__ IV. Reflection __ V. Learning Communities

Step 1 Professional Growth Goal: To improve my teaching effectiveness in the School’s Greatest Area of
Need Subject and Indicators. The subject is Reading and the Indicators are letter/sound identification,
decoding CVC words (blending), and Reading Literature (character, setting and plot).

Standard Indicator 2.8: Uses a variety of assessment techniques to enhance knowledge of learners,
evaluate student progress and performance, and modify teaching and learning strategies.

Step 2 Your rationale for choosing this goal.

If I improve my effectiveness in teaching Reading and Indicators for letter/sound identification,

decoding CVC words (blending), and Reading Literature (character, setting and plot) then my student
outcomes improve.

MISSION STATEMENT
We the faculty, staff and parents of Juan M. Guerrero Elementary School are dedicated to the educational growth and achievement of our students
within a positive learning environment in order to be productive citizens.
Step 3 Evidence of Professional Growth/Evidence of Student Growth (e.g., tools, samples, reports,
rubrics, forms, grade reports, agenda, minutes, portfolios, etc.)

KINDERGARTEN ELA SMART GOAL: By the end of SY 2017-2018, 100% of my

kindergarten students will show growth in Reading Foundational Skills as measured by 35th
percentile or higher on AIMS Web Early Literacy Test (Letter Naming, Letter Sounds, Phoneme
Segmentation, Non-Sense Words)

The following scores are baseline data for Letter Naming. All 4 areas (letter/sound identification,
phenome segmentation and non-sense words) will be assessed during Winter and Spring
benchmark.
39 % of my students at Tier I will be proficient according to Grade Level criteria in letter/sound
identification, Phoneme segmentation and non-sense words, as measured by the AIMSWeb
Assessment by the end of the school year.

9 % of my students at Tier II will be proficient according to Grade Level criteria in letter/sound

identification, phoneme segmentation and non-sense words, as measured by AIMSWeb
Assessment by the end of the school year.

52 % of my students at Tier III will be basic to proficient according to Grade Level criteria in
letter/sound identification, phoneme segmentation and non-sense words, as measured by
AIMSWeb Assessment by the end of the school year.

As evidence of Professional Growth/Evidence of Student Growth, I will provide an online website

with the following:

 AIMS Web assessment scores for Fall, Winter and Spring (Assessment for Letter/Sound
Identification)

 Graphs showing student growth based on assessments (AIMS Web assessment scores- Fall,
Winter and Spring)

 Lesson plans and activities during ELA and ELA Intervention block focused on letter/sound
identification, phenome segmentation and non-sense words, that are aligned with the district’s
adopted curriculum recognizing the needs, learning styles, and performance of diverse learners.
Lesson plans and/or intervention activities for each of the Greatest Areas of Need in
kindergarten ELA.

 Assessments in which students are evaluated to show student growth and performance, enhance
knowledge of learners, and modify teaching and learning strategies.
