‘ADslibarate Can A

‘The instructional framework of James Singleton Charter School must pivot
for the instructional landscape to reflect authentic growth. This includes,
butis not limited to on-going coaching and professional development, in
depth progress, and consistent rigor in deliverables.

James Singleton Charter School will triage the current state of affairs and
deliberately address student grow1h Lo mastery targels. The following
questions must be answered, addressed, and processes implemented:

Question 1; If students are nol yet achieving Mastery, are hey on track to
doing 50? The current & forecasted data suggest our students are not on
track to achieve Mastery. Therefore, we must create an end of year
achievernent level goal for each student and create a system to monitor
and support orogress,

‘Question 2: What specific blueprints can we coach teachers to develop
using a backwards design, and plan lessons that deliberately address the
non-negotiables for student success. How is the administrative and
leadership tcam going to provide ongoing coaching and support for
teachers?
