(Lunenburg & Ornstein, 2012)VISIONTo create a highly effective professional learning community environment through the use of positive expectations, proven instructional practices, and collaboration among all stakeholders to ensure all students have an opportunity to learn.

4MISSIONIn partnership with parents and the community, is dedicated to developing the academic and social excellence of all students.

5GOALContinue to develop, implement and monitor a quality educational program including curriculum, instruction, assessment and professional development which considers the specific needs of each student and the community, supports high academic standardsand addresses Texas state requirements.

6School Improvement PlanNCLB requires states to identify for school improvement those Title I schools that fail for two consecutive years to make adequate yearly progress as the state defines it. (Brady, 2003)7Demographics8Data Review: ProblemThe chart to the left reflects the mastery levels for each grade level on the state assessments for Math and Reading for the 2012-2013 school year.Reading AssessmentMath AssessmentGrade 350%46%Grade 452%48%Grade 547%59%Grade 654%49%9Action PlanRoot CausesStategiesEvidence of ImplementationPersons Respons-ibleTime-lineALIGNMENT: Monitor effectiveness of instructional strategies, curriculum alignment intensively and consistently prior to the administration of the state assessment.

The teacher will utilize the new curriculum provided from HISD to create lessons. Participate in training for lead teachers and content mangers on implement of instruction for all students. Scores on the bi-weekly or tri-weekly common assessments will improve, including the district-created curriculum benchmarks. Ultimately the test scores will improve.The evidence will also include classroom observations.Principal and Assistant Principal August 2013-May 2018ACHIEVEMENT GAP: There is an achievement gap between all students and special needs studentsThe students progress must be much more consistently and intensively monitored (e.g. through monitoring bi-weekly or tri-weekly assessment results.)Teacher should implement interventions, accomodations and modifications as per students IEPs. More professional development in best practices for this group and continue to monitor for best practices in walk-throughs. These students progress must be much more consistently and intensively monitored (e.g. through monitoring bi-weekly or tri-weekly assessment results.)Principal, Assistant Principal, and Special Education Department ChairAugust 2013-May 201810Action PlanRoot CausesStrategiesEvidence of ImplementationPersons responsibleTimelineDATA: Tracking/consistent system of accountabilityWe will have two teacher assigned as the data tracker and analysis specialist. They will be charged with assisting teachers in best practices in data analysis. Scores on the bi-weekly or tri-weekly common assessments will improve, including the district-created curriculum benchmarks. Ultimately, the test scores will improve. Principal and Assistant Principal August 2013-May 2018TUTORING: Some students did not master content in the classroom. We will have 16 teachers to provide tutoring in the after school tutoring program. Scores on common assessments and state assessments. Principal and Assistant Principal August 2013-May 2018Rigor (IIM): There is a need to increase the level of rigor in the Reading and Math classes. Help the students make the connections between the assignment given and its connection to real life events so that it may be relevant to the students lives.
