Henry County Schools Continuous Improvement Planning Process

2018-19 Oakland Elementary

GUIDANCE:

This plan will guide your Continuous School Improvement work for the next year or more. The purpose of this document is to develop strategic goals & actions for school improvement based on targeted areas identified by longitudinal data analysis of four key data buckets: Perceptions, Student Learning, School Processes, and Demographics. The school leadership team, led by the principal, should complete this document. While Assistant Superintendents are working in conjunction with the Learning and Performance Services and Leadership Departments, your Assistant Superintendent is the best resource to help you complete this form. It is essential that your work include an alignment of the District Strategic Priorities to the fundamental work that will be accomplished at your school:

Unify Henry County around excellence in public education

Strengthen our core business of student learning

Ensure a high performing environment for all students GOALS and STRATEGIES: Start with the end in mind.

What needs are identified by your data (current and historical)?

What do you need to accomplish the learning outcomes you have identified?

Have you identified the root cause?

Goals should be achievement goals to increase student learning.

For example, a measurable achievement goal is there will be a 3% increase (based on your school’s specific data) in developing or proficient for all students in mathematics during the 2018 -19 school year.

All goals should be S.M.A.R.T. (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, time-bound). Each goal should have metrics associated with it.

Each achievement goal requires strategic actions to accomplish the goal. Focus these strategic actions around the professional development activities needed to support full implementation of the goal. Remember effective professional development includes four components: constructing knowledge, transferring knowledge into practice, to practice teaching, and to promote reflection. ALIGNMENT: Cohort 15, 16, 17 and 18 personalized learning schools’ CIP goals and strategies must align with those outlined through the school redesign process and articulated in the School Readiness Criteria (SRC) document. Title schools’ plans must align with Title goals and strategies outlined in the Title documents.

Monitoring Plan:

CSIP achievement goals are intended to improve student-learning outcomes. As such, student learning are data points to be monitored as part of the Plan, Do, Study, Act process. Monitoring of Achievement practices should focus on monitoring implementation in the classroom (e.g., walk-throughs, examining student work protocols), not just artifacts that suggest implementation might be occurring (e.g., lesson plans). A process for the monitoring of achievement practices should be developed/articulated (e.g., Focus walk-throughs conducted by Administrators, Leadership team, Department Chairs, Grade Level Chairs, and District Leadership Team members quarterly).

Feedback & Monitoring Loops:

To facilitate schools receiving feedback on their plans, we have developed the following timelines.

Draft #1- Due July 5th, 2018 – Assistant Superintendent will provide feedback not later than July 16th, 2018.

Final Draft of CSIP- Due July 27th- completed Final Draft is due to Assistant Superintendent, which should incorporate/address any concerns/feedback provided on Draft #1.

CSIP Share- Due Preplanning Week- schools are expected to have CSIPs finalized and shared with school staff during preplanning to contextualize the focus of your school’s work for the upcoming year.

Assistant Superintendents of Leadership Services are expected to schedule quarterly visits with schools to participate in the process schools are using to support and monitor implementation of the school’s goals (e.g., conducting walk-throughs, participating in data examination/analysis and needs analysis of next steps, participating in components of PD).

Monthly Performance Review (MPR)-This will occur monthly where each building leader will

meet with the Assistant Superintendents to report status of CSIP actions and 5 x 5 walk-thru results.

All schools with be required to conduct a MPR. The specific schedule for your school is dependent upon your CCPRI score (see your Assistant Superintendent for more details.)

NOTE: All MPR sessions will be held at your school. District Leadership Team from various departments will attend each session.

Section A: Where are we now as a school?

What Perceptions data did you use? What did the data tell you? We looked at Student Survey Reports and Personalized Learning Survey. The survey revealed that our students want more personalized and small group instruction from their teachers along with more hands on and less technology. Additionally, the students feel as if there are too many distractions from other students and this interferes with their learning. Students would like more tasks that are rigorous but also feel that they are in a safe learning environment at school.

What demographics data did you use? What did the data tell you? The demographic data we used was subgroups, SLDS, and GaDOE data. Our school is majority African American, two or more races, or Hispanic. We have over 80% free and reduced lunch count. We are also a transient school.

What student learning data did you use? What did the data tell you? Student learning data we used: GMAS, MAP, CFA’s, GKIDS, ACCESS, Personalized Learning Pilot Data, GRASP The majority (70-80%) of our students in third, fourth and fifth grade fell within the Beginning to Developing range on GMAS in Reading and Math. While, we did see a small increase in 3rd, 4th and 5th grade in math and 4th and 5th grade in Reading; we are still performing below the County and State expectations.

What internal processes & programs did you evaluate? What did this evaluation tell you? ESE Department, MTSS Processes, Instructional Practices of all classrooms. English Language Arts practices throughout the building needs improvement including professional learning, resources, programs used, and pedagogy to better understand the progressions and stages in teaching reading, writing, and grammar.

3. Needs Identification and Root Cause Analysis (All Schools must complete)

3.1 Strengths and Challenges based on Trends and Patterns Coherent Instructional System: Summarize the coherent instructional system trends and patterns observed by the team while completing this section of the report. What are the important trends and patterns that will support the identification of student, teacher, and leader needs? What are doing to address the various educational needs of your students?

Each grade level meet once a week for collaboration on lesson plans and data discussion. ILT’s meet with teachers for Standards Study and model classroom lessons. TKES and classroom walkthrough done as Administrative team. Open door policy with all to address concerns. Leadership team meets monthly to identify needs of students and teachers. CFA’s are conducted every 2 weeks with grade level teachers meeting with Administrators to review data to plan for further instructional focus. ILT’s attend monthly CES and ILT meetings. Professional Development meetings are each month at OKE based on the needs of the staff. Focus Team meetings (Reading, Math, Culture, MTSS, PBIS, DATA/Professional Learning), HEART monthly meetings, MTSS meetings for Tier 2 and 3 held on time. Students tested on MAP 3 times a year and within 2 weeks of coming to OKE. Intervention Tier 4 notebooks monitored every 9 weeks. We will add more vertical teaming between the different grade levels.

Effective Leadership System: Summarize the effective leadership system trends and patterns observed by the team while completing this section of the report. What are the important trends and patterns that will support the identification of student, teacher, and leader needs? What are you and the administrative team doing to ensure high quality instruction for all classes/students?

Administrators hire qualified teachers through job fairs and interview process. CCC Focus team helps to build climate and culture within the building. PBIS team helps with discipline. School counselors help make sure students and teachers have resources needed to support instruction and learning. Title 1 funds are allocated appropriately. Formal and Informative walkthroughs with feedback weekly. ILTS supporting the Administrators and teachers through building capacity and modeling instruction. Personalized learning Cohort 19. Coaching cycle with teachers that need more support. ILT Standards Study. Leadership team discussing any issues that arise during the month to address without school.

Professional Capacity System: Summarize the professional capacity system trends and patterns observed by the team while completing this section of the report. What are the important trends and patterns that will support the identification of student, teacher, and leader needs? Do your professional development practices align with the expectations of a PLC? How frequently will the PLC be monitored?

Based on GMAS data, more professional learning needs to be done in the teaching of reading and phonics. We do surveys after professional learning to address additional needs. Formal and Informal observations to identify needs of students and teachers. Bubble kids; grade level protocol sheets/data review; Personalized-learning training will need to continue to happen for the school as we move into our first year. Units of Writing professional learning; Technology and Personalized Learning practices are observed

Family and Community Engagement System: Summarize the family and community engagement system trends and patterns observed by the team while completing this section of the report. What are the important trends and patterns that will support the identification of student, teacher, and leader needs? What are you doing to involve the families in improving the academic achievement of the child?

Trends and patterns are identified through parent, teacher and student surveys. Certain Title 1 nights have higher attendance rates (Literacy, Science, Math, and Multicultural night) but other months have lower attendance. While we do Infinite Campus messenger, send brochures and flyers home several times to families throughout the month, we do not have high rates of attendance. Many teachers’ use Remind, Class Dojo or call parents. We also use our teacher and school websites that are updated monthly. All dates for meetings are available to parents through the Title 1 Compact at the beginning of the year. A monthly Title 1 calendar with school events is sent home as well. We hold Student Led Owl Conferences twice a year to update parents on academic and behavior performance. Students are celebrated with Student of the month, twice a year awards celebrations, and involved in Literacy Days.

In order to involve families in the students academic achievement, we send home progress reports and report cards every nine weeks and weekly academic folders are sent home by each grade level. Ideas for improvement: Many of our families work shift jobs, some do not drive and language barrier. Teachers need to be an advocate for these meetings in their classroom by offering free homework passes, owl bucks or ice cream passes. Theme nights seem to be popular. We need to be more diligent in getting dates out in advance; parents more involved in the night Video clips of most important pieces of the night; “Live” streaming meeting on Facebook. Translators are available but also make live feed translated. Weekly paper folders with all school information to be sent home weekly on the same day.

Supportive Learning Environment System: Summarize the supportive learning environment system trends and patterns observed by the team while completing this section of the report. What are the important trends and patterns that will support the identification of student, teacher, and leader needs? What are you doing to decrease the number of discipline referrals and attendance concerns?

The attendance concerns addressed with PANTS and monthly popcorn parties, PBIS, counselors hold attendance meetings with Social Worker with letters that go out. 4 STEP Discipline plan, Buddy Classroom teachers. Some teachers use Class Dojo to help with behavior. Positive phone calls done at the beginning of the year and throughout for positive improvements. Student of the month celebrations; Equity training Grade Level Expectations done by administrative team at the beginning of the year and in January. Mentorship program (70+ volunteers) who work with students throughout the year. Like to try: Robocalls when student misses, administrators talk to parents about 4 step to clarify major/minor behaviors

Demographic: Summarize the demographic trends and patterns observed by the team while completing this section of the report. What are the important trends and patterns that will support the identification of student, teacher, and leader needs? What is happening in the following areas (Subgroup data, mobility, remedial/early intervention/alternative/gifted)?

School did field trip around OKE communities to see the differences in our neighborhoods. Subgroup data: Below County and State means Mobility: Highest in Henry County; Try to support the student through school supplies and additional resources as needed for families Remedial/Early Intervention: 5 EIP teachers that oversee MTSS grade level and support interventions Alternative Gifted: Push-in TAG with accelerated standards ESOL: Push-in and Pull-out models ESE: 5 teachers with 3 paraprofessionals; Did see growth between GAMAS from year to year MTSS, Instructional Focus time, SIEP before and after school, Saturday School, Summer School

Financial: Summarize the financial trends and patterns observed by the team while completing this section of the report. What are the important trends and patterns that will support the identification of student, teacher, and leader needs? What is happening in terms of the financial status of the families?

We are the highest free and reduced rate in Henry County. The socioeconomic status is low to lower middle class with many nontraditional families where often there is only one income. The three women’s shelters feed into our school as well as hotels and apartment complexes. Local churches provides book bags with school supplies at the beginning of the year. We also have Backpack buddies (students receive a backpack with food for the weekend) and teachers visit Kids in Need to shop for free supplies for their classroom. Teachers have an allotment of $150 to use on classroom supplies as well. Administrators allow teachers to provide “wish-list” of items that they want (i.e. Reading A-Z, math manipulatives, literacy sets, etc.). A local company, Burlington, provided a donation of $10,000 for teachers to use to buy classroom supplies. Walmart provides some school supplies at the beginning of the year.

Student Achievement: Summarize the student achievement trends (milestones/student subgroups) and patterns observed by the team while completing this section of the report. What are the important trends and patterns that will support the identification of student, teacher, and leader needs?

70-80% are scoring at the Beginning and Developing on GMAS, All subgroups scoring below county and state medians. High number of MTSS and ESE students that need specialized instruction with interventions. Personalized Learning; Equity training

Section D: School Improvement Plan Required Questions 2018-19

(Title I Schools ONLY) Federal funding options is traditional funding (all Federal funds budgeted separately). Factors used by district to identify students in poverty: Free/Reduced meal applications.

1. In developing this plan, briefly describe how the school sought advice from individuals (teachers, staff, other school leaders, paraprofessionals, specialized instructional support personnel, parents, community partners, and other stakeholders) was sought and included. [Sec. 2103(b)(2)] (Was 4a)

Response: After a Data Analysis, the staff and parents of Oakland Elementary developed and completed a school-wide plan. Once the committee completes the draft plan, the draft will be available on Oakland’s website for parent and community input. The members of the planning committee will meet to consider parent and community input and finalize the draft. The finalized draft will be sent to Dr. Moore for review and submission to the board for its approval. The Title 1 plan and the School Impact will be discussed with all stakeholders at our first Title I Night in August. We will discuss the budget, the instructional practices, new school mission and goals, and our Title 1 staffing.

2. Describe how the school will ensure that low-income and minority children enrolled in the Title I school are not served at disproportionate rates by ineffective, out-of-field, or inexperienced teachers. [Sec. 1111(g)(1)(B)] (Was 4b)

needs of our community and ask questions of the candidate to help us determine whether or not they will meet the needs of our students and families. Our goal is to provide our school community with teachers who are well-rounded and are committed to providing rigorous and relevant instruction. All teachers working with identified Title I students at Oakland Elementary are certified in the content they teach and have passed the state assessment in that area.

Everyone at OKE will be part of a professional learning community designed for professional growth and support.

We have included a HEART teacher-mentoring program to help with teacher retention and establish a sense of community amongst teachers at OKES.

Each year, new teachers to our county are required to attend the Teacher Induction Program where they participate in professional learning about our county and its expectations.

We hold monthly Professional Learning Meetings.

Our ILT’s do walk-through for follow-up trainings from Professional Learning. Through professional development, we will ensure that our teachers are constantly learning more about delivering standards based instruction, as well as caring for the many needs of children who are part of a Title 1 school community.

Our school is involved in the Personalized Learning Cohort 19.

3. Provide a general description of the Title I instructional program being implemented at this Title I School. Specifically define the subject areas to be addressed and the instructional strategies/methodologies to be employed to address the identified needs of the most academically at-risk students in the school. Please include services to be provided for students living in local institutions for neglected or delinquent children (if applicable). [Sec.1114(b)(7)(ii)] (Was 4c)

Response: Our Math Instructional Lead Teacher, Science ILT, and Literacy ILT will be responsible for identifying and assisting teachers with implementing best instructional strategies. Common Formative Assessments will be given every two weeks in Reading and Math for 1st – 5th grades. 5th grade will complete Reading, Math and Science CFA’s for every two weeks. Instructional Strategies for ELA include phonics, guided reading, writing instruction, increasing Lexile levels, and personalized reading instruction. Oakland Elementary is part of the Kindergarten Phonics pilot for the County. Once that program is chosen by the District, we will purchase the same system for first and second grade students using Title 1 money. Math instructional strategies include Number Talks, GA Frameworks, Small Group Instructions and personalized instruction. Science Instructional Strategies include GSE Standards to do hands-on learning, phenomenon based teaching, connections to Next Generation Standards (specifically 3 Dimensional Learning Practices) and using reading strategies such as paraphrasing, summarizing, vocabulary instruction, and interactive reading guides. All three instructional coaches will also help teachers with discipline and increasing parent involvement. Instructional coaches will travel periodically to attend meetings and professional development sessions coordinated by the district office. FEV Tutor Computer Program will also be utilized for students in third – fifth grades for Reading and Math. This program provides One-to-One tutoring for students. Based on our budget this year, it will be limited to the number of students that we are able to serve.

Oakland has a Parent Involvement Person (PIP) that coordinates monthly Title I nights and increasing communication and involvement with parents. She creates agendas and brochures for the Title 1 Nights and helps set up equipment needed. She is available to all parents/guardians throughout the day, including being on the front hall to meet/greet with our parents each morning. She does have resources displayed to encourage parents to come to her PIP Resource Room. She helps with parent communication for office staff and Administrators. She sends out Robo Calls each month with reminders of Title 1 meetings and various other reminders. She ensures that the Title 1 Compact plan is updated and provided to all stakeholders. In addition, Title I tutors will work with students during the day in small groups in regular classrooms to strengthen ELA, Math, and Science. The Title 1 tutors serve students two or three days a week for 30-45 minutes for each segment each day. Our new Title 1 paraprofessionals will work with students in the regular classrooms to strengthen Science instruction. The Title 1 paraprofessionals will serve students five days a week for 30-45 minutes each segment. Administrators will monitor the implementation of this Title 1 School Improvement Plan and School Goals through observations and student data. Feedback will be provided to teachers to modify and adjust practices. To support Title I classroom instruction and tutoring, materials and supplies will be purchased to do projects with students. This will include markers, erasers, pens, pencils, paper, staples, tape, colored paper, chart paper, construction paper, cardstock, page protectors, paper clips, labels, envelopes, manipulative kits, folders, composition books, plastic bags, and batteries. Title 1 also provides interpreters for parent nights, MTSS, parent/teacher conferences, and Students Led Conferences. We have churches and local groups that help provide monetary donations so that we may purchase supplies for our students without school supplies.

4. List interventions (programs, strategies, activities, software, staff, etc.) you plan to purchase and use in your Title I school program to improve student achievement. Research your program and indicate the evidence-based level. Note that you should only list your strategies and programs that are being paid with your Title I funds.

Professional Development

Current Research Available that demonstrated rationale that suggests it may work:

https://ies.ed.gov/ncee/pubs/20134020/pdf/20134020.pd This brief is directed to researchers and adds to the research base about instructional practices that are related to student achievement. Additional evidence on these relationships can suggest specific hypotheses for the future study of such instructional practices, which, in turn, will provide research evidence that could inform professional development of teachers and the writing of instructional materials. The results of this study revealed a pattern of relationships largely consistent with earlier research, but not in every case. Results that are consistent with previous research include increased student achievement associated with teachers dedicating more time to whole-class instruction, suggesting specific practices in response to students’ work (1st grade only), using more representations of mathematical ideas, asking the class if it agrees with a student's answer, directing students to help one another understand mathematics, and differentiating curriculum for students above grade level (2nd grade only). Less consistent results were found in three 2nd-grade results, and include lower achievement associated with teachers’ higher frequency of eliciting multiple strategies and solutions; prompting a student to lead the class in a routine; and with students more frequently asking each other questions. These

Middle School Only: describe how the school will support, coordinate, and integrate services with middle school programs at the school level, including strategies for assisting middle school children in the transition from middle school to local high school programs.

Response: The following descriptions are what we follow each year: Transition from Pre-School to Elementary The feeder day care directors and pre-school teachers met with the kindergarten teachers to discuss the transition process and the curriculum gaps. Arrangements were made during these meetings for the various day care providers to visit our school. During these visits, daycare students visited kindergarten classrooms where they participated in classroom activities, met the kindergarten teachers and socialized with the kindergarten students. There are also times when our kindergarten teachers will visit the various daycare centers and give the students an overview of what it will be like to come to Oakland Elementary. We will also invite main feeder preschools to visit the school prior to enrolling students in kindergarten. Parents will also be invited to come in and tour the school before the start of kindergarten. In addition to these school-level efforts, Henry County holds a well-advertised Pre-kindergarten and Kindergarten Round-Up each spring for early student registration. Transition from Elementary to Middle School Our students feed into three different middle schools. The transition process is the same for all three middle schools. School counselors and extra-curricular teachers from the feeder middle schools visit our school and meet with the fifth grade students to discuss their transition to middle school and to help make the process smoother for the students. The teachers give a brief explanation as to what the middle school specials classes are and the process for choosing specials classes that meet a student’s interests. The counselor gives the students an overview of all academic subjects and what to expect with class changes. There is a question and answer session. A few weeks later, OKE students are transported to their assigned middle school to have a tour of the school and get an overview of what to expect when they get there. Students Entering Oakland Elementary During the School Year Students entering the school throughout the school year are given a tour of the school by our counselor, office staff, or the administration. New students are walked to their class by the counselor or office staff and introduced to their teacher and paired with a buddy in class. New students to Oakland are administered the MAP assessment. Students are also provided a DreamBox user name and password within the first 2 weeks. This ensures that teachers are working with the most current data to address the needs of each individual students.

The counselor, Title I paraprofessional, Kindergarten teachers, and 5th grade teachers assist with the transitions from Pre-K to Kindergarten and from 5th grade to Middle School. These programs are effective in providing both parents and students with the information and support they need to be successful at the next level.
