 HERE IS MY ACTION PLAN…
For when they will meet high expectations when they are involved (ex. goals/supports)
 HIGH EXPECTATIONS- EXAMPLE:
ELL GOALS
• Goals: First, evaluating ELLs learning levels which will lead to their strengths and areas to
work on
• Then conference with ELLs and their parents on what they can do and what they will
need to work on (also incorporating outside people agencies as needed, ex. LST, EAs, etc)
• Allow ELLs to also comment on things they want to set for themselves as goal(s)
• SMART goals: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, Time-based
