We embrace PLCs to ensure learning for teachers and students alike.
What are your school’s top two goals for the next year?
The top two goals for New Franklin for the next year are:
1) To continue promoting collegiality, respect and reflective practice through the structure of Professional Learning Communities and to ensure that all students meet grade level SMART goals and make strong academic growth in the areas of literacy and mathematics.
2) To ensure a high level of instruction, service and support for students and families as New Franklin continues to see diminishing Title I funds and the anticipated loss of positions.
