School Improvement Plan IntroductionBrookside School 54

This school improvement plan was developed using a vision-based and data-driven process called Vision-to-Action that wasdeveloped by the Indiana Student Achievement Institute. In addition to containing the strategies our school and communityidentified as key to raising student achievement and closing achievement gaps in our school, this plan contains strategies that meetthe expectations of:

The following people were involved in developing this School Improvement Plan

Teachers Students Parent representatives Community representatives

Process

Those involved in developing this School Improvement Plan participated in a series of discussions related to the Vision-to-Action steps:

1. Establish a local culture of high expectations 2. Create a common vision for student success 3. Analyze achievement data and set realistic data targets for each of the next three years 4. Analyze force field data and identify concerns within the following areas.

Academic expectations Curriculum content Instructional practices Classroom assessment

Extra help Student guidance Learning environment

5. Research strategies to address our concerns and select high-leverage strategies to implement 6. Develop a to-do list for each strategy

Using Data for Decision-Marking

The Vision-to-Action process relies heavily on data as a foundation for decision-making.

1. Achievement Data – To what degree are students prepared for success at the next educational level, and ultimately for successin postsecondary education and a global economy?

2. Force Field Data – What conditions in the school and community interfere with high student achievement? 3. Strategy Data – Is the strategy having the desired impact on adults and students?

Implementation Next Year

Our work next year will be guided by the to-do list that we have developed for each strategy. We will also maintain anImplementation Binder for each strategy that contains the following documents:

1. Strategy Plan 2. Evidence that the strategy was implemented 3. Progress reports (containing strategy evaluation data)

Questions about the School Improvement Plan should be directed to the building principal.

Who Wrote this School Improvement Plan?Many individuals were involved in the creation of this school improvement plan. The Steering Team facilitated discussions involvingall teachers, all students, and community representatives including parents. Once these groups came to consensus on the DataTargets, Areas of Concern, and Strategies, strategy chairs and task forces were established to 1) develop a comprehensiveimplementation plan and 2) ensure that the plan is implemented next year.

Vision StatementThe Vision Statement was developed by all teachers, all students, and members of the community. The foundation of the statementidentifies the core convictions upon which this school improvement plan is built and answers the question, "What do our studentsdeserve in order to be successful learners, responsible citizens, and productive members of a global economy?" The second part ofthe vision statement describes ideal adults who are striving to provide students with the things they deserve. The third part of thevision statement describes the ideal students in a school and community where adults live by their convictions. The last part of thevision statement includes ideal data that represent the community’s dreams. This lofty data serves as the focal point for theremainder of the school improvement plan and requires the school and community to work toward every student succeeding at ahigh level.

We believe all students deserve:

We believe that all children deserve to be taught and guided by caring adults who model positive social skills and insist on highexpectations and success for all students. We believe that our school will provide a variety of learning experiences in the school andthe community using different resources including positive role models. We believe that every student who needs extra help andtime to experience growth and success deserves to be provided with resources to help meet their needs. We believe that everychild deserves rich educational and social guidance in order to develop a positive image and attitude towards themselves, eachother, and their community.

All adults in our community are living by these core convictions daily and as a result, show the following attitudes and actions:

All teachers, parents, and community members place a very high value on education.They actively communicate these expectationsto students through several discussions each year.To ensure that all students learn,employees provide a safe, clean,secure,andchallenging, environment. Children come first and all employees are responsible for students’ success in achieving and meetingstate standards.Teachers believe that each child will be successful,and work to develop their potential.All teachers are highlyqualified,professional,have integrety, and are knowledgeable of current educational research and practices. Academic rigor is thenorm and student success is the only option. Teachers present content that is challenging accompanied by extra help and time forstudents who require extra support to experience success.Teachers use a variety of instructional and assessment methods toaddress many different learning styles. Parents are actively involved with their childrenâs education and volunteer on a regularbasis. Students,family members,staff, and community members are all partners in the educational process and communicate clearlywith each other in a timely manner.Teachers value and use suggestions from parents and community members to help create realworld applications for their academic content. Diversity is always valued and cultural practices are evident in the school.

In this environment where all adults are living by their core convictions, all students:

In this environment where all adults are living by their core convictions, students are very enthusiastic about coming to school, andexperience success. All students are highly engaged in their learning. Children will participate in all activities including group workand whole group instruction. Student will demonstrate mastery of the state standards through various assessments. Students willrespect school as a work place and come ready to work and learn everyday. All students will accept challenges, show motivation,and put forth an admirable effort into their education. All students display appropriate behavior and accept responsibility for theiractions. All students demonstrate good citizenship, are responsible, respectful, peaceful, and will achieve.

As a result of these efforts, our school’s student achievement data is as follows:

% of students who master ISTEP essential skills: 100% % of students who are at or above grade level in reading: 100% % of students who are at or above grade level in math: 100%

7

Academic GoalsAfter analyzing longitudinal data that was disaggregated by the student groups identified in No Child Left Behind, teachers,students, parents, and community members identified achievement data targets for the next three years. These targets representacademic areas (subjects) which we wish to improve and specific groups of students we have targeted for improvement (e.g. 6thgraders). Our vision data represents our "dream" for all students. The data targets listed below each school year represent realisticsteps toward that dream.

Areas of ConcernTeachers, students, parents, and community members analyzed data in seven areas known to impact student achievement: 1)expectations, 2) curriculum content, 3) instructional practices, 4) classroom assessments, 5) extra help, 6) student guidance, and 7)the learning environment. We identified areas that we must address in order to reach our academic goals. Those areas are listedbelow as "Local Areas of Concern". Organizations outside of our school (e.g. the Indiana General Assembly) have identified areasof concern for all schools and have required schools to address those areas. These are listed below as "Required Areas ofConcern." Each Area of Concern listed below is followed by the condition in our school or community that led us to believe that thisis an Area of Concern.

Teachers will continue to challenge and work with each other to help improve techniques being used for the gifted.


Teachers will continue to work together to improve instruction for exceptional learners.


Teachers will have cultural competency.

I. Focused Instruction / Curriculum: Focused remediation

Teachers will use collected ISTEP data (which identifies students who failed and or scored up to 10 points above passing (inspecific skill areas) to focus intentional and remedial instruction in the deficit areas of English/Language Arts and Math. Thisintense instruction will occur in the fall, before ISTEP is given and after next year’s scores are recieved.It will focus on thefree/reduced lunch population of the school.

J. Instruction by Highly Qualified Teachers

Only licensed and highly qualified teachers will be hired.


Administrators will continue to attract highly qualified teachers.

Teacher volunteers will be available to mentor others who need support in some instructional/ or management category.


The school will continue to observe the parent-school policy.


The teachers will develop and encourage parents to sign a school-parent compact.


The teachers will plan and hold an annual parent meeting.

T. Lesson Studies

Teachers will address targeted levels of cognition and components of directed instruction in their classroom instructionalstrategies including: 1. knowledge 2. comprehension 3.application 4.analysis 5. synthesis 6.Evaluation 7. Unpacking standards8.Escalating work 9.Gap analysis 10.Differentiated instruction


Teachers will implement the 6+1 Traits for Writing instructional and assessment practices with special attention to the focusarea for each month.Aug/Sept.: Organization and sentence fluency Oct.: Ideas Nov.: Word choice Dec.: Review and catch upJan.: Voice Feb.: Conventions Mar.: Presentation Apr/May:

V. Benchmark Assessments: Administer assessments

Teachers will implement quarterly benchmark assessments in math,English,science, and social studies.
