Supporting Data:

1. 2012-2013 COMPREHENSIVE NEEDS ASSESSMENT: Sugar Creek Elementary conducted

a three year data trend analysis of third and fourth grade student math achievement

using results from NWEA formative assessments, local common assessments,

Augmented Benchmark, ITBS Exams, and attendance rates. Results for all students and

the Targeted Achievement Gap Group, and NCLB sub populations were examined to

identify specific areas of weakness in the learning strands. Our data analysis identified

the following focus areas for improvement: Algebra, Geometry, and Measurement. We

examined our instructional strategies, classroom structure/grouping, and Classroom

Walkthrough data and are modifying our curriculum, instruction, common assessments

and professional development practices to better meet the needs of all our populations.

In addition, we meet in teams (weekly) with an instructional facilitator to review

formative, realtime classroom performance data and focus on student learning and

classroom instruction. The entire faculty meets monthly to review formative and

classroom performance data for the purpose of making decisions regarding the direction

and focus of our classroom instructional practices that will improve student

achievement. We will select appropriate interventions and use funds that put us in the

best position to address these needs.

Goal All students will improve in mathematic skills and responding to constructed response questions

with additional attention to algebra, measurement and geometry.

Benchmark

During the 2012-13 school year, Sugar Creek Elementary School will meet or exceed the Annual

Measurable Outcomes (AMO) for performance (2013) AMO 85.76% for all students and 76.85%

for Target Achievement Gap Group. Sugar Creek Elementary School will also meet or exceed the

AMOs for all NCLB subpopulations. For the 2011-2012 school year Sugar Creek Elementary met

the AMOs for performance and Growth in the all students population and performance or growth

in the Targeted Achievement Gap Group in Math.

Intervention: Sugar Creek Elementary explores and investigates standards-based math curricula and implement

the most effective math instruction to our students.

Supporting Data:


a three year data trend analysis of third and fourth grade student literacy achievement

using results from quarterly formative assessments, local common assessments,

Augmented Benchmark and ITBS Exams, and attendance rates. Results for both the all

students population, the targeted achievement gap group (TAGG) along with the NCLB

were examined to identify specific areas of weakness in the learning strands. Our data

analysis identified the following focus areas for improvement: Reading Literary Passage,

Content Passage, Reading Practical Passage, and Writing Content and Style. We

examined our instructional strategies, classroom structure/grouping, and Classroom

Walkthrough data and are modifying our curriculum, instruction, common assessments

and professional development practices to better meet the needs of all our populations.

In addition, we meet in teams (weekly), and as an entire faculty (monthly) to review

formative and classroom performance data for the purpose of making decisions

regarding the direction and focus of our classroom instruction that will insure student

achievement excellence. We will select appropriate interventions and use funds that put

us in the best position to address these needs.

2. The Attendance rate for 2011-2012 was 96.2%.

Goal

All students will improve in reading comprehension and written expression with additional

attention to literary, content and practical reading passages and content and style writing

domains.

Benchmark

On the 2012-2013 State Augmented Assessment, Sugar Creek Elementary will meet or exceed

the annual measurable outcomes (AMO) for performance 2013 with 84.51% for the all students

and 76.08% for Targeted Achievement Gap Group (TAGG). For growth AMO 84.9% for all

students and 80.08% for TAGG. Sugar Creek Elementary will also meet or exceed the AMOs for

all NCLB subpopulations. For the 2011-2012 school year Sugar Creek Elementary met the AMOs

for performance and growth in the all students population, but did not meet the AMOs for either

performance or growth for the TAGG.

Intervention: Sugar Creek Elementary uses a comprehensive literacy approach to comprehension instruction

with emphasis on monitoring comprehension, using graphic and semantic organizers, answering questions,

generating questions, recognizing story structure, summarizing, making use of prior knowledge and using

mental imagery. Sugar Creek Elementary focuses on developing reading skills in literary, content, and practical

domains with the integration of science and social studies frameworks through nonfiction text.

purchase 1 NEO2 receiver @

implemented NEO2 devices in

every 2nd grade class. The

reciever is used to connect 25

student NEO2 devices to the

teacher computer. This allows

students to respond to reading,

writing, and math prompts

wirelessly. The teacher can then

respond back. Students are

engaged utilizing technology

instead of paper and pencil. The

Wellness Committee utilized annual Body Mass Index data, School Health Index survey

results, attendance data and free & reduced lunch statistics to conduct a three year

trend analysis to determine areas of weakness in our school’ s plan to promote the

overall wellbeing of students and staff. Our data analysis identified the following focus

areas for improvement: BMI results of At Risk/Overweight males (16.2%) and females

(12.1%). We will select appropriate interventions and use funds that put us in the best

position to address these needs.

2. The number of discipline referrals will decrease in 2013. There were 443 discipline

referrals in 2012.

Goal Sugar Creek Elementary provides support for staff, students, their families, and community

involvement in making Healthy Life Style Choices.

Benchmark

Healthier BMI results will be evident by June 30, 2013. There will be a 0.05% difference in the

2011-2012 BMI results indicating healthier lifestyles are being practiced. According to the data

71.3% of the males in 2011 had Healthy BMI results while 67.9% in 2012 had Healthy BMI

results. In 2011 70% of the girls had healthy BMI results and in 2012 74.5% had healthy BMI

results. In 2013 there will be a .05% gain in healthier BMI for boys and girls.

Data:


a three year data trend analysis of third and fourth grade English Language Learner’ s

language development using results from the ELDA, quarterly formative assessments,

Augmented Benchmark and ITBS Exams. Results were examined to identify specific

areas of weakness in the learning strands. Our data analysis identified the following

focus areas for improvement: Writing and Reading on the ELDA and Practical and

Content Open Response on Augmented Benchmark. We examined our instructional

strategies, classroom structure/grouping, and Classroom Walkthrough data and are

modifying our curriculum, instruction, common assessments and professional

development practices to better meet the needs of all our populations. In addition, we

meet in teams (weekly), and as an entire faculty (monthly), to review formative, and

classroom performance data for the purpose of making decisions regarding the direction

and focus of our classroom instruction. We will select appropriate interventions and use

funds that put us in the best position to address these needs.

Goal

To provide support for English Language Learners in the development of spoken and applied

English, while building self-confidence and cultural awareness that is essential for success in

school and society.

Benchmark

On the 2012-2013 State Augmented Assessment, Sugar Creek Elementary's English Language

Learners will meet or exceed the annual measurable outcomes (AMO) for Literacy performance

(81.48%) and growth (100%). For the 2011-2012 school year Sugar Creek Elementary had less

than 10 students assessed in the ELL subgroup.

Intervention: Schoolwide assistance is provided to support effective instructional initiatives that focus on

improving the social and academic language skills for all identified English Language Learners.

meet the same challenging State academic standards that all other students are expected to meet.

All parents enrolling students

with Sugar Creek Elementary will

complete a Home Language

Survey. Any new language

minority student will be assessed

for language ability within the

first 30 days of school beginning

and/or within 20 days of

enrollment. Parental permission

will be sought for the type of

programming that is available for

their child/children. Parents will

also be informed of their right to

refuse services. Students who

qualify for ESL services will not

be denied access to the programs

because of a language barrier.
