Title I

Schoolwide Program Plan

Ruben Hinojosa Elementary has created a schoolwide program that is comprehensive in nature to ensure that we are serving all students, improving allstructures that support student learning, and combining all resources, as allowed, to achieve our goals and maximize the impact of Title 1.

The six steps that our campus follows include:

Establishing and training our site-based planning team; 1.Clarifying the vision for school reform; 2.Creating our school's profile; 3.Identifying data sources and gathering the data;4.Analyzing the data;5.Reporting data findings to the entire site-based planning team and collecting reflections and feedback. 6.

Throughout the schoolwide planning process, administrators and teachers identify student strengths, needs and the interventions that are currently in place.They assess the effectiveness of those interventions and make recommendations for revisions as needed. The site-based planning process is used as acampus organizational strategy to guide program development, implementation, and evaluation. This systemic planning provides structure and a commonlanguage for school improvement. It also provides logical ways for school staff to think about current progress and the adjustments or changes that need tobe made on our campus to continually improve the effectiveness of our schoolwide program.

Ten Schoolwide Components

1: Comprehensive Needs Assessment

Ruben Hinojosa Elementary has conducted a comprehensive needs assessment that serves as the centerpiece of our planning process and the driving forcemost impacting the campus improvement plan. While data is gathered and analyzed throughout the year, a comprehensive effort is always made at the end ofeach school year. This year, administrators and teachers collected data and in collaboration with teacher leaders and others. Root causes were identified,written as needs and reported to the site-based planning team. The team was given time to reflect on the data and ask clarifying questions. When the teamfelt that all appropriate data had been disaggregated and analyzed, this step of the comprehensive needs assessment was finalized and written into the plan.

2: Schoolwide Reform Strategies

Our schoolwide reform strategies provide opportunities for all children to meet the state's proficient or advanced levels of student performance. Thesestrategies are based on effective means of improving achievement for all students. The following are activities we utilized in this plan:



Review program documentation to ensure that all instructional programs/instruction strategies are supported by scientifically-based research. Identify1.how each activity in our school strengthens the core academic program.Identify scientifically-based research programs that increase the amount and quality of learning time.2.Review the master schedule to identify opportunities for extended learning time.3.Investigate how manipulatives are used in the various core areas.4.Identify programs within our school that address enriched and accelerated curriculum issues.5.Disaggregate the data by student populations to determine our program's effectiveness in meeting the needs of all our students.6.

Writing Tip: These six activities serve as examples only. There are many effective strategies that can be used as schoolwide reform strategies. Also, there isno requirement stating how many reform strategies are needed.

3: Instruction by highly qualified professional teachers

Instruction by highly qualified professional teachers is an important component of our schoolwide plan. Procedures in use at Training Elementary to ensurethat instruction is provided by highly qualified teachers include:

Provide time off for high-quality professional development.1.Provide an effective mentoring system.2.Assign teachers for a "best-fit" of their strengths.3.Provide professional development for existing programs prior to new school year for new staff or those wanting refreshers.4.Monitor effectiveness of teachers by frequent walk-throughs.5.Provide time for teachers to observe master teachers in the classroom.6.Provide training and opportunities for collaboration in looking at formative and summative student achievement data.7.Implement strategies to provide clear lines of communication between teachers and administrators.8.

Writing Tip: Again, these serve as examples only. There are many effective strategies that can be used for highly qualified teacher’s strategies. Also, thereis no requirement stating how many strategies are needed.

4: High-quality and ongoing professional development for teachers, principals, and paraprofessionals and, if appropriate, student servicespersonnel, parents, and other staff

Ruben Hinojosa Elementary utilizes high-quality and ongoing professional development to ensure teachers are equipped to face the challenge of helpingstudents meet the state's academic achievement standards. Procedures include:

Select the professional development that meet the needs of all principals, teachers, paraprofessionals, parents, and others, as appropriate.1.Provide opportunities for all staff to obtain training in programs and initiatives that are already in place.2.Provide professional development opportunities for all personnel to meet the identified needs of all student populations to increase student3.performance.



Allow teachers to attend professional developments throughout the year on content areas specific to teacher's assignment.4.Provide blocks of time during and after school for collaborative meetings or planning time across grade levels and content areas.5.

5: Strategies to attract highly qualified teachers

The campus follows district procedures for recruiting and attracting highly qualified teachers. Please refer to the highly qualified teacher document locatedin the addendums for this plan.

6: Strategies to increase parental involvement

Our campus understands that parental involvement is a major key to students' success. Three years ago, we hired a Parent Coordinator and we are seeingsignificant improvement in parental involvement. One key action that is led by the Parent Coordinator is the implementation of a special parent advisoryteam. The composition of this parent team is quite varied and as we make plans for parental involvement, we bring our ideas to this parent team forfeedback. The parent team has been charged to think about how the ideas/activities/projects impact their busy home lives and then they provide theiropinions about successful implementation. This helps us make better decisions about how to increase parental involvement and obtain higher levels ofparent participation.

7: Plans for assisting preschool children in the transition from early childhood programs to elementary school programs

The campus recognizes and emphasizes the value of creating a coherent and seamless educational program for at-risk students. Our campus does notcurrently have an early childhood program; however, when new students enroll, we make sure that we identify any preschool siblings so that we can shareinformation about the early childhood programs in the district. It is important that the academic achievement of every preschool student is closelymonitored. Because the early childhood programs provide a foundation for later academic success, we work hard to be sure that our parents know whatoptions are available for them and for neighborhood children who might not have older siblings in school.

Although this component primarily addresses transitions to elementary from early childhood, Ruben Hinojosa Elementary spends time reviewing activities atall critical transition points to ensure the implementation of a coherent and seamless education program.

8: Measures to include teachers in the decisions regarding the use of academic assessments in order to improve the achievement of individualstudents and the overall instructional program

In addition to STAAR results, teachers receive current and ongoing assessment data that describe student achievement. The data often come from lessformal assessments, such as observation, performance assessments, or end-of-course tests. The campus provides teachers with professional development thatincreases their understanding of the appropriate uses of multiple assessment measures and how to use assessment results to improve instruction. Each gradelevel is included in the formative review process for our improvement plan. This allows teachers to consistently evaluate the effectiveness of our academicassessments and the overall instructional program.

9: Activities to ensure effective timely assistance for students who experience difficulty mastering the proficient or advanced levels of academicachievement standards



Each grade level identifies individual students who need additional learning time to meet standards. The teachers then provide those students with timely,additional assistance that is tailored to their needs. The assistance and support looks different at each grade level; however, it is always available to allstudents in the school who need it.

10: Coordination and integration of federal, state and local services and programs

Because we are a schoolwide Title 1 campus, we have flexibility to integrate services and programs with the aim of upgrading our entire educationalprogram and helping all students reach proficient and advanced levels of achievement. In addition, through our improvement planning and budgetingprocess, we are able to combine most Federal, State and local funds in order to maximize the impact of the resources available to carry out the schoolwideTitle 1 program for the purpose of increasing student achievement.
