GOAL SETTING AND PLANNING TOOL

Educator Name: Marissa C. Mizuno

School Name: Lawrence JHS

Evaluator Name: Bevelyn R. Smothers

Information from the Self-Assessment tool is used to develop SMART* goals related to student learning and professional practice. An action plan,
along with evidence to be collected, is developed to share with the evaluator. The educator and evaluator collaborate to refine or revise the goals
and plan as needed.

Students will improve metacognitive development in order to effectively self-monitor and hold themselves accountable
for their own learning.
This will result in fewer late and missing assignments, thus decreasing the number of students with Ds and Fs by 50%.
Current grades will be posted on a weekly basis, parents will be contacted as necessary, and students will attend weekly
tutoring and make-up sessions as necessary.
In order to analyze and monitor student progress and growth.
From October 2015 to June 2016.

Students will improve metacognitive development resulting in fewer late/missing assignments and a 50% decrease in the
number of Ds and Fs earned which will be accomplished by posting grades on a weekly basis, contacting parents of students
who are at-risk of failing, and providing students with tutoring and make-up sessions in order to enable students to effectively
self-monitor and hold themselves accountable for their own learning during the time frame of October 2015 to June 2016.

Notes, letters, and other parent-teacher contact will be documented.
Student assessment scores and overall grades will be analyzed and monitored to determine the percentage of students
who have improved academically and behaviorally as a result of parent communication.
