Annual Student Outcome Goal Plan

School Counselor Alyssa Johnson School Year 2023-24

Identify and describe outcome data (achievement, attendance or discipline) that serves as basis
for goal:
To increase attendance among homeless students. To do this, there will be weekly 30-minute
individual counseling for 5 students. The school counselor will also meet with parents in-person
to provide families with resources and discuss a positive behavior plan to increase student
attendance. The students and school counselor will have an attendance sheet to monitor their
progress.

Create a goal statement that focuses on a specific subset of students for whom intentional
strategies/interventions will be delivered and assessed.

Supplemental Data:
Analyze data related to the goal from supplemental data surveys such as school climate
surveys. Talk with stakeholders (parents, teachers, students, administrators, etc.), to gain
insight about possible factors contributing to identified problems or issues. Summarize
insights/comments from the groups below.
School counselors report: There are a total of 42 students who are homeless (18.9% of student
total). We need to provide more resources for families and help students have housing.
Teachers report: Many students come to class with no classroom supplies and teachers do not
have a classroom budget big enough to support student needs.
Administrators report: Attendance has dropped ever since COVID-19 for all students, and it has
affected vulnerable students the most. We want to increase attendance rates at school.

Parents report: We have lost our jobs since the pandemic, inflation has been rising fast, and
rent/housing are close to impossible to afford for a family.
Students report: They don’t have notebooks or cool folders like some peers.
Others report:

 Systemic Focus
Identify school or system policies, procedures or practices that create or maintain inequities
relevant to this goal.
School buses do not pick up students who live within a half mile of the school.
List 1–2 strategies that could influence systemic change related to this goal.
- School buses should pick up any student regardless of location. Asking
Kindergarteners-2nd graders to walk a half mile on roads without sidewalks are unsafe.
- Maybe having a van or short bus to pick up students near the school.
