Response:
1B. We have used the following instruments, procedures, or processes to obtain this information . . . (Be sure to use brainstorming as a strategy for Needs Assessment.)
Response:
1C. We have taken into account the needs of migrant children by (or if you have no migratory students . . . these are the procedures we would follow should those students be in attendance:
Response: The Migrant Education Program is part of the Title I Program. Currently, Heard-Mixon does not have any migrant students in attendance. These are the procedures we would follow should those students be in attendance. Each year, all students receive an Occupational Survey to be completed by the parent or guardian. Once the survey is returned, the school’s designee sends all forms to the Migrant Education Liaison in the Office of Federal Programs. Upon receipt, and review of each survey, the Migrant Education Liaison sends selected surveys to the regional Migrant Education Program office. Newton County is a part of the Migrant Education Consortium which means Georgia Department of Education allows Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College (ABAC) to serve as the fiscal agency. The Migrant Education Program Specialist from ABAC will contact each school to provide support to any student who qualifies for these services. If the need arises, teachers will implement strategies ABAC recommends for any Migrant Education student based on the areas of need.

Weaknesses:Our plan will be based on data reviewed in the Comprehensive Needs Assessment for the entire school. The Comprehensive Needs Assessment is based on information related to the Georgia Standards of Excellence (GSE), Georgia Performance Standards (GPS), local student achievement data, and other data sources supporting student achievement.
Root Cause Analysis and Prioritized NeedsThe data has helped us reach conclusions regarding student achievement.

PRIORITIZE Rank Major Needs that will be addressed in Title I
Program Implementation
ROOT CAUSE(S)
1. Reading Comprehension- Informational Text Lack of exposure; difficulty of text- limited vocabulary;
1. Writing- Ideas Unable to develop ideas; lack of stamina due to lack of exposure
2. Math- Numbers & Operations, Geometry Students lack content specific background/prior knowledge which impedes their ability to learn new information that is potentially relevant for acquiring new knowledge.
Time constraints prevent students from practicing basic skills to mastery and completing in-class assignments.
Parents are unfamiliar with how to help students with “new math”. The CRA model of math is not implemented with fidelity.
Number talks have not been modeled consistently and as a result students are not thinking through and talking aloud about their work. High performing students “assume” work is correct.
3. Science- Earth & Physical Students lack content specific background/prior knowledge which impedes their ability to learn new information that is potentially relevant for acquiring new knowledge.
Students do not have the background knowledge to make text connections (text to text, text to self, text to world.)
Lack of time to teach.
