HIJH MISSION:
Facilitate Learning & Foster Agency to empower ALL students.

PLC Big Ideas:
1. We accept Learning as the fundamental purpose of our school, and therefore we are
   willing to examine all practices in light of their impact on learning.
2. We are committed to working together to achieve our collective purpose (mission). We
   cultivate a Collaborative Culture through development of high-performing teams.
3. We assess our effectiveness on the basis of Results rather than intentions. Individuals,
   teams and school seek relevant data and information and use that information to
   provide continuous improvement.

A. Problem Statement with Baseline Data:
The Language Arts academic achievement gap for the highest performing student aggregate group and lowest performing student aggregate group will be narrowed as measured by the
ILEARN test. Currently, the achievement gap is 27% for these students.

Expected SMART Outcome 1:
The Language Arts achievement gap for students will decrease by 9% over three years without compromising the achievement gains of highest performing group as measured by the
2022 ILEARN.

Year 1 Expected Outcome: 3%

A. Problem Statement with Baseline Data:
Students at HIJH in grades 5-8 are lacking in the fundamentals of GRIT as indicated with a 54% favorability rating and a national ranking in the 20-39 percentile on the Student Panorama
Survey. GRIT is defined in the Staff Handbook as, ‘the ability to keep working toward a goal, overcoming challenges, and sticking with it even though it is hard’.

Expected SMART Outcome 1:
The student GRIT percentage at HIJH will increase by 10% over three years based upon embedded strategies throughout the school day and beyond as measured by the 2022 Panorama
Student Survey

Year 1 Expected Outcome: 3%
Year 2 Expected Outcome: 3%

B. Problem Statement with Baseline Data:
The staff’s perception of their colleague's attitudes will increase to a level consistent with other schools locally which in turn will increase the overall climate of the school consistent with
school districts of similar demographics nationally.

Expected SMART Outcome 2:
The perception of staff attitudes and thus overall climate of school will increase by 6 % over two years as measured by the 2021 Panorama Staff Survey.
