Why are we here today?
• School improvement should focus on 1) improving instruction and 2) increasing student achievement.
• Improving instruction leads to increased student achievement.
• School Improvement Plans (SIPs) should focus on improving instruction.
• Professional development should focus on improving instruction.
• All administrators and teachers need to know what effective instruction looks like, how to plan for it, how to deliver it, and how to assess it.
• SIP “Needs Assessment” data analysis, objectives, and action steps should be targeted in not only a manageable way, but also in a way to be monitorable.

School Improvement Plan (SIP) Development• School Improvement is an ongoing process engaging all
education stakeholders.• SIPs are fluid so changes and updates happen as needed.
– SIP template in “DRAFT” form and subject to minor changes.– The on-line system should open in July.– Currently, SIPs should be submitted via the on-line system no later
than September 11, 2009.– The on-line system reopens for revisions in November.– The web design team will include a “Date Last Updated” in the
‘print-view’ format.

Changes in 2009-2010 SIP Template
• Assists schools in defining strategies to improve instruction and increase student achievement.
• Consolidates many sections under the old SIP.• Includes Differentiated Accountability (DA) requirements.• Removes selected sections that were not required by
state or federal law.• Two new sections, Response to Instruction/Intervention
(RtI) and Florida’s Continuous Improvement Model (FCIM), replace previous “Schoolwide Improvement Model.”
• References to “Required for Title I” were removed. Completing the SIP template fulfills all state and federal requirements regarding SIPs for all schools.
• While some requirements may not be stand alone questions in the SIP, all requirements are embedded.
6Division of Public Schools (PreK -12) Florida Department of Education
Vision and Mission Statements
• Vision Statement– Indicates what the school is striving to achieve.
Statements should be brief and functional. Sample MNO Middle School Vision Statement:
MNO Middle School team joins the parents and community to assist all students regardless of
background in achieving success in middle school, high school, postsecondary options, and life
beyond.
• Mission Statement– Answers three key questions: What do we do? For whom do we
do it? What is the benefit? Statements should be brief and measurable.
Sample MNO Middle School Mission Statement: MNO Middle School prepares students with the academic skills, habits of mind, and
charactertraits necessary to perform on or above grade level in middle school and succeed in
rigoroushigh school courses.

• Student Demographics– Describe the community of students the school serves.
Include specific demographic background of students that contains race/ethnicity, ESE, ELL, and Free and Reduced Lunch Percentage.SIP Template Suggestion: While Section 504, migrant status, and gender are not included on the template, schools may want to refer to these groups if any are significant to the school’s demographics.
• Student Attendance Rates– Discuss the school’s attendance rate over the past three
years and the district’s average.
8Division of Public Schools (PreK -12) Florida Department of Education
Student Achievement Data
• Trend data will assist schools in analyzing, synthesizing, and hypothesizing student achievement data to improve instruction and increase student achievement.– School Grades Trend Data– AYP Trend Data– FCAT Trend Data
SIP Template Suggestion: There will be a link to each school’s achievement data in this section. Longitudinal School Grade, AYP, and FCAT trend data provided in the links will automatically appear at the end of the school’s SIP when the ‘print-view’ format is selected.

School Profile/Demographics
• Student Mobility– Discuss the mobility rate of students.
• Student Suspension Rates – Discuss the school’s in-school and out-of-school suspension
rate over the past three years. • Student Retention Rates
– Discuss the retention rate of students.• Class Size
– Discuss class size by grade level and subject area. Include ESE and ESOL classes.
• Academic Performance of Feeder Pattern– Describe the academic performance of schools in the feeder
pattern. Include school grades and AYP status.• Partnerships and Grants
– Indicate partnerships with local businesses or the community and grants that the school has received.
10Division of Public Schools (PreK -12) Florida Department of Education
Sample Academic Performance of Feeder Pattern
• Analyze academic performance feeder pattern data to identify trends in student achievement. • Anticipate the needs of incoming students and to plan Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 interventions.• Determine effectiveness of curriculum and instructional practices.
Sample Academic Feeder Pattern Data for Student Cohort from Grade 5 to Grade 9:
Sample MNO Middle School Academic Feeder Pattern Response: To identify trends in academic feeder pattern data, MNO Middle School disaggregated FCAT trend data for a cohort of students who attended ABC Elementary School, MNO Middle School, and XYZ High School from the end of fifth grade through the end of ninth grade. The majority of students who attend MNO Middle School attended ABC Elementary. In 2005, only 32% of this cohort of students coming from ABC Elementary met high standards on FCAT Reading upon exiting 5th grade. Two years later, in 2007, 53% of this cohort met expectations at the end of 7th grade including 65% making Reading gains and 60% of the lowest quartile making gains in Reading. Yet, the percent of these students meeting expectations and making learning gains decreased in 8th grade to percentages below previous 6th grade results, including an 18% and 12% decline in the percent of 8th grade student making learning gains in Reading and the percent of the bottom quartile making gains respectively. This decline in 8th grade suggests ineffective core curriculum and differentiated instruction in 8th grade Reading. Tier 1 core instruction with differentiation in the Reading block will be planned to reverse this pattern in 8th grade. Tier 2 interventions through after- school tutoring will also be planned for students who do not respond to Tier 1 interventions. In 2008, upon completion of 8th grade, the majority of MNO Middle School students matriculated into XYZ High School. One year later, in 2009, data indicates that 38% of the cohort from MNO Middle School enrolled in XYZ High School met expectations on the 9th grade Reading FCAT, signifying that the majority of MNO Middle School students are not adequately prepared to master 9th grade material and make expected learning gains. Vertical articulation between 7th, 8th, and 9th grade Reading teachers will be planned to address the continued decline in student performance from the end of 7th to the end of 9th grade on FCAT Reading.

Hispanic 4 4% 2% 4%
12Division of Public Schools (PreK -12) Florida Department of Education
Sample Student Suspension Rates Continued
• Determine if disproportionate suspension rates exist for specific disaggregated groups of students.
• Generate hypotheses regarding reasons for discipline issues (e.g., students lack basic social skills required to resolve conflicts, solve problems, or manage emotions; inconsistent application of discipline rules; inconsistent application of reinforcement for appropriate behavior).
• Consider intervention practices which are tied to validated hypotheses (e.g., implement schoolwide Positive Behavior Support (PBS) program). Sample MNO Middle School Student Suspension Rate Data:
*Indicates disproportionate suspension/discipline rates.
Group Pop. % % OOS % ISS % ODR
Male 51 78%* 65%* 55%*

Sample Student Mobility
• Analyze student mobility data to identify trends in student achievement.
Sample MNO Middle School Student Mobility Data:
• Determine relationship between mobility and AYP subgroups.• Develop hypotheses as to why high mobility negatively impacts
AYP subgroups (e.g., missed opportunities for review and practice).
• Plan intervention practices which are tied to validated hypotheses (e.g., increase opportunities for review and practice of grade-level material).

Percent of 2007 graduates who scored at level 3 or better on the 10th grade FCAT in Math: 77.2% 82.3% 79.1%
Percent of 2007 graduates who completed at least one level 3 high school math course: 42.0% 55.1% 46.9%
Percent of 2007 graduates who took the SAT and scored at or above college-level cut scores:
Math (SAT)............................ 58.9% 71.7% 69.9%
POST-GRADUATION INDICATORS SCHOOL DISTRICT STATE
Of the graduates enrolled in a Math course in Florida in Fall, the percent who successfully completed the course:
Remedial Math (non-college credit) ...................... 82.0% 55.3% 57.4%
Intermediate Algebra (for elective credit only) ...... 91.6% 80.3% 63.0%
Entry-level Math (for Math credit) .......................... 43.5% 67.9% 64.3%
Advanced Math ..................................................... 58.3% 61.6% 59.4%Sample XYZ High School Postsecondary Transition Response: XYZ High School is committed to improving mathematics readiness in the following pre- and post-graduation indicators: 1) percent of graduates completing at least one Level 3 high school math course, 2) percent of graduates taking the SAT and scoring above college-level cut scores, and 3) percent of graduates successfully completing a college Entry-level or Advanced Math course for credit. The percent of 2007 graduates who took the SAT and scored at or above college-level cut scores was at least 10% lower than district and state averages with 58.9% of the school compared with 71.7% of the district and 69.9% of the state graduates. Although 77.2% scored at Level 3 or better on the 10th grade FCAT, only 42% completed at least one Level 3 high school math course. While, 82.0% and 91.6% of graduates enrolled in a fall college math course successfully completed a Remedial Math or Intermediate Algebra college course respectively, only 43.5% and 58.3% successfully completed an Entry-level or Advanced college course respectively. Given these data points, guidance counselors will hold spring postsecondary planning meetings with students and parents to strongly encourage sophomores to enroll in a Level 3 high school math course and juniors to enroll in a Dual Enrollment (DE) or Advanced Placement (AP) math course. In turn, the mathematics department will ensure an appropriate and consistent level of rigor is evident in Level 3 high school math courses to increase mathematics readiness for successful completion of DE and AP courses.
