WHAT HAPPENED TO OUR OVERALL ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE IN THE 2012-2013 SCHOOL YEAR?
Answer: We responded with the “cosmetics of achievement”
2 Key Questions:• Do we have the right strategy?• Do we have a problem with
implementation?
Why is it important for the Sandusky City Schools to perform at a level consistent or better than our competitors?
What is our game plan for the 2013-2014 School Year?
• Implement the Next Level Instructional Plan at all levels
• Our Standard will be to become a “A” District at all levels
• Every academic effort must be aligned to achieving this goal
• Increased Accountability• Calling Out Inferior Work and
Correcting Ineffective Instruction
KEEP IN MIND THAT THE ACHIEVEMENT STANDARS ARE
RAISED NEXT YEAR. WE HAVE TO BE ABLE TO MEET A HIGHER
PERCENTAGE FOR THE UPCOMING GRADE CARD.
