Needs Assessment/ Data Review Results (SWP 1, 11, 12, 13, 14, 17, 18)
● A comprehensive needs assessment of the entire school, (including taking into account the needs of migratory children as defined in Section 1309(2)) that is based on information
which includes the achievement of children in relation to the state academic content standards and the state student academic achievement standards described in Section
1111(b)(1).
● Description of how individual student assessment results and interpretation will be provided to parents.
● Provisions for the collection and disaggregation of data on the achievement and assessment results of students.
● Provisions to ensure that disaggregated assessment results for each category are valid and reliable.
● Provisions for public reporting of disaggregated data.
● Plan available to the LEA, parents, and the public.
● Plan translated, to the extent feasible, into any language that a significant percentage of the parents of participating students in the school speak as their primary language.

SMART GOAL #1 (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Results-Based, and Time-Bound) (SWP 2, 7, 9, 10) ● Schoolwide reform strategies that:
● Provide opportunities for all children to meet the state’s proficient and advanced levels of student academic achievement described in Section 1111(b)(1)(D).
● Use effective methods and instructional strategies that are based on scientifically based research that:
o strengthen the core academic program in the school.
o increase the amount and quality of learning time, such as providing and extended school year and before- or after-school and summer programs and opportunities, and help provide
an enriched and accelerated curriculum
● include strategies for meeting the educational needs of historically underserved populations
● Include strategies to address the needs of all children in the school, but particularly the needs of low-achieving children and those at risk of not meeting the state student achievement
standards who are members of the target population of any program that is included in the schoolwide program which may include:
o counseling, pupil services, and mentoring services;
o college and career awareness and preparation, such as college and career guidance, personal finance education, and innovative teaching methods, which may include applied
learning and team-teaching strategies; and
o the integration of vocational and technical education programs;
o Address how the school will determine if such needs have been met; and
● Are consistent with, and are designed to implement, the state and local improvement plans, if any
● Plans for assisting preschool children in the transition from early childhood programs, such as Head Start, Even Start, Early Reading First, or a state-run preschool program, to local elementary
school programs.
● Activities to ensure that students who experience difficulty mastering the proficient or
advanced levels of academic achievement standards required by Section 1111(b)(1) shall be provided with effective, timely additional assistance, which shall include measures to ensure that
students’ difficulties are identified on a timely basis and to provide sufficient information on which to base effective assistance.
● Coordination and integration of federal, state, and local services and programs, including programs supported under this Act, violence prevention programs, nutrition programs, housing
programs, Head Start, adult education, vocational and technical education, and job training
