Self- assessment data indicated that attribute 2.3

increased from a developing level (2.63) to a

prepared level (3.3).

We were above 85% percent proficiency and above

the district average and comparable schools in 6-8

Reading, 6-8 Math and Math 2. We have more

students taking Math 1 than any other middle

school.

achieve this level, teachers need to participate in 30

or more hours of PD. Currently our average is

around 12 hours per teacher.

We will continue to increase teacher

professional development opportunities

throughout the year. Teachers currently rated

themselves at an early/developing level (1.7),

though the PD tracking tool indicates that all

teachers but one have completed a semester’s

worth of professional development.



Plan is to be written from December 6, 2014 to March 1, 2015.
