Bozeman School District

Long-Range Strategic Plan: 2021-2022 Implementation Framework

Introduction

Bozeman Public Schools’ Long Range Strategic Plan process is intended to define our goals as well as our plan for accomplishing those goals. The following document is intended to describe the “work plan” for implementing the LRSP for the 2021-2022 school year. The LRSP Implementation Framework and the Five Year Plan were approved by the Board of Trustees August, 2021.

This implementation framework is divided into four areas:

• Section A: District Goals (20 year and 5 year)
• Section B: School-Wide Instructional Focus (Three Critical Areas)
• Section C: Building/Principal Professional Goal
• Section D: Reporting on the LRSP: Board Luncheons, School Reports, District Reports

Section A: District Goals

District Goals (20 year and 5-10 year)

Big Audacious Goal:

Long term, 20-year planning horizon
The Bozeman Public School District is student-centered and known as a vibrant, flexible, purposeful, and progressive educational system that values diversity, models community engagement, provides numerous opportunities to generate individual student growth, and engage students to succeed and positively contribute in a global community.

Focus Goals:

Short term, 5-10 year planning horizon

Early Literacy Goal: By 2025, 85% of all children entering Kindergarten will have requisite literacy skills as measured by Acadience.

Grade Level Reading Goal: By 2025, 90% of all BSD7 3rd Grade Students will demonstrate grade-level reading skills by achieving a proficient score on the Acadience reading assessment at the end of the school year.

PLC Goal: By spring of 2025 all BSD7 schools PK-12 will have fully implemented PLC’s in place that will support the closing of the achievement gap, thus qualifying BSD7 as a Solution Tree Model PLC District.

Section B: School-Wide Instructional Focus 2021-2022

Three Critical Areas: ELA/Literacy, Mathematics, Social-Emotional Learning (SEL)

School teams will develop a school-wide instructional focus action and will set measurable goals in ELA/Literacy, Mathematics, and Social-Emotional Learning (SEL).

Section C: Building/Principal Professional Goal

Each building and building principal will be working through MTSS Resource Mapping as their professional learning goal for the 2021-2022 school year. Resource mapping involves taking an audit of the personnel, facilities, curriculum and instruction, time allocations and requirements, data sources, and other resources to take stock of all the available resources to meet the individual needs of students.

Section D: Reporting on the LRSP

Board Luncheons and School Visits:

Starting in October and continuing through February 2022, the Board will be invited to each school for a short presentation and opportunity to visit classrooms. We will ask Principals to focus their presentation and classroom visits around one of the three critical areas: ELA/Literacy, Mathematics, Social-Emotional Learning (SEL). Additionally, presentations should include information related to the MTSS and PLC work associated with the critical area.

Luncheon Schedule:

Presentations: The presentation from the school Principal or Director should include the following information:

1. School LRSP goal/s and progress for one of the critical areas (ELA/Literacy, Mathematics, Social-Emotional Learning)
2. Presentations should include information related to the MTSS and PLC work associated with the critical area.
3. Successes and challenges

School Reports: School data reports will be generated in conjunction with the school presentation for each Board luncheon.

District Reports: Board education sessions will be held throughout the school year highlighting the district work being done on the three critical areas (ELA/Literacy, Mathematics. Social-Emotional Learning).

Principal Goals Meeting With Central Office: Principals will use the templates above to meet with the Superintendent and Deputy Superintendents three times (Oct., Feb., May/June) during the school year to discuss progress related to the three critical areas (ELA/Literacy, Mathematics, Social-Emotional Learning).

Public Facing LRSP Progress: Progress towards LRSP goals will be reported on the District web-page beginning 2021-2022, consistent with pre-Covid expectations. HERE
