Change in Leader Practice IMO: All committees will submit artifacts, (sign-in, agendas, minutes) of the meeting to the designated Leadership Team members. Change in Teacher Practice IMO: Computer carts will be purchased for teachers to help students prepare for 2014 online testing.

Teachers in other disciplines will use released items as bell-ringers. Student Progress and Achievement: As of March 30, 2014, a Geometry camp to be implemented to assist students in preparation for the end of course Geometry exam for three consecutive Saturdays prior to the test. As of April 20, 2014, an Algebra I camp to be implemented to assist students in preparation for the end of course Algebra exam for three consecutive Saturdays prior to the test. By September 12, 2013, the Gradpoint program and Math School using the I Can Learn program and an enrichment program for Geometry created by Carnegie Learning will be in place to help students recover credit and for remediation of math

skills. By May 30, 2014, students below grade level in reading will display 1 1/2 years of growth either in Read180 or on the STAR Test. Eighty percent of students will be engaged each day and be able to explain the learning objectives. By October 30, 2013, 100% of LDC participating teachers will submit thematic units to the Instructional Committee. By April 1, 2014, 50% of a 10th grade thematic unit with the rigor of common core will be submitted to the Instructional Committee. Instructional Technology: An audio visual lab will be purchased with a designated facilitator to allow students the opportunity to produce mass media products and productions. This will help students to achieve and expand critical thinking and

analysis skills. Student Safety and Discipline: Continue with random scans for tardy students and three a day scans in random classes. The random scans as well as teacher enforcement of tardy policy will continue to reduce student tardiness. Campus security will monitor more hallways and classrooms so fewer students will be on the grounds in between classes. All security personnel will have scanners to monitor the entryways to all buildings. Parent and Community Engagement: Parents will be allowed to access Edline to check student's grades and academic performance without the assistance of administrators.

A Parenting Center is located in the Media Center, and has a current collection of parenting magazines, and assorted materials relating to student health, wellness, and

academic achievement. These materials also include information for parents about college , careers, motivating low achievers, fatherhood, and drug prevention. Funding will be set aside for parent opportunities to attend professional conferences and to purchase reading materials and hardware for the parent center.
