The Lanier Cluster Vertical Team will redeliver professional learning sessions at each cluster school.

2.     The Lanier Cluster Vertical Team will create common learning walk forms designed to promote consistency and accountability for new learning across the cluster.

3.     All Level I ML learners will spend 60 minutes per week on Imagine Learning.  

4.     Teachers will meet two times per week with their Collaborative Learning Team (CLT) to focus on the following questions:

a.    How will we know if the students learned it?

b.    What will we do if students do not learn it?

c.    What will we do if students already know it?

5.     Teachers will provide data-driven small group instruction in math and ELA

6.     Building instructional framework capacity in ELA and math through structured PD. This will include modeling, learning walks, and peer observations. 

7.     The MTSS team will analyze data to be more prescriptive when targeting each students’ needs.

8.     Full Gwinnett Writes implementation in 4th and 5th grade

9.     Students will track their iReady target and stretch goals

10.  Implement a Parent workshop series around supporting the whole child.

• Increase the percentage of ML students that moved one or more bands on ACCESS:

• Baseline: 46%

• Target: 49%

• Stretch: 50-53%

• Increase the percentage of students scoring Proficient or Distinguished on GMAS in ELA, math, and science (5th)

• iReady: Increase the median percent progress toward Typical Growth during 1st semester

 Increase opportunities for families to engage in their child’s development.

1, Implement a Parent workshop series around supporting the whole child

2. Create a literacy committee to align existing resources (book room/media center) with EL Education modules

3. Sycamore staff will utilize technology, translation services, and bilingual staff to engage families in multiple languages at Sycamore events to ensure that all families have access to information that will support their students.

4. Students’ academic and non academic needs are supported through a comprehensive school counseling program that incorporates an active school wide attendance plan designed to keep students in school.

5. During Play 2 Learn, participating parents and children aged five will meet twice a week for 90 minutes with a certified teacher to learn how to nurture children’s foundational skill development. New families will continue to be recruited to join Play 2 Learn. 

6. All students at Sycamore will participate in “Clubs for All” with the goal of giving each and every student the opportunity to engage in a rigorous, and culturally relevant curriculum that extends and enriches their learning experience during the school day.

7. The Sycamore Parent Liaison will focus on family engagement with the goal of building the capacity of parents/family members to support student success. Family Engagement, as well as daily ongoing individualized supports, will be a part of our engagement plan.

Increase the percentage of students that were present 90% or more days from

88.2% during the 24-25 school year to

91.2% during the 25-26 school year.
