Goal+1+-+STRATEGY+3


 * ﻿ Goal #1: __Growth and Change__ **

** Goal Statement: __To manage and adapt to the projected growth and changes the district will experience over the next six years.__ **


 * Strategy #3: The District will develop scheduling strategies to maintain our broad academic offerings, optimum class size, and effective instructional practices. ||

2. Research existing schedule structures in similar school districts to identify best practices in scheduling and alternative schedule structures that optimize building usage and improve instruction. 3. Utilize building level committees to assess school climate issues and the way in which we deliver services including issues such as class size, budget allocation, and utilization of space. 4. Continue to coordinate scheduling efforts in a collaborative fashion across all three buildings to best meet the needs of the students and the educational program. || Curriculum review cycle established. Assessment plan developed. A yearlong study with noted scheduling expert Dr. Michael Rettig was completed in 2010. Schedule changes made at each level to increase teacher common planning time, provide opportunities for Intervention/Enrichment, and provide lunch for all students at the HS. Committees, including at times whole faculty committees, have been instituted. Budget presentations by Superintendent and Business Manager have occurred during the last three years. Transition meetings 5 to 6, 8 to 9 are occurring. || Review crosswalk of PSSA Standards and Common Core Curriculum. Continue to offer professional development opportunities at Pine Road for how to best use Intervention/ Enrichment time. Continue efforts. || Explore options for online classes/ videoconferencing that could allow cross grade and cross building enrollment and possibly eliminate the use of one staff member to teach the same topic in two buildings.
