Goal 1: Student Success. All students demonstrate they are on a path toward success in college, career and citizenship.

XObjective 1: Empowered -All students are empowered in their learning to set and achieve their aspirations for the future.

XObjective 2: Whole Child -All students are safe, healthy, and supported in school, so that they can engage fully in high-quality educational opportunities.

XObjective 3: Well Rounded - All students are offered and engage in rigorous, well rounded education so that students are prepared to be successful in their post-high school goals.

XObjective 4: Prepared and Resilient - All students transition successfully throughout their educational experiences.

Outcome: By the end of three years, / Rationale:
  • The Hawaiian Language Oral Proficiency of students and staff will increase.
  • The school will continue to develop a system of assessments in Hawaiian for Hawaiian Language, reading in Hawaiian and math in Hawaiian.
  • Student proficiency in reading, math and science will improve.
  • The school will strengthen Nā HopenaA’o Learning Outcomes (Belonging, Responsibility, Excellence, Aloha, Total Well-Being, Hawai’i) in students, staff and throughout the school.
  • Student attendance will improve.
/
  • Hawaiian language is the language of instruction and research tells us that when studentsʻ level of language increases their ability to learn increases along with their academic performance in all content areas.
  • Assessments in English are not valid for students that are taught in Hawaiian so the school needs to develop its own assessments to gather data on student proficiency.
  • Student assessment data shows a need to improve student proficiency in reading, math and science.
  • The school has been piloting Nā HopenaA’o Learning Outcomes and sees the Nā HopenaA’o framework as an excellent culturally-relevant tool for school improvement and building student character and empathy which will support all of the school’s academic plan activities.
  • The school’s SY 15-16 chronic absenteeism rates were 27% (K-6), 17% (7,8) and 16% (9-12). Given that attendance directly affects student achievement, the school can positively affect student achievement by improving student attendance.

Goal 2: Staff Success. Kula Kaiapuni 'o Ānuenue has a high-performing culture where employees have the training, support and professional development to contribute effectively to student success.

Outcome: By the end of three years, / Rationale:
  • The school will have strengthened its mentoring program to support its new teachers throughout their first years of teaching.
  • The school will have developed stronger ties with other kaiapuni schools to support teacher development and school improvement.
/
  • The number of new teachers has increased the past few years and the school's current mentoring system that relies on other teachers to mentor new teachers doesn't provide the level of support they need. The school aims to create a full-release mentor that can provide the needed support to new teachers.
  • The school has begun to collaborate with other kaiapuni schools and sees the mutual benefit that comes from sharing ideas and resources with them as well as the economies of scale that combining efforts can provide.

Goal 3: Successful Systems of Support. The system and culture of Kula Kaiapuni 'o Ānuenueworks to effectively organize financial, human, and community resources in support of student success.

Outcome: By the end of three years, / Rationale:
  • The school will have implemented a system of school-wide articulation periods for grade-level data teams to meet to examine student data and make instructional improvements to address student needs.
  • Parent involvement in supporting student achievement and Hawaiian Language proficiency will increase.
  • The school will provide students and employees with computer systems and technology that support 21st century learning.
/
  • The school has attempted to implement data teams many times in the past, but without a block of time set aside specifically for data teams and a designated lead to keep teams to an agenda and hold them accountable, data teams were never very effective.
  • Research shows that students with involved parents, no matter their income or background, are more likely to: Earn higher grades and test scores, and enroll in higher-level programs; Be promoted, pass their classes and earn credits; Attend school regularly; Have better social skills, show improved behavior and adapt well to school; Graduate and go on to post-secondary education (SEDL, 2002)
  • The school relies heavily on technology to support student learning in instruction, tutoring, assessments and administration.
