603.2R1 Long Range Needs Assessment Process

Process for Determining Student Achievement Goals

• Individual teachers collect course data from ITBS, ITED Item Analysis, and other sources.
• Building Improvement Teams review and analyze data.
• Classroom Teachers share data with Department Curriculum Teams.
• Curriculum Teams analyze data.
• Curriculum Teams recommend an Achievement Goal for their department.
• The Long-Range Needs Committee reviews data and recommends the Achievement Goal to the Board of Education.

OR

• The Long-Range Needs Committee recommends a change in the goal.
• The Curriculum Team then reconsiders the data and recommends a modified or new Achievement Goal
• The modified or new goal is considered by the Long-Range Needs Committee and if the Committee concurs, the goal is sent to the Board with a recommendation of approval. If the Committee is still unwilling to recommend the goal, they either develop their own goal or send it back to the Curriculum Team for more work.

THEN

• Spirit Lake CSD Board acts on Student Achievement Goal.
• If the Board approves the recommended Achievement Goal it is adopted.
• If the Board is does not approve the recommended Achievement Goal, the goal either returns to the Committee for more work or the Board could suggest an Achievement Goal to adopt.
