School Improvement Plan IntroductionWilliam McKinley School 39

This school improvement plan was developed using a vision-based and data-driven process called Vision-to-Action that wasdeveloped by the Indiana Student Achievement Institute. In addition to containing the strategies our school and communityidentified as key to raising student achievement and closing achievement gaps in our school, this plan contains strategies that meetthe expectations of:

Indiana Student Achievement InstitutePL221Title I School WideNCAIPS

Participation

The following people were involved in developing this School Improvement Plan

Teachers Students Parent representatives Community representatives

Process

Those involved in developing this School Improvement Plan participated in a series of discussions related to the Vision-to-Action steps:

1. Establish a local culture of high expectations 2. Create a common vision for student success 3. Analyze achievement data and set realistic data targets for each of the next three years 4. Analyze force field data and identify concerns within the following areas.

Academic expectations Curriculum content Instructional practices Classroom assessment

Extra help Student guidance Learning environment

5. Research strategies to address our concerns and select high-leverage strategies to implement 6. Develop a to-do list for each strategy

Using Data for Decision-Marking

The Vision-to-Action process relies heavily on data as a foundation for decision-making.

1. Achievement Data – To what degree are students prepared for success at the next educational level, and ultimately for successin postsecondary education and a global economy?

2. Force Field Data – What conditions in the school and community interfere with high student achievement? 3. Strategy Data – Is the strategy having the desired impact on adults and students?

Implementation Next Year

Our work next year will be guided by the to-do list that we have developed for each strategy. We will also maintain anImplementation Binder for each strategy that contains the following documents:

1. Strategy Plan 2. Evidence that the strategy was implemented 3. Progress reports (containing strategy evaluation data)

Questions about the School Improvement Plan should be directed to the building principal.

Who Wrote this School Improvement Plan?Many individuals were involved in the creation of this school improvement plan. The Steering Team facilitated discussions involvingall teachers, all students, and community representatives including parents. Once these groups came to consensus on the DataTargets, Areas of Concern, and Strategies, strategy chairs and task forces were established to 1) develop a comprehensiveimplementation plan and 2) ensure that the plan is implemented next year.

Vision StatementThe Vision Statement was developed by all teachers, all students, and members of the community. The foundation of the statementidentifies the core convictions upon which this school improvement plan is built and answers the question, "What do our studentsdeserve in order to be successful learners, responsible citizens, and productive members of a global economy?" The second part ofthe vision statement describes ideal adults who are striving to provide students with the things they deserve. The third part of thevision statement describes the ideal students in a school and community where adults live by their convictions. The last part of thevision statement includes ideal data that represent the community’s dreams. This lofty data serves as the focal point for theremainder of the school improvement plan and requires the school and community to work toward every student succeeding at ahigh level.

We believe all students deserve:

a school environment surrounded by caring adults who have high expectations that all students can and will learn. We believe thatall students have the right to learn in a safe and secure environment. All adults and students are active in providing a school andhome connection that values the social, emotional, and educational well being of every child. We believe that all the adults in ourlearning community will strive to be exemplary role models while providing stimulating, rigorous lessons that prepare students to besuccessful in school and life.

All adults in our community are living by these core convictions daily and as a result, show the following attitudes and actions:

By believing and living these core convictions, all teachers agree to: Provide high-quality curriculum and instruction in a supportiveand effective learning environment that enables all participating children to meet the state’s student academic achievementstandards as follows: --Provide an environment conducive to learning and a high quality curriculum that will enable all children tomeet or exceed state performance standards --Provide rigorous and challenging lessons that prepare students to be lifelonglearners --Provide meaningful and appropriate homework activities --Maintain open lines of communication with parents andstudents from the school --Help every child grow to his/her potential through the use of appropriate instructional strategies andmaterials, small group activities and real world problems which require them to use the content they have learned --Holdparent-teacher conferences annually during which expectations and beliefs will be discussed as it relates to the individual childâsachievement. --Provide parents with bi-weekly reports on their childâs progress and provide reasonable access to staff forconferences. --Provide parents opportunities to volunteer and participate in their childâs class, and to observe classroom activities.As a parent or guardian, to support the core convictions, all parents agree to: --Encourage my child everyday to do his/her best--Inquire each day about my childâs day and to review material learned --Regular school attendance --Making sure that homeworkis completed --Monitoring amount of television my child watches. --Volunteering in my childâs classroom. --Participating, asappropriate, in decisions relating to my childâs education. --Promoting positive use of my childâs extracurricular time. --Provide ahome environment that encourages academic achievement --Communicate regularly with the teachers by conferences, calls ornotes. --Monitor student so that he/she gets enough rest, eats healthy meals and develops good health habits

In this environment where all adults are living by their core convictions, all students:

will share the responsibility to improve academic achievement in the following ways: --Come to school enthusiastically and ready tolearn --Do my homework every day and ask for help when I need to. --Read at least 30 minutes every day outside of school time.--Give my parents or the adult who is responsible for my welfare all notices and information received by me from my school everyday. --Get plenty of rest each day. --Attend school regularly and on time --Respect others and myself

As a result of these efforts, our school’s student achievement data is as follows:

% of students who 3rd graders mastering ISTEP essential skills: 100% % of students who 4th graders mastering ISTEP essential skills: 100% % of students who 5th graders mastering ISTEP essential skills: 100% % of students who 6th graders mastering ISTEP essential skills: 100%

Academic GoalsAfter analyzing longitudinal data that was disaggregated by the student groups identified in No Child Left Behind, teachers,students, parents, and community members identified achievement data targets for the next three years. These targets representacademic areas (subjects) which we wish to improve and specific groups of students we have targeted for improvement (e.g. 6thgraders). Our vision data represents our "dream" for all students. The data targets listed below each school year represent realisticsteps toward that dream.

Areas of ConcernTeachers, students, parents, and community members analyzed data in seven areas known to impact student achievement: 1)expectations, 2) curriculum content, 3) instructional practices, 4) classroom assessments, 5) extra help, 6) student guidance, and 7)the learning environment. We identified areas that we must address in order to reach our academic goals. Those areas are listedbelow as "Local Areas of Concern". Organizations outside of our school (e.g. the Indiana General Assembly) have identified areasof concern for all schools and have required schools to address those areas. These are listed below as "Required Areas ofConcern." Each Area of Concern listed below is followed by the condition in our school or community that led us to believe that thisis an Area of Concern.

Relationship Report -- Areas of Concern / Strategies / Data TargetsFormer Areas of Concern Summary

This report shows the relationship between the Areas of Concern, Strategies, and Data Targets. This report shows the following foreach area of concern: 1) the achievement area(s) that are being negatively impacted by the concern and 2) the strategies we willimplement to eliminate the concern. Basically, when we implement the strategies, the areas of concern should disappear. Once theareas of concern are gone, achievement should increase.
