Instructional Focus
Strengthen Core Instruction: Talk/Discuss to Build Language and Knowledge
-Teachers will engage in professional learning opportunities, whereby they will reflect upon and refine their practice to encourage students to engage in discussion that deepens language and knowledge. Teachers will continue to build instructional practices that encourage interactions among students.
-Collaborative teacher teams will meet regularly to analyze student work, share ideas and resources, and create a bridge to practice where planning and implementation are aligned to our goals.

CEP Goals
ELA
By June 2020, 20% of students will achieve a Level 4 on the ELA exam. We will strengthen our instructional core in ELA/Literacy to ensure curriculum is standards-aligned and that it addresses the needs of all learners, by providing the professional supports needed to maintain the integrity of our literacy programs. All students will engage in regular discussions with peers across content areas, thus building academic language skills. Professional learning for our teachers will be driven by the Instructional Leadership Team (ILT) and focus on our Priority Area: Strengthen Core Instruction. Our work this year will prioritize building language and knowledge through discussion
Math
We will adjust our focus around our instructional core in Math to ensure that curriculum is standards-aligned and addresses the needs of all learners, including English Language Learners and Students with Disabilities. By June 2020, students will demonstrate at least a 3.1 /4 proficiency in the benchmark complex task, measuring the application of mathematical reasoning and concepts.
