An Effective Organizational Design
Criteria:
Exemplary Accomplished Needs Improvement Assessment Tool
Improves Administration &
Operations
The design promotes efficiency; decision making, problem solving and assignment completion involve the fewest positions, and the least coordination of departments The design facilitates communication by making it clear for each situation who needs to be involved in making decisions, solving problems, and completing work The design of the organization clarifies responsibilities and makes it easier to hold elements of the system accountable
In general, the organizational design promotes efficiency, but there are some redundancies, where people/ offices are unnecessarily involved in decision making, problem solving or completing work assignments The design tends to facilitate communication; however, where the official design does not reflect reality, communication is actually impeded or delayed Overall, the organizational design facilitates accountability, though where the official design is inaccurate, accountability is not aided
The organization is designed more for control than for efficiency; a few key positions/offices are involved in most of the work and/or decisions, creating a bottleneck that limits productivity The design of the organization does not affect communication because all communication has to flow through the few critical positions or offices that control decision making The design does not promote accountability, because of the differences between the official design and reality
1. Staff and community surveys reflect high satisfaction with district operations.
2. Per pupil costs as detailed in SED comparison reports indicated rates at or below the median.

Criteria:
Exemplary Accomplished Needs Improvement Assessment Tools
Has Clear Lines of Authority and
Responsibility
The structure of the organization is easily understood and clearly details the lines of authority from the board, through the superintendent, to all departments and staff positions; it clearly defines the responsibilities of each department and employee
The organizational structure is clearly defined and mostly accurate and useful, but there are a few aspects of district operations where the formally defined structure deviates from the informal, real-world authority and responsibility
There is a clearly defined, easily understood structure for the organization, however, it is significantly different from the real structures of authority and responsibility that determine priorities, make decisions, etc.
Staff survey indicates that staff are able to not only identify but easily access appropriate staff.
Well-Communicated
The organizational structure of the district, and the rationale underlying the design, are shared with employees, parents, and community members in a variety ways on an ongoing basis
There is a formal definition and explanation of the organizational structure of the district, and it is accessible to all and its availability is communicated
Neither the district organizational structure, nor an explanation of it, are believed to be of importance by district staff, so it is not well-presented and not widely shared in the community
Staff survey indicates that staff members are able to not only identify but easily access appropriate staff.

The board and district staff review organizational effectiveness informally and consider modifying it, but the system resists change
The board and district staff occasionally discuss changing the design of the organization, but usually to serve special interests
Survey data from community, service groups, and staff indicate high satisfaction with organizational format and effectiveness.
Evidenced by
Satisfied Clients
Parents are pleased with the education their children are receiving, and are very satisfied with district programs and activities.
Most parents are pleased with their children’s education, and with district programs and activities; a few parents are concerned about their own children’s progress related to the district’s ability to meet the child’s needs.
Many parents are pleased with their children’s education, but a number are dissatisfied with district programs and activities; some praise the district, but there are many concerns expressed.
Reflects
Community Pride
The district is a source of pride for parents and for the community, which they demonstrate by volunteering to help in district activities, donating to the district, attending/participating in district events, and by voting to support the district.
Parents and the community are generally pleased and supportive of the district and the schools; some programs have active, vocal supporters.
There are a few district programs, particularly athletics and the performing arts, that have strong support among parents and the community, but the district and its instructional program are not a source of pride and are not well supported.
1. Community groups, such as the Chamber of Commerce, or WABO or GATES, routinely endorse the budget proposed.
2. Yearly budgets, which reflect program initiatives are routinely suggested and passed.
3. Community groups frequently seek participation of student groups at community activities.

Criteria Exemplary Accomplished Needs Improvement Assessment Tools
Striving for Excellence
District staff display great pride in the organization, and they maintain an attitude of continuous improvement: rather than being satisfied, staff are always seeking ways to improve instructional programs, operations, and services to students and the community. It is understood and agreed to by all that the way that excellence is defined must be primarily based on district effectiveness in promoting students’ learning, growth, and development.
District staff take pride in the organization, and they display a desire to maintain or even improve the quality of district programs, operations and service to students/community; however, anxiety about change and/or loss of community support inhibits action. Everyone agrees that excellence in student learning is the focus of the district, and it is given the highest priority in decision making, but other priorities/values can dilute decisions or delay progress.
District staff are proud that the current status of district programs, operations and services are quite adequate; the district and staff participate in required improvement planning and professional development activities, but with no sense of need or urgency. There is considerable discussion of excellence in student learning, but because of an underlying belief that current results areas good as can be achieved, other considerations determine most decisions.
Staying Informed
In order to inform planning and decision making to achieve excellence, the district is vigilant and systematic in pursuing useful information, in the areas of state regulations and guidelines, developments in curriculum/instruction, financial and business trends and opportunities, and customer satisfaction.
In order to inform planning and decision making to improve the quality of schooling, the district regularly pursues/ discovers, evaluates and considers new information relevant to all areas of operations; there is a tendency to rely on traditional forms of information and methods of finding it, and the effort could be given higher priority.
As part of improvement planning and decision making processes, the district engages in information gathering in all areas of operation; but the effort is minimal, or poorly conducted, and there is a tendency to seek out information that supports preferred choices, so useful information is missed.
1. Student Performance Data
indicates achievement at or above similar schools.
2. Student performance data indicates continuous improvement in year-to-year comparisons.
3. Curriculum audits by PPC reviews compliance with local, state and federal standards. Recommendations for revision are implemented.
4. A review of reports to the Board of Education as well as the budget process indicate data is routinely used to make critical decisions.

Open to Suggestions and
Criticism
In order to be responsive to changing needs or desires of the community, the district maintains a number of ways and encourages students, parents and community members to share concerns and ideas. In order to improve operations, the district is open to and encourages staff to share concerns or suggestions for improving the workings of the district.
District staff desire to be responsive to clients and the community, and they have established ways for students, parents and community members to have input into planning and decision making. The district solicits input from staff, and regularly surveys staff to inform planning and decision making, but some staff members are uneasy about criticizing.
The district maintains official channels for providing input into planning and decision making, but it isn’t encouraged nor highly regarded by the board and staff members. The district has official channels for staff members to express concerns or make suggestions, but staff generally do not take advantage of the opportunity.
Data-Driven
Decisions are based on in-depth and comprehensive analysis of data/information related to student achievement and school climate, as well as employee and client satisfaction.
Decisions are based on the analysis of relevant data/information on school and district effectiveness, but it sometimes seems to take a great deal of evidence to change the status quo.
Decisions are rarely based on significant analysis of data or information, seeming instead to be based on a combination of the status quo, personal opinions/perspectives, and the influence of different interests.

District staff understands that the foundation of a supportive community relationship and collaboration is mutual respect and an ability and expectation to work together as partners.

The district seeks input/feedback from all school families and the community: through advisory committees, questionnaires, phone calls, and collecting feedback from visitors District staff involves parents/community members in planning, decision making, and evaluation to benefit from their community knowledge and to gain their support. There are almost always sufficient numbers of parent/community member volunteers to meet school/district needs, usually from a core of dedicated and valued supporters.
The district has formal processes for parents or community members to provide input into planning/decision making or to provide feedback about district operations/programs Parents/community members are included in planning, decision making, and/or evaluation activities to the extent required by statute or school board directive. There are many parents/community members who volunteer their time and help for school activities/efforts, but more are needed and it is sometimes difficult to meet school needs.

Use of Technology
Teachers regularly use a number of different instructional strategies, based on different approaches or modes, to accommodate as many learning styles as possible. To the greatest extent possible, teachers provide learning options of a variety of types from which students select those that match their interests and the ways they learn best. Instruction provides students with opportunities to use computers and technology to learn, gather information/ideas and create performances and or products, mirroring the use of these tools by Accomplished adults.
Teachers use a set of varied instructional approaches that meets the needs of most students. Teachers often provide students with the option of choosing among alternative learning activities, but there are also a few times when students must adapt to those learning activities determined by the teacher. Instruction often makes use of computers and technology in classes other than those with a technology focus, and often in realistic ways and for authentic purposes, but also many times as an adjunct to traditional instruction.
Teachers tend to use the same basic instructional approaches for all students. Teachers generally develop a common set of learning activities and assignments for all students independent of learning and performance styles/preferences. Computers and other technology are used primarily in technology classes, or when students choose to use them on their own time; teachers rarely build the use of technology into their course requirements.

Valid & Reliable
Assessments are directly/explicitly linked to curriculum standards and the assessment system gathers evidence related to each important learning goal. Classroom/school assessment systems ensure accuracy/reliability by gathering multiple and varied assessment data, anchored by tasks that require students to use their learning and to display their understanding, thinking, and decision making. Validity of assessment is enhanced by the use of authentic tasks requiring students to use their learning in ways analogous to those of Accomplished adults.
Assessments are linked to curriculum standards; students are assessed on learning related to most standards, but not always on those requiring evidence that is complex or difficult to obtain. Classroom/school assessment systems gather a balance of assessment data of varying types, including those requiring learning products or performances; the district could make more use of performance assessment across the curriculum. The school/district is beginning to consider and explore the link between the validity of assessment and the need to see if students can apply their learning in real world situations and problems.
Assessment is based on district curriculum standards, but because most assessments are tests, those standards requiring complex or difficult evidence of learning are not assessed. Classroom/school assessment systems are not well balanced; they are dominated by traditional test methods; use of performance assessment is sporadic and not fully integrated into the system leaving some learning goals not assessed. There is little concern with the validity of assessment beyond the traditional logic of testing except in those curriculum areas that are naturally focused on performance (e.g., the arts, vocational, etc.).

Long-term facilities/equipment costs are minimized through a specified maintenance and replacement program that maximizes usage and function.
District operations are managed with a balance of concern: staff is cost-conscious, but they are also concerned with ease of operations. Occasionally, the staff looks at new ways to save or stretch funds.

Spencer-Van Etten Board of Education,
It is with great pleasure that I recommend Enock Francois for hire as a special education teacher for the S-VE Middle School. Enock comes with the highest recommendations from the West Point Director of Operations who states that this candidate’s character and dedication to education is impeccable. He has a Masters Degree in special education from the University of the Cumberlands, graduating with a 3.83 along with a Bachelor of Arts in psychology with a concentration in social work. Enock’s philosophy of education mirrors the qualities and attributes which align with our District’s mission and belief statements. Enock comes to us from his position as the assistant wrestling coach at the United States Military Academy. His experiences both in and outside of the classroom will be an asset to the middle school. We believe Enock has the character and drive to be an outstanding special educator in our district.
Sincerely,
Eric Knolles

To: Dr. Joseph Morgan, Superintendent From: Melissa Jewell, High School Principal Re: Recommendation for Justin Cole – Secondary Mathematics Teacher Date: August 14, 2014 It is with great pleasure that I recommend Mr. Justin Cole to fill the secondary mathematics teaching position vacant due to the movement of Mrs. Pamela Brock. Justin graduated from Elmira College in 2010 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Adolescence Education: Mathematics and in 2012 he graduated from Cortland State with a Master’s degree also in Mathematics. He holds a provisional certification in the area of 7-12 Mathematics. Justin is an alumni of Newark Valley and is very familiar with our area and small rural school districts. He did a long term substitute position in Algebra II/ Trigonometry two years ago in Newark Valley and had the child of one of our math educators. She has only great things to say about him as her son’s teacher. This is the level of mathematics he will be teaching for S-VE and I am confident he will be able to handle this level with ease. He is currently teaching for Waverly and after consulting with several of his references, it is evident that Justin has a tremendous amount to offer to our district. We are confident that Mr. Justin Cole will be a valuable asset to our SVE team.
