A 5 Step Process
1. READINGAt least 54% of all students will be proficient in Reading, as measured by the annual state-wide PSSA assessments.
2. MATHEMATICSAt least 45% of all students will be proficient in Mathematics, as measured by the annual state-wide PSSA assessments.
3. STUDENT PARTICIPATION IN STATE ASSESSMENTSAt least 95% of eligible students will participate in required state-wide assessments.
4. STUDENT ATTENDANCEStudent attendance in school will improve continuously (to an average of at least 90% by 2014).
5. FOUR-YEAR GRADUATION RATE (high schools only)The 4-year graduation rate for high school students will increase consistently (to at least 80% by 2014).
2006-2007 Student Achievement Improvement Targets *
* If your school has already met these targets for all students and student groups, consider setting your own challenging, ‘stretch’ targets that will ensure continuous improvement of instructional practices and student
achievement.
Every school improvement plan must address the following areas of student success:

Root Causes
A Root Cause is the deepest underlying cause or causes of positive or negative symptoms within any process, which if removed, would result in elimination, or substantial reduction, of the symptom.
Why Root Cause Analysis ?
Root Cause Analysis:
• helps to eliminate the problem, not just the symptom
• conserves scarce resources
• promotes discussion and reflection
• provides rationale for strategy selection
Determining Root Causes
Will correcting or eliminating this root cause result in success?
If yes, then it is a root cause.
If no, then it is a contributing factor.
