Program Goals for 2009-2010
Facilities
Over the course of 2009-2010, we will hold strategic planning meetings to establish determine our future space needs and create an action plan.
Staff Development
We will continue to review our comprehensive staff evaluation process and make recommendations for improvement. We will also do more professional development in the areas relating to our school goals; reading, diversity sensitivity, and technology.
Technology
With a brand new website unveiled later this school year, we need to make sure that it is effectively being used and constantly updated. We also will work on ways to improve computer and technology literacy for students and staff.
Student Achievement
Avalon wants all students to be academically successful, but students scoring in the bottom 25% of either NWEA MAP test are less likely to stay at Avalon, less likely to graduate, and, ultimately, less likely to be academically successful. We will work on lowering the number of students achieving below 25% on either the reading or math MAP test.
