The Annual Report is a document created by my charter school by collecting different

data that is based on student academics. The goals that are found in the document focus on

student growth in reading and incorporating best teaching practices. Data is collected from

teachers from their action plans, state testing, and student work. Action plans are created for

new or struggling teachers. The data shows what improvement needs to be made to help

students achieve academic success. The goals show how the schools plans on achieving them

such as differentiated instruction and providing teachers with coaches and support. Professional

development will be provided to target areas found in the report. For example, one goal is that

students will meet their reading levels according to the Fountas and Pinnell correlation chart.

Teachers will receive training or support with that program. Additionally, instructional strategies

are listed such as guided reading groups and tiered activities. Data will be collected from student

running records that test their reading level to determine what is working and what will be to be

changed.

The Annual Report shows ways to incorporate data and best practices to benefit student

growth. There is continuous improvement by implementing what works into the school

programs and daily practices found in classrooms. Accommodations and modifications are

provided for teachers and students as the year progresses. The new data is collected and

reviewed for the following year. This is how goals are determined for the report and how

students maintain academics to set out the mission and vision of the school.
