Most Notale Oservations/Patterns

Although, as a school, we have a shared vision and a plan for promoting, enhancing and sustaining a positive school climate, we lacktime for teachers to meet with students to identif them as at-risk and assign interventions to support graduation and transition fromhigh school. Teachers are in need of a comprehensive sstem to address the arriers to learning and teaching as well as how to re-engage students who are dis-engaged. Teachers lack the specialized instruction needed to engage our students in post-secondarskills to prepare students for college and career readiness. There is a lack of consistent discipline procedures that are aligned withthe goals of supporting students, their learning and eing respectful to all individuals. Our discipline procedures are not enhancedwith authentic student-driven opportunities for reconciliation when appropriate. Overall classroom instruction is in-effective ecause,novice teachers, who lack re-teaching strategies, content differentiation, remediation and reflection practices, due to an asence ofresponsiilit and ownership of students’ learning as well as minimal meaningful and timel feedack from administration. Theschool communit does not hold ever memer responsile and accountale for ensuring that all students achieve the rigorousoutcomes estalished for them. Teachers do not set high expectations and academic rigor for all students in their instructionalplanning which directl correlates to the schools’ poor test scores.

NAC lacks a culture of high expectations for success for all students, educators,families, and communit memers, there is a need for strategies to ensure aculture of high expectations for student success, we do not currentl haveevidence ased methods of collecting data, that recognize the range of factorsthat shape school climate, administrators need to provide timel and valualefeedack to staff in regards to instructional practices, as a school we need to sethigh expectations for staff and students; as a result state assessments result inpoor achievement.
