New Braunfels ISD’s Comprehensive Needs Assessment Process (CNA)

State and federal law both require schools to conduct a comprehensive needs assessment (CNA) as part of the planning and decision making process. The

purpose of the CNA is to examine multiple sources of data to identify the priority needs and direction for the school. This process is the pre-work to the

development of the campus and district improvement plans and decisions regarding the justification for use of NCLB and other State funds. When conducted

properly, the CNA provides schools with identified strengths and weaknesses and specifies priorities for addressing student achievement and meeting

challenging academic and performance standards.

Conducting a CNA is a process, not an event. Data collection and analysis is ongoing to ensure that progress toward the school’s objectives, goals, mission and

vision are being realized. Areas to be addressed include student performance and achievement; school climate and safety; staff quality and professional

development; curriculum, instruction and assessment; parent and community involvement; school organization and policy; and technology.

1. Campus administrators review NBISD Goals and purpose and outcomes for conducting the CNA with a campus team (principals, teachers, and staff).

Expectations and guidelines are established and short and long-term timelines are set.

2. Each campus establishes teams composed of parents and community members, teachers, and administrators that meet throughout the year to examine

multiple sources of data. Sources of data may include, but are not limited to, parent, student and teacher surveys; academic achievement on local and

state assessments; review of State AEIS and Federal AYP reports; and review of prior year campus improvement plans. Meeting agendas, minutes and

sign-in sheets document this process.

3. Teams analyze collected data to identify campus strengths and needs. Needs are prioritized and all findings are recorded on campus CNA summary.

4. Campus representative’s review identified strengths and prioritized needs to a meeting of the Campus Improvement Committee (CIC). This data is

compiled and used in developing the school’s comprehensive needs assessment.

5. CNA findings are connected to the campus and district improvement plan development and review process. District and campus improvement plans

identify strategies and activities designed to address prioritized campus and district needs. Priorities and needs correlate with justifications for Title I-III

and SCE program expenditures.

Area Reviewed Summary of Strengths What were the identified strengths?

Summary of Needs What were the identified needs?

Priorities What are the priorities for the campus, including how federal and state program funds will be used?

Instruction: Tutorials School Tutorial times before and after

school. Students who miss tutorials due to NBHS shuttle in

morning and afternoons.

Create system for parent and sponsor permission for

student to stay at NGC for needed tutorials. This

includes monitoring of student for missing class-time.

Instruction: Pedagogy Continue evolution of Authentic Project

Based Learning (PBL) into classrooms. Perception by parents and some teachers is that

projects are being given out for project’s sake with

no guidelines or boundaries.

Administrators will conduct frequent planning and

walkthroughs with educators to ensure high quality

instruction that is interactive and authentic.

Instruction: Planning Core content teachers have common team

planning period. Integration of district curriculum specialists into

core team planning and data analysis to refine

instruction strategies

Curriculum specialists will work with core teams and

new staff to identify instructional gaps and give

feedback to improve instruct.

Instruction: Intervention

Counselors review individual student EOC

and semester grades for assignment to

appropriate courses.

Creating smaller classes for Algebra I classes along

with proper placement of Algebraic Reasoning

students a priority to improve student testing

success.

Improved communication with parents regarding

curricular requirements and possible course

selection/schedule changes based on student’s

educational needs.

Instruction: Grading Policy Staff continues to be diligent in refining

grading policy to help demonstrate student

proficiency. Example: English 50/40/10

Continued issues regarding grades being entered in

a timely manner. Teachers should not wait until

the last week of the grading period to enter 0’s.

NGC policy instituted regarding weekly posting of

grades on Monday’s by the end of the day. This

coincides with district change to 9-week grading

periods.

Instruction: Electronic

Devices Use of IPAD’s prevalent in all classes to

support both PBL and more direct

instructional styles.

Teachers need to take a more assertive role in

establishing classroom procedures and routines for

use of personal electronics.

Professional Learning Community of teachers formed

for NGC Leadership decisions. Leadership PLC discussed

and implemented new cell phone and electronic policy

for devices on campus.

Safety Kids are comfortable reporting issues of

concern to necessary staff. Repeated issues with students out of control in

class have students, parents, and teachers

concerned.

Building relationships with students quickly (one year

campus) as well as discovering learning styles for

appropriate student classroom fit to teacher.

Safety Discipline records reflect that disrespectful

behaviors are committed by 5% of the

student population.

Disrespect in the classrooms (Students toward

Teachers) Use of advisory time by administrators, counselors, and

facility monitor to meet with students in small group

settings regarding appropriate social behaviors.

Facilities Issues are communicated to administration

by staff, students and parents. Consistent

water issues adversely affect teacher moral.

Bathrooms, gutters, and ceilings are in need of

repairs. Principal conducts continuous inspections and solicits

feedback from staff and custodians to develop a short

and long range improvement and maintenance plan.

Parental Involvement Parents participate in 1-to-1 graduation

plan conferences with their student and

counselor.

Parent requests for shorts were agree to at

campus and district levels.

Continue to explore further opportunities for

parents to be involved with their student’s

education.

Reach out to parents for participation in various district

and campus events and/or committees.

Extra-Curricular Activities When weather cools, students are allowed

to go outside on the patio and field during

lunch.

Currently 400 plus students travel to NBHS

for extra-curricular activities.

Offer new electives late in the day such as “School

of Rock” or powerlifting to help class schedules,

and reach student currently not engaged.

Update our HUB with inviting spaces for the students to

include activities like chess or checkers. New Librarian

position would monitor these activities.

Reconfigure male locker room space for new weight

room.

Library

week. Full time librarian hired for 2016-2017.

Attendance

Strong attendance and punctuality is a

closely monitored expectation. Improve NGC Attendance rate a primary goal

Student excessive tardies and administrative

consistency a concern for teachers.

Admin team collectively consistent on following up with

3 tardies in a five day period policy.

Use of early year warning / Contract letters - immediate

Staff Monthly hospitality for staff is identified as

a strength at the NGC. Continue to find ways to recognize teachers and

staff for hard work and accomplishment. Jean coupon one avenue to reward teachers for

accomplishing task.

Behavior issues ISS is in a good location and has posted

expectations. More strict punishment for chronic bad behaviors –

ISS needs to be less desirable New staff member hired for 2016-2017 with extensive

experience in ISS classroom environment.

Communication

Teachers do a great job of responding to

parent concerns or emails in a timely

manner

Pro-active communication – weekly newsletters,

personal phone calls for both positive and negative

student issues.

NGC Leadership PLC adopting four positive phone calls a

week policy for campus, to include documentation.
