Discipline Progress Plan and SIPS

This piece will vary significantly between elementary and secondary. The type of infractions will be a key piece in determining if and when to carry out the plan. By utilizing this plan for discipline, we will be following the same basic protocol for all sites and students who have significant, recurring disciplinary problems. 

COLLEGE READINESS GRADE

	Explanation	What it looks like.	What success look like.
College Readiness Grade	This is a data point that we need to consistently develop a habit of recording. The college readiness grade reflects a student’s performance of basic college performance skills like turning work in on time; being trustworthy when out of the classroom; practicing self-direction and resilience.	Teachers and staff should enter a grade of 1 or 0 for every student every week.  If a student earns a 0, that entry must have a comment, such as but not limited to: absences; non-participation; behavior issues; late work.	Decisions are made best when they are made with data.  Student behavior and learning will most improve when we are clear in our expectations and communicate those expectations clearly.   Success in this expectation looks like every student having a college readiness score for every class every week.
