SCHOOL PROFILE/DEMOGRAPHICS

VISION Through effective and proactive leadership, we will unlock the potential of all learners. MISSION Our mission is to positively impact the residents of this community through educational and economic empowerment by providing sound academic programs spanning from literacy through vocational certification.

Brief History and Background of the School

D. A. Dorsey Educational Center was built in 1936 as Dorsey High School. In the 1950’s, the school was converted to D.A. Dorsey Junior High School. In 1967, Dorsey Junior High was closed. The school was retrofitted and reopened in 1969 as Miami Dorsey Skills Center. In the mid 1970’s the school acquired the name Miami Dorsey Adult Education Center. Between 1991 and 1993, the school was renamed D. A. Dorsey Educational Center. The school now offers postsecondary technical education programs in nine major areas and the Adult General Education program.

The school is located in the heart of Liberty City at 7100 Northwest 17th Avenue in Miami, Florida. The school is bordered on the east by I-95, and the south by State Road I12. The western boundary consists of warehouses, fast food restaurants and various small businesses. The eastern boundary is residential, which includes single family homes, apartments, and government assisted dwellings. One major residential area on the western border, the Scott Carver Homes, was vacated as part of the massive Hope VI urban renewal project. This renewal project is considered to be a failure. As a result, acres of land stand empty and the remaining structures are condemned. Currently, the school has one off-site campus located at Notre Dame Catholic Church, 130 N.E. 62nd Street. The Notre Dame campus provides instruction to English Language Learners (ELL). The site is a standalone Adult/Vocational Center and serves all of Miami-Dade County.

The Leadership Team consists of the Principal, two Assistant Principals, the Vocational Department Chair, the Adult General Education Department Chair, one Part Time Teacher and one Counselor. There are fourteen full time certified instructional personnel. Part time teachers are hired as program enrollment dictates. These part time teachers have often worked at D. A. Dorsey Educational Center previously and often work day jobs at the feeder high school or other local educational institutions.

Student enrollment is open and fluctuates. Attendance figures are measured in Literacy Completion Points (LCP) and Occupational Completion Points (OCP). Attendance and graduation rates are not compared on a District or State level. The Completion Rate Report is generated through Data in Your Hands. Class size and student to teacher ratio is dependent on personnel funding and student enrollment and cannot be specified as school funding for all purposes is determined from the prior year. This is different from a regular school setting whereby funding is determined through current FTE and class size may be pre-determined based on State and District requirements. D. A. Dorsey Educational Center is not part of the Title I program.

D. A. Dorsey Educational Center is a historical building and continues to need architectural repairs. Currently, there is a construction project underway which will provide needed enhancements to classrooms, including much needed computer labs. The land on which D. A. Dorsey stands was donated by Dr. Dorsey for the purpose of education and must remain a community hub for learning or revert back to the Dorsey family. Due to this unique aspect of its origin, D. A. Dorsey Educational Center has evolved and made changes to programs as community needs dictate.

Unique School Strengths for Next Year

The strength of D. A. Dorsey Educational Center lies in its longevity in the community as an educational institution. It provides a gateway to success for the community. Active alumni are committed to assuring the rich history of D. A. Dorsey is retained and the future will continue to hold valuable education and training at this site. Pharmacy continues to be one program that is unique to D. A. Dorsey and garners attendance from all over Miami-Dade County, as well as Broward County. Considering the current academic environment, D. A. Dorsey will be even more valuable for students to update skills levels and to obtain specific licensure for new employment opportunity. Course offerings are flexible and attempt to accommodate timeframes convenient to neighborhood students. Many of the surrounding schools need support and intervention and are in Correct or Intervene status. This center accommodates many of the needs for high school recovery coursework, GED preparation, skills building to adults for employability, and vocational programs offering licensure or industry certification to support area students in post secondary endeavors.

Unique School Weaknesses for Next Year

Concerns include state and district funding issues to be able to offer the full gamut of available instructional programs. Community housing shutdowns has caused the number of prospective neighborhood students to dwindle. The lack of scholarship funding is a key issue to student enrollment. Campaigns to increase enrollment must continue and denote the employment opportunity available to those that obtain the necessary skills for success, whether it be high school completion, learning English, improving basic skills, or completing a vocational program of study.

Student Demographics

D.A. Dorsey has a large immigrant student population. The largest student group is of Haitian descent. The school implements the adult education open entry policy. Although the process accommodates the socio-economic needs of the students, it creates a transient population for the school. Dorsey has a diversified staff: 2 percent White, 40 percent African American, 3 percent Hispanic, and 55 percent Haitian. Approximately 80 percent of the teaching staff is part-time; therefore, they are paid only for student contact hours.

Subgroups-N/A Adult/Vocational Non-Graded Educational Center Title I-N/A Adult/Vocational Non-Graded Educational Center Free/Reduced Lunch-N/A Adult/Vocational Non-Graded Educational Center Student population is approximately 95% black of which most are of Haitian descent. Immigration and student attendance may provide trend information for future analysis of student achievement.

Student Attendance Rates

N/A Adult/Vocational Non-Graded Educational Center Student enrollment fluctuates. The adult education center is open enrollment. Immigrants come and go based on their mobility within the county as employment or living arrangements change. Other students may be affected by family care arrangements, employment changes, or community housing arrangements.

Student Mobility

N/A Adult/Vocational Non-Graded Educational Center Mobility rates are not indicated in Miami-Dade County Public Schools Accountability Profiles. School history reflects a high mobility as a result of public housing and employment availability, as well as program availability. Students from the feeder pattern high school attend recovery classes as needed and available; AGE and vocational students attend from throughout the county as a result of program convenience. Economics has an impact on attendance, due to funding issues for classes and/or programs, and the need for students to suspend attendance for employment. The ESOL program size is determined by immigrant population.

Student Suspension Rates

Student Retention Rates

Data in Your Hands provides information on enrollment and membership hours by term. Program membership has fluctuated from term to term in part due funding issues impacting classes offered and financial aid availability for vocational program students. The LCP summary reflects fiscal year 2007-2008 Survey F and W total enrollment 1319 and 2008-2009 enrollment 1995, this reflects an increase of 676. The OCP summary reflects consistently like enrollment in programs

Class Size

Page 3: FLORIDA DIFFERENTIATED ACCOUNTABILITY …osi.dadeschools.net/sip/09-10/pdf/8139.pdfThe school is located in the heart of Liberty City at 7100 Northwest 17th Avenue in Miami, Florida.

N/A Adult/Vocational Non-Graded Educational Center Although class size is not applicable due to the adult education status of this school, numerous programs address student achievement and lower class size intermittently. A pull out tutorial program is available in reading and mathematics and a VPI lab is available for vocational students needing to improve skills. D. A. Dorsey Educational Center was chosen to participate in the state initiative to improve reading, STAR Student Achievement in Reading, and had three participants attend training. STAR participants will work with faculty to appropriately infuse strategies for evidence based instruction and to strengthen student skills.

Academic Performance of Feeder Pattern

As an adult center, area schools do not have mandatory attendance to D. A. Dorsey Adult Educational Center and are not reflected in Miami-Dade County data as feeder pattern schools. Many of the surrounding schools need support and intervention and are in Correct or Intervene status. This center accommodates many of the needs for high school recovery coursework, GED preparation, skills building to adults for employability, and vocational programs offering licensure or industry certification to support area students in post secondary endeavors.

Partnerships and Grants

STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT DATA

This center will continue to seek grants specific to enhance adult/vocational programs.

The school participated in the STAR grant and will continue based on funding status of the grant. This grant is a state initiative to improve reading skills of the middle level learner.

The District Adult Bilingual department provides funds for ESOL S.A.V.E.S. classes which has designated entry requirements and a maximum class size.

The school will continue its strong partnership between vocational programs and local industry to build workforce skills.

Partnership with Miami-Dade County Public Schools blood drives provides financial assistance to students.

The construction program will continue to participate in the local Habitat for Humanity and Workforce Miami program, whereby students are given the opportunity weekly to participate in hands on construction activities.

COE, Council on Occupational Excellence accreditation is also pending and will provide additional avenues for financial assistance and a strong partnership with industry.

What strengths and weaknesses were identified in the 2009 data by grade level, subject area, and clusters/strands?

Plan

Although not a requirement by the State in this section of the School Improvement Plan, D. A. Dorsey Educational Center is a non-graded Adult/Vocational Center, it does use the Florida Continuous Improvement Model (FCIM) to promote continuous school improvement. This is reflected in the minutes of EESAC meetings and in the recent self study report for initial accreditation with the Council on Occupational Education (COE). D. A. Dorsey Educational Center is using FCIM which is an evidence-based and performance driven model and encompasses the following components:

• Data disaggregation and analysis is utilized. Lead teachers have disaggregated Data in Your Hands reports as a method of self study for both COE and basic program improvement. A review of available data is done annually, during each trimester, and as needed for self study program reporting. A collaborative method is utilized to analyze results.

Instructional Calendar Development

What is the process for developing, implementing, and monitoring an Instructional Focus Calendar for reading, writing, mathematics, and science?

Which instructional Benchmarks will be given priority focus, based on need, for each content area (reading, writing, mathematics, and science)?

What is the process to ensure instruction is based on individual students’ needs, as opposed to the master schedule?

How does the school incorporate applied and integrated courses to help students see the relationships between subjects and relevance to their future?

How does the school incorporate students’ academic and career planning, as well as promote student course selections, so that students’ course of study is personally meaningful?

• Instructional Focus is maintained by each teacher through the development of a course syllabus and long range plans aligned to State and District standards for each trimester and for each course of study. • Instructional lessons are based on identified need and are integrated with other subjects and differentiated based on student needs. • Professional development is offered by the District as necessary to enhance instruction. • Individual class adjustments are made as identified through regular program observation. • Tutorial classes are in place and focused on FCAT retakes as well as adult general education performance needs. • Maintenance activities are scheduled and include program self study reviews, informal and formal observations, and regular EESAC meetings. • Monitoring is completed by program administrators each trimester in a review and analysis of data. Informal monitoring is done throughout the year at weekly staff meetings. Classroom visits are made daily. Meetings with instructional teams are scheduled monthly.

Planning for school improvement is a result of data to determine LCP and OCP increase from previous year and opportunities to demonstrate performance improvement as related to instructional hours. There is no FCAT data of grade level, subject area, and cluster/strands.

N/A Adult/Vocational Non-Graded Educational Center Instructional personnel will develop individualized long range plans based on teaching assignment and term.
