Introduction
The process of Improvement Planning in Kentucky is used as the means of determining how schools and districts will plan to
ensure that students reach proficiency and beyond by 2015. The process focuses school and district improvement efforts on
student needs by bringing together all stakeholders to plan for improvement, by focusing planning efforts on priority needs and
closing achievement gaps between subgroups of students, by building upon school and district capacity for high quality
planning, and by making connections between the funds that flow into the district and the priority needs in schools. Your
school's plans for improvement must be based on careful and honest analysis of data, address all content areas, and clearly
address gaps in student achievement.

Introduction Every school has its own story to tell. The context in which teaching and learning takes place influences the processes and procedures by
which the school makes decisions around curriculum, instruction, and assessment. The context also impacts the way a school stays faithful
to its vision. Many factors contribute to the overall narrative such as an identification of stakeholders, a description of stakeholder
engagement, the trends and issues affecting the school, and the kinds of programs and services that a school implements to support student
learning.
The purpose of the Executive Summary (ES) is to provide a school with an opportunity to describe in narrative form the strengths and
challenges it encounters. By doing so, the public and members of the school community will have a more complete picture of how the school
perceives itself and the process of self-reflection for continuous improvement. This summary is structured for the school to reflect on how it
provides teaching and learning on a day to day basis.

Description of the School
Describe the school's size, community/communities, location, and changes it has experienced in the last three years. Include
demographic information about the students, staff, and community at large. What unique features and challenges are associated
with the community/communities the school serves? McBrayer Elementary student population is 528 students Kindergarten through fifth grade. McBrayer is located at 550 Viking Drive directly
across from Rowan County Senior High School. The school is also surrounded by local hardwood lumber industry as well as other
corporations, restaurants, and Maysville Community Technical College. Student Population consists of 46% females and 54% males. The
ethnicity make up of students at McBrayer Elementary consists of 91% Caucasian, 2.4% Asian, 1.8% African American, 3.0% Hispanic, and
2% other ethnicities. McBrayer has 23 homeroom teachers, 2 special education teachers, part time art and part time music teacher , 1
speech/language teacher as well as a 1.5 P.E. teachers , and .6 media specialist. The support staff consists of 3 custodians, 4 cooks, 2
secretaries, 1 full time nurse in the health unit and 13 paraprofessionals. Administrative Staff consists of a full time Guidance Counselor, a
part time Curriculum Resource Teacher, a Title 1/RTI Support Teacher, and the Family Resource Center Coordinator. McBrayer has an
outdoor classroom that teachers use to help incorporate core curriculum into the outdoor learning environment.
McBrayer is identified as a Leader In Me School and uses leadership strategies to support achievement and student involvement in
theschool community. McBrayer has a superior partnership with Rowan County Senior High School located on the same campus. McBrayer
also has a strong partnership with Morehead State University through a Professional Development School Model and a supportive Parent
Teacher Organization.
McBrayer Elementary has been identified as a focus school based on the 2014- 2015 KPREP scores. Teachers and staff consistently work
together to build a true Professional Learning Community, measuring data, and making instructional decisions by implementing research
based best practices to help McBrayer move forward with continuous progress. The goals for the 2014-2015 testing window will be to
increase the percentage for proficient/distinguished students for reading and math; increase the program review area for needs improvement
to proficient, as well as sustain proficient areas; and reduce number of students scoring at the novice level in math and reading.
McBrayer Elementary, as well as the Rowan County School District, has been faced with a decrease in funding education. This has caused
MES to face several challenges such as a decrease in services provided by a media specialist, in addition to the fact that student/teacher
ratios have increased, and support teachers caseloads have increased. Common planning has only been possible during the day for grade
level teachers and not for special area teachers. This does not allow specials teachers to collaborate with the regular education teachers.
Common planning which is used by teachers to collaboratively plan instruction, generate assessments, and evaluate student learning, is
essential in sustaining progress and increasing student achievement. Co- teaching pairs of teachers have been given one day a semester to
plan and discuss common teaching methods in the classroom to improve co- teaching strategies. Special area teachers plan and meet
together on Thursdays before school to conduct a PLC to discuss common activities that will enhance units of study across contents. This
will ensure that program reviews and student activities continue to be enhanced.

School's Purpose
Provide the school's purpose statement and ancillary content such as mission, vision, values, and/or beliefs. Describe how the
school embodies its purpose through its program offerings and expectations for students. The mission, vision and beliefs of McBrayer Elementary is to assist all students in reaching high levels of academic performance enhanced
through an emphasis on independent thinking, physical and emotional well being and proper social skills. Combined efforts of students,
parents and community, help foster growth in those areas; thus creating and promoting productive citizens.
McBrayer's staff and Site Base Decision Making Council members continually search and discuss best practices that will support and
motivate all students to be successful. Stakeholders and the school Lighthouse Team, in addition to SBDM council, developed MES's
mission, vision and beliefs. Stakeholders hold one another accountable for keeping the mission, vision and beliefs moving forward through
self and group assessment.
McBrayer staff meets throughout the academic year and in Professional Learning Committees to review informal and formal assessment
data, develop unit plans, and discuss strategies to improve student learning. An administrative Advisory team meets three times a year with
each teacher to review student data, plan and reflect on best practices. Response To Intervention committee meetings are held to discuss
individual needs of at-risk students and develop a plan for student success.

leadership luncheon each month. Three times a year, a school-wide celebration is held for students to recognize them for various
achievements: MAP tests, Dibels, art, music, PE, library, attendance, classroom leaders and school leaders.Stakeholders have developed a
plan to increase a program for other students who exhibit leadership qualities in 2015 -16.
The Leader in Me program helps to build leaders at McBrayer Elementary. The focus is to work toward a Kentucky Lighthouse School. The
National Let's Move Active School has also been awarded to McBrayer. McBrayer, also, received the Fuel Up to Play grant sponsored by the
American Dairy Association and the NFL.
The goal for the 2015- 2016 testing window will be to increase the percentage for proficient/distinguished students for reading and math;
increase the program review area for needs improvement to proficient, as well as sustain proficient areas; and reduce number of students

Additional Information
Provide any additional information you would like to share with the public and community that were not prompted in the previous
sections. The McBrayer Elementary School Comprehensive Improvement Planning process began in the fall of 2015. In September, the school faculty
and Site Base Decision Making Group, Planning Committee and Lighthouse Team met to review the existing Comprehensive School
Improvement Plan (CSIP).
In October, the faculty met in grade level groups to analyze previous end of year data, classroom baseline assessment results, and MAP
data. The faculty participated in a two hour school-wide data review day to discuss test scores and develop strategies/activities to address
school needs. Since the beginning of the year, PLC grade level groups have met weekly during common planning to discuss assessments,
strategies and activities to help meet the various needs of students. A parent survey was conducted via AdvancEd to include stakeholder
input. In October, the Principal Advisory Leadership Team met with all teachers individually to review classroom data and discuss strategies
and activities to support improvements in reading, math, writing and school culture. The findings of the data reviews were a primary
contributing factor to the CSIP process.
In January, the SBDM Council, PTO , Lighthouse Team and Faculty will review, implement suggestions and approve the CSIP.
The following tools/information were used:
Informal and formal classroom assessments
KPREP test results
SBDM policies and procedures
MAP test results
DIBELS test results
Parent and teacher surveys
Progress Monitoring Information
School wide walkthrough data
common assessments
Implementation and Impact checks are completed by the principal and shared with stakeholders each semester to evaluate the effectiveness
of the plan and make integral changes.

Data Analysis
What question(s) are you trying to answer with the data and information provided to you? What does the data/information tell you?
What does the data/information not tell you? McBrayer Elementary has been identified as a focus school previously based on KPREP data. In 2014 McBrayer was identified as proficient
school based on the program review, student achievement and student growth data. Again in 2015 based on KPREP data McBrayer was
identified as a focus school due to not meeting all AMO goals. The data indicates weaknesses in Tier 1, classroom instruction. The
Comprehensive Improvement Plan is focused on student achievement for all students in reading, math and writing. There are goals to
support consistent programs in the areas of Arts/Humanities, Practical Living, Primary Program and Writing. Parents reported on the Missing
Piece survey that stakeholders are welcomed by the school staff and the students perceive themselves as cared for by staff. Parents
however would appreciate meetings and communication to occur in a variety of ways and on a more parent friendly schedule. Parents
presently receive information through newsletters, teacher webpages, phone systems and notes in agenda books. After disaggregating the
parent survey data it was determined that parent meeting opportunities and times need to vary to accommodate parents in order to increase
parent involvement.

Areas of Strengths
What were the areas of strength you noted? What actions are you implementing to sustain the areas of strength? What is there
cause to celebrate? McBrayer has a very dedicated and hard working faculty, staff, community, parent group, and students. We are confident that being a focus
school will not be our status in the upcoming year. McBrayer was identified as a proficient school based on the 2013-2014 KPREP data.
McBrayer Elementary implements the Leader In Me Program and is dedicated to building leaders in the school and community.Teachers
disaggregate student formative and summative data and make instructional decisions by implementing research based best practices to help
McBrayer students move forward with continuous progress. The goal for 2015-2016 testing window will be to close the achievement gap in
the area of reading and math as well as improve writing mechanics. We are focused on consistent growth in the program review areas. Staff
will continue to have weekly data meetings, school wide celebrations, and teacher one on one discussions to improve student engagement
and effectiveness.

Opportunities for Improvement
What were areas in need of improvement? What plans are you making to improve the areas of need? Specific objectives for 2015- 2016 school year are to increase proficiency for all students in the areas of reading, math and writing. There is
also a need to improve specific areas in Writing, Arts and Humanities, Primary Program and Practical Living Program Reviews as well as set
a benchmark for World Language and Global Competency. There are embedded strategies and activities in the CSIP to support those areas.
In addition, the goal for the 2015-2016 is to move more students into the proficient and distinguished
categories in all academic areas. The Comprehensive Improvement Plan is focused on student achievement in all these areas. Developing
strong program reviews and teacher effectiveness through the TPGES system is also crucial.

Conclusion
Reflect on your answers provided in the previous sections. What are your next steps in addressing areas of concern? In 2014-2015 McBrayer Elementary was named a proficient school. Goals were met in the areas of Social Studies and Math. Numerous
steps have been taken to improve instruction and academic sucess at McBrayer. Professional development on Co-Teaching for GAP
Closure, Reading Small Group Instruction, Writing, Science and the Professional Growth and Effectiveness System have all been planned
and included in the Comprehensive Improvement Plan. Students identified needs through DIBELS/PSI, DNK/SNAP, and GT enrichment
needs will be discussed in PLC and implemented in small group instruction kindergarten through fifth grade. The ESS daytime waiver will be
continued to provide students identified who need extra
support in reading and math skills. Teachers will continue to compile and analyze summative and formative assessment in weekly grade
level PLC meetings using the data team process. Teachers will Implement student goal setting and self reflection as a class and individual
activity on an ongoing basis. McBrayer will use CHAMPS, Clip Up Clip Down, and 7 Habits procedures for classroom and school wide
behavior system. The SBDM council will develop polices that will continue to support a highly collaborative, data driven, community of
learners.

Introduction The process of Improvement Planning in Kentucky is used as the means of determining how schools and districts will plan to ensure that
students reach proficiency and beyond by 2015. The process focuses school and district improvement efforts on student needs by bringing
together all stakeholders to plan for improvement, by focusing planning efforts on priority needs and closing achievement gaps between
subgroups of students, by building upon school and district capacity for high quality planning, and by making connections between the funds
that flow into the district and the priority needs in schools.
Your school’s plans for improvement must be based on careful and honest analysis of data, address all content areas, and clearly address
gaps in student achievement.

Reflection
Reflect upon your responses to each of the Missing Piece objectives. McBrayer Elementary sudents participate in school wide events and interact with leadership and teachers on an ongoing basis. MES's Parent
Organization and SBDM with parent participation holds monthly meetings to allow input and discussions that will support MES. This is a
strength for our school environment. A need that we need to improve is to schedule and provide specific training sessions for parents based
on needs that they may have. There is a need for a question and answer meeting to find out what trainings and support parents would like to
see held that will support them in working with their children. We plan on working with our PTO, parent leaders and FRC to help plan parent
focused events.

Improvement Planning Process
Improvement Planning Process
Describe the process used to engage a variety of stakeholders in the development of the institution's improvement plan. Include
information on how stakeholders were selected and informed of their roles, and how meetings were scheduled to accommodate
them. Stakeholders were sent emails by teachers and administration, a phone call was made using our district phone system and a remind 101
message was sent by the principal asking parents and stakeholders to participate in a survey listed on the AdvancED site. The school
leadership also offered stakeholders access to a computer in the school to be able to participate in a school survey. Information was provided
in the school newsletter and an email was sent also notifying parents and stakeholders that MES was seeking their input in the school's
improvement plan. Members of the planning committee and adminsitration team used information shared by stakeholders to develop the
school improvment plan. Describe the representations from stakeholder groups that participated in the development of the improvement plan and their
responsibilities in this process. Teachers and staff members worked during planning sessions to review and help develop strategies and activities to
help address the needs of our school based on school data. SBDM and parent PTO memvers were invited to share suggestions with
leadership on suggestions for improvment. The SBDM council comprised of school administration, teachers
and parents reviewed the previous years CSIP and discussed activities and strategies that would support closing the achievement gap for
the 2015-2016 school year. After all suggestions from teacher/staffs working session and the SBDM meeting were discussed the planning
committee comprised of teachers, staff and parents developed the CSIP and leadership submitted it the PTO, school teachers and staff for
their last input. The leadership then submitted the CSIP to the SBDM council for approval. Explain how the final improvement plan was communicated to all stakeholders, and the method and frequency in which
stakeholders receive information on its progress. The CSIP was shared with parents at a PTO meeting for parents to review. At a faculty meeting the teachers and staff reviewed the CSIP.
The SBDM council approved the school's CSIP before submitting it to the RCBOE for approval. After approval the school's CSIP is displayed
on the school and district website for all stakeholders to view on an ongoing basis. At each monthly SBDM meeting the council reviews any
updates made to the CSIP after completion of any strategies and activities throughout the year. Updates are made to the CSIP on an
ongoing basis through the AdvancED site.

Introduction In response to recent tragic events in our nation’s schools, during the 2013 legislative session the Kentucky General Assembly took action,
through the passage of Senate Bill 8/House Bill 354, to assure that our schools are safer places for students and staff to work and learn.
Among other things, SB8/HB354 required changes to emergency plan requirements, the development of school safety practices, and
additional severe weather, lockdown and earthquake drills. The bill also required local school district superintendents to verify to the
Kentucky Department of Education that all schools in the district are in compliance with these requirements. This diagnostic is the means by
which this reporting is accomplished.

Introduction As part of No Child Left Behind (NCLB) each state is required to develop strategies to ensure that poor and minority children are not taught at
higher rates than other children by inexperienced, unqualified, or out-of-field teachers. The results of this effort became a national push to
ensure all teachers were highly qualified (HQT); meaning each teacher holds the appropriate certification for the content and/or grade level
for which they are assigned. National data show that poor and minority continue to be taught by inexperienced, unqualified, or out-of-field
teachers. As a result, in 2014, the United States Department of Education (USDOE) required states to develop equity plans and use
evidence based strategies to address this issue. The focus of the plan is to move away from the concept of “highly qualified” to “high
effective”.

Equitable Access Strategies
Placement: Describe school policies or procedures that address the assignment of students to ensure low income and minority
students are not assigned to inexperienced, ineffective or out-of-field teachers more often than their peers who are not identified
as low income or minority students. The SBDM has a student placement policy that ensures that all classrooms are heterogeneously grouped. Teacher input on the following
years teacher is also taken into account. Teacher requests are not taken however parents have access to a parent input survey that allows
them to share strengths, weaknesses and what type of a learner the parent feels the student is. All of this information is used to make
classroom placements. Placement: How is data used to make student assignment decisions to ensure low income, minority, Limited English Proficient
and Exceptional Children and Youth are not assigned to inexperienced, ineffective or out-of-field teachers more often than their
peers? Teachers and staff fill out student questionnaires/cards on each student at the end of the year. ELL, Special Education, Behavior, RTI, Gifted
and Talented categories are reviewed to ensure that there is an equal, heterogeneous, boy/girl ratio grouping for each teacher homeroom. Recruitment and Retention: How does the school analyze student level data to design targeted recruitment of effective and diverse
teachers? Individual teacher data teams are held three times a year to look at student growth and classroom trend data. Strengths and weaknesses are
discussed among the administrative team and teacher placement is determined based on student, grade level and school needs.
McBrayer works closely with Morehead State University and the teacher education department to implement the Professional Partnership
Network that places teacher majors in the classrooms being mentored by highly trained mentor teachers. Recruiting these students is easily
done due to the fact that they spend many hours bonding with teachers, staff and families in the school more frequently than typical teacher
candidates. Recruitment and Retention: How does the school recruit teachers who are effective in implementing practices that are targeted to
support the diverse learning needs of minority students, low income students, Limited English Proficient and Exceptional Children
and Youth?

Recruitment and Retention: How does the school retain effective teachers? Identify any incentives. Teachers work closely to support each other in professional learning communities. Time is allotted for teachers to meet in PLC groups
weekly in the master schedule. Teachers and administration work closely identifying student and teacher needs. Administration support and
professional development in areas identified on teacher professional growth plans are provided by region, district, and school personnel.
School committees, teachers, and administration work together to provide ongoing teacher moral boosters such as Star Awards named
weekly in Monday Messages, School Newsletters, emails, staff get togethers and PTO sponsored events. Professional Learning: Identify supports, including mentoring and/or induction, provided to meet the needs of first year,
inexperienced and out-of-field teachers. Rowan County School District provides monthly new teacher meetings that support in and out of the classroom needs of a new teacher. MES
administration pairs new teachers up with mentor teachers to ensure school wide procedures and routines are known by all stakeholders.
Administration at MES provided new staff trainings prior to the school year beginning to support staff in core and Tier programs that are
available at MES to support teacher and student needs. Professional Learning: Utilizing PGES data, how are the professional learning needs of teachers with an effectiveness rating
below accomplished addressed? Teachers in the developing and ineffective domains are provided multiple avenues of support. Curriculum Resource Teachers and
administration provides feedback, training, and materials to support teachers who have professional learning needs. Professional
development is designed and access is given to all new teachers or teachers who are identified as needing to improve instruction, and their
classroom environment. Working Conditions: How are TELL Kentucky results being addressed to increase recruitment, retention and professional learning
needs of staff? The TELL survey is reviewed with Parents, SBDM, teachers and staff on an ongoing basis to support improvement on working conditions at
MES. Teacher input on the TELL Survey is used to support identified areas in need of improvement in the school culture.
