THE WALK OF SHAME
ACT scores were progressively falling
MAP & EOC scores were lagging behind the state
Few students were attending 4-year colleges & many had NO plans for post-high school
Culture of acceptance of mediocrity
Morgan County R-I was provisionally accredited
POOR OVERALL PERFORMANCE ON ACT

NON CORE ASKED…
What do we do during PLC early release?
How do we help improve test scores—MAP, EOC, ACT?
What role do we have in changing the school culture?
WHAT MAKES NON CORE HARD CORE?
Increase the rigor in their classes Set high expectations Identify course ELOs Know the results of the CCSS/MAP/EOC tests Identify CCSS (GLE/CLE) that can be reinforced
in their classroom Accountability—both students and teachers Require a research project Increase informational text reading and writing
NON CORE BUT HARD CORE

relevance/connections of what they are learning
Have a teacher on the PLC Leadership Team Every Class Needs to be Important!
MSIP 5 ACCOUNTABILITY
