski, 2013). Looking at our SIP goals, students need to be engaged in rigorous and meaningful learning with standards based lessons that are aligned to grade levels. All students will gain equal opportunity to succeed by receiving differentiated instruction that meets the diverse needs of students and allows for students to take ownership of their learning. Students will be active participants in collecting data on their performance and determining goals for enhancing their skills and learning. Data will be shared with families on a consistent basis to ensure learning opportunities continue. Teachers, students, and parents are collaborators in learning. Goals should be set based on student needs, and communicated to the families for maximum student achievement. The teacher should adjust instruction based on student readiness and learning styles, while building upon and working with student differences. Teachers will participate in professional development to gain knowledge in effective lesson planning that uses curriculum and standards to create rigorous and engaging learning opportunities.
