SCHOOL LEVEL OBJECTIVES FOR 2009-2010

Upper Greenwood Lake School

School objective #1:  By June 2010, as an outcome of targeted instruction, 80 percent of Grade 3 students, following teacher collaboration, planning, and direct instruction, will show an improvement in the area of writing, specifically free response writing.  Students will be pre-tested in September 2009, and post-tested in June 2010.  The scoring will be in accordance with the New Jersey Holistic Scoring Rubric. Students will demonstrate an increase of one point (25 percent) or a score of four.
