  2. What is Great About Our School? • Individualized approach to learning for every scholar • Family atmosphere for every parent, caregiver, and community partner • Highly effective and dedicated teachers and support staff • A diverse student and staff that is representative of our city, state, and nation • Strong instructional program supportive of diverse learners

  3. 2014 Teacher Working Conditions Survey Results • We had strong performance (above district, NC Elementary and NC Schools in the majority of areas) • Time, Facilities & Resources, Community Support & Involvement, Managing Student Conduct, School Leadership, Professional Development, Instructional Practices & Support.

  6. Growth Opportunities • Student achievement gaps: We have a large group of children, despite the best efforts of our teachers and staff, who are more than 2 years below grade level. We need to do something different. • Differentiated Master Schedule: Diverse learners need a master schedule matched to their learning needs, but currently all students receive the same amount of time for instruction. We need to do something different. • Teacher workload: It is challenging for teachers to plan high quality instruction (think: projects, assessments, daily lessons, and engaging activities) for reading, writing, math, social studies and science. We need to do something different. • Teacher career progression: Many teachers desiring increased pay often have to leave the classroom and our school. We need to do something different.
