Motivating Students to Learn
Efficacy Institute  committed to developing all children to high standards and to building the belief that virtually all children can "get smart;" and to build the capacity of adults to set the terms to help them do so.

District GoalsTop of Page

How will we mark our progress in achieving our purpose?
District Goals (per LEA Plan Addendum)
  • The achievement goal for all students is to move up one level on the California Standards Test (CST) and for all English learners to move up one level on the California English Language Development Test (CELDT).  Students at the advanced level will maintain that level of proficiency.  Spring 2005 STAR CST results will be used as the baseline for determining growth targets.
  • The participation goal for all tests is 95%.
  • The API (Academic Performance Index) goal for all schools is 800.  The yearly target is 10% of the difference between the current API and 800.
