Discipline

Measurable Outcome: By the end of the 2024-25 school year, we will decrease the number of students receiving out-of-school suspension (OSS) to no more than 11 students.

Strategy 1: Integrate student and family perspectives into discipline procedures through diverse communication methods during incidents, translation services, educator cultural competency training, and feedback mechanisms for continuous improvement.

Strategy 2: Utilize an MTSS framework to establish and organize a school-wide continuum of proactive behavior and wellness supports which will provide targeted interventions to students at different levels of need.

Strategy 3: Implement Leveled Responses to Student Behaviors: Staff Managed for classroom issues, Office Managed for interventions beyond; provide clear guidelines for consistency and effectiveness, promoting division-wide behavior management; utilize the office-managed/ staff-managed document consistently.

Portrait of a Graduate Presentation of Learning (POG POL)

Measurable Outcome: By the end of the 2024-25 school year, all Cooper students will have the opportunity to engage in Portrait of a Graduate Presentations of Learning (POG POLs) as measured by a 95% completion rate.

Strategy 1: Create portfolios (Resource 1) dedicated to documenting growth in POG/ATL attributes and skills.

Strategy 2: Engage students in reflection and planning (Resource 1) to share their growth in a presentation of learning.
