Of our 82 Special Education Students, 30 are in Speech Therapy, 6 are mainstreamed (monitored or coteach), 19 have resource (specialized support), and 27are self contained in our FLS and PAS units.

During the year our teachers received instruction from our SCEI Coach, administration, and from the District Instructional Specialists. During our SIT(School Improvement Team) Meetings we decided that we needed to focus on providing the highest quality instruction that would allow us to reduce ournumbers in Bilingual Education and Special Education via meeting Exit Criteria, and to increase our numbers in GT through better identification ofstudents.

Demographics Strengths

Our class size, for the most part, is low - averaging about 17 students per class in most grade levels. This allows for more small group and individualized differentiated instruction to happen in theclassrooms.


Campus #071909112June 22, 2020 11:15 am

Our enrollment has declined last year from 588 to 544, after having held steady for 3 years 570 to 590 range, preceded by a marked decline the previous two years..

Our student attendance rate grew this year by 0.25%. During the "Make it Count" campaign held during the spring Benito Martinez was ranked 2nd in the district for increased student attendance Atthe same time, our teacher attendance rate, which three years ago was one of the lowest in the district, showed marked increase for three years in a row.

This year our boys outperformed out girls it came to STAAR tests:

The boys led in 6

3rd Math3rd Reading4th Math5th Science5th Math5th Reading

The girls led in 2

4th Reaing4th Writing

It seems obvious that our boys were stronger in 3rd grade and 5th grade, with the girls ourperforming in the Reading and Writing tests in 4th grade.

As for TELPAS, we were able to exit 11 students out of the bilingual program this year.

Problem Statements Identifying Demographics Needs

Problem Statement 1: During the 2018/19 school year Benito Martinez has identified the need to provide consistent Professional Development on researchbased methodologies for implementing a comprehensive needs assessment. Root Cause: Not all teachers received the same level of ProfessionalDevelopment.

Problem Statement 2: For the 2018/19 our LEP scores dropped as a campus on each and every STAAR test (Math, Reading, Science, and Writing). RootCause: We need to ensure that all of our LEP students are receiving the best quality instruction (SIOP) that will allow them to be successful on theirexaminations and exit the bilingual program. We need to focus on additional opportunities (Super School (S.M.AR.T), Nothing New Wednesdays, ICU,tutoring, Saturday School, intersession, etc.) in order to help these students acquire the language and skills necessary to be successful.

Problem Statement 3: During the 2018/19 school year as a campus our Student Achievement Measure Score for our SPED students dropped in Math,Reading, and Writing. Root Cause: We need to implement a stronger PLC program that ensures that all students SPED students receive the timelyinterventions and enrichments that they need in order to grow and achieve at higher levels on their STAAR tests. This will be provided through our newSuper School program called S.M.AR.T. (Students Moving ARound Teachers) and Nothing New Wednesdays which will allow those targeted interventionsnot only during Co-Teach or Specialized Support time, but also during the time the SPED students are mainstreamed

Technology

Benito Martinez has more labs and more access to technology than any other SISD Elementary campus. We have 6 functioning computer labs and were ableto have each and every student on campus participate in Hour of Code on the same day. A feat nobody else in SISD can duplicate. But, as much as we haveinvested in technology on the campus we still have numerous "dinosaurs" (computers older than 10 years - Dell 520's and 740's) in many of our classroomsand labs. After a concerted effort we will be able to phase out these "dinosaurs" this school year. We will also be able to reach our goal to replace all of ourolder projectors with the new Interactive projectors.

Problem Statements Identifying Student Academic Achievement Needs

Problem Statement 1: For the 2018/19 school year Benito Martinez students scored 48.5% (Student Achievement Measure)on the reading portion of theSTAAR test compared to the SISD at 54.5% (Student Achievment Measure) Root Cause: NNot all teachers are using a comprehensive reading program -need to continue to focus on Literacy this year through the use of an incentive based reading program. We must also ensure that during our Super SchoolProgram (S.M.AR.T.) that students are receiving the needed Reading interventions necessary to help them to succeed. Edit Associated Areas

Problem Statement 2: or the 2018/19 school year Benito Martinez students scored 55.8% (Student Achievement Measure) on the math portion of theSTAAR test compared to the SISD at 59.1% (Student Achievement Measure) Root Cause: Not all teachers are using a comprehensive mathematicsprogram that leads students from the concrete, to the representative, and finally to the abstract. We must also ensure that during our Super School Program(S.M.AR.T.) that students are receiving the needed Mathematics interventions necessary to help them to succeed.

Problem Statement 3: For the 2018/19 school year Benito Martinez students scored 36.0% (Student Achievement Measure) on the writing portion of theSTAAR test compared to the SISD at 43.50% (Student Achievement Measure) Root Cause: Not all teachers are using a compehensive writing programand/or requiring student to write across the curriculum. We must also ensure that during our Super School Program (S.M.AR.T.) that students are receivingthe needed Writing interventions necessary to help them succeed.

Problem Statement 4: For the 2018/19 school year Benito Martinez students scored 51.5% (Student Achievement Measure) on the writing portion of theSTAAR test compared to the SISD at 52.8% (Student Achievement Measure) Root Cause: Not all previous grade levels are providing a high qualityscience program to ensure that our students have mastered K thru 4th grade Science TEKS by the time they get into 5th Grade. We must also ensure thatduring our Super School Program (S.M.AR.T.) that students are receiving the needed Science interventions necessary to help them to succeed.

Problem Statement 5: For the 2018/19 school year Benito Martinez will prioritize student academic interventions to include effective tutoring, RtIdocumentation, and the targeted interventions during our Super School Program (S.M.AR.T.).

School Processes & Programs

School Processes & Programs Summary

During the past year Benito Martinez was once again recognized by the TEA with multiple distinction designations to include Academic Achievement inMath, Academic Achievement in ELA/Reading, Academic Achievement in Science, Top 25 Percent Student Progress, Top 25 Percent Closing PerformanceGaps, and Postsecondary Readiness.

Our instructional program begins with our Leadership Team which is comprised of our Principal, Assistant Principal, SCEI Coach, Counselor, and CIS. OurLeadership Team met on Mondays to go over the calendar, discuss concerns, and worked to find ways to improve instruction and student success. OurPrincipal, Assistant Principal, and SCEI Coach met weekly (Wednesdays) for PLC meetings with every grade level. During these PLC meetings DistrictInstructional Officers presented PD to our teachers, data analysis and desegregation were performed, campus led PD was given, and teacher concerns wereaddressed. Every teacher gets a planning day each and every 9 weeks. These planning days are organized by grade level with the Special Education teacherin charge of that grade level participating in the planning sessions. STAAR testing grade level teams were given extra planning days post Benchmark testsin order to plan how to incorporate areas of need and concern into their upcoming lesson plans.

This past summer a team of teachers attended the PLC (Solution Tree) conference in St Charles, MO. This team of teachers will form our Guiding Coalitionas we move forward with a true PLC process.

Benito believes in the idea of a No-Zero-Zone and the all students must turn in all work. In order to facilitate that belief we fund the ICU Program from ourTitle I budget, which provides help in all core subject areas during lunch (called Lunch Bunch) and after school (called Encore). We will be focusing ourICU efforts this year to provide more help and support to as many grade levels as possible. We are also starting a Super School Program this year which weare calling S.M.AR.T. Time (Students Moving ARound Teachers) which will allow more time to teachers to analyze Commom Formative Assessment Dataand plan interventions and enrichment for students which will be provided during Nothing New Wednesdays.

Our Title I program allows us to provide to our Campus/Faculty/Staff Professional Development, technology, and Supplies used to support learning at allgrade levels and in all content areas, and 2 Temporary Instructional Aides.

Our Title I program also allows us to purchase needed supplies and instructional materials for our teachers in order to facilitate a more comprehensive andrigorous instructional program in all content areas

Our State Compensatory Education Program consists of a SCE-I Coach who provides support for teachers and At Risk students, and a 5th grade classroomsize reduction teacher. It also pays for Intersession tutoring/interventions, Summer School, and Robotics Camps.

Technology is a big part of everything we do at our campus. We have, over the past 5 years, purchased 20 Dell 3010's (i3 processors), 10 HP G2.5's (i5processors), 18 HP G3's (i5 processors), 26 Lenovo m73z's (i5 processors), 5 Lenovo m93z's (i7 processors), 62 Dell Wyse 3020 Zero Clients, 14 Dell all in

one Zero Clients, 20 Lenovo Yoga Laptops, 13 Dell Optiplex 3050's (i5 processors), 20 Dell 5010 Dual Core Thin Clients, 20 Dell 3040 thin clients, 5 DellInteractive Projectors, 18 Epson Brightlink Interactive Projectors, 1 Desktop Document Camera, and 48 Microsoft Surface Tablets. We currently have 6operational computer labs. It is our belief that our students learn best when exposed to technology and plan to continue to purchase more technology to keepBenito Martinez at the forefront of SISD when it comes to technology integration at the Elementary level. This year we will finally be able to phase out allof the old computers and classroom projectors on campus with the purchase of 10 desktops, 30 thin clients, and 7 interactive projectors.

Our SIT (School Improvement Team) meets monthly and consists of administration, teachers, staff, parents, and community business members.

This year we will continue to implement a very thorough Social and Emotional Learning program designed to build up student self esteem and efficacy,while at the same time decreasing bullying and inappropriate behaviors in the classroom, cafeteria, playground, and on social media. Activities will includeour Anti-Bullying Kickoff, SEL time during the school day, SEL Book of the Month, an SEL theme for the year, Service Projects, etc. This past year weincorporated PBIS into our SEL system and helped students to understand the different rules in different parts of the building and set up incentive plans tohelp them to comply with these requirements.

Problem Statements Identifying School Processes & Programs Needs

Problem Statement 1: For the 2018/19 school year Benito Martinez saw a slight decrease in discipline referrals and incidents of bullying, but not as muchof a decrease as was desired. These incidents reinforce the need for a continued strong and effective SEL program. Root Cause: Our SEL program will beBenito Martinez Elementary SchoolGenerated by Plan4Learning.com 14 of 61

in its third year, and our PBIS program in its second year, and time and attention must be given to ensure that Social and Emotional Learning remains apriority at our campus leading to better behaved and more respectful students.

Problem Statement 2: For the 2018/19 school year Benito Martinez did not show growth in Reading and Writing STAAR, and still lacks behind thedistrict average for these assessments. Root Cause: Other than the "BlueBonnet Reading Program" Benito Martinez does not provide incentives forstudents to read outside of class. A well organized and efficient Reading Incentive Program needs to be put into place to encourage out of the classroomreading. This last year we started with the MyON reading program and we will be focusing on the data from that system in order to create a readingincentive program. This past year we also acquired a "Little Free Library" which we will encourage our students to visit after school, in the evenings, and onweekends in order to stress the importance of reading.

Problem Statement 3: For the 2019/20 school year Benito Martinez will need to acquire new and additional technology to replace the older desktops,projectors, and hand held devices on campus. Root Cause: Numerous older computers (Dell 520's and 740's) still abound in our classrooms and two of ourcomputer labs - systemic upgrades for 4 years but can only replace so much each and every year. We will be able to accomplish this goal this year beremoving all old computers and projectors from the classrooms.

Perceptions

Perceptions Summary

Benito Martinez Elementary School strives to create a positive learning environment for all stake holders (Parents, Community Members, Businesses, etc.). In doing so we work hard to invite ourparents and community into our school on numerous occasions throughout the school year. We also utilize local businesses for parent nights which allow us to see our parents and scholars in adifferent light. Some of these activities include awards ceremonies, Christmas programs, Open Houses, Father/Daughter Dances, Father/Son Cookouts, Mother/Daughter Nights, and Mother/SonBreakfasts.

Benito Martinez Elementary School strives to create a postive learning environment for all stake holders (Students). Benito Martinez strives to create a fun, safe, and risk free environment in whichto learn and to grow. We have numerous reward and award systems in place for our students. Students who have perfect attendance Monday thru Thursday have free dress on Fridays. Three weeksof perfect attendance entitles them to a 3 week treat each 3 weeks of the year. Perfect attendance for the 9 weeks allows them free entrance to the end of the 9 weeks ATTENDance. Every monthiStation Red Cape scholars and their teachers are recognized by the Admin team and the students and their teachers wear an iStation red cape for the day. End of the year awards ceremonies areheld for each and every grade level including completion ceremonies for our Kinder and 5th grade scholars. For our 4th and 5th grade scholars we also have our Black Shirt STAAR Commandprogram to encourage our scholars to work hard and excel on the STAAR test. We also have the largest STAAR pep rally in the district (called STAAR Bazaar) in order to pump our students up andsend them into the testing environment relaxed, pumped up for success, and ready to tackle the test.

Benito Martinez Elementary School strives to create a positive learning environment for all stake holders (FACULTY AND STAFF). This past year strived to recognize and reward teachers, faculty, andstaff more that every before. Our Patriot Cafe served a complimentary continental breakfast to our Faculty and Staff every third Friday throughout the entire school year. Rewards were also given forperfect attendance, tweeting the appropriate SEL hashtag, etc.

The teachers also received a 9 Week Perfect Attendance Luncheon (catered) served in the Adminstration Conference Room. These attendance incentives did result in increased teacher attendancefor the school year. During Teacher Appreciation Week we fed the teachers each and every day culminating in a Cooked to Order Ribeye Luncheon with the Principal at the grill. We also hadnumerous catered luncheons throughout the school year and provided complimentary Coffee and Lemon Water each and every day of the school year.

We also strived very hard to provide our teachers with each and every resource that they needed in order to be successful as well as sent them to any and every PD opportunity they requested. Asan example, our 4th grade ELAR team consistently asked to attend all Alice 9 workshops that came to Region XIX, we always found the funds to send them to these PD sessions. All K-2 teachersreceived PD in Balanced Literacy numerous times during the year to assist them in increasing Literacy in their scholars. Any time a teacher came and asked for something to help further theirscholar's success in the classroom Admin found a way to secure the funds in order to make it happen.

Our Title I program is school wide and consists of Parent Involvement programs and activities. These activities include Parent Chaperones at dances and field trips, parenting classes, Coffee with thePrincipal (every 9 weeks), Parent/Child activities (Mother/Son Breakfast, Mother/Daughter Night, Father/Son Cookout, and Father/Daughter Dance), Literacy Nights, Math Night, etc.

During the 2018/19 School Year Socorro ISD did its annual Climate Survey. On the survey our parents rated us above district average on all 27 questions, above the elementary median on 16 of the27 questions. We were also in the first quartile on 7 of the 27 questions. Our lowest scoring question (Parents and teachers work together to educate my child) we were rate #20 out of 27 questions.We will be putting procedures in place in order to encourage our parents and teachers to work better together so that all our students have greater opportunities for success.

Student climate survey contained 25 questions. Of those 25 questions Benito scored above the average/median on only 10, and in the top quartile on only 3. On question #21 (Students at myschool are friendly) we were rated as the lowest in the district. To address these concerns we are working to improve our SEL program to encourage students to be more accepting of others and tocreate more friendships with people they do not know.

On the teacher climate survey there were 21 questions. Benito was below average on all 21 questions. The Administration and Leadership Team will be working hard this year to rebuild any trustthat has been lost between us and our faculty and staff.

We will hold officer elections at the beginning of the 19/20 school year and will be active participants in the school and community

During the 18/19 school year we had our very first student council. Students campaigned and were elected from 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students. We willhold a new election at the begining of the 19/20 school year and the elected council and the officer of the NEHS will meet regularly with the principal toshare ideas that will help move the school forward.

Problem Statements Identifying Perceptions Needs

Problem Statement 1: During the 2019/20 school year it was brought to our attention that with the ever changing curriculum that parents do not know howto help their child, especially in the areas of math and study skills Root Cause: Math has changed, it is not taught the same way it was taught when ourparents went to school (area models, manipulatives, etc), we need to hold more parent nights to help parents understand the new math strategies andeffective study skills they need to instill in their children to help their children achieve their potential.

Problem Statement 2: During the end of the 2017/18 and 2018/19 school year Benito Martinez implemented the National Elementary Honor Society andthen in the 2018/19 school year implemented a student council, in order to get more students involved and give them a say in what is happening at theirschool. Prior to this implementation students did not have a voice in the running and operation of the school. Root Cause: Prior to the implementation ofthese organizations nothing existed to allow student voice to be heard, this year we plan to continue with National Elementary Honor Society and Student


Campus #071909112June 22, 2020 11:15 am

Council to allow greater student voice in the running and operation of the school.

Problem Statement 3: During the 2018/19 school year we had fun events for Father/Daughter, Father/Son, Mother/Daughter, and Mother/Son, but did nothave any fun nights for the entire family. Root Cause: We in the past have neglected the need for fun nights that include the entire family. For the 2019/20school year we need to plan fun events for the whole family (ie Movie Nights, Game Nights, etc.) so that our parents and students have the opportunity tolearn and grow together within the school environment.
