| Progress Toward Goals - 2013 |

Progress made toward prior program year goals |
| Goal #1 |
In alignment with the criteria outlined in our goals, we currently have 56% of our teachers on track to making solid gains, 17% on track to making significant gains, 19% making limited growth, and 10% whose progress is being determined. In order to assure we are on track to raising these percentages to meet our end of year goals, we are targeting teacher development by aligning professional development workshops and coaching with a focus on differentiation and remediation/re-teaching, to set our teachers up to target their students who are struggling. We will support them in creating a summative assessment and backwards plan their instruction for the last quarter of the year. By implementing these strategies, we hope to see teachers who are currently on the cusp of solid gains move to significant and those with limited growth move to solid. We currently have 85% of teachers using high quality assessments, which is another area where we will provide targeted support at this time of year. |
| Goal #2 |
2012 teachers: 93% are on track to complete their 2-year commitment. We are on track to meeting this goal, as a result of the ongoing support we have provided to our 2012 teachers.
2013 teachers: 93% are on track to complete their first year of teaching. We are not on track to reach our goal of 97% retention with our first year teachers in particular. As a result, we are currently prioritizing the creation of individualized plans for our teachers who are struggling and increasing the differentiation of our support. |
| Goal #3 |
We currently have 75% of our recent program completers teaching for a 3rd year, in alignment with our goal. We have 67% of our recent program completers teaching for a third year in Massachusetts, in alignment with the second part of this goal. |
