District Goal: Receive a 10 year Charter renewal from the MO State Board of Education in the 2027-28 School Year.
4 Disciplines of Execution (4DX)
Discipline 1: Focus on the Wildly Important.
In 2019 48.7% of Missouri students were reading at or above grade level. In 2022 36.5% of Brookside Charter students were reading at or above grade level. Our goal is for 51% of our students to read at or above grade level by the end of the 2027-28 school year. We measure this goal by collecting data from mClass for grades Kindergarten to 5th and CORE Literacy assessments for grades 6th to 8th.
Primary
In 2022 33.6% of Primary students were reading at or above grade level. Our goal is for 51% of our primary students to read at or above grade level by the end of the 2027-28 school year, an average growth of 2.9% per year for 6 years.
Intermediate
In 2022 33.6% of Intermediate students were reading at or above grade level. Our goal is for 51% of our Intermediate students to read at or above grade level by the end of the 2027-28 school year, an average growth of 2.9% per year for 6 years.
Middle School
In 2022 42% of Middle School students were reading at or above grade level. Our goal is for 51% of our Middle School students to read at or above grade level by the end of the 2027-28 school year, an average growth of 1.5% per year for 6 years.
Discipline 2: Act on the Lead Measures
Lead Measures are the small steps you take daily that are influenceable and predictable to reach your Wildly Important Goal.
Elementary Lead Measures: Lexia Reading Program
Middle School Lead Measures: Read 20 Minutes Every Day
Discipline 3: Keep a Compelling Scoreboard
Just like in any sporting event, you want to know if you’re winning. It’s the same when you’re working towards a goal so you need to keep score!
Each classroom keeps a scoreboard that tracks how many students are reaching their lead measures each week, and how close we are to meeting our goal (3 times a year.)
Discipline 4: Create a Cadence of Accountability
When you’re trying to reach a goal it’s important to have someone to help keep you on track. At Brookside Charter, we check in with our accountability partners often and check in with our class during morning meetings to ensure we’re on the right track. Our staff even have weekly check in meetings with their teams to review their commitments towards our goal!
Celebrate!!!
It’s important to celebrate as we work towards our goal. At Brookside Charter we celebrate as a class when 80% or more of students in the class meet their lead measures. We celebrate as a school when 80% or more of our students in the school reach their lead measures.
