Section III Tab 6: Priority Performance Challenges Continue to identify the student-centered academic issues most concerned about addressing during the 20-21 school year. These challenges must be linked to the information shared in the Current Performance section. This may be related to qualitative or quantitative student outcomes.

Section III Tab 7: Root Cause Analysis Is a (main) root cause Covid? YES! But remember to focus on things under school control.

Section IV Tab 1: Major Improvement Strategies Continue prior MIS? 20-21 Learning Plan as MIS? How will you address learning gaps?

Section IV Tab 2: Planning Form (Action Steps/ Implementation Benchmarks) This section may serve as your academic implementation plan for your return to school plan for 20-21. This may include as much detail as you like, but at a minimum should give a cohesive plan for each of the Major Improvement Strategies outlined on the prior tab.

Section IV Tab 2: Planning Form Implementation Benchmarks Instruction may pivot between remote and in- person What are your expectations for teachers and staff? Who will be monitoring?

Section IV Tab 2: Planning Form Action Steps What needs to happen prior to instruction beginning? How will you support implementation? How will your school fund the actions above?

Section IV Tab 4: Target Setting During the 20-21 school year, this may include setting non-traditional targets. Set state assessment targets and READ targets Focus on formative/interim targets Please note, all targets must still be associated with a Priority Performance Challenge.
