Much time and energy has been put into analyzing
standardized test data. Information compiled
through parent, community, student, and faculty
surveys has been calculated and reviewed extensively.
Using this data, our committee has compiled
a list of school strengths and weaknesses
in order to help us target areas for improvement.
Goals, objectives, and action steps have been
written that focus on improving higher order
thinking skills in reading and number and
number relations in math.
Higher order thinking skills
include such skills as reasoning, making inferences,
applying new information, and the use of analysis,
synthesis, and evaluation of material read.
The concept of number and number relations
in math involves a secure understanding of
numbers, number systems, different ways to
represent numbers, relationships among numbers,
and meanings of operations, computational
skills, and estimation.
We have found some interesting and helpful
websites that give much information concerning
definitions, examples, and strategies related
to higher order thinking skills in reading
and number and number relations in math. Please
take some time to review some of these sites
to help you better understand our focus areas
and to discover ways that you can assist your
child at home.
Lake Harbor is working hard to improve our
instructional program and value your help
and time. If you have any suggestions, we
would love to hear them.
