LHS+Smart+Goals


 * __SMART Goal #1__** : Collaborate with teachers and instruct students with a focus of increasing the number of books checked out monthly to individual students for voluntary free reading in class and for personal use. The intent is to improve reading scores from school years 09-10 through 10-11.

Specific : Measurable : Note: The library goals are tied to the LHS building school improvement goals and checkouts have increased three out of four months. Further, the first three months of 2010 reflect an increase each month over the previous school year.
 * 1) Increase the number of books checked out monthly from the LHS library to individual students for voluntary free reading in classes and for personal use, for the purpose of raising reading scores from the 2008-2009 school year through the 2009-2010 school year.
 * 2) Increase CSAP PA% scores for LHS by 3% points for 9th grade to 67% PA and by 2 % points for 10th grade to 73% PA.
 * 1) Compare LHS individual check out statistics from 2008-2009 and 2009-2010, and eventually 2010-2011.
 * 2) Compare class statistics for book check out throughout the year.
 * 3) Compare CSAP reading scores from 2008-2009 and 2009-2010 for both 9th and 10th grade.
 * 4) Compare the individual student reading test scores of students in 9th and 10th grade who participated in a free voluntary reading program for at least one year.
 * 5) Keep track of student feedback within a free voluntary reading program(s).

Relevant and Achievable: Yes. The library goals are tied to the LHS building school improvement goals and checkouts already have increased three out of four months. Below the percentages in the spreadsheet reflect the percentage of the LHS population of students who have checked out a book from the LHS library, and a comparison to other area high schools is represented in the first four spreadsheets and graphs. LHS's book checkouts are currently lower, as a percentage of population, when compared to most other area high schools. Statistics do show that book checkouts have increased from 2009 to 2010 when comparing the first three months of each year. 





Timely:
 * 1) Compare statistics for school years 2008-2009 and 2009-2010 check out statistics and class statistics (teachers who bring students to library to specifically check out books) at the end of the 2010 school year **(May 2010).**
 * 2) Compare CSAP reading scores when available from 2009 and 2010 during the **fall of 2010** when 2010 CSAP scores become available.
