Steeple Run Goals

IVA03 The school’s Compact will outline the responsibilities/expectations of teachers, primary care givers, and students

• A compact is defined as a written agreement between

teachers, primary care givers and students. It is a document that clarifies what families and schools can do to help children reach high academic standards. Our school community values the school-family working relationship.

individual student needs. (Differentiation, Culturally

Responsive Practice, and Social Emotional Learning)

Professional Learning Communities

PLCs implement the plans and instruction for achieving the school goals by utilizing Four Guiding Questions:

• What do we want students to learn?
• How will we know what students have learned?
• How will we teach it?
• What will we do when students do not learn or

reach proficiency before expectations?

Organize Building Schedules

Fine Arts Schedule provides common weekly times for grade levels to meet Literacy Block Schedule supports efficient use of resources

PLC Communication

Professional Learning Communities

• Complete Error Analysis
• Highlight what students are

doing well

• Discuss where students

struggled

• Discuss what they could in

the classroom right away

• Discuss other ways to support

learners who may need additional support or enrichment
