Black Excellence

Black Student Growth Goals

1. By the end of every school year, over 90% of our Black students who attend
   at least 80% of the time, will be meeting or exceeding expectations for all
   Language and Literacy TSGold objectives and show no major disparities in
   any TSGold objectives compared to other student groups.
2. By the end of every school year, there will be no major negative disparities in
   learning for our Black students across all STWA TSGold Power Standards

Black Excellence Plan Theory of Action

1. By engaging, supporting, and partnering with our Black families to extend our
   developmental work into the home setting, we will be able to achieve our
   Language and Literacy TSGold growth goals for all of our Black students.

Key Strategic Questions

1. If 5 years from now, we are viewed as an exemplary school for Black Family
   Engagement, what kinds of things are we doing routinely to engage our
   families?
2. What are the first steps we can take right now to move in that direction by
   engaging our Black families?
