Spartanburg School District Five Strategic Plan 2022-2027
The 2022-2027 Strategic Plan for Spartanburg School District Five focuses on three main areas: Student Achievement, Teacher and Administrator Quality, and School and District Climate. The plan addresses challenges related to learning loss from the COVID-19 pandemic, increasing math and ELA readiness, student engagement, teacher retention, explosive growth, and ensuring student safety and well-being. Key strategies include using data to guide instruction, providing targeted professional development, fostering a positive school climate, and addressing social-emotional learning needs. The plan aims to improve student performance on assessments like iReady and EOC exams, increase teacher retention, and enhance school safety and community engagement. Specific goals include increasing the percentage of students meeting stretch growth targets on iReady assessments, increasing the percentage of secondary students meeting college and career readiness benchmarks, increasing teacher retention rates, improving teacher scores on the South Carolina Teaching Standards Rubric, and improving student, teacher, and parent perceptions of school safety and family engagement. The plan also aims to close the gap in gifted and talented identification between students in poverty and the overall student population.
