Goal 1
Goal 1: (POA) To increase the on-time graduation rate and reduce the number of 9th graders entering 10th grade credit deficient in Algebra I, our online school will implement a targeted support system for freshmen through a homeroom cohort program. This program will focus on Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and Algebra I skill development. By providing consistent, structured support in these areas, we aim to improve the Algebra I pass rate for 9th graders, setting a strong foundation for their academic success throughout high school.
- Metric: Increase the Algebra I pass rate among 9th-grade students by ten percent by the end of the academic year.
- Focus Areas: SEL development, Algebra I mastery, on-time graduation, math lab.
- Timeline: Implement during the 2024-2025 school year, with progress monitoring each quarter.
Gola 1: P4 - By the end of the school year, K-6 Track 1 students in the PDL program—focused on supporting students below proficiency—will achieve an average score increase of 30% in the essential math skills identified as critical for success at each grade level. Progress will be measured through both formative and summative assessments.
- Metric: Increase the percentage of students demonstrating proficiency in Math by 30% on end-of-year assessments.
- Focus Areas: Foundational skills in Math, ELA proficiency, engagement in Homebased, Edgenuity, and Teams tracks.
Timeline: Implement during the 2024-2025 school year, with progress monitored quarterly.
Goal 2
Goal 2: (POA) Based on mid-term exam results, Puyallup Online Academy (POA) will increase academic performance by providing targeted support to students during assigned lab sessions. These labs will focus on addressing specific standards assessed in Math, ELA, and Science mid-terms. The goal is for students to improve their understanding of these standards, resulting in an increase in the passing rate on the final exams and in the course.
- Metric: Improve proficiency rates in ELA by 15% on year-end assessments.
- Focus Areas: Individualized support for standard mastery, alignment with Homebased, Edgenuity, and Teams instruction.
- Timeline: Begin after mid-year assessments, with ongoing support and review leading up to the final assessments
Goal 3
Goal 3: (POA) Puyallup Online Academy (POA) will function as a Professional Learning Community (PLC) with a focus on student academic progress rather than pacing. This shift will involve creating mid-term and final assessments aligned with academic standards, enabling students to demonstrate their proficiency in the material, as reflected in the Edgenuity gradebook. Students who are not on pace will still have the opportunity to pass based on their mastery of standards, rather than being penalized for incomplete pacing progress.
- Metric: Increase the percentage of students passing courses based on demonstrated proficiency by 15%.
- Focus Areas: Standards-based assessments, academic progress over pacing.
- Timeline: Implement throughout the 2024-2025 school year, with regular review of assessment results and student proficiency.
Goal 3: (P4) By the end of the school year, all grade-level Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) will engage in structured 4-6 week data inquiry cycles to analyze student performance, develop targeted instructional strategies, and implement interventions, leading to a 10% increase in proficiency across key academic areas.
- Metric: Increase the percentage of students passing core subjects by demonstrating proficiency in standards by [ten percent.
- Focus Areas: Standards-based assessments, growth in Math, ELA, and Science over pacing.
- Timeline: Implement throughout the 2024-2025 school year, with regular review of assessment results and student progress.
