CLASSROOM STRATEGIC GOAL​

   
​  Brenda Clark, one of the consultants during the LEAPP training stated,
“A goal without a measure is just a wish”.  
 She also explained that a classroom strategic goal is also known as a “SMART” goal.

                                                                                        Specific
                                                                              Measurable
                                                                              Aligned to Requirements
                                                                              Results Focused
                                                                              Time Framed

​     A classroom strategic goal indicates a learning target for a group of students that spans an entire school year.  It specifies when the goal must be met and how it will be measured.
     Since fluency and accuracy are an important aspect of reading to support comprehension for all children, a strategic goal was created to address this Common Core Standard.  The following example was crafted for the students and posted in the room.

                                                          
​                                                                                       By June, 2016, all students in grades K-3
                                                                                 will demonstrate fluency at the 50th
                                                                           percentile with 95% accuracy, as measured
                                                                                on grade level AIMSweb fluency probes.
