School
Improvement Plan Completed
The School Improvement Plan
for PCA is complete. For the past 1 ½ years faculty, staff,
parents, students, and community members have strived to
establish a plan to improve student achievement and learning. In
the Fall of 2004 the process of school improvement began by
developing a profile of our student body, our parents, and our
community. The profile enabled PCA to develop a list of beliefs
that drive our instruction and how the school is operated. The
list of beliefs along with our mission statement guides the
school toward the ongoing desire of inspiring excellence.
Once the list of beliefs
were created and the mission statement reviewed to ensure all
stakeholders were in agreement with them, PCA strove to design 3
broad targets areas for our students to achieve by the time they
exit the 12th grade. These were developed during the spring and
fall of 2005. These broad areas identified areas of limitation
in student learning PCA will address over the next 5 years.
The fourth part of the
School Improvement Plan involved identifying areas of limitation
in the work of the school on behalf of the students. These
limitations were identified and communicated via email to
parents. After identifying areas needing improvement concerning
student learning and organizational effectiveness, PCA developed
3 school-wide goals for improvement based upon input from our
stakeholders. Below are the goals that PCA will strive to
accomplish over the next 5 years.
School-Wide Goals for PCA:
(1) Personal and Social Responsibility-
Students will demonstrate increased levels of respect toward
faculty, staff, and property.
(2) Expanding and Integrating Knowledge-
Students will demonstrate integrated knowledge in applying
research and presentation skills.
(3) Thinking and Reasoning Skills-
Students will improve cognitive learning by applying higher
order thinking skills.
