5	Reflect on 2020-2021 TSSA Plan -- Consider the following questions or create your own: How has our TSSA plan supported our schools' vision, mission, and beliefs? How has our plan supported the District's vision, mission, and beliefs? How has our plan improved school performance and student academic achievement? What action steps have had the greatest impact on school performance and student achievement? What have we learned? What are our next steps?
6	Last year's goal was to increase Valley's graduation rate to 67% or above. We are thrilled to say that we made it! Our graduation rate was 74%. We attribute our success to several things: 1. Being in Turnaround has demanded significant self-reflection and goal-setting. Through the Turnaround process, we have created a strong leadership team that is committed to representing our teachers and supporting our PLC. 2. Our mission is to empower students as agents of their own lifelong success and what better proof of that than a continually increasing graduation rate? This goal will never slip to the back of our minds again.

14	Gather and review evidence of school improvement and academic achievement to identify needs and create 2020-2021 TSSA plan and goals. Evidence could include: school vision and mission, existing school plans (Land trust, Accreditation, 60-day action plans, etc.), JELL Self-Assessment, PLC meeting notes, school data (Tableau dashboards, stakeholder surveys, benchmarks, Acadience, Data Gateway, etc.) USBE categories: academic achievement, academic growth, WIDA, advanced coursework, graduation rate, ACT

18		Component 1: Safe, Supportive and Collaborative Culture
19		Component 2: Effective Teaching and Learning in Every Classroom
20		Component 3: Guaranteed and Viable Curriculum
21		Component 4: Standards-Referenced Instruction and Reporting
22
23	Review and summarize available school data in order to determine school goal(s).
24
25		We will continue to use graduation rate data until we are out of Turnaround. Even then, we will still keep it in mind so we do not let it put us in Turnaround status again. We are hoping that the class of 2021 graduate rate is at least 80%, but we are still waiting on those numbers. When we have had 2 years of 67% or above and we are out of Turnaround, then we will expand our goals to include other data. We feel that getting out of Turnaround is our top priority.
