Strategic Goals: Performance Indicators

MACS Districtwide Shared Decision Team 1

Strategic Goals: A. Curriculum

We will promote student learning that is aligned with a relevant curriculum and is consistent with rigorous standards.

B. Instruction

We will use instructional techniques that encourage all students, regardless of initial perceived ability level or learning style, to take ownership in their own learning.

C. Culture

We will create and maintain a culture of learning where all participants – staff, students, and families – feel safe, supported, and respected as partners.

Pathway to Readiness:  Grade 1: Reading, Writing and Numeracy  Beginning Grade 3: At or above grade level Reading, Writing and Numeracy  NYS Grades 3 – 8: At or above grade level Reading, Writing and Numeracy  Grade 9: Integrated Algebra (80% or better), Writing and Literacy Mastery; on track for graduation with 6 credits  Grade 10: On track with credits and exams for graduation  Grade 11: ELA (75% or better), Algebra 2/Trig  Grades 10 – 12: AP/ACT/SAT/PLTW Participation and Performance; Career Technical Education Attainment  Graduation and beyond

Performance Indicators Mexico Academy and Central Schools have made steady progress in many areas (as indicated by increased aspirational performance measures and graduation rates); however, there are many opportunities for improvement. One challenge is ensuring that we assess student learning in meaningful ways so that strategic interventions can be designed and implemented. We are taking steps to implement programs and services in a manner that enables us to monitor and support student learning at continuous intervals (via STAR and benchmarks) to respond rapidly in order to prevent failure and sustain student progress.
