Tippit Middle SchoolNARRATIVE

2012-2014

Tippit Middle School is located at 1601 Leander Rd. in Georgetown, TX 78628. It was built in 1981 and is the oldest of the three middle schools in the Georgetown IndependentSchool District. The school currently houses 811 students and 68 teachers, as well as 26 members of the administrative and support staff. In 2010-2012, Tippit earned the rating of“Academically Acceptable” from the Texas Education Agency, and the school has not met all Federal requirements for “Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP)” under NCLB.

The breakdown of the student population of Tippit Middle School aligns with that of the Georgetown area, both in rate of growth and demographic information. The currentenrollment represents an increase of almost four percent from one year ago. Ethnically, Tippit has a 38.42% white population, and the Hispanic group makes up 54.43% of thecampus. There is a 3.45% African American population on campus, American Indian/Alaska Native is at .62%, with the remaining .74% being Asian. 2.2% of our studentpopulation is registered as 2 or more races. 58.49% percent of the students at TMS qualify for free or reduced meals at school, giving them the label of “EconomicallyDisadvantaged” by the State. While the Hispanic population is significant in size, most students have been exposed to English in the home, with only 13.05% of students labeledas “Limited English Proficient”. The At-Risk population is 40.27 percent, and the mobility subset of less than 15 percent falls well below the Texas average and represents thestability within the community.

At Tippit Middle School, our goal of the campus improvement plan is led by five priorities:

Academic PrioritiesPriority 1 - Improve the education design and delivery of instruction and curriculum by utilization of proven best practicesPriority 2 - Organize and optimize resources for improved academic resultsPriority 3 - Analyze and measure teacher and Principals / Leadership Team effectiveness in improving student performance and resultsPriority 4 - Develop, expand, and support a literacy-based initiative that goes beyond the walls of the schoolPriority 5 - Create unique, innovative family- and community-friendly partnerships to improve academic results

The information below will list the activities on our campus that directly support and enable our campus community to collectively plan, implement, and own OUR campusimprovement plan.

Campus “RtI” Team: Our RtI Team meets at least 4 times a year to review EVERY student’s progress, current interventions, response to interventions, or need for more/lessintense interventions as driven by formal and informal data.Campus Professional Learning Committees: Every teacher and staff member on our campus serves on a campus committee. Each committee is formulated to support each oneof our campus CIP goals. These committees are the heart and soul of our CIP. They work together to write their portion of the CIP. These committees will meet once a month toreview progress and fidelity of our campus implementation of our goals.Instructional Coach/Campus Leadership Team (C.L.T.): Our IC/CLT is the driving force and facilitator of each of the committees. This group serves as the committee leaders.They meet with the Principals / Leadership Team once a month to set the agenda and review the goals for the upcoming committee meetings.Grade level Team Leaders: Our grade level team leaders serve as the facilitator for our team level curriculum planning, review of grade level and school-wide data, as well as theconduit between the Principals / Leadership Team and team to disseminate information to and from the Principals / Leadership Team - specific to grade level and curriculumdecisions and planning.Curriculum Planning Periods: Each core curriculum team member-at each grade level- will have a set time daily to meet together to collaborate in writing lesson plans, reviewdata trends, and to receive grade level and discipline specific training by our Teacher Leaders/Coaches.Grade Level Team Meetings: Team meetings are held weekly. These meetings are reserved to review campus information, announcements, and grade level business. These areheld in order to honor all curriculum time and ensure constant collaborating and continuity between the classes in each classroom, as well as throughout the school.Parent Committee: Our parent committee meets at least once per nine weeks to offer direct feedback pertaining to the functionality of the school, concerns, celebrations, andinformation that directly affects our community members.

Faculty Meetings: We have a faculty meeting once per month. These faculty meetings are reserved for school-wide team building and direct faculty and staff professionaldevelopment. All school business information is disseminated through team meetings and Team Leader meetings.Vertical Team Meetings: Vertical Professional Learning Community team meetings are interwoven into our committee meetings and in our core curriculum meetings. Thesegroups directly discuss grade level and school-wide data trends, concerns, celebrations and their direct implications to the instruction and curriculum implementation.State of Tippit Meeting: A school-wide meeting to allow each committee to share with the school our progress toward each goal and actions pertaining to those goals. Staffmembers are then encouraged to share their direct feedback and recommendations for each of the CIP goals.Classroom Survey Meetings with Admin: Each teacher meets with campus administration to review and go over current data-every nine weeks. This is an opportunity for theteacher(s) and administration to celebrate together, as well as collaboratively identify gaps, concerns, and areas of focus. Teachers are expected to know their data and the directimplications of their classroom data.Peer Observations: Each teacher will participate in two peer observations per school year. This works to create a true understanding of what their peers are doing. It alsoencourages collaboration. It ties accountability to district and campus-adopted instructional strategies. The first Peer Observation is a teacher in their own core discipline. Thesecond is of a peer either in the grade above or below them and can be a discipline other than the discipline they are teaching. Our 8th grade teachers should do a peer observationof the 9th grade teachers at East View High School and our 6th grade teachers should do a peer observation of the 5th grade teachers at one of our feeder campuses (PickettElementary School, Williams Elementary School, or Mitchell Elementary School).Parent Collaboration and Notification: We work hard to educate our parents on what is expected of each student at Tippit Middle School, as well as offer our parents trainings toempower our parents to support their children through their educational journey. We strive to create a partnership between the parents and the school. We celebrate often. Wenotify immediately of any concerns.Campus and Grade-level Book Studies: Directly aligns to professional development that correlates with campus data.Tippit/Mitchell/Pickett/Williams/East View High School collaboration meetings: Campus administration, teachers, and specialists from both campuses will meet numeroustimes throughout the year to review data, to discuss curriculum and instructional implementation, celebrations and areas of focus.English Language Learners/Limited English Proficiency Team Meetings: English Language Learners/Limited English Proficiency teachers and paras meet at least once amonth for ELL/LEP/ELPS specific training and planning to directly impact instruction for our students where English is their second or other language.Community Feeder Collaborative Cadre: This committee consists of all three feeder elementary schools, Tippit Middle School, and East View High School. The intent of thiscollaborative cadre is to review existing data trends and to allow for planning between all 5 campuses. It will allow for us to continue authentically working with ourstudents from the start and build a very successful transitional process that looks at all community feeder schools.

Key areas of focus for growth have also been our biggest areas of celebration. We are collectively and collaboratively focusing on five areas:1. Building Students’ Background Knowledge

2. Using Research-Based Instruction with English Language Learners

3. Differentiating Instruction So All Students Can Succeed

4. Designing Results-Driven Curriculum

5. Developing Principals / Leadership Teams and Teachers As Instructional Leaders

Tippit Key Areas of Focus for Growth for the 2012-2014 School Years:

Building students’ background knowledge: “If I ran a school, I’d give the average grade to the ones who gave me all the right answers, for being good parrots. I’d give the topgrades to those who made a lot of mistakes and told me about them, and then told me what they learned from them,” (R. Buckminster Fuller). Students are constantly confrontedwith new information, particularly once they progress to the upper elementary grades and transition from “learning to read” to “reading to learn” (Chall, 1983). To read to learneffectively students need to integrate new material into their existing knowledge base, construct new understanding, and adapt existing conceptions and beliefs as needed.Proficiency at these tasks is essential to literacy (Davis & Winek, 1989; Squire, 1983; Weisberg, 1988). However, students who lack sufficient background knowledge or areunable to activate this knowledge may struggle to access, participate, and progress throughout the general curriculum, where reading to learn is a prerequisite for success. We havefound through analyzing our data, Tippit’s data, and through research that the biggest impact we can make on the student population we serve it to create opportunities to build andfoster background knowledge. Our ability to enrich students’ vocabulary development directly tie to students having the ability to connect their past, current, and future learning tothe background knowledge they have attained. Our goal is to continue researching and refining our ability to create an environment that fosters and elicits language andvocabulary development. This will have a natural positive correlation to student success in all academic disciplines by increasing student’s ability to comprehend and makeconnections to the learning at hand.

Use Research-Based Instruction with English Language Learners: “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed individuals can change the world; indeed it’s theonly thing that ever has,” (Margaret Mead). Our teachers found professional development to be most helpful when it provided opportunities for hands-on practice with teachingtechniques readily applicable in their classrooms, in-class demonstrations with their own or a colleague’s students, or personalized coaching. Collaboration with specialeducation/504 teachers and INTERVENTION TEACHERS specialists also are proving to positively affect the quality of instruction. Being that a large portion of our students areeither English Language Learners or are living in a residence of predominantly Spanish speaking adults, it is imperative that we continue to research and find ways to address theunique needs of these students. Currently, we are participating in a book study with our bilingual teaching staff. The book we are studying together is: The Framework forUnderstanding Poverty by Ruby Payne. This book presents participants with ideas and strategies in response to current research and changing contexts for teaching childrencoming from poverty or from a unique home environment. Our focus is to create a Culturally Competent Campus. Our teachers needed a resource that gives them research-basedinstructional advice for helping all students meet standards while giving non-native speakers access to the same high-quality education as their English-speaking peers. In ourbook study and in our team discussions, we are constantly looking for ways to insure, not only adequate progress, but we also know that many of our bilingual or EnglishLanguage Learners are more than a year behind in academics. We have to find ways to close the gap and insure that our students will transition successfully into the East ViewHigh School program and that they are going with appropriate literacy and math skills in both English. We continue striving to refine our process. Through continuedcollaboration and feedback with the East View High School’s teachers and with the district implementation of Eduphoria, we are constantly given up-to-date data on the effects ofour instructional practices at Tippit Middle School. Based upon current data trends, we need to continue refining our E.S.L./L.O.T.E. instruction to increase English fluency, aswell as student ability to attend to English text tied to reading comprehension and problem-solving. Writing mechanics in English and Spanish have shown tremendousimprovement, but we feel that we still need to really focus on tying our writing process to the core curriculum we teach. We will also be working on enhancing our literacy librarywith books that are expository texts, and our ability to effectively use these resources, so that we can increase our integration of literacy concepts in all academic/core disciplines.

Differentiate Instruction So All Students Can Succeed: “Let us think of education as the means of developing our greatest abilities, because in each of us there is a private hopeand dream, which, fulfilled, can be translated into benefit for everyone and greater strength for our nation,” (John F. Kennedy). Differentiated instruction recognizes and actsupon the reality that children learn differently. We, as a staff, are finding out/confirming it is not a question of good or bad classrooms; it is not a question of which teachers areworking harder. It is doing what is instructionally the right thing to do; beginning where students are and trying to take them as far as they can go in their learning. Learning takesplace only when students experience instruction at a level of difficulty that is appropriately challenging and attainable (Tomlinson, 2003; Wolfe, 2001). Students are recognized forcurrent levels of achievement and then challenged to strive toward their personal best. We know that our parents give us the best children they have. It is our responsibility to takeour students from where they are currently into the high expectations we have set for them. Our campus truly believes that all students can and will succeed and it is ourresponsibility to create an educational program and setting that is conducive to allowing students’ academic, emotional, and social success to take place. We are responsible foraccepting that we must know our data to guide our practice. Our individual data show different needs for different students, thus our instructional approaches must be different inorder to accommodate the unique challenges of all of our learners. We are consistently looking for means to differentiate our instruction. Our small group guided instruction inboth math and reading will prove to be very successful in addressing these unique needs. We are constantly striving to improve these instructional strategies. One of the vehiclesbeing used to continuously refine our instructional strategies is through the collaboration of our Department Chair Instructional Coaches. Our Instructional Coaches/Instructional

Coaches will work together with our classroom teachers to better understand their data, as well as the implications attached to the data. Our Instructional Coaches and I will meetfrequently to discuss their progress with the teachers they are coaching. Our Instructional Coaches and I will be doing leadership book studies/reviews together. We will do abook study, Everyone’s a Coach by Don Shula and Building Background Knowledge for Academic Achievement by Robert Marzano. Our intent of reviewing and dialoguingabout these books is to provide a more in-depth understanding of our curriculum in order to provide an even stronger support mechanism for our instructional staff and our parents.By participating in these book studies and dialogues, we ourselves, model the value of learning and using this knowledge base to guide our practice.

Design Results-Driven Curriculum: “Learning is not attained by chance. It must be sought for with ardor and attended to with diligence,” (Abigail Adams). In order to createmore rigorous and engaging curriculums we must get a handle on standards, align programs to assessments, and guide our teachers in implementing a standards-based curriculum.Data driven instruction, standards-based teaching, diagnostic teaching, high-stakes assessments . . . they’re not just buzz words. We know that these, in fact, offer teacherspowerful tools for planning differentiated instruction. We all must continue working hard to become masters at collecting, analyzing, and using data to design curriculum,instruction, and assessment that offers our teachers the step-by-step strategies and planning tools they need to help all students learn what they must know and be able to do. Weare constantly working on refining our understanding of our current data and the implications tied to this data. This mandates frequent meetings with our Instructional Coaches,classroom teachers, and administration in order to collaborate and create appropriate intervention plans to meet the unique needs of our students. Data is ever-changing, thus ourinstructional approaches must change to accommodate these needs. Our campus is embracing the fact that we must be a professional learning community if we fully intend tomeet the changing needs of our students. This means that we must constantly strive to research and find new and innovative strategies to meet the needs of all learners at TippitMiddle School.

Develop Principals / Leadership Teams and Teachers As Instructional Leaders: “A leader is someone who has the capacity to create a compelling vision that takes people to anew place, and to translate that vision into action. Leaders draw other people to them by enrolling them in their vision. What leaders do is inspire people, empower them. Theypull rather than push.” (Warren Bennis) We all know that schools are complex places, and teaching is a difficult and challenging job. In my own research, I have seen that manyschools do not have a clear and shared sense of purpose focused on student learning. Yet, without it, programs can become fragmented, teachers can lose motivation, andimprovement attempts can fail. Without a clear idea or focus of what is important, our work can become dissipated and undirected. Without a clear and collaborative sense ofdirection, planning and decision-making about programs, curricula, and instruction have the potential to remain uncoordinated or unintentional. We work very hard to establishteams, featuring members of all major groups in the school, to work on a shared vision for the school. It is imperative that all staff and faculty have an active voice in decision-making on our campus. Every staff and faculty member serves on a committee that directly affects our site-based decision-making. My intent as a building Principals / LeadershipTeam is not to build a legacy. My intent as a Principals / Leadership Team is to build the capacity for leadership among the staff and faculty that I work with in order to movetoward the ability of sustainability. A successful and functioning program must have the ability to sustain, even if key players are removed from the equation. My responsibility asa campus leader is to empower the staff and faculty I work with to own their decisions about our students. To do this means that I must involve them in as many components ofbuilding operations as possible. I must foster an environment that encourages our staff and faculty to take educated risks with our students. By doing this, our staff and faculty aremore likely to engage in personal learning and decision-making that is driven by data, goals, and student performance rather than ego or pride. We will consistently haveconversations about facing the brutal facts. We will work hard to insure our focus is about student needs, not adult convenience. At times, data is tough to swallow. However,when we are student-focused, it does not become a personal attack as much as it becomes an instructional focus and areas we can constantly refine and improve upon. Our stafffirmly believes that we must be willing to grow or we need to go. When we are willing to grow as educators, then we will never cease in learning about how to best serve ourstudents and community!

Needs assessments are performed at Tippit Middle School as an ongoing part of the District strategic planning and Campus Improvement planning processes.

In analyzing the data for the campus, Tippit Middle School recognizes the achievement gaps that exist within a number of demographic groups, and programs have beenimplemented in a variety of forms to address these concerns. To meet the needs of our English Language Learners (those students whose primary language in the home is notEnglish),Tippit uses the Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol (SIOP) model. As s campus goal for this year, we will continue training with every classroom teacher in theSIOP model and with ELPS in the classroom. This training of teachers is research-based and assists students in language acquisition through all disciplines of the curriculum.

Beyond the four core subject areas, Tippit has thriving programs in other areas. Career Connections is a course offered for high school credit in the Career and TechnicalEducation Department. The fine arts are represented through band, choir, orchestra and choir programs. Tippit competes as part of the University Interscholastic League in thefollowing sports: football, boys’ and girls’ basketball, girls’ volleyball, girls’ and boys’ tennis, girls’ and boys’ track and girls’ and boys’ soccer. The fine arts and academicprograms also compete under the guidelines of the UIL.

Tippit Middle School receives outstanding community support from a thriving local PTA. Additionally, the Georgetown Project, and Georgetown Partners in Education provideneeded community support for the students and staff.

Tippit Middle School has a stated goal of achieving a higher rating from the Texas Education Agency, but more so a true marked increase in our student data with all coreassessments in all sub groups. To that end, the faculty, staff, and students maintain a theme and core value of, “Every Student, Every Day, in Every Way”.

Tippit Middle SchoolComprehensive Needs Assessment

GISD will utilize the NCLB CNA tool for this section of the CIP.

The NCLB CNA tool focuses on the following areas:• Demographics• Student Achievement• School Culture and Climate• Staff Quality, Recruitment, and Retention• Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment• Family and Community Involvement• School Organization• Technology

1. The campus staff will be organized into committees. Each focused on gathering data for their assigned category area. The committees review data (quantitativeand qualitative sources) that provide the most information to assess the strengths and needs of the system. Committees summarize their findings and present tothe CIP team.

2. The CIP/Instructional Leadership Team will use the committee findings to determine campus areas of priority and summarize needs.

3. Campus decisions will be led by the information determined through the CNA process. Campus expenditures, staffing needs, activities, and other decisionsshould be focused on meeting the needs of the students, as indicated by the CNA.

COMPREHENSIVE NEEDS ASSESSMENTSUMMARY DOCUMENT

DemographicsThe population of Tippit Middle School is becoming increasingly diverse. The Hispanic population is steadily growing, and the number of English Language Learners/LanguageOther Than English students has increased sharply over the past 5 years. One of the most unique aspects of Tippit is the broad socio-economic diversity, which does not seem tohave a negative impact on students. Those who have the most seem willing to give to those without. Students classified as Economically Disadvantaged continues to be near 59%and has shown consistent increase. The breakdown of the student population of Tippit Middle School aligns with that of the Georgetown area, both in rate of growth anddemographic information. The current enrollment represents an increase of almost four percent from one year ago. Ethnically, Tippit has a 38.42% white population, and theHispanic group makes up 54.43% of the campus. There is a 3.45% African American population on campus, American Indian/Alaska Native is at .62%, with the remaining .74%being Asian. 2.2% of our student population is registered as 2 or more races. 58.49% percent of the students at TMS qualify for free or reduced meals at school, giving them thelabel of “Economically Disadvantaged” by the State. While the Hispanic population is significant in size, most students have been exposed to English in the home, with only13.05% of students labeled as “Limited English Proficient”. The At-Risk population is 40.27 percent, and the mobility subset of less than 15 percent falls well below the Texasaverage and represents the stability within the community. In looking at our TELPAS data, the number of students who moved to Monitor status for the 2012-2014school year:Grade 6 à 8 students ( none from Williams, 2 from Pickett, none from Mitchell, 6 additional were eligible to exit yet were not moved to Monitor status); Grade 7à 15 students;Grade 8à 14 students. The number of students who are currently at Advanced or Advanced-High level with more than 6 years in US schools: Grade 6à 39 students ( 9 fromWilliams, 7 from Pickett, 23 from Mitchell) (out of 53 total LEP); Grade 7à 8 students (out of 18 total LEP); Grade 8à 11 students (out of 17 total LEP). The remaining LEPstudents are progressing as expected in English showing adequate progress through our TELPAS scores.

Student AchievementTippit will receive the “Academically Acceptable” Rating for this school year based on 2012-2014STAAR (which are still rated from the previous year’s TAKS) scores. STAARscores have shown a decrease in all core areas. Part of this decrease is tied directly to a new assessment tool. In doing the CNA, our campus identified specific TARGET AREASthat will enable us to address curricular needs. Our largest focus area is MATH and ELAR. In these two specific academic areas, we will need to continue focusing on all of ourSUB POPS (Hispanic, African American, Sp.Ed., ELL, and ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED). A new scheduling design will allow for more intentional and targetedinterventions to take place. A closer and more frequent monitoring of all campus, district, and state assessment data will enable teachers to identify students in need in a muchearlier approach, as well as offer authentic progress monitoring to ensure sustainable growth due to authentic interventions and extension activities. Teachers and staff will be heldaccountable for monitoring and disaggregation of assessment data. Teachers will implement TIER 1 and some 2interventions inside the classrooms-ensuring appropriate andtimely documentation. A collective and collaborative approach to student interventions will allow for true documentation of interventions and an authentic approach to RtI. Thereis a tremendous gap between sub groups and white. While working on interventions, our campus will also focus on creating a culturally competent campus climate. We willevaluate all student groups, including our students who are taking courses in PAP and advanced/GT classroom settings. Data will be reviewed to ensure that student work andprogress demonstrate that they are truly being held accountable for growth in all their classes. This will be done by evaluating all student data on a consistent and frequent basis.Assessments will be common. All campus summative assessments will be entered into our Eduphoria system to allow for instantaneous results and disaggregation of data whichwill provide appropriate measures to allow for authentic differentiation of instruction for all students at Tippit Middle School. Last school year data showed a consistent increasein student progress with our campus and district standardized assessments. However, that progress was not accurately seen on our STAAR results when analyzing our RAWSCORE DATA. Our campus will work to create assessments that truly emulate the testing structure of the STAAR assessment in order to better prepare our students for thistesting structure. Teachers and staff will work to create a collective assessment language that will be used during instruction. Academic vocabulary and appropriate languagesupports will be put into place on a consistent basis in all academic settings to ensure appropriate support levels are maintained to allow for appropriate skills acquisition. Teacherswill work collaboratively to ensure that both vertical and horizontal alignment take place. There will be a direct focus on integrated thematic instruction to allow for inter-relatedsupport and relevance are brought to the curriculum. This will also allow for a true school-wide literacy focus in all disciplines, as well as teaching skills in authentic context. Asa campus who did not meet No Child Left Behind Adequate Yearly Progress for 2 consecutive years, our focus for student progress has been intensified considerably. However,the required improvement measures identified for Tippit Students is viable. Tippit Middle School was very close to meeting required improvement for the previous school yearand our leadership team feels with the new focus, academic planning structure, implementation of the Instructional Coach model, and through authentic use of timely data, we willmeet or exceed all required growth indicators as identified by our NCLB AYP report. As a part of our goal of facilitating the advancement of all students, we will focus on thenatural academic progression of all students groups, taking into consideration language and disability limitations in order to provide authentic enrichment and extensionopportunities (i.e. LEP, Special Education, 504, economically disadvantaged, etc.). In evaluating what we as a campus has seen as our highest Student Needs thus far for many ofour students: Greater English preparation prior to coming to TMS focusing on content-area vocabulary; Higher level of parent involvement from our ESL &/or Hispanic parents

(i.e—PTA, LPAC, volunteering, how to help kids with homework, etc.); Focus in Study skills, using academic tools & resources (dictionaries, math charts, internet research); andGreater access to technology at home (computer, internet, etc.).

School Culture and ClimateThe benefits of creating a positive learning environment, a culture of inquiry and thought, and a climate of passion and excitement are obvious; a school having such characteristicswill be a place that students enjoy coming to everyday, an institution for which parents will be grateful and work to support, and a source of pride for the community in general.High-performing schools have climates that nurture the commitment and engagement of teachers, parents, and students.

The goal continues to be to make Tippit a safe place where students, staff, and families enjoy coming to school and employees feel empowered to do their work for the good ofstudents. On campus safety, TMS has implemented two different initiatives to address bullying and harassment of students. Restorative practices, are both proactive and reactive,ranging from relationship and community-building activities to effective processes for dealing with disruptive student behavior and violence. When systematically employed on awhole-school basis, restorative practices transform negative school environments by engaging students in taking responsibility for making their own schools better. Restorativepractices stands in stark contrast to the reliance on punishment employed in schools.

To encourage a school culture and climate that promotes individuals who are bonded together by natural will, and who are together bound to a set of shared ideas, and ideals thenPrincipals / Leadership Teams must strengthen their efforts towards improving connections, coherence, capacity, commitment, and collaboration among their members(Sergiovanni, 2001). The attributes of a supportive climate promoted in successful schools include: Continual sharing of ideas- Teachers share ideas daily regarding vital issues ofinstruction, curriculum, testing, school organization, and the value of specific knowledge; Collaboration-Teachers become involved in team teaching and other collaborative effortsin program development, writing, and research; Egalitarianism- Teachers dispense with formalities and anyone who takes an interest in a department meeting can vote. The notionthat the quality of ideas is more important than the source; Practical application-Teachers ask themselves, How does what we are doing help students, teachers, and schools? Whatdid we do this week to help? As a campus, we desire to improve our school's culture, which means we must foster an atmosphere that helps teachers, students, and parents knowwhere they fit in and how they can work as a community to support teaching and learning. Creating a school culture requires instructional leaders to develop a shared vision that isclearly communicated to faculty and staff. Additionally, we must create a climate that encourages shared authority and responsibility if we are to build a positive school culture.For faculty and staff, an effort is being made to open communication by increasing the number of teacher-led committees that can be involved in the campus decision-makingprocess. There is a direct focus on creating Professional Learning Community Structured Committees for all content disciplines and other growth areas on our campus. TheInstructional Coach model will be used to empower capacity building with teachers and staff. It will also allow for embedded, relevant, sustainable, and ongoing professionaldevelopment-which will empower teachers to best serve the needs of all learners on our campus. The campus is also working to improve communication through use oftechnology. We will actively focus on using our campus and classroom websites to communicate important information to our families. The intentional, focused use of ouremail/list serve will also serve to communicate pertinent and time sensitive information to our families. There will be an active focus on increasing our parent involvement with allsub groups. Students and staff both will actively participate in our Positive Behavior Support Initiative. Our entire campus will collaborate with Region XIII to find ways torestructure our existing approach to campus and classroom management. Our focus will be on empowering students to make positive and appropriate choices. We will continuefocusing on a structure that does not focus on punitive measures, but rather move into an educational and personal responsibility approach to discipline management on ourcampus. We will continue to implement our social skills training. Peer mediation will still be utilized. Campus incentive programs will be implemented to help influence studentsto make better choices, until they begin to become intrinsically motivated. Clear, consistent, and succinct classroom and school rules will be established and enforced throughoutthe campus-by all staff. Campus staff will adopt an approach that all students belong to all staff and we will collectively manage all students. Parent communication will happenmore frequently and at the onset of concerns with our students. This year, we will implement our Tippit Titan Mascot and campus transformation. We will focus on working withour teachers, staff, and students to redefine what Tippit is all about…through the Mascot Transformation Process. The Tippit Titan Behavior Target Behaviors Matrix will beutilized to allow for a consistent and common behavior matrix to allow for predictability and consistency across the campus. In last year’s discipline data, it is noted that thenumber of infractions for serious and persistent misconduct decreased approximately 40%. We are very proud of this accomplishment. This will serve as a great platform tocontinue implementing the incredible PBIS strategies that were started last school year. This will also have a natural positive effect on our learning environments on our campusand thus our academic progress of all students will be positively affected.

As Tippit Middle School continues to strive for excellence, we will focus on creating a positive and healthy school environment where: Staff and students internalize andexemplify high expectations and professional standards in all their daily routines; It routinely and systematically shares and celebrates the contributions and achievements of staff,students, and the community of stakeholders; Leaders systematically seek and act on feedback on their performance and communicate the outcomes to staff and students; Staff andstudents are creative and innovative, working in a context where there is neither a blame culture nor a fear of failure. They have a problem-solving and ‘can-do’ approach to

challenges.Staff Quality, Recruitment, and Retention

Nothing gives a school purpose and energy like an enthusiastic and motivated staff. There are many ways to keep teachers motivated, enthusiastic and engaged. As a campus wewill focus on recognizing and celebrating teacher passion. We know that every teacher got in to their job because they were passionate about sharing their love of a subject andabout helping young people learn and develop in to wonderful adults. We will work to capitalize on this passion to charge or recharge our teachers. We will intentionally start withthe positives on our campus. We will work hard to make it a rule that we notice the wonderful things that are going on in our school. We will create a structure that will encourageour teachers and staff to collaborate. We will encourage teachers to work together. We will give our staff the time, space and resources to jointly plan lessons, observe each otherand offer supportive feedback. We will work to create an environment that will encourage everyone to share good ideas on staffroom walls, mailing lists and in online forums.We will work hard to scrutinize every new initiative incredibly carefully, because we realize that every minute spent on paperwork is one minute less spent on creating qualitylearning, assessing student work, and meeting students one-to-one. Every initiative has value, but we also realize that it is really important that we ensure our efforts ensure we aredelivering quality teaching and learning. We will consistently evaluate whether there is a way of achieving the same outcomes with a much lower impact on time. We will focuson being pro-actively receptive. We will actively focus on having an open-door policy. But more so, our administrative team will focus efforts to get out and about, engage, listen,offer help, and to sit down with staff and ask how they are doing. We will work hard to recognize the key stress times in order to best support our teachers, staff, and students. Wewill strive to avoid new initiatives and stresses during these times, and ensure that our administrative and leadership team can be seen and accessed to offer to lend a hand withlessons, planning, and duties during these times. Our campus leadership team will strive to offer as many opportunities for growth as we can within the school. We will givecredit. We will strive to never miss any opportunity to praise staff at our school and give them credit for the success of the school. We will praise them to parents, in newsletters, tothe media and to students. We will praise individuals quietly behind their backs, and praise them to their faces. We will facilitate an environment that cultivates relationshipsbetween teachers/staff and our administration. We will facilitate and environment that cultivates relationships between professional peers, students, and families. We will work toenhance our mentoring and coaching program for not only new teaching staff, but struggling staff members. Staff development will be revisited to establish what areas we need tofocus on. All staff will receive training on the STAAR assessment, as well as the new district adopted scope and sequence for each academic discipline. We will focus on campuscommunication and collaborative planning time. Teachers will be given time to train collaboratively. Tippit Middle School will adopt a trainer of trainer model to ensure thattraining resources are available and that we build capacity and sustainability within our professional development model. Tippit Middle School will be moving towards becominga Professional Learning Community. Book studies, group dialogues, and in-house professional developments-driven by teacher interest and data / student trends will assist inensuring that there is relevance to our campus needs. Through the implementation of our Instructional Coach Model and Professional Learning Community Structure, teachers willreceive embedded and relevant professional development and support to allow for sustainable adult learning to ensure adults are empowered to best serve the needs of students.Authentic use of staff / teacher evaluations will be used to identify growth areas for teachers to provide sustainable and relevant professional development. All staff hires will bedone through a committee process to ensure that procurement of new staff will be truly a positive addition to our campus. Staff accountability will be tied to the ProfessionalDevelopment Appraisal System and will allow for campus administration and instructional coaches to provide appropriate, relevant and timely support for staff/teachers. Staffgoal setting will be used to guide ongoing and sustainable teacher development.

Curriculum, Instruction, and AssessmentCurriculum (what we teach), instruction (how we teach) and assessment (how we know students are learning) are at the heart of Tippit Middle School. Classroom instruction isclosely aligned and works in concert with efforts of students being served by various campus programs such as the following programs: Special education/504, English LanguageLearners, G.T., Dyslexia, and 504, etc. to ensure students have the individual attention and the time they need to maximize their potential. Alignment of curriculum, instructionand assessment is crucial to success in improving instruction. By ensuring alignment, it encourages teachers to focus on high-order, integrated skills, to communicate goals andstandards, and to design avenues to help students achieve them. When curriculum, instruction and assessment are aligned, everyone (students, teachers, parents, administrators) hasa clear method for measuring progress. Aligning the curriculum with national and state standards precedes coordinating professional development, assessments related to thecurriculum, and well-focused instructional strategies. When determining instruction, it is more important to plan instructional outcomes (have an “END IN MIND” focus) thaninstructional activities. Planning processes focus on student performance and what students are supposed to gain/learn from the instructional activity. Planning instruction focuseson the knowledge, skills and conceptual understandings a student should gain. To facilitate the variety of learning styles students bring to the classroom, instructional activities andmaterials reflect learning opportunities for multiple styles. To ensure that curriculum and instruction drive assessment, assessment decisions follow and are dependent uponcurriculum development and instructional planning. Professional development opportunities for teachers will include the effective use of multiple assessment methods.Assessments provide diagnostic information about what students know, can do, and where they need additional assistance. Tippit follows the curriculum (scope and sequence) setby Georgetown ISD, in conjunction with the TEKS. There are regular benchmarks, including regularly given, locally-developed common assessments. Data drives instruction,and teachers are given information which allows them to individualize/differentiate to adequately serve the differing needs of learners at Tippit. There will be a school-wide focuson ELPS in all classrooms. All teachers will be SIOP/7 Steps to Language Enrichment/ELPS trained during the school year and held accountable to ensure that these instructional

strategies are being implemented in the classroom. The model of Content Leads serving as instructional coaches will allow for appropriate and timely teacher development. GISDcurriculum is linked to the TEKS as evidenced by the use of TE’s, district scope and sequence, and other district / campus resources. The process for monitoring, evaluating, andrenewing the curriculum to meet the unique needs of all students will rely heavily on data from formal and informal assessments, both formative and summative assessments.There will be a heavy focus on restructuring our intervention model to truly move towards an individualized, relevant, timely and intentional model of intervention-both in theclassroom and in small target intervention groups. Teachers will receive direct training on the RtI model and in-class interventions. Data disaggregation through the use ofQUINTILES to identify student, classroom, grade level, and campus trends to provide appropriate and timely interventions and professional development.

Family and Community InvolvementTippit has an active PTA, but the numbers of highly involved parents are relatively small. With the new election of our PTA board, the goal of parent involvement-specificallyfocusing on engaging parents beyond just a PTA meeting has been established. The campus administration will work in conjunction with the newly elected PTA board to exploreand create multiple opportunities for parent involvement. Tippit Middle School has begun a Parent Advisory and Student Advisory Committee that directly links to assistinganalyzing and offering viable suggestions towards campus improvement in all areas. The Title I family involvement has steadily increased under the leadership of Kari Navarra.Tippit holds a “Family Fun Night” every Spring, which involves the entire community. Tippit continues to try to meet the challenge of keeping families involved beyondelementary school. There will be at least 4 parent information nights to assist our families in building a collaborative partnership in the education of their children. The campusgoal is to create an opportunity for parents to become empowered to support their children’s academic journey. One of the goals of Tippit Middle School is to identify barriers thatare currently preventing parents from all sub groups from getting involved in a partnership with Tippit Middle School. All pertinent information will be made available in Spanishto ensure parents have adequate information in their native language. Tippit Middle School will continue to work collaboratively with community partnerships to increaseopportunities for success for all learners at Tippit (i.e., Southwestern University, Christ Lutheran Church, Sun City, FBC Georgetown, Campus Feeder Collaborative Cadre, RegionXIII, Local Chapter of Boys Scouts of America, Ervin Kinezic and Lead4Ward, etc.).

School OrganizationThe desire to achieve better outcomes for all children and youth; hope and optimism for a vision of what is possible for all children and youth; the realization that working togetheris essential in accomplishing the vision; the realization that systemic changes are essential to working together effectively; valuing each partner’s assets and contributions; and thefeeling that the efforts are producing results. The Tippit Middle School Leadership Team believes and embraces, when a broad range of stakeholders are motivated to worktogether toward a shared vision, they come up with more innovative and effective strategies to best serve our students. Collaboratives, which Tippit will define as formal workingpartnerships between schools, families, and various local organizations and community representatives is paramount to empowering all students to reach their personal maximumpotential. An optimal approach Tippit Middle School will embrace involves formally blending together resources of our campus—and exploring ways to link them with our feederpattern schools and our district resources—with local family and community resources. The intent is to sustain connections over time. The range of entities in a community are notlimited to agencies and organizations; they encompass individuals, businesses, community-based organizations, postsecondary institutions, religious and civic groups, programs atparks and libraries, and any other facilities that can be used for recreation, learning, enrichment, and support. Strong family-school-community connections are critical in ensuringwe meet the needs of all of our students. Tippit Middle School acknowledges that a comprehensive collaboration represents a promising intervention to address barriers tolearning, enhance healthy development, and strengthen families and neighborhoods. Building such collaboration requires stakeholder readiness and training/education, an unifiedand well communicated and collectively embraced vision, creative leadership, and new and multifaceted roles for professionals who work in schools and communities, as well asfor family and other community members who are willing to assume collaborative leadership opportunities. Family and community involvement in schools is linked strongly toimprovements in the academic achievement of students, better school attendance, and improved school programs and quality. Family and community involvement also isassociated with improved student behavior and school discipline. Tippit Middle School will work intentionally to recruit, train, and involve families as volunteers. We will takeadvantage of the time, experience, and resources of families and community members to enrich the learning opportunities for our students. With the enactment of the No ChildLeft Behind legislation, family and community partnerships with schools have become central. Supportive families and social support within communities contribute to students’success. When children feel valued they are more likely to develop healthy skills, avoid risky behaviors and remain in school. When parents are involved, students achieve more,regardless of socio-economic status, ethnic/racial background, or the parents’ education level. The more extensive the parent involvement, the higher the student achievement.Negative student behaviors, such as alcohol and substance abuse, violence, and antisocial behavior decrease as parent involvement increases. Tippit Middle School will workactively to: create a an environment in which parents feel valued and welcome, and that is culturally sensitive, including developing supportive mission and policy statements;outreach to encourage participation of parents who might have low-level literacy skills and/or from whom English is a second language; involve parents and other family membersin planning, curriculum and policy development, and decision making related to all facets of our school; disseminate information on school reforms, policies, disciplineprocedures, assessment tools, and school goals, and include parents in any related decision-making process; link parents to programs and resources within the community thatprovide support services to families, i.e., create an information and resource station on campus which will provide avenues for families to pursue support for training, resources,

and other services; collaborate with community agencies to provide family support services and adult learning opportunities; \meet with parents, accommodating the variedschedules of parents, language barriers, and the need for child care; encourage immediate contact between parents, teachers, Principals / Leadership Team/assistant Principals /Leadership Team, and other staff when concerns arise; communicate with parents regarding positive student behavior and achievement, not just regarding misbehavior or failure;use creative forms of communication with families that make optimal use of new communication technologies; encourage parents and students to volunteer and provide ampletraining on volunteer procedures and school protocol; ensure that parents who are unable to volunteer in the school building are given the options for helping other ways; enlistcommunity volunteers such as civic groups, service clubs, religious groups, seniors’ groups, and law enforcement; develop partnerships with local businesses and services groupsto advance student learning and assist schools and families; survey parents regarding their interests, talents and availability, then coordinate the parent resources with those thatexist within the school and among the faculty.

The implementation of the Professional Learning Community will be implemented with which the teachers in our school and our administrators continuously seek and sharelearning and then act on what we learn. A professional learning community (PLC) is more than a group of individuals meeting together to read a common book or discuss arelevant issue. According to Huffman and Hipp (2003), PLCs are a way of working; "a school's professional staff members who continuously seek to find answers through inquiryand act on their learning to improve student learning". The goal of these actions is to enhance the effectiveness as professionals so that students benefit. This arrangement has alsobeen termed communities of continuous inquiry and improvement. Having a common purpose is a fundamental component in constructing a vision of the school and just how thePLC will work together. The Professional Learning Community is a powerful staff development approach and an intentional, focused, and data driven strategy for schoolchange/restructure and improvement. A Campus Culture emerges from community. When people come together and work toward a common goal, a community is formed. AtTippit Middle School, that goal is learning. In Getting Started: Reculturing Schools to Become Professional Learning Communities, authors Eaker, DuFour, and Dufour,emphasize the need to replace teacher isolation with a sense of connectedness and purpose. In order to facilitate this process, teacher professional development and training inProfessional Learning Communities will focus on: ensuring our campus will have a clear sense of mission; that our campus will share a vision of the conditions they must create toachieve the mission; that all stakeholders work together in collaborative teams to determine the best practice to achieve the mission; that we organize into groups, headed up byteacher-leaders; that we focus on student learning as our KEY RESPONSIBILITY; everything that we do is goal- and results-oriented / DATA DRIVEN; that we collectively workto create a working environment to ensure teachers/staff collaborate with each other; that we collectively work to ensure all staff hold shared values and beliefs; that all staff willcommit themselves to continuous improvement; and that all staff consistently see themselves as life-long learners. Tippit Middle School will focus on ensuring that whenprofessional learning communities are meeting, the most noticeable shift would be from professional development activities that focused on how teachers teach to activities thatfocus on how students learn. Tippit Middle School is committed to ensuring Professional Learning Communities because we know the benefits of Professional LearningCommunities. Just some of the benefits we have already seen on our campus are: decreased teacher isolation; increased commitment to the mission; a cultivation of a working andlearning environment that fosters shared responsibility; a program approach that is actively creating a working and collaborative environment that creates more powerful learningfor adults, students and families; and a system that leads to a higher likelihood of fundamental, systemic change for our campus. Tippit Middle School understands that aprofessional learning community model is an ongoing process used to establish a school-wide culture that is based on a fundamental belief in building teacher leadership in schoolimprovement efforts. Through participation in PLCs, teachers enhance their leadership capacity as they work as members of ongoing, high-performing, collaborative teams thatfocus on improving student learning. Shared and collaborative leadership has a natural positive impact on student learning. Tippit Middle School will define PLC as a group ofindividuals who share a goal and work together to achieve the goal, assess their progress, make corrections, and hold themselves accountable for achieving their common goal.The key to utilizing the PLC model is that we have a group of teachers who are looking closely at their students’ learning outcomes and skill gaps and ?}guring out ways to worktogether to address the gaps and come back and see how the students did. Developing a strategic model or plan for implementation and later debriefing what actually happened inpractice with the intent to revise or continue the approach is crucial. Tippit Middle School will work intentionally in designing an intervention for addressing the student learningneeds – then assessing the results and then coming back and either trying something new or moving on. So, to document outcomes of the PLC we will look at data the teachersdevelop to assess the students’ learning of the particular focus areas and skills sets that they have attended to. With school improvement as the goal, DuFour (2004) suggested thatPLC formation requires the asking of a series of critical questions: What do we want each student to learn? How will we know when each student has learned it? How will werespond when a student experiences difficulty in learning? How will we respond when a student already knows it? These four questions will serve as the driving force as our PLCteams meet to collaboratively plan instruction for our students. The campus Principals / Leadership Team, administrative team, and instructional leadership team play a vital role inthis process as they support the beliefs and vision of the PLC, but also communicates these to all stakeholders. Time can be seen as the most challenging factor a school may facein the creation of PLCs. Just as middle level education researchers have argued for years (National Middle School Association, 2010), upholding the value of a PLC can best beshown by providing time to meet within the school day. Through the creating of the master schedule, content teams at each grade level have the same conference periods to allowfor common planning and collaboration time. Tippit Middle School firmly believes that examining other teachers' practice and pedagogical, assessment, or management behaviorsshould be a regular aspect of PLC work. This is not meant to be evaluative, but part of working together to make possible the act of changing practice with each other. Over time,

Page 27: Georgetown Independent School District Strategic Plan ... · 10/18/12 19 Tippit Key Areas of Focus for Growth for the 2012-2014 School Years: Building students’ background knowledge:

10/18/12 27

our goal is that teachers become comfortable sharing triumphs as well as difficulties and letdowns with the PLC team. This, in turn, will allow for true reciprocity and authenticcollaboration.

Improving student academic and behavior outcomes is about ensuring all students have access to the most effective and accurately implemented instructional and behavioralpractices and interventions possible. P.B.I.S. provides an operational framework for achieving these outcomes. One of the foremost advances in school-wide discipline is theemphasis on school-wide systems of support that include proactive strategies for defining, teaching, and supporting appropriate student behaviors to create positive schoolenvironments. Instead of using a piecemeal approach of individual behavioral management plans, a continuum of positive behavior support for all students within a school isimplemented in areas including the classroom and non-classroom settings (such as hallways, cafeterias, buses, and restrooms). Positive behavior support is an application of abehaviorally-based systems approach to enhance the capacity of schools, families, and communities to design 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), andtertiary (individual) systems of support that improve lifestyle results (personal, health, social, family, work, recreation) for all children and youth by making targeted behaviors lesseffective, efficient, and relevant, and desired behavior more functional. In the past, school-wide discipline has focused mainly on reacting to specific student misbehavior byimplementing punishment-based strategies including reprimands, loss of privileges, office referrals, suspensions, and expulsions. Research has shown that the implementation ofpunishment, especially when it is used inconsistently and in the absence of other positive strategies, is ineffective. Introducing, modeling, and reinforcing positive social behavioris an important step of a student's educational experience. Teaching behavioral expectations and rewarding students for following them is a much more positive approach thanwaiting for misbehavior to occur before responding. The purpose of school-wide PBIS is to establish a climate in which appropriate behavior is the norm. Our focus inimplementing the P.B.I.S. model will be: develop a continuum of scientifically based behavior and academic interventions and supports; use of data to make decisions and solveproblems; arrange the environment to prevent the development and occurrence of problem behavior; teach and encourage pro-social skills and behaviors; implement evidence-based behavioral practices with fidelity and accountability; and screen universally and monitor student performance & progress continuously. Tippit Middle School has alreadyseen that we have teaching and learning environments with the following behavior outcomes due to the onset and implementation of P.B.I.S.: less reactive, aversive, dangerous,and exclusionary, and more engaging, responsive, preventive, and productive; a program that will truly address classroom management and disciplinary issues (e.g., attendance,tardies, antisocial behavior), a program that can improve supports for students whose behaviors require more specialized assistance (e.g., emotional and behavioral disorders,mental health), and most importantly, empowers and allows our campus to maximize academic engagement and achievement for all students.

Mastery of core subjects and 21st century themes is essential to student success. Core subjects include English, reading or language arts, world languages, arts, mathematics,economics, science, geography, history, government and civics. In addition, schools must promote an understanding of academic content at much higher levels by weaving 21stcentury interdisciplinary themes into core subjects: Global Awareness; Financial, Economic, Business and Entrepreneurial Literacy; Civic Literacy; Health Literacy; andEnvironmental Literacy. Learning and innovation skills are what separate students who are prepared for increasingly complex life and work environments in today’s world andthose who are not. They include: Creativity and Innovation; Critical Thinking and Problem Solving; and Communication and Collaboration. Today, we live in a technology andmedia-driven environment, marked by access to an abundance of information, rapid changes in technology tools and the ability to collaborate and make individual contributions onan unprecedented scale. Effective citizens and workers must be able to exhibit a range of functional and critical thinking skills, such as: Information Literacy; Media Literacy; ICT(Information, Communications and Technology) Literacy. Today’s life and work environments require far more than thinking skills and content knowledge. The abilityto navigate the complex life and work environments in the globally competitive information age requires students to pay rigorous attention to developing adequate life and careerskills, such as: Flexibility and Adaptability; Initiative and Self-Direction; Social and Cross-Cultural Skills; Productivity and Accountability; and Leadership and Responsibility.All campus planning and preparation for teaching our students will keep this information and framework in mind in order to best serve our students. We will collectively work toensure students are being taught with a forethought of preparing students for their future, not our past.

TechnologyTechnology can and does help students develop all kinds of skills-- from the basic to the higher-order critical thinking ones. However, for technology to be successful, teachersneed to make informed choices relating to pedagogical approach, students’ needs, and learning objectives. Just as important as what technology is used for, is how learning can beenhanced through technology (Strommen and Lincoln, 1992, p. 473). Moreover, a teacher's philosophy of education and pedagogical understanding must play a vital role informing one's theoretical framework for technology integration. Tippit continues to work at integrating more technology. Tippit will implement the use of I-Station as part of ourintervention models, as well as other computer and web-based interventions. Students use mobile labs, and all teachers use technology in their teaching. We continue to advancethe number of promethean boards, clickers and other tools that teachers can use for instruction. The procurement of iPads, Mimio boards, and other technological resources will bea key focus in preparing our students for the 21st century. Integrating technology into classroom instruction means more than teaching basic computer skills and software programsin a separate computer class. Effective tech integration must happen across the curriculum in ways that research shows deepen and enhance the learning process. In particular, it

Page 28: Georgetown Independent School District Strategic Plan ... · 10/18/12 19 Tippit Key Areas of Focus for Growth for the 2012-2014 School Years: Building students’ background knowledge:

10/18/12 28

must support four key components of learning: active engagement, participation in groups, frequent interaction and feedback, and connection to real-world experts. These are thekey areas in preparing our students to acclimate into the 21st century societal requirements. Effective technology integration is achieved when the use of technology is routine andtransparent and when technology supports curricular goals. Technology also changes the way teachers teach, offering educators effective ways to reach different types of learnersand assess student understanding through multiple means. It also enhances the relationship between teacher and student. When technology is effectively integrated into subjectareas, teachers grow into roles of adviser, content expert, and coach. Technology helps make teaching and learning more meaningful, relevant and fun. In acknowledging this,Tippit Middle School is committed to finding innovative way to increase our use of technology in the classrooms and in all learning environments on our campus. During the2012-2014we will focus on innovative and increased use of technology – embedded into all learning environments and classrooms at the campus/district level through the use ofdevices/resources (i.e., iPads, Mimio Boards, Personal SMART devices, Campus / District technology resources) linked with community and home resources-to adequatelyempower students to successfully thrive in the 21st Century culture and society.
