Stakeholder Involvement in School Improvement Planning: Briefly explain how stakeholders are involved in the development, review, and communication of the SIP.

In August 2018, Enterprise Elementary stakeholders collaborated to revise the mission and vision statements

representing our school. Enterprise mission and vision statements are shared on the school website and broadcasted on

WETV news, as well as included in monthly school newsletters. The School Improvement Plan (SIP) has been

developed with faculty, staff, and School Advisory Council (SAC) input. As a faculty, data sources were [MP1]analyzed

to determine school-wide needs and the objective for this plan. When developing the SIP, the school-based leadership

team utilized [MP2]parent survey results and notes from previous SAC meetings to gather parent input. Parents and

community members were [MP3]notified, provided access, and encouraged to review the SIP draft via the school

newsletter and paper copies located in the front office. Teachers, along with staff members, provided [MP4]suggestions

during Professional Learning Team (PLT) meetings and Data Team meetings. Teachers connected [MP5]and aligned

school improvement goals with the District Strategic plan, previous school-wide goals, personal performance, and

student achievement results. The SIP is available in the front office and on the[MP6] school website throughout the year.

School Improvement Plan

2018-2019

Part 1: Planning for Student Achievement

RATIONALE – Continuous Improvement Cycle Process

Data Analysis from multiple data sources: Please consider the priority indicators selected from your school BPIE and EDI Insight Survey results within the rationale of

your SIP.

What are the areas of successful professional practices and what data shows evidence of improvements? What are the concerns with professional practices and what

data shows evidence of opportunities for growth?

Strengths: Instructional Culture Index Results Fall 2017: 9.8

Instructional Culture Index results from 2017 demonstrate a significant overall increase of 1.5, earning an index score of

9.8 in comparison to the Fall 2016 index score of 8.3. Enterprise Elementary’s Cultural Index historically reveals

percentile ranks of high achievement under the domains of Learning Environment, Peer Culture, and Leadership.

Enterprise stakeholders work diligently to develop an atmosphere of cooperation and teamwork in order to increase

professional practices and student achievement. Professionally, we know we perform better when we focus on sharing

best practices, teaching to the full intent of the Florida Standards, and learning together. Thus, development of Peer

Culture through increased opportunities of collaboration and collegiality are prime areas of focus at Enterprise

Elementary.

During the last two academic school years (2015-2016 and 2016-2017), Enterprise administrators focused on increasing performance under the “foundational” domain of Observation and Feedback. These efforts directly align with District Strategic Plan Objective L2, supporting educator effectiveness and building capacity of teachers to improve student outcomes and close achievement gaps. As a result, observation and feedback practices either meet or exceed the Brevard top quartile averages. Subsequent growth under the domain of Evaluation enabled “expectations for effective teaching” to become clearly defined increasing ratings from 75% in the Fall of 2016 to 98% in the Fall of 2017.

Improvements under the aforementioned domains along with Career Progression serve as leading indicators of both teacher retention and student achievement. Ninety-five percent [MP7]of Enterprise teachers feel leaders at our school work hard to retain effective teachers. Positive anecdotal responses related to teacher satisfaction and retention strategies revealed the top 3 (most important reasons) to continue working at Enterprise Elementary included:

1. Positive school culture and learning environment 2. Staff collegiality and collaboration/relationships with staff and feeder chain groups proved effective in learning

best practices for effective teaching and learning 3. Inspiring school leadership

Strengths: Best Practices for Inclusive Education (BPIE)

71% 78% 84.10%

Over the past 3 years, Enterprise stakeholders have consistently grown and improved inclusion practices. During the 2017-2018 academic year, Enterprise Elementary exceeded the state target of 83% with an inclusion percentage of 84.10%. In addition, Enterprise performed significantly better than the district’s average of 75% students with disabilities (SWDs) included in general education classes. In alignment with the District Strategic Plan (Objective L4), Enterprise stakeholders worked collaboratively to monitor and continuously improve professional practices to ensure equitable support for every student’s social-emotional development.

In addition, Enterprise welcomed two new programs providing SWDs from ages 3-5, special education and related services with peers without disabilities. In 2017-2018, Head Start 3 year olds and Head Start Voluntary Prekindergarten (VPK) 4 year olds joined the Enterprise family. The purpose of both programs is to promote school readiness and success by enhancing the social and cognitive development of children through the provision of health, educational, nutritional, social-emotional and other services. ESE teachers, Speech and Language Pathologists, and Occupational Therapist(s) collaborated with Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten teachers to design “Sensory Areas” in their classroom environments to increase success of SWDs inclusion in the general education setting.

Strengths: Instructional Personnel Performance Assessment System (IPPAS)

According to the Instructional Personnel Performance Assessment System (IPPAS) trend analysis, Enterprise teachers demonstrate consistent growth and improvement under the following targeted Dimension:

Opportunities: Instructional Culture Index Results Fall 2017

Although Enterprise stakeholders continue to cultivate an exceptional place to work and learn, we have identified areas of opportunity and a need for growth and improvement. During the 2017-2018 academic year, the Culture Index report indicated index scores that fell below the average rating for schools in Brevard under the domains of Instructional Planning for Student Growth and Academic Expectations. The top three areas for opportunity include:

Opportunities: Instructional Personnel Performance Assessment System (IPPAS)

Although 2017-2018 IPPAS evaluation results indicate growth, Enterprise teachers have room for improvement. Additional time and work must be devoted to understanding how the standards differ from previous standards and the “shifts” essential in implementing the standards. Data indicates continuous areas for opportunity and growth as follows:

Dimension & Element Targeted 2017-2018 Dimension 1 Element III: Designs ways to monitor learning and student acquisition of the standards (full depth and rigor)

includes culminating writing tasks requiring students to support answers with evidence 67%

Dimension 2: Element VII: Maintains a climate of inquiry. Engages all students in problem solving inquiry-based activities

through the use of high level questioning techniques (text-dependent questions) and shared inquiry/

Socratic discussions that generate real world applications (student-led)

51%

Dimension 3: Element II: Employs higher order questions. Strategic teacher questioning and text-dependent questions require

students to think critically, problem solve, and defend or justify answers. Students respond and build

on peers’ thinking and ideas

54%

Given the lower percentages above, Enterprise teachers must continue to focus on the alignment of instructional strategies and student tasks (demonstrating the full intent/rigor of the standards), employing higher order questions (critical thinking skills) and strategic questioning (text-dependent), and utilization of common formative assessments and writing to monitor student progress.

Opportunities for Growth: Best Practices for Inclusive Education (BPIE)

In English Language Arts (ELA), the number of disabled students earning a level 3 or above decreased by 3.7%. In Math, the number of disabled students earning a level 3 or above decreased by 10.3%. Given the results above, Enterprise teachers must continue to focus on the alignment of instructional strategies and student tasks (demonstrating the full intent/rigor of the standards), employing higher order questions (critical thinking skills) and strategic questioning (text-dependent), and utilization of common formative assessments to monitor student progress.

What are the areas of successful student achievement and what data shows evidence of improvements? What are the concerns with student achievement? Specify

subgroups that represent concerns. Provide data to support concerns.

Successful Student Achievement: According to the 2017 Florida Kindergarten Literacy Survey (KLS) results, 98% of Enterprise kindergarteners entered school demonstrating proficiency in understanding organization/basic features of print and recognizing the name of upper/lower case letters. In addition, 97% of kindergarten students demonstrated basic knowledge of letter-sound correspondences by producing the most frequent sound for each consonant.

MTSS & EARLY WARNING SYSTEMS Please complete 1 – 4.

1. Describe your school’s data-based problem-solving process and school-based structures in place to

address MTSS implementation.

The school-based leadership team includes the Principal, Assistant Principal, Guidance Counselor, Literacy Coach, SAC

Chair, and Intermediate ESE Teacher. Each of the team’s members supports and collaborates in team meetings and

Individual Problem Solving Team meetings.

Assist with monitoring student progress and data review, inclusive practices

school-wide, collaboration with teachers, and participating on the School

Improvement Leadership Team.

Data Team Meetings are held with the Enterprise school-based leadership team consisting of the Principal, Assistant

Principal, Guidance Counselor, School Psychologist, Literacy Coach, ESE teacher(s), and General Education teacher(s).

Data team meetings focus on proactive strategies in monitoring student progress and identifying specific interventions

needed to meet the social-emotional and academic needs of every student.

In the first Data Team Meeting, instructional staff from all grade levels will collaborate in analyzing reading data collected

during the first four-five weeks of school. Administration, guidance, grade level teams, and ESE staff work together to

identify the problem causing each student to be working below grade level expectations. Students are grouped by common

skill/learning gaps and placed in an appropriate group to alleviate academic deficiencies. During the walk to intervention

model, all students are provided with appropriate instruction.

Every staff member will instruct a specific tiered group. Each member is carefully selected for a group based on their

experience and expertise. All instructional staff working with a group during RtI will participate in monthly MTSS data

review meetings to discuss student performance data, interventions being used, and their impact on student achievement.

Students will be placed into tiered levels based on triangulated data sources [MP21][ME22]including FSA scores, i-Ready

reports, state and local assessments, teacher created common formative assessments, and student classroom performance.

All students will participate in a walk to intervention model called SMART time beginning in October 2018. Students will

meet with their instructor each day from 8:05 – 8:35am. During this time, enrichment is provided in addition to the Tier 2

and Tier 3 groups.

Enterprise teachers utilize i-Ready by Curriculum Associates as a primary tool to monitor student progress. The i-Ready

software package delivers research-based student instruction, performance diagnostics and progress reports based on K-12

Common Core State Standards (CCSS) in Mathematics and Reading. Students take the i-Ready Diagnostic and receive

differentiated online instruction according to their ability, while stakeholders receive customized reports on student

performance and progress throughout the year. Teachers receive detailed reports on each student’s diagnostic performance

including their overall grade-level in Mathematics and Reading and grade-level for sub-skills in both subjects. Reading

sub-skills include Phonological Awareness, Informational Text Comprehension and other language competencies. Math

sub-skills include Measurement and Data and Geometry. The diagnostic assigns each student into a profile group based on

their diagnostic grade level, which is useful for small group activities and delivering differentiated instruction.

Student progress in MTSS is monitored using a data wall, Performance Matters, and i-Ready Assessment Reports. The

school’s data wall posts quantitative data related to student progress in reading and math. The data is updated regularly and

student progress is monitored consistently. SIP is monitored through in-process measures by the school’s leadership team

and SAC. Classroom observations and specific feedback support high quality core instruction and high quality

instructional delivery during intervention.

SAC and PTO funds will be used to purchase programs and materials that will be impactful for students enrolled in the

2018-2019 school year.

In alignment with the District Strategic Plan (Objective L4), Enterprise stakeholders work collaboratively to monitor and

continuously improve professional practices to ensure equitable support for every student’s social-emotional development.

Therefore, in the Spring of 2018, Enterprise teachers began implementing a research-based social emotional program

called Sanford Harmony. Sanford Harmony is an SEL program designed to cultivate strong classroom relationships

between all students. The primary goal of Harmony is to incorporate specialized teaching strategies into classroom

activities—from preschool through sixth grade—in an effort to reduce bullying, and help develop the youth of today into

tolerant, compassionate, and caring adults for the future. Enterprise teachers continue to implement the Sanford Harmony

program to create classrooms where students are empowered to: communicate, cooperate, connect, embrace diversity, and

resolve conflict.

Areas of BPIE focus: Priority Indicator #3 –LEA Representative, Jobie Woltman, will coordinate and monitor implementation of inclusive practices at Enterprise

Elementary. Monthly ESE Team meetings led by District Exceptional Education Support Specialist will provide ongoing opportunities to

discuss how to support our SWDs success within inclusive settings.

Priority Indicator #13 – All SWDs are given equal consideration for recognition through honors, awards, etc. Life skill Leader Awards have

been added to our quarterly Quality Award Ceremonies to increase the opportunities for our SWDs to be recognized for their demonstration of

life skills such as Effort, Responsibility, and Integrity.

Priority Indicator #18 – Specials, electives, and technical education teachers have regular opportunities to consult with special education

teachers. Annually, ESE teachers meet with Activity Teachers to share IEP accommodations and Behavior Intervention Plans for our SWDs.

Activity Teachers implement a school-wide Activity Behavior System, providing common behavior expectations, daily self-reflection and

feedback opportunities, class and individual behavior progress monitoring, and quarterly sessions to celebrate success and reteach Life skills as

needed. Activity Teachers communicate with ESE Teachers when a SWD needs additional support in order to successfully participate during

Activity Class. ESE teachers provide additional instruction and support in necessary Life Skills and/or Social Emotional Skills to enable SWDs

to succeed in an inclusive environment. Activity Teachers implement individualized behavior interventions as needed.

The following action steps related to Enterprise’s data-based problem-solving process and school-based structures align to

the District Strategic Plan Leading and Learning (Objective L2) supporting educator effectiveness and building

capacity of teachers to improve student outcomes and close achievement gaps.

The MTSS monthly meetings facilitate collegial discussions based on current data for individual students. Teachers

discuss the effects of collaboratively planned lessons and small group interventions. Specifically, teachers engage in

reflective practices to determine if lessons and interventions result in positive student learning results. Focus is placed on

the texts utilized during instruction and student tasks to ensure standards-aligned instruction is provided. Instructional

impacts on student achievement are measured by analyzing local and state level assessment results. Lesson plans and

interventions are adjusted to increase learning opportunities for all students. During the MTSS meeting, the team is

responsible for finding trends in the data and discussing possible interventions that may help individual students make

adequate progress.

The main source of data collection for Tier 1 and Tier 2 will be utilized through the i-Ready research-based reading

program taken monthly.

-Tier 2 data will be collected bi-weekly focused on the intervention provided

-Tier 3 data will be collected weekly focused on the intervention provided

-When Tier 2 interventions are not effective, an IPST (Tier III) meeting [MP23]will be conducted for the student with the

parent as part of the team. This meeting is designed to be diagnostic and prescriptive. Intervention data and a cumulative

history of the student’s progress are examined to help determine why the learner is unresponsive to the instruction and

interventions provided.

As a Glasser Quality School, Enterprise stakeholders take pride in building strong relationships and developing each

student’s social-emotional needs and life skills. With relentless effort, we strive to create a safe, inclusive, family oriented

learning environment for all of our students and families.

We realize the more our students feel love and compassion from their teachers, the more likely they are to come to school

every day and on time. Attendance is monitored closely and district procedures are followed to ensure our students are in

school and receiving instruction. Enterprise teachers are the front line defense for attendance and are expected to call home

when students have been absent more than three times. Teachers report attendance concerns to the guidance counselor

who maintains a log. Open communication between all stakeholders is the key to monitoring attendance and other early

warning systems at Enterprise. Per district protocol, parents meet to discuss attendance concerns when they arise.

Students who struggle with following school wide expectations and/or experience suspensions are met with regularly

(check-in/check-out) with an assigned mentor to discuss behavior concerns and proactive strategies to improve student

decision making (life skills/social emotional needs). If additional support and/or interventions are deemed necessary,

student discipline concerns are brought to IPST for further review and strategies. Additional supports include collaboration

with a Behavior Analyst and the use of Behavior Plans aimed at “teaching” students and building strong relationships

through the development of each student’s social-emotional needs and life skills.

Data Team Meetings are designated to review and monitor student progress, instructional strategies and interventions in

place, and the individual needs of students regularly. Enterprise teachers take pride in developing strong communication

between home and school, keeping parents informed of student goals and progress frequently. Additional support and

guidance is provided through IPST meetings, with development of appropriate interventions for each individual student.

The guidance counselor and/or administration provide support as requested by the teacher. Attendance and participation in

the Enterprise Academic Support Program (ASP) is mandatory for all students identified as below grade level or struggling

to meet the Florida Standards as measured on state-mandated assessments (FSA Level 1 score in ELA or Math).

PARENT AND FAMILY INVOLVEMENT: (Parent Survey Data must be referenced) Title I Schools

may use the Parent Involvement Plan to meet the requirements of this section.

Consider the level of family and community involvement at your school and parent survey data collected.

Respond to the following questions. What are best practices that are strengths and how will they be

sustained? What are areas of weaknesses and how are they being addressed?

According to our 2017-2018 Parent Survey, the following information was listed:

84% of our parents feel the school provides a welcoming and safe learning environment

88% of our parents feel teachers help them understand their child’s progress and communication is conveyed in

an easy to understand language

93% of our parents have conversations with their child about his or her learning at school (daily/weekly)

73% of our parents feel that email is the best way to reach them; 64% prefer to receive text messages; 62%

prefer notifications from Peachjar and flyers; 49% prefer notes home in the student agenda; 47% prefer to

receive notes from the teacher

70% of our parents feel school leadership fosters an environment in which staff, parents, and the community

work together to improve student achievement

Our staff uses email and other electronic means as a primary way of communicating with parents. However, we do feel

that meeting face-to-face during student-led [MP24]conferences is an important way to not only communicate with

parents, but also to increase attendance at school functions. Another consideration for encouraging parents to

participate more in decision making and the overall academic achievement in their child’s school is “time of day” each

event is hosted. According to the parent survey, 36% of our parents need additional time in their schedules to

participate. As a school, we can schedule varying events with different start times and days of the week to provide our

parents with more opportunities to attend and participate in school-wide events. Parent Survey results consistently

reveal the need to host the majority of school events Monday-Friday in the evening (47%) or immediately after school

(20%).

To accommodate parents’ schedules, many teachers offer multiple times for conferencing. Student-led

[MP25]conferencing in 2017-2018 was successful overall. Last year, an effective practice that led[MP26] to an increase in

parent involvement and attendance during student-led conference nights was engaging students in formally inviting

their parents. In addition to formal invitations, the school will notify parents of Student-led Conference events via the

Orbit Traveler (planner), school newsletter, school website, and through Blackboard Connect messages.

Collectively, each of these indicators above validate the resources, processes, and structures in place for teaching and

learning at Enterprise Elementary. These results support our mission to provide effective instructional practices, a safe

learning environment, and a means of meeting the academic and social-emotional needs of every Enterprise student.

Areas of opportunity provide Enterprise stakeholders with a vison for continuous improvement. As a community we

will continue to strive for excellence.

STUDENT TRANSITION AND READINESS

PreK-12 TRANSITION This section used to meet requirements of 20 U.S.C 6314(b)(1)(g).

Describe the strategies the school employs to support incoming and outgoing cohorts of students in transition

from one school level to another. (e.g. incoming kindergartners, outgoing 6th graders)

Enterprise stakeholders develop open communication and strong bonds with our community preschool and daycare

centers. We proactively gather information about upcoming kindergarten students to assist in providing needed

support(s) and or intervention(s) immediately upon entering elementary school. Through our fall Kindergarten Round

Up event, we invite all families in our community with incoming kindergarten students to come and see what school

will be like. This event is announced through our school newsletter, our website, and community newspapers and flyers

placed in daycares/preschools in the area.

In the Spring of each year, our team meets with the guidance counselor from our middle school feeder school to discuss

students and their academic progress and individual learning needs. These efforts ensure a seamless transition into the

middle school program.
