Table of Contents

Priority 1: Mathematics Core Curriculum Goal: To improve the teaching of mathematical content (number sense, properties, operations, measurement, geometry, spatial sense, data analysis, and algebra functions). To increase mathematical abilities (conceptual understanding, procedural knowledge and problem solving). To improve mathematical reasoning, connections and communication. To decrease the number of low-level math classes and increase the number of students enrolled in math classes above the geometry level. To increase the percent of African-American Male and Female students who score proficient.Priority 2: Literacy Core Curriculum

Goal: To improve students' written responses on open-ended questions. To use reading and writing strategies in all core and non-core classes. To improve the use of contexts for reading, i.e., reading for literacy experience, reading for information and reading to perform a task. To improve "process" writing. To increase the percent of African-American Male and Female students who score proficient.Priority 3: Wellness Goal: To promote activities in nutrition and physical activity designed to improve student wellness. To promote student health literacy through improved health education instruction. To promote a healthy school environment for students through faculty and staff wellness and through parent involvement.Priority 4: Scholastic Audit Goal: To further the development of an effective learning community and support a climate conducive to performance excellence.Priority 5: Parental Engagement/Involvement Goal: To increase the involvement of parents in all facets of the education and development of their children throughout high school; recognizing that parents have substantial influence in their children's lives. Parent involvement is multi-faceted and includes responsibilities in decisions that help to ensure students' academic success, health, and social/emotional growth.

Priority 1: To implement with fidelity the Mathematics Core Curriculum.

Supporting Data:

1. The leadership team at Central High school has reviewed at least three years of data (2008-2011) from multiple data sources (State End of Course Assessments in Algebra and Geometry, District SOAR assessments in Algebra and Geometry, District Explore Test Data in Reading, Science, Math and English, District Plan Test Data in Reading, Math, Science and English, ACT Data in Reading, Math, Science and English, as well as, Graduation rates and other perceptual data from the Campus Leadership Team and community stakeholders. Our examination of the data suggests that professional development activities (Differentiation of Instruction, Response to Intervention, Comprehensive Data Analysis) along with our Tier II interventions (In-time use of TLI data, Before/After and Lunch Tutoring) have been effective in increasing student performance in our combined population. The academic areas of concern for our combined population include socio-economically disadvantaged and African Americans. The lowest areas of performance for these groups in geometry were Triangles, open response, and measurement. In Algebra, the lowest areas were language of algebra, open response, and data interpretation and probability. Based on our analysis of the data we need to continue to refine and focus our data analysis and continue to refine our Tier II interventions based on the data. We will emphasis in-time remediation efforts based on our SOAR test data, along with continuing our before/after and during lunch tutoring sessions and Super Saturday sessions.

Goal

To improve the teaching of mathematical content (number sense, properties, operations, measurement, geometry, spatial sense, data analysis, and algebra functions). To increase mathematical abilities (conceptual understanding, procedural knowledge and problem solving). To improve mathematical reasoning, connections and communication. To decrease the number of low-level math classes and increase the number of students enrolled in math classes above the geometry level.

Benchmark To meet or exceed the State Average Yearly Progress (AYP) in Mathematics (Algebra/Geometry) for combined school population, as well as, all identified sub groups.

1.1 Intervention: (Tier I - High School Mathematics Core Curriculum): Every student at Central High School will have access to and be actively engaged in a rigorous and relevant standards-based Mathematics Core Curriculum based on the Arkansas Department of Education Mathematics Curriculum Frameworks that is appropriately paced and regularly assessed. Students will have specific, designated learning targets; teachers will provide grade level instruction built on research "best" instructional "practices". When students fail to reach their designated achievement targets, the instructional staff at Central High School will support those students with supplemental, tiered instructional interventions. Program Evaluation: The efficacy of the Core Mathematics program will be determined by 83% of students having an adjusted composite score of 70% or greater on the quarterly SOAR assessment. This is the first year to use TLI forecasts as a program

Priority 3: To improve wellness and encourage healthy habits with students, staff, and parents of Central High School. Identify strategies and prioritize critical health related issues. Establish relationships with stakeholders and key decision-makers.

Supporting Data:

1. The leadership team at Central High School has reviewed the last three years of data from the following sources (School BMI indexes, School Health Data, Economic indicators by Free/Reduced Lunches and School Health Index Modules). Based on the trends identified from School Health Index Data from our primary stakeholders, we noted both strengths and weaknesses in our building. Our examination of the data suggests that our emphasis on maintaining a healthy lifestyle has been instrumental in improving the overall health of our students and faculty. Areas of concern continue to be the percentage of students who are over-weight and/or obese according to the BMI indexes. Our improvement plan will continue to emphasize a healthy lifestyle and activities.

2.

GoalTo promote activities in nutrition and physical activity designed to improve student wellness. To promote student health literacy through improved health education instruction. To promote a healthy school environment for students through faculty and staff wellness and through parent involvement.

Benchmark To reduce the overweight/obese category of the BMI. To increase the percentage of students and faculty that lead a healthy lifestyle.
