Academics & Programs

GLPS will align academic programs to meet individual needs and improve student achievement.

2022-2023

Districtwide Goals

  1. By the end of the 2022-2023 school year, student achievement will improve from fall to spring, as measured by K-8 NWEA growth, MSTEP growth, reduction in 9-12 failure rates, and PSAT to SAT growth.
  2. Each year, we will use a framework to ensure that we are meeting the needs of all students by supporting all staff.
  3. By the end of the 2022-2023 school year, we will develop a plan for the redesign of our continuum of services in special education.
  4. During the 2021-2022 school year, all elementary and intermediate schools developed a system to allow teachers to observe other teachers in a collaborative culture in order to increase collaboration around identified instructional strategies to differentiate instruction for students. This will continue in 2022-2023 and 2024.

Building Specific Goals

GLHS

  1. Our instructional improvement goal is to increase the frequency, consistency, and quality of our intentionally planned and engaging instructional strategies throughout the building and each class period.
  2. By the end of the 2023-2024 school year, we will improve consistency of essential learning elements or skills within each department. All teachers within each department will utilize the same focus area as well as establish a tool and goal for growth measurement throughout the 2021-2022 school year. 85% of students will meet the growth improvement goal for each department each year.  
  3. By the end of the 2023-2024 school year, we will identify the learning gaps and/or dips of our 9th and 10th grade students, and embed tier-one skill development into Comet Care and Connect time to increase skill level in those gaps and/or dips. This goal will decrease IEP and 504 referrals, decrease long-term absences due to mental health concerns, and decrease course failures.
