Rainier View’s Theory of Action

At Rainier View, we believe every child can thrive when learning is engaging, relationships are strong, and families are true partners. Together, we focus on building academic growth, fostering belonging, and amplifying student voice so that every child feels safe, valued, and inspired to learn.

These beliefs guide our SMARTIE Goals, the specific steps we’re taking to ensure success for every student.

SMARTIE Goal #1 (MATH)

By June 2026, in partnership with families, Rainier View will increase the percentage of scholars meeting or exceeding standard on SBA by at least 15 percentage points per grade level compared to Spring 2025 results. We will ensure students receiving specially designed instruction, multilingual learners, Black, Pacific Islander, and Native American students demonstrate equitable growth toward these outcomes, supported by targeted instruction and progress monitoring. We will increase the percentage of students meeting stretch growth by 15% for each cohort.

SMARTIE Goal #2 (ELA)

By June 2026, in partnership with families, Rainier View will increase the percentage of scholars meeting or exceeding standard on SBA by at least 15 percentage points per grade-level compared to Spring 2025. We will ensure students receiving specially designed instruction, multilingual learners, Black/African/African American, Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, Hispanic and Native American demonstrate equitable growth toward these outcomes , supported by targeted instruction and progress monitoring. We will increase the percentage of scholars meeting stretch growth by 15% for each grade-level cohort.

SMARTIE Goal #3 (Whole Child)

Rainier View's 2025-2026 Aligned Signature Strategies
  • Utilize data collection and reporting system to increase effective use of standards, cohort, growth, and equity data to drive instructional decisions at the school, classroom, and scholar levels

 

  • Build capacity of teachers through targeted professional development and collaborative coaching focused on anti-racist and culturally relevant instructional practices and strategies in literacy, numeracy, and data analysis.

 

  • Implement co-teaching/inclusion models that provide full and meaningful access to high-quality, inclusive, and culturally responsive core instruction within the general education classroom including scholars with special needs, scholars learning English, and advanced learners. Establish systems, structures, and professional development to support co-teaching and inclusive models.

 

  • Implement culturally responsive, universally designed, anti-racist teaching practices that engage students in content and integrate their experience and voice.
