Alignment of these three factors, shared vision, curricular goals and instructional objectives is clear through this collaborative plan, as all curriculum and human resources issues are multifaceted and the whole of the school is involved in meeting goals that will create a standard for the realization of the shared vision.
To achieve these goals within the specialized environment of this school the school has set 6 definitive outcomes goals to prove the success of the plan.
1. By June 2005, 60% of students in grades 6-8 meeting DOE Accountability Rule will score Level 3 and above on the FCAT Reading Test.
2. By June 2005, 60% of students in grades 6-8 meeting DOE Accountability Rule will score a Level 3 and above on the FCAT Math Test.
3. By June 2005, 100% of teachers and 30% of paraprofessionals at New River Middle School will meet the highly qualified status as defined in the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001.
4....
By June 2005, 75% of the parents/guardians of New River Middle School students will communicate with school staff in decisions regarding their child's education.
5. By June 2005, 55% of the 8th grade students will score a 4.0 or above on the FCAT Writing Test.
6. By June 2005, the mean score on the Science FCAT will be 287, the district average.
Recognizing the needs of the whole environment to meet goals based on outcomes testing and traditional and well tested systems for determining outcomes the school demonstrates clear goals and standards that can be repeated and responded to when problems arise or curriculum or training needs need to be changed from year to year.
