School Improvement Plan IntroductionRousseau Mc Clellan 91

This school improvement plan was developed using a vision-based and data-driven process called Vision-to-Action that wasdeveloped by the Indiana Student Achievement Institute. In addition to containing the strategies our school and communityidentified as key to raising student achievement and closing achievement gaps in our school, this plan contains strategies that meetthe expectations of:

Indiana Student Achievement InstitutePL221Title I School WideNCAIPS

Participation

The following people were involved in developing this School Improvement Plan

Teachers Students Parent representatives Community representatives

Process

Those involved in developing this School Improvement Plan participated in a series of discussions related to the Vision-to-Action steps:

1. Establish a local culture of high expectations 2. Create a common vision for student success 3. Analyze achievement data and set realistic data targets for each of the next three years 4. Analyze force field data and identify concerns within the following areas.

Academic expectations Curriculum content Instructional practices Classroom assessment

Extra help Student guidance Learning environment

5. Research strategies to address our concerns and select high-leverage strategies to implement 6. Develop a to-do list for each strategy

Using Data for Decision-Marking

The Vision-to-Action process relies heavily on data as a foundation for decision-making.

1. Achievement Data – To what degree are students prepared for success at the next educational level, and ultimately for successin postsecondary education and a global economy?

2. Force Field Data – What conditions in the school and community interfere with high student achievement? 3. Strategy Data – Is the strategy having the desired impact on adults and students?

Implementation Next Year

Our work next year will be guided by the to-do list that we have developed for each strategy. We will also maintain anImplementation Binder for each strategy that contains the following documents:

1. Strategy Plan 2. Evidence that the strategy was implemented 3. Progress reports (containing strategy evaluation data)

Questions about the School Improvement Plan should be directed to the building principal.

Who Wrote this School Improvement Plan?Many individuals were involved in the creation of this school improvement plan. The Steering Team facilitated discussions involvingall teachers, all students, and community representatives including parents. Once these groups came to consensus on the DataTargets, Areas of Concern, and Strategies, strategy chairs and task forces were established to 1) develop a comprehensiveimplementation plan and 2) ensure that the plan is implemented next year.

Vision StatementThe Vision Statement was developed by all teachers, all students, and members of the community. The foundation of the statementidentifies the core convictions upon which this school improvement plan is built and answers the question, "What do our studentsdeserve in order to be successful learners, responsible citizens, and productive members of a global economy?" The second part ofthe vision statement describes ideal adults who are striving to provide students with the things they deserve. The third part of thevision statement describes the ideal students in a school and community where adults live by their convictions. The last part of thevision statement includes ideal data that represent the community’s dreams. This lofty data serves as the focal point for theremainder of the school improvement plan and requires the school and community to work toward every student succeeding at ahigh level.

We believe all students deserve:

We believe that all students deserve adults who acknowledge their gifts and talents and have high expectations for each individualstudent. We believe that all students deserve to be surrounded by adults who are respectful and take time to get to know eachstudent and who demonstrate a positive, personal connection with each one so that a trusting relationship is established. Webelieve that all students deserve to have adults who recognize differences in learning styles and help students learn in as manydifferent ways as possible. We believe that all students have the right to many opportunities so that they can experience the worldand become productive citizens in the global economy. We believe that all students deserve adults who respect different culturesand who nurture their understanding of their culture. We believe that all students deserve adults who truly listen to them even whenthey donât know how to express what they need. We believe that all students deserve adults who hold the students at the heart andcore of the school and do not make prejudgments about students. We believe that all students who need extra help in order toexperience success deserve to be given the added assistance. We believe that all students deserve adults who see the whole child,not just one small piece. We believe that all students deserve to be taught by adults who demonstrate cultural competency. Webelieve that all students deserve to have adults in their lives who have the courage to do what it takes to see they have the besteducation possible. We believe that all students deserve adults who regularly revisit the key Montessori concepts.

All adults in our community are living by these core convictions daily and as a result, show the following attitudes and actions:

All adults in our community are living by these core convictions daily and as a result show the following attitudes and actions. Allteachers, parents, and community members have high expectations for students and encourage their studentsâ friends and fellowstudents to have high expectations. All adults will provide a safe learning environment at home, at school, and within the community.All adults will serve as role models of healthy behaviors in nutrition, physical activity, and work/school/life balance. All adults willchallenge, encourage and assist students to achieve at their highest level. They will respect students but also demand respect fromstudents. All adults will be sensitive to cultural differences. All adults should have the courage to do what is best for all students. Alladults will demonstrate an attitude of fairness and have time for all students.

In this environment where all adults are living by their core convictions, all students:

In this environment where all adults are living by their core convictions, all students live up to the high expectations of the adults intheir lives. They live in a safe learning environment and are challenged to do their best at school. Students are physically andemotionally healthy. They treat adults and peers with respect and encourage this in others. They model positive behavior in thecommunity for others to learn. Students provide community service to others to give back to the community some of what they havereceived in their lives.

As a result of these efforts, our school’s student achievement data is as follows:

% of students who are 6th grade students mastering ISTEP essential skills: 100% % of students who are 7th grade students mastering ISTEP essential skills: 100% % of students who are 8th grade students mastering ISTEP essential skills: 100% % of students who are at or above grade level in reading: 100% % of students who are at or above grade level in math: 100%

Academic GoalsAfter analyzing longitudinal data that was disaggregated by the student groups identified in No Child Left Behind, teachers,students, parents, and community members identified achievement data targets for the next three years. These targets representacademic areas (subjects) which we wish to improve and specific groups of students we have targeted for improvement (e.g. 6thgraders). Our vision data represents our "dream" for all students. The data targets listed below each school year represent realisticsteps toward that dream.

Areas of ConcernTeachers, students, parents, and community members analyzed data in seven areas known to impact student achievement: 1)expectations, 2) curriculum content, 3) instructional practices, 4) classroom assessments, 5) extra help, 6) student guidance, and 7)the learning environment. We identified areas that we must address in order to reach our academic goals. Those areas are listedbelow as "Local Areas of Concern". Organizations outside of our school (e.g. the Indiana General Assembly) have identified areasof concern for all schools and have required schools to address those areas. These are listed below as "Required Areas ofConcern." Each Area of Concern listed below is followed by the condition in our school or community that led us to believe that thisis an Area of Concern.

During the 2008-2009 school year, staff, parents and community members will provide extended learning activities for studentsthrough after school tutoring and clubs. Staff, parents and community members will also provide extended learning activities forstudents through in-school tutoring and mentoring.

P. Teacher Mentoring Program: Principal Walkthroughs

Principals will conduct "walk throughs" with each teacher during which the principal will look for student orientation to work,curriculum decisions, delivery of instruction, read the walls, and health/safety issues throughout the school year, August-May.The principal will provide mentoring to teachers as needed.


We have a written parent involvement policy that was jointly written and revised with parents in April and will be distributed to allin August of each year.


The parent right to know letters include 2 separate letters. One is information about parent’s ability to request information aboutteacher qualifications. The other one is notice to parents that their child is not being taught by a highly qualified teacher.


The staff of School 91 jointly with parents has developed a School-Parent Compact that outlines how the entire school, staffand students will share the responsibility for improved student academic achievement and the means by which the school andparents will build and develop a partnership to help children master the Indiana Academic Standards.


At the start of each year, we hold a parent meeting to inform parents about the Title I program and review the ParentInvolvement Policy and School-Parent Compact.


Classroom teachers, Special Education and Title I staff will work with identified special education students to improve theirwriting scores using the 6+1 Traits for Writing instructional and assessment practices through the school year, August â May.


Teachers will attend inservice during professional development and common planning time on Curriculum Mapping so that ingrade level teams they can align the standards to Montessori Curriculum for each nine weeks.
