Coordination of Programs

Technical Assistance

The LEA provides guidance, technical assistance, and support to schools developing schoolwide programs in the areas of needs assessment, comprehensive planning, implementation, and evaluation of schoolwide program and requirements.

Describe the technical assistance provided. Explain why it was considered high quality technical assistance.

High quality assistance was provided by the Federal Programs coordinator through various individual meetings with building principals. During these meetings, principals were provided guidance and changes to Title 1. Building funds and positions that were being used with building funds were provided to the principals during Principal Meetings. Additionally, principals can attend Title I conferences, Pattan workshops and trainings but they are not required.

Provider Meeting Date Type of Assistance

Sarah Kelly 4/13/2018 School Improvement Planning

Student Assessment of Progress Describe strategies or processes that have included teachers in the decisions regarding the use of academic assessments to improve the achievement of individual students and the overall instructional program.

During PLC and data meetings teachers make instructional decisions based on timely data. This data includes DIBELS, PVAAS and PSSA (annual), CDTs, Project Reading Program, E&I Aspire tests and OnHands benchmark assessments. Teachers review these variety of student data to create 4 week interventions that focus on student growth in Reading and Math. Teachers utilize teacher made and progress monitoring assessments to determine student growth in addition to follow up interventions for students.

In order to assist students in meeting challenging achievement goals, increased instructional time is a necessity. Please indicate (yes/no) the options for increased time that students will have access to if identified as at-risk of failing or failing to meet achievement standards.

Options Yes or No

Extended School Day/Tutoring Programs Yes

Reading Yes

Needs Assessment

School Accomplishments

Accomplishment #1:

PLC's

Standards-aligned benchmark, formative, and summative assessments are used to monitor students’

achievement and growth through scheduled data analysis during grade level, leadership, and

Professional Learning Communities (PLC) meetings.

The addition of literacy, behavior consultants, and established PLC's give support to teachers and

administration. The developed systems provide students the targeted assistance they need.

Grade Level PLC's have been established, meeting weekly to discuss student data, grade level

standards, curriculum, instruction, and interventions to support student growth across all grade

levels.

Accomplishment #2:

Student Attendance

Student attendance data is monitored systematically to ensure that interventions are in place to

address chronic absenteeism.

Accomplishment #3:

Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports

PBIS and SWIS Monitoring was implemented through the completion of phase 2. Students are being

recognized for positive behavior school-wide.

A system of targeted assistance is established and supported through literacy and behavior

consultants.

A positive school culture has been established through the collaborative efforts of all

stakeholders.

The Behavior Specialist and Literacy Consultants provide professional development

addressing the specific needs based on data collection that promotes school wide positive

behavior skills and effective classroom management and instructional skills. The number of

out of school suspensions for the 2013-14 school year-to-date, is 70 days, which is 63.5 days

less that the 133.5 days of out of school suspensions accrued during the last two months of

the 2012-13 school year.

PIRC (Parent Information Resource Center) provides healthy learning habits both at school

and the home for disengaged students and parents.

Interventionists provide additional classroom support for students based on assessed needs.

PBIS Tier I Recogniton for 14-15 and 16-17 School Years

School Concerns

Concern #1:

DIBELS Benchmark

The percentage of students at Benchmark from BOY to MOY on DIBELS reflects minimal positive

growth in grades 2 and 3 as follows:

2nd grade - 31 students (33%) Benchmark at BOY to 28 students (28%) Benchmark at

MOY.

3rd grade - 30 students (30%) Benchmark at BOY to 37 students (41%) Benchmark at MOY.

Based on DIBELS DATA, an area of concern building wide are reading accuracy and reading fluency

among the student population. A focus on core reading opportunities, along with guided reading

instruction and independent reading time coupled with teach running record assessments weekly

are the expectation for the 2016-2017 school year.

Concern #2:

EasyCBM

Building wide, easyCBM reflects an increase in the number of students at the higher percentile range

from 191 students (41%) at BOY to 217 students (42%) at MOY.

Based on Easy CBM Data, students building wide have difficulty with Numbers and Operation Base-

Ten and Numbers and Operations Base-Ten Fractions. An instructional focus on Math instruction

and the use of manipulatives in all grade levels and teacher professional development will be the

focus for the 2016-2017 school year.

Concern #3:

School Level Plan

Action Plans

Goal #1: Ensure that there is a system within the school that fully ensures school-wide use of data that is

focused on school improvement and the academic growth of all students

Indicators of Effectiveness: Type: Interim

Data Source: DIBELS NEXT Benchmark

Specific Targets: Increase the percentage of students who achieve benchmark on Oral

Reading Fluency in grades K-4 by 10% at end of year .

Type: Interim

Data Source: Easy CBM Math

Specific Targets: Increase the percentage of students who score in the 40th - 99th

percentile in grades 1 - 4 by 10% at the end of the year annually for three years.

Strategies:

Vertical and Horizontal Professional Learning Communities Description:

2014-2015 Improvement Evaluation

Describe the success from the first year plan. The school maintained a methodical approach to problem solving. All Professional Learning Communities focused on quantitative data to better understand what we need to do to improve performance. We are studying the new curriculum and providing professional development to our teams to ensure appropriate analysis of ASPIRE data and selection of the best strategies for addressing student deficiencies (standards based).

Describe the continuing areas of concern from the first year plan.

The school remains concerned about test results and improving student assessment results to meet state standard requirements. In addition, we are concerned about the level and fidelity of parent involvement with academics at both home and school.

Describe the initiatives that have been revised.

Since the school team developed a three year plan, it was decided that we should continue with the initiatives already in place. We included the use of the state's SLO's and the ASPIRE (standards based curriculum) assessment data as additional monitoring tools. These additions further support action plans and implementation steps identified to meet established achievement/growth goals.
