OVERVIEW OF
GOALS & METRICS
Specific and measurable goals are necessary to accomplish the long-lasting positive change our students deserve. Over the years, students
across the state have suffered from a loss of learning only to be worsened by the pandemic. As we continue to rebuild, the goals and metrics
will help us keep a pulse on our progress and inform the flagship programs and strategies to be implemented. The Strategic Plan goals
outlined in this section were established to define and monitor the success of each priority and enabler. The metrics, or the data source and
data subsets, create a narrow lens used to evaluate the trajectory of each goal and establish baseline measures and targets*.
GOALS & METRICS FOR LOW PERFORMING SCHOOLS
Decrease in the percentage of schools that are re-identified as low
performing schools three (3) school years after initial identification.
Of a cohort of low-performing schools, increase in average
performance level in MCAP ELA and math, and decrease in chronic
absenteeism rates.
GOALS & METRICS FOR A COHORT OF
STUDENTS
Following a cohort of students from grade 3 to 8,
increase in average performance level in ELA and
math on MCAP. To follow the same students over
time, the outcome will be recalculated for prior years
as students in the cohort move out of the state.
When looking at the data, we will disaggregate by: student groups, race/ethnicity, gender, economically disadvantaged, students with disabilities,
English learners, schools, and local education agencies.
*Final targets will be released by late Fall 2023 using the Spring 2023 Maryland Comprehensive Assessment Program results
