I have been your Superintendent since July 1. I am a native of Sedalia, Missouri, graduate of Smith-Cotton High School, and grew up in with extended family in the Sedalia, Warrensburg, and Laurie, Missouri areas. I received a Doctorate in School Administration from the University of Missouri-Columbia and undergraduate and graduate degrees from Central Missouri State University (now known as the University of Central Missouri). Our family is excited to be in Fulton. My wife, Karen, and I sincerely appreciate the warm welcome to the community and school district. Karen is a Speech & Language Pathologist at Boone County R-IV Schools in Hallsville. Our daughter, Sara, and her husband, Jason, are both recent law school graduates living in St. Louis. Our son, Allen, is a sophomore at the United States Naval Academy. Education is my family business tracing back to the initial faculty of State Normal School #2 (now known as the University of Central Missouri). I am committed to public education and strongly believe every child can succeed. Since the beginning of the school year, I have had the opportunity to visit many classrooms in our school district. In my view, good solid education is happening in every building; and our teachers have the skills to help every child. We believe every child can be successful and we are working hard to help each child succeed. Parents and community support are essential for student success! We encourage parents to visit their child’s classroom and participate in their child’s education. No children in school? Community members are always welcome to visit. Just contact me, and I will be glad to make the arrangements. I value your input and opinions. Please feel free to peruse our redesigned web site and use the features available as an avenue for questions, comments or suggestions you may have. I will respond in a timely fashion. I am excited and proud that you have invited me to be part of the Fulton Educational Team. I am confident that your Fulton educators will be successful in continuing the strong academic history of the Fulton Public Schools.

My very best regards,

Jacque A. Cowherd, Ed.D.Superintendent of Schools

Annual Performance Report (APR)--Here’s how it works.Points earned by school districts are released on what is called the Annual Performance Report (APR). There are 14 areas where points are earned. In several categories, there are opportunities to earn a higher point value for reaching the goal at a high level. There are 6 areas to get points for MAP Performance and Improvement; Elementary, Middle and High School (each in 2 areas; Communica-tion Arts and Math).

Fulton met in all MAP areas! MAP performance is scored by looking at progress (improvement) and status (level of achievement). Bonus points are given for achievement on the Science MAP. Our students earned this bonus point.

Points are earned for how well students score on the ACT.Got them! Our seniors typically score at a high level.

Advanced Courses, Career Education Courses, College Placement and Career Education Placement are all given points on the scale.

We meet all four!Attendance is important district wide. Points are earned for the percentage rate.

No problem, we got those, too!The Federal No Child Left Behind law requires school districts to catagorize into subgroups in areas of ethnicity, IEP, LEP and free/reduced lunch.

Our school district met in the area of Subgroup Achievement and earned this point.

Including the bonus point, the Fulton School District earned 14 out of 14, giving us what we need to be fully accredited and earn Distinction in Performance.We’re good, really good, but not perfect.If you’ve been counting, 13 of the 14 areas to achieve and earn performance points have been mentioned.

There is one area on the report where we received no points.Graduation Rate—The graduation rate is figured by a formula as follows: (graduates/(9-12 Cohort Dropouts + Graduates)) x 100. We’ve got work to do in this area.

Bottom line??? AWESOME! Distinction in Performance has been in existence for nine years. For many districts it is difficult to attain this level of achievement, let alone earn it consistently. The Fulton School District has achieved this honor seven out of the nine years.

This positive recognition is the result of hard work from both our students and staff. Much is expected, and it is quite apparent that much has been delivered. Our students would not be achieving at this level without the hard work and support from their families and of all members of our community.

District Repeats High Performance

Each fall, public school districts in our state are evaluated by the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education according to points earned in multiple areas, all directly tied to how their students performed the previous year. This evaluation is called the Annual Performance Report. School districts earning enough points are awarded the highest honor given—Distinction in Performance.

The Fulton Public Schools FoundationThis is a non-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization whose purpose is to accept non public funding to assist with specific school district programs and projects. While their sole purpose is to support the Fulton Public Schools, they are a separate organization with their own governing board.

For the 2009-10 school year, the Foundation has awarded a total of $8000 in grant funding to support 10 class-rooms and programs in the Fulton School District.

s “Second Verse, Same as the First?” Everything old is new again. Although the Title IID-eMINTS grant seems like old news, that is not the case for some new teachers at the Fulton Elementary schools. With new teachers in the district, and additional grant funds, seven teachers have begun training in the eMINTS philosophy. The eMINTS philosophy is based on providing teachers with on-going instruction and support on the integration of technology. Three of the new teachers have been placed in eMINTS4All classrooms, which means they have a classroom lab for their students. Two teachers have been placed in eMINTS Comprehensive classrooms, which means the teacher will have a computer for every two students in their class. The final two teachers are part of a Special Education grant in the use of the eMINTS philosophy. This new grant will also be testing the use of the Read&Write Gold software. Read&Write GOLD is an award-winning literacy software solution that allows struggling students to access any curriculum and complete reading, writing, and research assignments as well as take tests independently. In all, these grants will combine for over $133,541 to the school district this school year. These activities are in addition to the first year phase of the grant that was received in 2008-09. That phase brought $379,000 to the district. This year’s phase of the grant has added many new activities that have impacted a much larger group of instructors. Thirty-six Kindergarten, First grade, Music, Art, PE, Special Education teachers and Media Specialists from all of the elementary schools participated in an eMINTS Boot Camp. This 3-day intensive training was designed to help these teachers become more aware of the eMINTS philosophy so they might be able to support the systemic implementation in a more productive way. In addition to learning the eMINTS instructional philosophy, these teachers received hands on training using Smartboards and Webpage design. Holly Broadway, first year music teacher at McIntire said, “Coming into a district with so much access to technology has been very exciting for me. Boot camp really taught me how I can utilize these technologies in my classroom and out of my classroom in order to really broaden my students’ music education.” Matt Whitehead, a first year Special Education teacher at Bush had this to say, “It was nice learning about different technology concepts and how to incorporate the Smartboard into my classroom. Collaborating with other teachers was a positive experience because it gave me the opportunity to see how other teachers are incorporating technology within their lessons.” The commitment our district has put on technology integration is a real selling point not only to potential residents, but also to prospective staff. The teachers in the eMINTS program receive two years of on-going training. Joe Davis, teacher at McIntire, commented, “…as a first year teacher having the eMINTS opportunity, with all of the professional development supplied by the district, has provided me some invaluable resources. I appreciate the effort that goes into providing teachers with this quality material.” In addition to the training, mentor coaching is meant to be a big part of the eMINTS program. Craig Snethen and Heidi Ebersole, who provide the eMINTS training, also serve as instructional mentors. For some teachers this becomes a huge benefit. “I have enjoyed having the technology staff come out to co-teach new programs to my students,” says first year McInitire teacher, Jessica Dennison. This mentoring provides the opportunity to help see that the philosophies that are being shared in the training become a reality in the classroom. A final component of this year’s phase is the opportunity to provide some refresher training with those individuals that have been through the training in the past. We call these teachers our eMINTS Veterans. Opportunities for these veterans have been written into the grant so they might be able to freshen up their skills and collaborate to invigorate their training with shared ideas and some new training materials. The eMINTS model may not be new to our district, but for some 40 plus teachers it has introduced some new ideas and methods to enrich their classrooms. At the end of this school year, the Title IID-eMINTS grant funding will come to an end, but the training and impact will continue for a long time to come.

Early Release Days Promote Student Progress

Each Wednesday in September, October, November, January and February, schools release at 1:00 p.m. Although the students are finished for the day, teachers are remaining for intense classroom learning time of their own. Early release Professional Development time has given teachers a chance to meet with other teachers and professionals to improve their teaching styles, and exchange other tips and information to increase student achievement. Teachers focus on the four critical questions of student learning to help guide them in the right direction. They are:

What is it we expect students to learn?How will we know when they have learned it?How will we respond when they don’t learn it?How will we respond when they already know it?

These guiding questions have kept Professional Development focused and helped the district move forward on improving student achievement. During the first semester, teachers at the elementary level have focused on student learning targets by grade level. This will help students better understand what they need to learn as well as help teachers focus on the new Grade Level Expectations (GLE’s) and how those tie to the district’s curriculum or whether the curriculum may need to be revised. Elementary schools have also focused on such topics as curriculum mapping, cooperative learning, literacy stations, and reading support. At the middle school level, teachers have worked as departments and as focus teams to address such areas as Response to Intervention (RtI), Positive Behavior Support (PBS), and Classroom Assessment for Student Learning (CASL), just to mention a few. The high school teachers have been working in focus teams and in grade level or department level teams. Early release days have allowed employees to build valuable connections and resources with each other. They have also allowed teachers time to learn, and improve themselves, therefore improving their time with students in the classroom.

Connie Epperson, Director of Professional Development

A major advance in school-wide discipline is the emphasis on school-wide systems of support that include proactive strategies for defining, teaching, and supporting appropriate student behaviors to create positive school environments. A selection of positive behavior support (PBS) for all students within a school is implemented in areas including the classroom and non-classroom settings (such as hallways, cafeteria, restrooms). Positive behavior support is an application of a behaviorally-based approach to improve the ability of schools, families, and communities to build effective environments that improve the link between research-validated practices and the environments in which teaching and learning occurs. Attention is focused on creating and sustaining primary (school-wide), secondary (classroom), and tertiary (individual) systems of support that improve life-style results (personal, health, social, family, work, recreation) for all children and youth by making problem behavior less effective, efficient, and relevant, and desired behavior more functional. The three Fulton Elementary Schools and Fulton Middle School are implementing PBS systems tailored specifically to their school environment.

The Fulton Public School District has been improvement planning strategically and effectively for 18 years. This is commonly referred to in our district as “The Strategic Plan.” Our district strategic planning team is comprised of 30 members, with representat ives from the Board of Education, administration, teaching staff, support staff, students, community members and parents. The group is facilitated by a local planning professional, as a volunteer service. They meet at a minimum of annually to study and review all aspects of the school district, assess district needs, and create plans for improvement. State and federal governments require each public school district to have a Comprehensive School Improvement Plan (CSIP). The terms “Strategic Plan” and “CSIP” both refer to the same document. In June of 2008, the team met and completed a plan to carry the district toward improvement through 2012. In September 2008, the Fulton Board of Education finalized the plan that includes the following goals:Goal #1: The Fulton School District will continually evaluate, upgrade and expand facilities and equipment to ensure optimal use, safety, cleanliness, appearance and health.Goal #2: The Fulton School District will continually evaluate and improve district programs to ensure they meet the needs of students and staff.Goal #3: The Fulton School District will improve student performance in areas of concern identified by federal, state and local standards.Goal #4: The Fulton School District will attract and retain a diversified quality staff and provide them with support and care.Goal #5: The Fulton School District will provide upgrades, additional technologies, and training for all students and staff.Goal #6: The Ful ton School District will comply with state and federal guidelines within the school improvement planning process.
