10/25/2021 The Week in Reflection: 10/29Reflecting on Quarter 1
We are so proud of our students and our teachers' efforts to focus on the eminent core value of achievement. Together, we will continue to refine what we do by analyzing how we can continue to move from good to great! Over the years, we have demonstrated strong success stories of mastery against the standards. For the fourth year since reconfiguration, our students have met the mark of high achievement for all students where learning is the most important work!
2021 1st Quarter Grade Level GPA Eighth 3.18 Freshman 2.85 Sophomore 3.32 Junior 3.17 Senior 3.27 CHS [8-12] 3.16 1128 students We are proud to share the results from the current completed quarter (1st quarter). Within all of the barriers faced the last twenty two months, the focus on high achievement for all students remained strong. The outcomes demonstrate great achievements at first glance. When you dig deeper into the data, we are able to see trends to help us gauge where we as educators need to celebrate, and where we can show even greater growth. What stands out as a significant data point is the Class of 2022 and 2023. This was the group of students that came into the high school during reconfiguration. They have matured and catapulted themselves into an extraordinary group of high achievers. The interventions, Circuits, Mentoring Program, and strong collaboration between our teachers can now be seen as an indicator for all of us that the plan was executed well. We have to pause and celebrate the work of our teachers and our students. Together, they have much to celebrate. The work of our mission is never complete, and the work to align standards, strategies, and assessments is an ever-evolving task to help students master learning outcomes to be successful for future-readiness in the 4 E's: Enrollment, Enlistment, Employment, and Entrepreneurship. The data also gives us opportunities to target grade level bands to create boosters and targeted learning sessions for students to help them move towards individual and building level goals.
The compass, road map, and GPS to all that we do is our mission statement which is enhanced through the magnifying lens of our core values. All of the outcomes in which we gauge learners filters through the creativity, communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and community connections that all of our educators emphasize in the day to day interactions with students. Through this daily encounter of learning, our students become exposed to programs, supports, and pathways that help guide them to find their individual purpose. Over the last four years, we have placed so much attention on refining the outcomes of our mission. Whereas the culture and climate at Chardon High School remains an essential focus---our targeted learning outcomes, and educational strategies help gauge all learners to learn each standard. This important work is never done, and it is so important to carry forward into the second quarter our routines and focus towards our goals--including the choices we make that help us stay strong.
