	Northern Cheyenne Tribal School


	2006-2011 District Strategic Plan

	In 2007, following a process of community input, the School Board will adopt the Northern
	Cheyenne Tribal School Strategic Plan. The district will make significant gains in student
	achievement by using the school strategic plan and the school improvement plan as
	roadmaps to set priorities, allocate resources, and manage work.
	The strategic plan will be updated annually by a team of community members, families
	of students in the schools, students, and staff members. They will create "Pathway for the
	21st Century" with a focus on literacy, personalization and connecting with families, and
	integration of culture within the school system and community.
	Additional monies will be obtained to accelerate the work of reaching the following goals:

	1. Having 90 percent of students meeting literacy standards by 2011;
	2. Having 90 percent of students meeting math standards by 2011;
	3. Having 90 percent of students meeting science standards by 2011;
	4. Immersion of culture within the school system;
	5. Creating personal, individualized support for all students; and
	6. Using technology to enhance parent-teacher communication and collaboration.

	Through the leadership of the School Board and administration, the dedicated work of
	staff, and continued support from the community, Northern Cheyenne Tribal School will
	become one of the highest performing districts in the state. The successes that will help
	the district earn that recognition include:

	- Significant gains in student achievement, including all subgroups that will meet the 90
	percent target of students meeting state standards in reading.
	- Significant gains in student achievement, including all subgroups that will meet the 90
	percent target of students meeting state standards in math.
	-Significant gains in student achievement, including all subgroups that will meet the 90
	percent target of students meeting state standards in science.
	-Students will meet the attendance rate of 93%.
	-Extensive professional development with a focus on instructional coaching / mentoring
	and the development of Essential Strategies for Powerful Teaching and Learning
	(see Addendum), leadership development and organization alignment; and
	-Implementation of school improvement plans that target specific ways to improve
	student learning.
	-Curriculum development, alignment, and implementation in all content areas.

	To obtain the goals of the plan we must answer the following questions:
	-How do we support all students in achieving state standards in reading, writing, math
	and science by 2014, as federally manadated?
	-How do we ensure that at risk students receive the intervention services and opportunities
	that are afforded to all students?
