• Implementation of a school wide "March Mindset" month-long celebration to engage our school community in everything "Growth Mindset!"

• Based on data outcomes of iReady baseline assessments and NJSLA Spring 2022 - grade level teams will develop SMART goals and subsequent standards-focused action plans in the areas of math and language arts for their students to address needs as well as enrich based on readiness.
• Develop an understanding of STEAM Education and engage in a building-wide instructional approach to foster the skills that will not only support our STEAM Education initiative, but also do so with a lens serving to support student achievement across curriculum areas by making “connections” across content areas.
