SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT PLAN EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: School: McKell Middle School

MISSION STATEMENT “We look at students for who they are then ask what can we do to make them better.” (We look at individual students for who they are and then ask what can we do to make them better by working in partnership with students, parents, staff, and community members to provide a quality education for all.)

PROCESS OF DEVELOPING THE SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT PLAN How Our Teams Were Organized: We formed committees under the direction of the Schools To Watch Scoring Guide. Their composition and descriptions were based on the principles established on the Scoring Rubric from Schools to Watch. Academic Excellence Committee, Communication Committee, Developmental Responsiveness Committee, Organizational Sturctures & Processes Committee and Social Equity Committee.

How the Needs of the School or District Were Determined: The teams determined the needs of the school based on DATA from the sources listed below. 1. Title 1 Needs Assessment This is a comprehensive data collection tool, which includes every cognitive area of the State assessment process, student attendance, staff attendance, comparison of Advanced/Traditional classes, Student Questionnaire Information, Discipline Referrals, Parent/Community Involvement, data analysis and transitional activities. 2. Test Analysis Test data disaggregated and analyzed for identification of areas, trends, and achievement gaps. When areas are found, then needs are determined. How Goals and Strategies Were Decided Upon: The various teams used the above sources of information to develop DATA driven components, problem statements, cause statements, goal statements, improvement activities, and identify target groups for improvement. What Implementation of the Plan is expected to Achieve: The teams utilized school data to develop activities directed at school improvement, and identify target groups for measured improvement. We feel that the process was one of healthy analysis of the total school program, and the key components will assist our school in reaching expected levels of performance in the current biennium. Our main source of concentration will be upon providing an equitable program for all students that will improve individual student performance. Improvement Goals

Improvement Goals are to ensure that our school remains on course during time it takes to obtain the Quality Goals. 1. There shall be an annual increase in the percentage (as stated in each goal) of accountability cycle students who perform at the proficient

level as measured by the state testing accountability system. 2. There shall be an annual increase in the percentage (as stated in each goal) of students at grades 6,7, & 8 who perform at the fiftieth

percentile (proficient level) as measured by a norm-referenced test. 3. There shall be an annual decrease in the proportion of students performing at the proficient level (as stated in each goal) as a result of

their socio-economic status or gender. 4. Our school shall attain its threshold goal within the current biennium assessment accountability cycle.

Excellence Goals

Excellence Goals were developed to ensure that the percentage of students that are performing at the higher achievement levels would continue to increase and not diminish due to the current efforts being placed at the other end of the scale.

1. There shall be an annual increase in the percentage of accountability cycle students performing at the distinguished level (as stated in each goal) as measured by the accountability system.

2. There shall be an annual increase in the percentage of students (as stated in each goal) at grades 6,7, & 8 who perform at the seventy-fifth percentile as measured by a norm-referenced test.

3. There shall be no significant level as a result of socio-economic status or gender. Based on school policy, instructional time shall be maximized and protected to the fullest extent. Allowing for teachers optimal time of instructional contact with the flexibility needed to adjust that time. All school activities during said time should be driven by an instructional reinforcement criteria with student / teacher ratio being a factor to consider. High expectations will be communicated to students regarding the standards of content and behavior. What Process is used for Internal Review of the Plan: Each committee will meet to address the Components of the SIP that apply to them accordingly. Timelines and targets are reviewed/revised at that time. How Public Comment was Secured and What Response was made: Public comment is allowed at any SBDM Meeting. Each and every person has the right to attend these meetings and speak to the Council if they so choose. Delegations are requested at each meeting. How the School improvement Plan will be ensured in the Future: The school administration will continue to implement the policies of the school. Regularly discuss with the staff members about the progress and implementation of the SIP, curriculum, academic performance, and other issues and operations of the school, which are not included in the fore-mentioned areas. These discussions shall occur during team planning meetings, faculty meetings and SBDM meetings. They will seek others to empower them of highly sustained success of students and staff. The School Improvement Plan will be ensured through the continued use of assessment analysis, Title 1 Needs Assessment, and any other “DATA” driven technique necessary. We have gone to great measures to ensure that we have a useful tool that is applicable to our school.

COMMUNICATION PLAN How will the School Improvement Plan and Other Important Information Be Shared with Stakeholders? All information is shared with stakeholders through newsletter, positive written/verbal contacts with parents made by certified staff, SBDM Council Meetings and Open House, Parent/Teacher Conference, school web-site news and notes.

How will input be gathered from Stakeholders?

Input will continue to be gathered through the use of the Surveys, Open House, Parent/Teacher, and SBDM Council Meetings. Parents and Community members shall be invited to participate in Council, Committee, and instructional activities to follow the policies of the school. Every attempt to reach out to all stakeholders in addressing the instructional and non-instructional needs of the students shall be taken to better the lives of our children. “WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER,” is a common statement at McKell Middle School. Faculty/Staff, Parents, Students, and the Community must work together to ensure the best education possible for our future.

SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT PLAN 2009/10 Component –Social Equity

NEEDS AND GOALS Component Manager: Brenda Box

Date: Priority Need: Education equity results in responsible, individual life

choices regardless of race, gender, disability, age, national origin, color, economic status, religion, geographic region, or other characteristics. Achieving equity requires respecting, valuing, supporting, encouraging, and promoting differences.

Goal: To ensure that equity abounds in all aspects of the school

environment as it applies to each individual and is embedded in the lessons provided by the staff. These will follow school and district policy and will be monitored.

Causes/Contributing Factors: Hiring practices and personnel

(particularly dealing with “Highly Qualified” status) decisions, student classification, scheduling, and participation in activities are factors, which need to be at issue in accomplishing goal.

Measurable Objectives: This equity will increase productivity in the

teaching and learning environment. Equity will be achieved when: • A belief in the worth of all learners; • High expectations for all learners; • An environment that will not tolerate discrimination or segregation; • Building on the strengths of individuals and capitalizing on differences; • An accepting, encouraging, and inclusive learning climate that allows intellectual and academic risk taking; • Curriculum of inclusion and effective instruction appropriate for the academic and affective needs of each child; • Learners are aware of various life choices and opportunities; • Purposeful recruitment, hiring, promotion, and retention of role models who represent the diversity of society; • Personal and professional accountability; • Collaboration with home and institutions that promote the development of academics, character, and community.
