Suitland Elementary School Performance Plan

In alignment with the goals and priorities of Prince George's County Public Schools (PGCPS), the School Performance Plan (SPP) allows for a transparent and collaborative school improvement process with a focus on student achievement.

The School Performance Plan was developed this school year as the continuation of the detailed work and planning completed in the previous school year. The SPP focuses schools on engaging in disciplined inquiry cycles through the use of Plan, Do, Study, Act (PDSA). Through the successful utilization of PDSA, schools are able to impact student achievement and teacher practice by taking a scientific approach to school improvement.

SMART Goals

A targeted

aspiration that serves as the focal point for collective improvement efforts

Specific; Measurable; Achievable; Realistic; Timebound

Math- During the 2025-2026 SY, the percent of students scoring proficient or higher will increase by 5 percentage points as measured by the 2025 MCAP Math assessment.

RELA/ELA-By the end of the SY 2025-2026, the percent of students scoring proficient or higher will increase by 5 percentage points as measured by the 2025 MCAP RELA assessment.

 

By the end of SY 2025–2026, students participating in the Extended Learning Opportunity (ELO) program will increase their composite score on DIBELS by 10 points. This improvement will serve as a key preparatory focus to strengthen early literacy proficiency and build the foundational skills necessary for success on the Maryland Comprehensive Assessment Program (MCAP) in subsequent grades.

Not Selected-

Problem of Practice

One problem the school has chosen to address that will assist them in moving toward the overarching Smart Goal

Teachers are insufficiently implementing the curriculum with consistency and fidelity.

Therefore, students are not consistently experiencing the math standards and objectives to be able to successfully meet their math goals.

Problem of Practice (Grades 3-5):

There is a lack of consistent and accurate implementation of Routine Writing (PGCPS Curriculum) to include rubrics, feedback, scaffolding tools, etc.

 

Change Idea

A specific, actionable idea or technique that school teams will use to address the SMART Goal

Teachers will use data analysis protocol to select re-engagement activities/strategies.

Teachers will implement structured weekly routine writings in Reading, providing students

 

 

 

with clear prompts, models, and success criteria. Teachers will collaboratively analyze student writing samples using the MSDE rubric during grade-level data meetings to identify trends, calibrate scoring, and plan targeted feedback and mini-lessons to improve writing quality and completion rates.

 

Target

The AIM set to determine if the implementation of the change idea was successful

13 out of 22 teachers will complete the re-engagement activity/strategy tracker.

75% (6 out of 8) Grades 3-5 teachers will implement weekly Routine and/or Analytical Writing prompts and utilize MSDE rubric score and provide student feedback with fidelty.

 

PI: Target 40% of students will score meeting or exceeding expectation on the Benchmark.

 

IPI Target: **Adjust the IPI target according to the IPI selected**

75% of unit/cycle assessments completed and 5% growth on benchmark assessments from Fall to Winter.
