 * Welcome to Goals2011-12!**

This year I am working on 3 SMART goals, one each in the areas of personal/professional, organizational, and student/staff performance. **SMART** goals are **S**pecific, **M**easurable, **A**ttainable, **R**ealistic and **T**imely. My goals are
 * 1) to increase the number of families participating in inter-generational literacy activities through collaboration with the adult education program, the vocational program, and Dike-Newell Elementary School. The main objective is to increase each family's involvement in their children's literacy learning. I will establish appropriate space for the Sail Into Literacy program at Dike-Newell School, where many of the children will be attending school in Grades Kindergarten, first and second. With the assistance of our Title 1 reading teacher, we will model effective literacy interaction three days a week for 30 minutes each day, and at several literacy events in the evening throughout the school year. We will offer incentives for participation in our literacy activities.
 * 2) to raise expectations for what all learners can accomplish. The objective is to examine current beliefs among staff members about reading/writing connections, with an eye to developing a consistent set of beliefs and practices across the grades. Research shows that high schoolwide expectations are more likely to bring high student achievement. I will be leading the staff in professional development using the Regie Routman Professional Development program, Reading/Writing Connections.
 * 3) to increase the number of students making 10% growth in reading as measured by DRA2 assessments, Clay's Observation Survey, and Children's Progress of Academic Achievement, as well as other local assessments. We will continue to fine tune our Response to Intervention process in literacy at all grade levels. I will provide specific time for targeted intervention, as well as time to collaborate with peers to analyze data, determine targeted skills, and appropriate instruction; and develop thorough and appropriate documentation. I will employ a literacy specialist for consultation, coaching, and professional development.
