ND CLIMBS Goals and Objectives

Four goals and objectives define the required commitments of grant participation.

Goals:

1. All systems are established to sustain collaborative conditions for the delivery of high-quality, evidence-based literacy instruction.
2. All administrative building instructional leaders (principals) are equipped to create and sustain collaborative conditions for educators to deliver high-quality, evidence-based literacy instruction.
3. All educators are prepared and continually supported to deliver students high-quality, evidence-based literacy instruction.
4. All students receive high-quality, evidence-based literacy instruction to achieve proficiency in literacy skills.

Objectives:

1. School team members plan and manage effective literacy systems. The state will identify support structures for local school teams to build collective efficacy and establish and improve data-informed systems to achieve student proficiency in literacy.
2. Administrative building instructional leaders (principals) learn and improve ELA leadership practices. The state will identify high-quality, job-embedded professional learning opportunities appropriate for leadership personnel and contract to design, develop, and facilitate a high-quality, ongoing leadership network.
3. Educators learn and improve instructional practices. The state will identify high-quality, job-embedded professional learning opportunities appropriate for educator roles and align with the science of reading and contract to design, develop, and facilitate an ongoing, job-embedded network learning community.
4. School team members deliver effective instruction. The state will contract to provide support structures for educators to deliver high-quality, evidence-based instruction that leads to student proficiency in literacy skills. The support structures will help schools build implementation plans aligned with the North Dakota Literacy Plan.
