BALTIMORE COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS (Bear Creek Elementary ) (June 16, 2017

IntroductionThe purpose of this School Progress Plan (SPP, or the “plan”) document is to establish what the school will do to raise the academic achievement of all its students and to address the needs of students who are at-risk academically and/or currently underperforming. The plan identifies specific strategies in the areas of climate, mathematics, and reading that the school intends to implement in the coming year. The plan also specifies strategies, as applicable, that will be used to promote parent involvement and incorporate Title I components, as required by federal and state law.

School Performance Indicators and TargetsSection Purpose: BCPS is committed to the use of academic and school climate data to assess school performance and progress towards the attainment of the goals established in its 5-year strategic plan, Blueprint 2.0. Student progress in reading and mathematics for the elementary and middle school grades is measured by the Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) assessment. Similarly, progress in high school is measured by graduation requirements, such as results on the Maryland High School Assessments (HSA), as well as graduation and dropout rates, SAT participation and scores. Both MAP and HSA are aligned with the college and career-ready standards. Climate is measured by performance on certain indicators such as suspension, attendance, and stakeholder (i.e. student, parent, and staff/teacher) perception survey.

Each school is measured against its own goals and must work to strengthen academic growth and achievement for all students. Therefore, the plan begins with an assessment of the key academic and climate performance indicators noted below.  Schools will use actual data for 2016-2017 for these indicators to determine goals and targets for the 2017-2018 school year. The school’s performance relative to the targets should lead to conversations about any gaps in performance and potential causes. By identifying a root cause, schools can then establish goals that ensure that any gaps in performance can be eliminated in the future.

Identification of Priority Needs

Section Purpose: This section identifies the priority needs of the school, based on an analysis of the data and underlying causes. Priority needs are opportunities that the school has identified to close achievement gaps for targeted groups of students and to raise the academic bar for all students. If the root cause is properly identified and addressed through the implementation of appropriate strategies, the issues or gaps in student performance will be eliminated or mitigated in the future.

Schools: Use the ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS WORKSHEET to facilitate dialogue about possible root causes for the priority areas of climate, mathematics, and reading.

Priority Need Based on Data Root Cause

The greatest need for the priority area of climate is:in students’ sense of belonging and relationships with one another and adults.

Climate- Stakeholder and internal students’ surveys. Engage, establish and maintain healthy student to student and student to teacher relationships.

30% of all students grades 3-5 have some difficulty getting help from adults. 24% of all students grades 3-5

43% of all students feel disrespected once in awhile or most of the time by other students.

57% of all students are not confident or slightly confident they will remember what was learned.

37.5% are only slightly or NOT confident in challenging work.

The root cause of the performance issues or gaps in climate is:

School is not engaging and relevant for ALL students-particularly intermediate level and male students. Despite attendance incentives and interventions, attendance continues to fall. Student climate surveys- 23% of all students grades 3-5 feel they “don’t belong” or “just a little” Although primary students are generally satisfied with school, their attendance falls below intermediate grades (Pk, k, and 1)

Students do not feel excited to come to school- 32 students or 19% of all intermediate students claim they “never want to come to school.” And 69% of these 32 are males.

The greatest need for the priority area of mathematics is:Foundational skills. The root cause of the performance issues or gaps in mathematics is:All student groups are NOT mastering foundational skills because we are not effectively differentiating whole group to small group/individual needs and we are not maximizing all of the instructional resources including technology and time for individuals. Students are not consistently provided with visual tools and time to work with manipulatives to support, model or explain their reasoning and thinking.

BALTIMORE COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS (Bear Creek Elementary ) (June 16, 2017

The greatest need for the priority area of reading is:Foundational skills The root cause of the performance issues or gaps in reading is:Phonics instruction has not been explicit, and systematic and held to the allocated time. Explicit phonemic instruction, phonics and word study instruction have not been consistent and differentiated and application activities need to ensure that all activities are purposeful and rigorous to the students’ word study needs

Vision and Mission

Section Purpose: Having a shared vision and mission for a school is key to improving its effectiveness. A vision is a clear statement of the shared values of the school community. A mission statement is typically a more detailed description of the general purpose of and goals for the school. The vision and mission together create a powerful framework for monitoring how well a school is doing against its commitments to students and the community. The goals or objectives identified in this school progress plan for the next school year reflect the vision and mission of the school.

School Vision StatementEngaging students today, Leaders for tomorrow.

School Mission StatementWe believe it is imperative to create a caring, competent, quality student centered learning environment for every learner, every day. We commit to critically evaluate the results of our work through equity, focus and commitment, in order to build our capacity to grow globally competitive students and future leaders.

Goals, Strategic Initiatives, Key Actions, and Professional Learning Selections

Section Purpose: In this section, goals are determined based on the priority needs identified during data analysis and are aligned with the goals established in Blueprint 2.0. Goals are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Timely (SMART) and describe the objectives for improved student performance which can be monitored for progress and reported on a regular basis. The goals that are identified for this school progress plan will address the root cause of the issues or gaps in performance in the areas of climate, mathematics, and reading.

This section also captures the strategic initiatives, key actions, and professional learning that will be implemented in order to accomplish the goal. Specific strategic initiatives identify what the school intends to do instructionally to 1) improve performance for all students, based on best practice research and evidenced by the observable behaviors of teachers and staff and 2) meet the needs of historically underserved populations or low-performing subgroups of students. Key actions are the specific activities or tasks that must occur to ensure that the strategic initiatives are implemented. Key actions should consider activities that might need to involve parents, schedule changes, additional staffing, etc. The school must also sufficiently plan for professional learning that builds capacity in teachers and staff to accomplish the goals of the plan. The professional learning plan identifies high-quality professional learning activities that are ongoing and use data to support the effectiveness of the learning and its impact on student achievement.

Schools:Schools should reference the training and resources on the Office of Performance Management intranet site for examples and guidance on the development of goals, strategic initiatives, key actions, and professional learning.
