Curriculum and Instruction  Differentiated materials for kids with IEPs District wide collaboration school-wide core reading program with accountability Pull out schedules for Special Ed. And band Interventions other than reading data driven decisions… reading Support for struggling Students across the curriculum Differentiated instruction not in place at all levels ELD/SIOP training Ability grouping needed Screening and progress monitoring Collecting data more frequently on Ss skills RTI targeting specific skills in which Ss are behind Kindergarteners are reading Fidelity in core reading in kindergarten Power standards for writing and social studies Better curriculum alignment District-wide scope and sequence reduction/elimination of pull outs making reading top priority reading grouping aids effective instruction ability grouping for reading and spelling research-based RTI materials grant money for RTI training some materials ongoing support

Behavior PBS programs at elementary PBS active at elementary Discipline procedures improved Honor roll(5th -7th ) as motivator PBIS many components in place Too many playground rules We need in school suspension- need a solution i.e. pass room Better discipline program and implementation Student engagement Student respect Behavior challenged students

  Enrichment  Outdoor learning experiences (outdoor school 6th) TAG improvements Rtec more time Focus on natural resources district wide Elective offerings at elementary (drama, technology) We understand the needs of the students we teach More access to elective classes Electives and enrichment ALT ed options have increased (Nova Net , Indy classes) Community connections/ involvement ( project fair, literacy night, science

night, social studied night) Extra curricular activity involvement is higher (HQ team, music, math,

sports) Continuum of appropriate placement for high needs students

Teacher Empowerment  Not enough guidance for new teachers initiate conversations/thinking /projecting for /about future goals/outcomes

desired for Lowell Need more training ( teachers and assistants) Lack of accountability Collaboration among teachers/schools Need release time for PU/collaboration good data driven teaching strategies Staff retention incentives brighter happier staff room Teachers are invested in the improvement process better time management Enthusiastic hard working staff PD collaborate w/ ESDto provide curriculum and professional development Connection to the future

Student led conferences at HS lots of Ss buy in and Ss parent participation Senior presentations all grade levels observing (Lowell Learning Experience) Focusing on career awareness in 10th to 12th grades Focus on something other than schoolwork The LLE gave more validity to senior projects Lowell Learning Exp. Forces students to Student led conferences – attendance at an all time high (over 80%) Standards too low for LLE

Technology Increase in technology (thanks Jason) Technology has improved (VTEC, computer labs, SMART Board) Increasing students’ use of technology

Growth and Development Increasing school population there has been building and grounds improvements planning for a new facility improved library access breakfast and lunch programs revamp breakfast/ lunch program (less sugar, more nutrition) Communication Welcome parents in school Parental education involvement Parent notification Lack of volunteers Mentoring for new employees Better communication with others TS Community involvement toward new/better facilities Automated phone system is great More home/school connections Staff involvement outside the classroom Lack f trained volunteers No “student body rep” or teacher at SB meetings Communication with school board Attendance
