• What is a Professional Learning Community?
• Johnson School Exclusives
County Goals
Two County Goals are established at each school.
Goals are created using data collected by teachers.
Need + action research = student improvement
Grade 1 – Number Sense
Number sense is a valuable concept, a building block on which 1st graders can begin to form a universal knowledge base.
Students will be asked to identify numbers before, after and between specific numbers on a hundreds chart. Students will be asked to identify 1 more, 1 less, 10 more, 10 less, than specified numbers on a hundreds chart.
Pre and post assessments given and compared.
Grade 3 – Literacy
“Running with Running Records”All students are expected to make gains as a result of our Guided Reading Program.
Through increase training in Running Records, our 3rd grade teachers will be able to utilize their data interpretation skills to more accurately inform their small group instruction.
Data will be collected at the beginning of the year and at the beginning of each marking period.
We anticipate that by the end of 3rd grade, 90% of students will be reading at a Level P, or have made a gain of at least 3 reading levels or higher.
Not all goals are academic. Students are also expected to demonstrate positive behaviors in
Non-academic areas.

What is a Professional Learning Community?
In a Professional Learning Community, we ask the questions –
• What do we want children to learn?• How will we know that they’ve learned it?• What will we do if they have learned it?• What will we do it they come to class already
having mastered the material?
How do we know if students have learned?
