1 Comprehensive School Plan North Clayton High School 2015 Vision Statement The vision of Clayton County Public Schools is to be a district of excellence preparing ALL students to live and compete successfully in a global society. Mission Statement The mission of Clayton County Public Schools is to be accountable to all stakeholders for providing a globally competitive education that empowers students to achieve academic and personal goals and to become college and career ready, productive, responsible citizens.

2 District-Wide Expectations for Comprehensive School Plans Utilize the schools pertinent data such as CCRPI data to make instructional decisions and prioritize strategic actions and monitoring protocols. Performance objectives should be written as specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and timely (S.M.A.R.T.) goals using goal setting formulas. Include action steps that address Clayton County Public Schools instructional priorities: Literacy Across the Curriculum, Math, Integrating Technology, and Critical Thinking in the comprehensive plan. Action steps for training, weekly collaborative planning, implementing, and refining Explicit Instruction need to be included. A formative assessment system with data analysis should be included in the action steps for all applicable goals. Plan action steps for necessary interventions based on academic and behavioral data (i.e. subgroup data, placed or retained students, reading interventions, and the Behavior Big 7 Report). Consult the Technology Department before purchasing hardware or software to support an action step. Formatting: Times New Roman, 10 font, updated revision date Schools should review Comprehensive School Plans regular in various school meetings such as administrative, leadership, data, grade level and collaborative planning meetings and make revisions as needed. District level reviews will occur quarterly. P a g e 2 23
