4. How do your teachers measure student accomplishments and how are these
accomplishments recorded? Do teachers use rubrics?
Currently, student accomplishments are measured by formative and
summative assessments. Formative assessments are compared within the
school and to other schools in the district and summative assessments are
compared to the district and state expectations.
Some teachers use rubrics on a regular basis; others only use rubrics
during project based learning. The goal is for rubric usage to seamlessly
be incorporated in all that my teachers and students do.
6. As the instructional leader, what 2-3 goals would you have for your school
regarding student learning? Which would be your top priority? How will
you communicate these expectations especially for the high priority goal?
Goal 1: By the end of the school year, each student should grow at least 5-
10 points on each taken EOG.
Goal 2: By the end of the school year, we will exceed growth and have at
least a 5-10 % gain in proficiency (composite score) on EOG tests as
measured by my district (and compared to the state).
7. How will you ensure this information to make the kinds of instructional
decisions that would result in achieving your priority goal?

Why do you think Irerdell-Statesville chose this design for their School
Improvement Plans? What does that tell you about the districts strategic leadership
and instructional Leadership? Finally, how might a system like the PDSA SIP assist
you as a new principal to a school?
I believe Irerdell-Statesville chose this design because they understand that education is
very fluid and implementing a user-friendly, PDSA SIP template such as they did can
serve as the guide to creating an effective SIP to include the voice of and show the
accountability of students, staff, community, school, and the district while noting areas of
continuous improvement. This decision lets me know that this district thinks about the
betterment of their individual schools and receiving input from all stakeholders within the
district thus having a concern for meeting the needs its students. As a new principal this
document can serve as a guide to simplify the SIP process and increase the effectiveness
of my facilitation of creating a SIT and SIP with the team I will serve. It will assist with
building relationships within the community I serve and the stakeholders of the school.
