School Culture and Climate

School Culture and Climate Summary

Enthusiasm and excitement are contagious, and that is something we try to provide every day for our students at JJHS. Although there have been several administrative changes over the last fewyears our teachers have responded well. We have made several personnel moves/ changes in order to foster better communication and a team emphasis. Our staff/ students have done a great job oftaking pride in our facilities and everyday routines. Although our expectations are high for our teachers and students many have welcomed the change or are adapting to it. Our incentive plans forteachers and students, coupled with teacher planning days have grown excitement and optimism in our school. Moving forward we would like to see a decrease in student referrals and we are workingto help provide better relationships between staff/ parents and with the Jefferson community members in order to provide better community service. We are expecting our fall and spring familynights to be a big success and display many of our student’s talents!

Staff Quality, Recruitment, and Retention

Staff Quality, Recruitment, and Retention Summary

If we continue to improve and proactively display our kids' successes, we will have a better opportunity to obtain higher quality applicants. If staff andstudents are excited about our school and embody the pride and ownership in our growth, it will speak volumes to our potential employees. There is a need tobe involved with local job fairs and student teaching programs. In order to retain quality employees we must grow in our efforts to support and provide awork place that is professional yet fun!

Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment

Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment Summary

A curriculum that meets the needs of our students and instructional delivery of that set curriculum. Upon arriving and doing many question and answersessions with teachers, administrators, and district personnel, the biggest need was for consistency and accountability to what we have in place; and, then,assessments to check for validity before making drastic changes to our core curriculum (TEKS Resource System). There is a need for an RTI program, aswell as a process and plan for working with students that struggle. Secondly, there is a need for common planning time established to enable teachers thevaluable time to prepare quality lessons for their students. Lastly, there is a need for an accelerated instruction program that addresses the need of our higherachieving students. Curriculum and Instruction cannot be discussed without the inclusion and contribution of a stable, safe school that fosters a positiveclimate. A solid discipline plan and the monitoring of that plan will work hand in hand with the quality of instruction teachers are able to provide.

Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment Strengths

Utilization of a primetime period- a tutorial time for students that are struggling in math and/or reading and a time for our higher achievers to conductPBL in our accelerated instruction class. (data driven)Teachers turn in a curriculum calendar w/ a scope and sequence of TEKS and when they will be taughtCBA’s will be given every 4-5 weeks and the data collected will guide warm up activities and the spiraling of TEK’s needing reviewBM will be conducted roughly a month before STAAR assessments and the data collected will be used narrow down our focus for review TEKsTeachers turn in weekly lesson plans kid friendly objective and closing questionWalk thru’ s and evals are conducted on teachersIncentive plan/ Recognition of students meeting criteria set each 9 weeksTeacher planning days each nine weeks

Family and Community Involvement

Family and Community Involvement Summary

JJHS has more than 70% Eco. Dis. students and serves one of the most impoverished counties in Texas. With that being known, there is a need for us to be relatable to our surroundings andcommunity. It is vital that we as a school utilize a variety of methods of communication to ensure our parents and community stay informed, including, but not limited to, utilization of phone calls,posting updated info to website periodically, quarterly newsletters, all calls, and positive articles thru various media, displaying and promoting students’ achievements and efforts through meet theteacher night, pep rallies, STAAR prep night, concerts, plays, etc… It is our goal to increase community relations through work with Collins Academy, local churches for community outreach programssuch as Young Men/ Women leadership forums. We will need to improve out SBDM meeting occurrences and the representation of differing business/ community members on it. We are working toimprove/ revamp our PTO/ PTA and the role they play in assisting our efforts as a school.

School Context and Organization

School Context and Organization Summary

Organization and organizational processes play a vital role in campus functionality. JJHS has a need to develop leadership teams and disseminateresponsibilities upon those teams. Planning and teaming meetings to collaborate on best practices for school operations will be addressed. Proper planningfor scheduling will create tutorial times in our schedule and teaming time for our teachers. In order to grow as a team each member must know andunderstand their role and what they can do to help their teammates out if need be. Duty schedules, pep rally schedules, early release schedules, etc… must becommunicated and effectively planned ahead. Activities that pertain to budget and travel must have a thorough process.

School Context and Organization Strengths

· Weekly communication of upcoming events (Bullpup Report)· Defined roles for campus personnel in order to assist colleagues when needed· School calendars and expectations are shared regularly· Staff meetings are held regularly for feedback, teamwork, and info sharing (PLC) Safety drill are conducted regularly

Technology

Technology Summary

There is at least one teacher computer in each classroom and each core subject teacher has an iPad for use in the classroom. Some rooms may have twocomputers and students are allowed to use those at times. The junior high campus also has three computer labs. One of the labs is used for Primetime(remedial programs), but the other two labs are open for teachers to sign up their classes to use for various projects. While several of the staff members havementioned that they feel comfortable about using it and may even feel that they are somewhat proficient, they are still lacking quite a bit in this area. Thestaff members have not been exposed enough to the uses of technology in the classroom and do not really grasp what all it can be used for. Most of thestudents are somewhat proficient in the area of technology; however, they do not get to use it enough and are not formally educated on using the technology.Only some students take classes that are geared in technology. They also need more exposure in order to really be proficient at technology usage. At thejunior high, the level of comfort is somewhat split down the middle. While some of the staff feels very comfortable using technology, others are stillsomewhat leery of its use in the classroom. There are others that are unsure of how to use it and worry about what to do with it in the classroom. Most all ofthem have asked for even more training on how to use it in the classroom.Thus, we have created a plan to help w/ technology use. Tech Tuesdays will beoffered twice a month during teacher conferences and lead by our instructional technologist.

Our staff also receives newsletters from the Instructional Technologist on tips for integrating technology into the classroom. Some of the teachers have alsoutilized the Instructional Technologist by meeting during their conference periods and may have even set up lessons for co-teaching or model teaching. Theteachers that have the carts have also been provided with Mimio training in October. Most of the teachers have used some sort of technology.

Technology Strengths

Addition of Andriod tablets to free up a computer lab for student useBegin the process of Tech Tuesdays4 of our resources for Primetime are computer based resourcesMore accountability of our website and video board at school

Technology Needs
