Learning Goal: ​ To improve the academic outcomes of students of poverty that are enrolled in regular education
classes and ensure that they are showing growth in reading and/or math from Fall to Spring. 50% of our students
of poverty that are in regular education classes and have scored “Not Met” in at least one content area on PASS will
meet their Spring MAP goals in Reading and/or Math.

Strategies/Activities -What will I do to 1. Study school’s historical data as it relates to students of poverty
accomplish my goal(s)? 2. Develop a list of our students of BMS’ regular educations students that also qualify for
Free/Reduced lunch and have scored Not Met in at least one content area.
3. Progress Monitor these students data by working with data team to develop a data wall
for these students using previous years’ PASS scores, and current year’s MAP scores,
along with students ‘ classroom assessment data.
4. Work with students to set academic and behavioral goals
5. Assist students towards meeting academic and behavioral goals by conferencing with
Students and checking in with students regularly to assess how they are progressing
towards goal.
6. Redefine goals as needed.

Progress-How will I measure progress 1. Students will graph their MAP progress after each MAP administration and keep
track of their progress to determine if they are making gains.
2. Goals will be re-defined based on whether students are being successful (or not).
3. MAP scores will be used to measure students’ overall academic gains
4. The data team will meet at a minimum, 3 times during the school year to review,
analyze and chart MAP scores/data for the identified students.
5. Three data review sessions will be held with students, Fall review, Winter review &
Spring data review.

The data team created BMS’ first ever data room. Team goals had to be re-defined as
administrators were told that students’ lunch status needed to be kept confidential. As a result
the data team re-defined this goal utilizing students that scored Not Met in ELA or Math on the
previous year’s SC PASS test. Students’ suggested MAP goals as determined via NWEA were

Page 9 of 34
Principal Professional Development Plan

utilized as all students academic goals for the purpose of MAP and data tracking. The team
redefined the behavioral component. As such, students did not establish behavioral goals,
rather, students behavior/discipline was monitored to determine if their participation in the
Charger Zone after school program and afterschool club/mentoring programs contributed to
a decline in negative behavior/discipline offenses.
Strategic Planning-How does my goal This goal is part of BMS’ strategic plan:
support or is supported by the
school’s/district’s strategic plan? 1.Provide engaging academic strategies to prepare students for the 21st century

1.1 Analyze multiple sources of data to identify trends and areas of need.

1.2 Create a rigorous and challenging environment that challenges every student and prepares
them for high school

1.3 Utilize a variety of strategies to support continuous improvement at BMS

Personal Growth-How does my goal I am looking forward to going back to school in the near future. One area that I would like to
support my personal professional focus my attention on is students of poverty and what it takes to get these students to
growth? succeed academically. By focusing my attention on this subgroup, I will gain valuable insight
into the needs of this population.

Page 10 of 34
 Principal Professional Development Plan

Character Goal: T ​o promote exemplary character and continued lifeskill development in our students of poverty
that are in regular education classes that have scored “Not Met" PASS in at least one content area by providing
these students with teacher mentors, academic and behavioral goal setting activities and increased school activities
and programs aimed at providing these students with additional support and assistance beyond the regular
classroom environment. 50% of our teacher of these will respond via survey instrument, improved behavioral
outcomes as a result of the students’ assistance beyond the traditional classroom environment.

Strategies/Activities -What will I do to

accomplish my goal(s)? 1)​​Work with the school’s data team to monitor identified students’ academic and behavioral
goals that have been set and work with student to assist them toward accomplishing
these goals.

2)​​Provide identified students with faculty/staff mentors that they can work with
toward developing improved character/life skills

Progress-How will I measure progress. 1) Teachers of identified students will take surveys regarding students behavior as it relates to
their behavioral goal that they have set.

2) Assess referral rates, in-school suspension rates, in-school detention rates and suspension
rates for identified students. Incident rates for identified students will decrease by 50%.

The team redefined the behavioral component. As such, students did not establish behavioral
goals, rather, students behavior/discipline was monitored to determine if their participation in
the Charger Zone after school program and afterschool club/mentoring programs contributed
to a decline in negative behavior/discipline offenses. Survey results reveal that because students
are not required to participate in the program, and because exact behavioral goals were not set
per students a during the day required advisor/advisee program would better help track this
type of data.
