We plan around this time of the year to think about next year. We implement strategies throughout the year and then at this point of the year for next year, we will be evaluating how well those plans went.

For our SIP goal plan itself, we ask our sites to create one care team goal for the school year and up to two smart academic goals. That doesn't mean that there's only two or three things that they're working on. That means that these are precise data points that we try to measure to see if the activities that we have worked on throughout the year are getting us the results that we want in terms of our SIP goals.

Our SID goal was by August of 2025 to develop and implement a formal MTSS process at Central Early Learning Center. It's continuing to be an ongoing process. But what we did do was do a lot of professional development on our tier one instruction to make sure that that was really strong and ready to go and ready for the next step.

We changed our care like presentation process this year which made it much more um teacher friendly meaning everyone had to participate because we made it a round table and we took different areas from different programs and put those people together and then everyone had to share in the time about their cares.

Our second goal was a specific literacy goal goal that focused on increasing our grade three through five reading proficiency from 49.33% to 52% based on our MCA data.

As a site, Aquilla had 33 teachers participating in letters training. So that's directly related to uh the legislative um mandate but something that our teachers or and something that our teachers also found really helpful. So letters training is based on the science of reading.

What we discovered is that we didn't have a systematized process for welcoming families and ensuring that they have those basic things. basic access to health care, other resettlement resources. And so the care work that um that Mi Miss Carrie did was based on that and it has shifted our practices.

Education is liberation here in St. Louis Park. So that's our goal to make sure that all kids have access to that liberatory narrative.

Our SIP goals two and three were both related to increased proficiency on the MCAs. And you can see here this is our internal document for all the things that we were working on related to these goals.

This year, for the first time ever in the history of PSI, we taught English phonics in kindergarten for 100 minutes a week and saw some great connections.

The middle one is our Cartoneria project. It's our annual project. Been doing it about 10 years where every single child in the school writes a book.

We attribute that to um you we did meet our last goal that every week when we sent out the newsletter we had 81% open rate consistent we end of the year at that.

Our first goal was that all teachers at Peter Hobart during the two care cycles will focus on collaboration with special education for academic scaffolds and behavioral deescalation techniques.

One of the really amazing things that came out of this work, we started with just carved out collaboration time throughout the school year during their common prep time; our special education team really took this idea and they came up with the Peter Hobart pit stop.

So, um we achieved this first care team goal. Our second goal is around literacy. And it has to do with the MCA reading assessment similar to what Aquilla and Parks immersion talked about.
