WRITING

1.

1. No District writing Pre-Test Assessment was administered in August however using teacher feedback from classroom assessments and mid term exams students showed minimum gains in writing. 2. Using teacher feedback from classroom assessments and mid term exams students showed an increase in "word choice" in descriptive writing.

2.

1. Use disaggregated data, to identify students including those from all NCLBsubgroups scoring below 3.5 in writing and place those students in appropriatein-school school tutorial programs.2. Assign students to teachers in the most conducive testing environment whereteacher/student relationships are to provide maximum student participation andperformance on the March 2009 administration of the FCAT.3. Conduct Test Talks with students for better understanding of performance dataand inform them of areas of weakness and strengths to improve test results onthe March 2009 FCAT.4. Students were provided an opportunity to revise their mid-term essays after receiving feedback from their teachers, demonstrating an understanding of the FCAT rubric.

3.

1. Institute weekly writing prompt activities for all students through Language Arts and Social Studies that will be monitored by teachers.2. Feedback will be provided to students by teachers as well as student revisions being completed through the Language Arts and Social Studies departments.3. Upon receipt of the District Writing prompts pre-test and mid-year exams we administered to all students.4. Utilize the District Writing Assessment as a practice in all appropriate grade levels prior to the administration of the 2009 FCAT Writing Assessment.5. Within the SPED and ELL subgroups it was noted that there was a point one zero decrease on the mean score.

4.

1. Professional development will be provided to all instructional staff on understanding the usage of FCAT Writing rubrics.2. Professional development was offered to all instructional staff during the summer of 2008 that provided intensive training in CRISS and Differentiated Instruction which included writing strategies.3. A five point Likert Scale Survey was developed to measure teacher feedback on the intensive professional development offered at the school site.4. The impact of the professional development will be measured by the administration of the March 2009 FCAT.

2.

1. Develop a benchmark focus calendar with bi-weekly standard assessments for all subgroups. 2. Monitor FCAT practice test for areas of improvement for all subgroups. 3. Allow the students to investigate through inquiry-based, hands-on activities, and allowing more time to think critically, rather than lecturing them or asking them to memorize a large of number of facts for SPED subgroups. 4. Collaborate within Science department to share successful strategies for all subgroups. 5. Utilize the Science District pacing guide in grades four to twelve for all subgroups. 6. Utilize Explorer Learning program (Gizmo) in computer lab to reinforce District "Crunch Time" curriculum for all subgroups.

3.

1. Administer mock FCAT examinations to simulate actual test for all subgroups. 2. Implement differentiated instruction and CRISS strategies for SPED and ELL subgroups. 3. Utilize annually assessed benchmarks to create a "Crunch Time" curriculum for all subgroups.

4.

1. On going professional development on in the areas of curriculum and instruction are offered to all teachers during the early release and professional development days. 2. Provide professional development to all instructional staff in disaggregating data. 3. Provide professional development in curriculum and instruction improvement.

GRADUATION RATE

Strengths 1. Provide each student with a credit history advisement session after each grading period. After each grading period academic counseling sessions are conducted.2. Monitor attendance.3. Based on the summer 2008 data retrieved from PLATO Learning, indicates that the average number of modules mastered by learners showed a five percent mastery level. 4. FCAT Test Talks.5. Parent conferences.6. Graduation requirement conference.7 2006 graduation rate was 55%, 2007 graduation rate was 66% and 2008 graduation rate was 93%.8. Based on data retrieved from PLATO Learning for the 2008-09 school year indicates a range of one to ten percent of modules mastered.

OFIs 1. Afternoon tutorials abandoned due to District budget.2. Adult Ed after school component abandoned due to District budget.3. Loss of career specialist, Alternative School specialist and Group counselor due to District budget. 4. Initiate a program through Social Studies to meet community service graduation requirement.

Instructional Focus 1. School budget that would finance the transportation of students attending after school and adult education programs.2. The school is in need of more core teachers to establish small learning communities to adequately deal with at risk students. Moreover, implementation of these strategies will facilitate enhanced adequate AYP.

Professional Development 1. Greater number of resources for providing Professional Development.2. Professional Development for alternative school teachers that specifically deals with students assigned to alternative education.
