DataUse data identified from many different sources as the basis for understanding the schooland identifying priority areas for improvement.

Guiding Questions: Review school data and consider a variety of perspectives includingoverall school/student performance, sub-group performance, attendance, teachersatisfaction, instructional practice (from walk-throughs/observations), and student learning(also from walk-throughs/observations as well as data).

1. What does the analysis tell you about your schools strengths?

The strengths of Parker Middle School are rooted in a stable, well-educated and performance oriented staff. Thededication of the school staff can be seen in the continuous improvement in the percent of students proficient in reading,math, and science for most students. The school made expected growth for the 2011-2012 school year.

2. What does the analysis tell you about your schools gaps or opportunities forimprovement?

The percent of proficient students at Parker Middle School falls short of the AYP target goals. For this 90% minoritymiddle school, the opportunities to close this gap are present. Three target areas of focus are: Math and Reading BlackStudents and Exceptional Education Students. Additional analysis of the available data showed that approximately 1/3 ofParker Middle School students have been retained one or more times. Previous retentions have a negative impact onmany of the students.

3. What data is missing, and how will you go about collecting this information forfuture use?

Parker Middle School is missing data on the level of parental involvement and engagement. There have beenmany outreach efforts in the last year with no clear process or pathway that parents can use to give feedback. It would beimportant and useful to know the level of contentment and areas of growth the parents feel about the services, faculty and

instructional program at JW Parker Middle School.Parker has committed to holding focus groups to gather feedback on how pleased parents are with their students

experiences. In addition, Parker has committed to beginning a Parent Teacher Association and a Boosters Club with thegoal of increasing parental involvement and investiture. Parker will also be creating a survey so that parent feedback canbe used to inform school improvement. There will also be several Community Coffees and Backyard Barbeques to targetparents that have traditionally felt that their voice has not been valued. Once this data has been gathered, it will be usedto create a Parent Academy which is a vehicle to address parent concerns and increase those skills and behaviors thatsupport school improvement.

4. Based upon the analysis conducted, what 3-5 top priorities emerge for theschool? Cite relevant evidence from your analysis to support these priorities.

Increase demonstrated student achievement in the areas of reading, math, and science, thereby increasingthe end-of-year promotion rate.Data shows that 35.4% of Parkers students were not proficient in reading, math, and science for the 2011-12 schoolyear.

Increase the level of parental involvement and community engagement.Dr. Jackson has set this as a district wide goal. Although we do not have formal quantitative or qualitative data at thispoint, Parker is committed to ensuring increase parental and community involvement.

Increase the level of student engagement and motivation to learn.Preliminary observation data from 2012-2013 reflects a lack of student engagement. Areas of concern includeinstructional strategies that are proven and research based in targeting students motivation to learn. Particularattention should be paid to increasing the level of rigor and relevance based on academic achievement.

Action Steps: Professional Development

Briefly describe the content and research base for your targeted professional development:

PD Focus: Literacy, Rigor (Challenge)/Engagement, Technology

Research Base:Literacy is the foundation for proficiency in all content areas and it is the common thread that runs throughout theCommon Core and Essential Standards. A significant body of research exists that support a focus on reading,comprehension, and critical thinking skills. Fostering 21st century professionals through the development of ProfessionalLearning Communities and on-going professional development will produce greater student outcomes and move JWParkers students toward greater success.

Professional development at JW Parker Middle this year will focus on creating learning environments that are taught bycaring, creative, engaging professionals who are knowledgeable of 21st Century technology, who employ 21st Centuryteaching methods, and who are dedicated to the students continuous improvement in every subject area. Professionaldevelopment in the form of a book study ofTeach like a Champion by Doug Lemov will offereffective teachingtechniques to help the teachers become champions in the classroom and make student engagement andparticipation the expectation. Professional development in technology will include training on the instructional use ofiPads and in an enhanced use of EVAAS. Padeia Training along with professional development on Quad D Lessonplanning and implementation will encourage active thinking through dialogue which will enable students to effectivelyaccess (read) grade-level content based materials.

Establish a calendar, including dates for training, implementation, and evaluation (formative and summative):Formative evaluation: describe process for periodic evaluations and how additional on-going assistance will beprovided for educators who are experiencing difficulties in implementing the initiative.

Formative evaluation will be on-going through examining artifacts such as lesson plans, teacher-madeteaching aids such as PowerPoints and ActivInspire flipcharts, PLC minutes, Professional DevelopmentAgendas, follow ups and reflections, administrative and peer walk-abouts, .
