Comprehensive Needs Assessment Process Summary District administrators assessed data from the previous year and examined goals and performance objectives for the 2016-2017 school year based on these findings. Each were assessed and data was analyzed for strengths and weaknesses. The outcome was a list of district goals created to meet conclusions and new objectives were written, followed by appropriate strategies, timelines, benchmark assessments, resources, etc. for each goal and performance objective.
Summary of Prior Year’s Program Evaluation Goal 1: Students will meet or exceed the high state and federal standards. Goal 1 was not totally met, but improvements continue to be made each year. This goal continues to be high priority for the district. Electra ISD will strive to meet the targeted STAAR standards and to perform above state average. EISD will target specific sub-populations that aren’t improving such as Economically Disadvantaged. Renaissance STAR Reading and Math assessments will be utilized on the elementary campus to target foundation skill gaps in early grades and drive reading and math instruction to decrease the number of students falling below grade level standards. DMAC benchmarking and formative assessments will be utilized to track specific skills deficiencies in students on all campuses. Write from the Beginning and Beyond training and implementation will be utilized to vertically align writing across the elementary that will carry over to the Junior/Senior High campus. Goal 2: EISD will actively engage parents and the community in the educational process. Goal 2 was emphasized and greatly improved last year. We will continue to implement strategies for increased parent participation to be included in each campus plan to utilize opportunities for parent meetings, conferences on student achievement, and activities where parents can be involved with their students and teachers. Goal 3: EISD will ensure that technology is incorporated into all aspects of the educational process. Goal 3 was met. A new Wifi system and better accessibility was implemented at both campuses. Staff will utilize technology to communicate with parents when applicable and incorporate the use of technology in student lessons. Technology staff will continue to provide training throughout the school year. Goal 4: EISD students will be educated in a safe and engaging classroom environment relevant to learning in a climate of mutual respect. Electra ISD will continue to update programs and procedures to address safety and respectful climate for all students. Emergency plans, character education traits, bullying advocacy, and Crime Stoppers will be utilized. Goal 5: EISD students will be taught by State Certified teachers who are assisted by highly qualified paraprofessionals. Electra’s teachers are 100% State Certified for the 2016-2017 school year. Recruitment and maintaining highly qualified teachers and paraprofessionals will be an ongoing process. Staff will be mentored and assisted in the certification process if additional certification is required.
