Instructional Point of View

Fairdale High School

Mission: To prepare each student for post-secondary education.

Vision: Fairdale will provide the highest quality learning experience for all students in every classroom

(Instruction as a collective practice). Fairdale will be a model of successful teaching and learning. Fairdale students will be critical thinkers capable of struggling with complex concepts. Fairdale

will be among the most highly desired schools in JCPS by students, parents, and employees.

Collective Commitments: We believe that all students can learn given the proper time and motivation. We commit to

working with each student on a standards-based curriculum, common assessments, and using all time available until ALL students have learned.

We believe that effective school improvement is a collaborative culture focused on student

learning. We commit to collaborate effectively, and put team before individual. We believe teachers can make the greatest difference in helping all students learn. We

commit to do what is best for students. We believe in the partnership between school and parents/guardians. We commit to

diligently create and maintain lines of communication with all involved.

Collaboration; Norms/Protocols1. Our PLC meetings are protected time.2. We address violations of our norms/protocols

Essential Standards/Scope and Sequence3. We have identified the “essential” standards to allow deeper learning4. We have daily learning targets and closing tasks that stretch the rigor

Common Assessments5. We, along with our students, know exactly what we are looking for in student

demonstrations of understanding.6. We write our assessments at the beginning of the week (unit) based on #17. We have a goal for each assessment. If the outcome is below that goal, we provide

additional Tier 1 instruction based on results.

Additional Time and Support for Students8. We only accept high quality work and we each know the exact level of work we expect.9. Our students know that rarely does one’s best work come from the first attempt.

Students are allowed multiple opportunities/revisions to demonstrate learning.10. We maximize every FLEX opportunity and take advantage of Extended Days.11. We replicate our most effective instruction during FLEX.

Data Analyzed/SMART Goal Created1. Our data collection tool allows for quick feedback to students.2. Every member has his/her data ready for every PLC meeting3. We analyze individual classroom results to identify best practices that we replicate across the

team.4. We document best practices and have a written record of our discussions from the data5. Our data analysis improves our team’s ability to achieve our SMART goal

Continuous Instructional Improvement through Common Point of View6. We regularly plan lesson improvement through the Fundamental Five practices of effective

instruction7. We understand the synergy of the Fundamental Five and plan for daily implementation of all

five• Powerzone – Of course• Lesson Frame – We are intentional about stretching the rigor• FSGPT – We use conversation to improve student understanding and retention and to

increase the rigor• Recognize/Reinforce – We plan “look fors” (academic and behavior/effort) that we will

recognize• Critical Writing – We plan for opportunities for students to make connections and/or

communicate thoughts through writing.
