On-time Graduation Rate: 

• 70% of  English Language Learning (ELL) students will be enrolled in a course at, or above, AFDA/Algebra 2 and pass the mathematics course.

Proficiency:

Growth to Proficiency Sub-Goals: 

• 85% of students in grades 7-12 will show improvement by consistently applying Shift 8 strategies (from looking at correct answers toward looking for students' thinking) into their problem-solving process.

Strategies:

• Strategy 1   Teachers will shift  from looking at correct answers toward looking for students’ thinking. Teachers will unpack Content Emphases and identify specific vocabulary, strategies, or representations that are important to notice based on the learning intentions.

• Strategy 2  Teachers will shift  from looking at correct answers toward looking for students’ thinking. Teachers will identify and plan 'look fors' in student observation, student responses to questions, and written work to determine what students understand.

• Strategy 3  Teachers will shift  from looking at correct answers toward looking for students’ thinking. Teachers will look for evidence of student thinking vs correct answers; basic, intermediate, or disciplinary. Teachers intentionally group students based on what students understand related to specific strategies or representations.

• Strategy 4  Parent and Community Engagement: Teachers monitor students progress related to the specific strategies or representations and communicate students progress to parents and families.

ESSER III Wellness

Outcome: Ensure students feel safe, included, and supported in the school environment.

Goal:

As indicated on the Spring 2022-2023 SEL screener, at least 38% of Hayfield students grades 7-12 will indicate a positive connection with an adult at school.  This represents a 16% increase for grades 7-8 and a 11% increase for grades 9-12 as compared to the 2021-2022 school year, and aligns with the current FCPS county average.

Strategies:

• Strategy 1 Strengthen Hayfield's Tier 1 Evidenced- Based Strategies (CASEL RAM and PBIS).
