Goals+for+the+Year

By May 16, students will have improved their writing by five total points across the six traits.

Action steps:

1. We will create one translation table for writing when one trait has been emphasized

2. We will create one translation table for writing when all traits have been equally emphasized

3. We will evaluate student progress.
 * We will require students to chart their progress.
 * We will design a student writing reflection form
 * Students will complete a writing reflection including references to the rubric and teacher communication
 * Students will engage in the revision process as needed
 * We will share our students progress in the six traits to identify strengths and weaknesses, both in student performance and teacher instruction, at least once per semester.

4. We will engage in common scoring sessions to work towards consistency.
