School Improvement Plan Farmington High School

Introduction

Every school has its own story to tell The context in which teaching and learning takes place influences the processes and procedures by

which the school makes decisions around curriculum instruction and assessment The context also impacts the way a school stays faithful

to its vision Many factors contribute to the overall narrative such as an identification of stakeholders a description of stakeholder

engagement the trends and issues affecting the school and the kinds of programs and services that a school implements to support student

learning

The purpose of the Executive Summary (ES) is to provide a school with an opportunity to describe in narrative form the strengths and

challenges it encounters By doing so the public and members of the school community will have a more complete picture of how the school

perceives itself and the process of self-reflection for continuous improvement This summary is structured for the school to reflect on how it

provides teaching and learning on a day to day basis

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School

Introduction

The School Data Analysis (SDA) is a diagnostic tool intended to facilitate rich and deep collaborative discussions among staff members

about school data The SDA can serve as a guide to determine a schoolrsquos strengths and challenges as well as directions for improvement

based on an analysis of data and responses to a series of data - related questions in content areas This data collection and analysis process

should include the identification of achievement gaps as well as reflections on possible causes for these gaps This diagnostic represents the

various types of data that should be continuously collected reviewed analyzed and evaluated Completion of the SDA is one piece of a

schoolrsquos comprehensive needs assessment process

Demographic Data

Demographic data is data that provides descriptive information about the school community Examples may include enrollment attendance

grade levels raceethnicity gender students with disabilities English learners socio-economic status graduation rate

suspensionsexpulsions etc

Student Demographic Data

1 In looking at the three year trend in student enrollment data what challenges have been identified

Farmington High School as a part of the Farmington Public Schools is seeing declining enrollment across the system This declining

enrollment trend is due to many factors facing southeastern Michigan Specifically we are losing staff members and not able to offer the

same variety of courses as have been historically available This is also causing building use studies to take place and we may have to look

at closing schools which has an impact on all parts of the community

Student Demographic Data

2 In looking at the three year trend in student attendance data what challenges have been identified

Overall our student attendance rates for students in quite good However there are a handful of students who face challenges with their

attendance We utilize many avenues to address address attendance issues including county truancy officer support in severe situations

Overall our biggest challenges are first hour attendance and tardiness to school

Student Demographic Data

3 In looking at the three year trend in student behavior data (discipline referrals suspensions and expulsions) what challenges

have been identified

We have seen a steep decline in total number of student suspensions We have been focusing on changing practices to offer alternatives to

suspension whenever possibleWe have also may attempts to eliminate progressive discipline policies We have also seen a decline in total

number of discipline referrals and expulsions The challenges that remain are to continue this work and also to examine more ways to be

proactive in supporting students so they do not need disciplinary consequences at all

Student Demographic Data

4 What action(s) could be taken to address any identified challenges with student demographic data

We need to continue to build positive relationships with students and families to help curb the declining enrollment issuesWe also want to

continue examining ways to keep suspension numbers down and kids in school so

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

5 As you review the number of years of teaching and administrative experience of the school leader(s) in your building what

impact might this have on student achievement

SY 2015-2016 Page 13 copy 2015 Advance Education Inc All rights reserved unless otherwise granted by written agreement

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School

We have a seasoned staff both in teaching and administration This experience offers much insight into the challenges we face as a school

and the potential solutions that exist The more experienced the staff the higher achievement is likely to be Teachers are confident in the

content they teach and have established routines to rely upon However it is important to note that practices need to be continually

examined and past practices are not always the best practices Our staff strikes a nice balance between reliance on time-tested practices

and being open to new approaches

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

6 As you review the number of years of teaching experience of teachers in your building what impact might this have on student

achievement

Our teachers have been teaching on average more than 10 years This experience allows for a solid foundation on which our school is

built This experienced staff offers students lots of support and they have proven track record of supporting students and facilitating high

levels of student achievement

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

7 As you review the total number of days for school leader absences and note how many were due to professional learning and or

due to illness what impact might this have on student achievement

Our school leaders are not absent very often Occasionally an absence occurs but it is sporadic and only consists of a day here or there

The school leaders do attend a number of meetings and PD sessions but it does not have a negative impact on student achievement In

fact attending these meetings helps the leaders to define the scope of the work for FHS and sets the standards for district expectations

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

8 As you review the total number of days for teacher absences due to professional learning andor illness what impact might this

have on student achievement

Overall teacher attendance is good We do not experience high levels of teacher absenteeism day to day There are occasions where we

have a lot of teachers out and this can be a challenge When substitutes are in the classes learning is slowed It is difficult to replace a

regular classroom teacher When this happens it is short-lived and this is not an overarching problem for us at FHS

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

9 What actions might be taken to address any identified challenges regarding teacherschool leader demographics

We need to continue keeping FHS a place where students and staff want to be This way absenteeism is not a large negative factor We

can continue to monitor and revise our attendance expectations for students to find effective ways to help students attend school all day on a

regular basis

Process Data

Process data is information about the practices and procedures schools use to plan deliver and monitor curriculum instruction and

assessment

10 In reviewing the results of the School Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment what

strandsstandardsindicators stand out as strengths

We were rated highest in the following categories

-Purpose and direction

-Governance and Leadership

Within those categories were rated a level 3 on the schools leadership being committed to a culture of shared values and beliefs and the

schools leadership implementing a continuous improvement process that provides a clear direction for improving conditions that support

student learning We were also rated a level 3 having a governing body that establishes polices and supports practices that ensure effective

administration of the school and operates responsibly and functions effectively Additionally a level 3 was given for leadership and staff

members who foster a culture consistent with the schools purpose and direction and for having an evaluation system that results in improved

professional practice and student success

11 In reviewing the results of the School Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment what

strandsstandardsindicators stand out as challenges

The area where we were rated lowest was using results for continuous improvement In this areas several level 2 ratings were given in the

following areas

-the schools maintaining a clearly defined and comprehensive student assessment system

-professional and support staff continuously collect analyze and apply learning from a range of data sources including comparison and

trend data and students learning instruction program evaluation and organizational conditions

-professional and support staff are trained in the evaluation interpretation and use of data

-The school engages in a continuous process to determine verifiable improvement in student learning including readiness for learning

including readiness for and success at the next level

12 How might these challenges impact student achievement

It is clear we have created a culture and system that support students and staff to put achievement at the forefront of what we do Now we

need to get better at using data to inform and enhance our instruction in a planned and purposeful way The environment is right for change

and growth now we need to ensure we are deliberating implementing the right things to cause change to occur

SY 2015-2016 Page 15 copy 2015 Advance Education Inc All rights reserved unless otherwise granted by written agreement

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School

13 What actions could be taken and incorporated into the School Improvement Plan to address these challenges from the School

Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment

One important action step that can be taken is to place greater focus on the use of data to inform our instruction in a purposeful way We

have the right structures in place to support this work This is really the next natural step in our path to continuous improvement

14How do you ensure that students with disabilities have access to the full array of intervention programs available ie Title I Title

III Section 31a IDEA credit recovery extended learning opportunities

Students with disabilities have access to all of our classes at FHS Students individualized plans (504 Plans or IEPs) are monitored regularly

with administrator oversight to ensure plans are being followed and implemented and that students goals are being met This includes

ensuring that all students have access to our full array of intervention programs

15 Describe the Extended Learning Opportunities that are available for students and in what grades they are available

The idea of an extended learning opportunity is general and includes may things available to students at FHS We offer after school tutoring

3 days a week with teachers there to support students along with peer tutors We also offer additional help in classrooms with content area

teachers and their students This is done before or after school or during lunch We offer a full array of extra-curricular and co-curricular

activities as well as a full compliment of athletic opportunities These and more are available to students of all grades (9-12) at FHS We

consider all of these opportunities to be extended learning opportunities for students

16 What is the process for identifying students for Extended Learning Opportunities and how are parents notified of these

opportunities

Many of the opportunities listed previously are optional for students and we notify parents of this information via listserv emails our weekly

newsletter and our schools website This is also done through teacher-to-parent communication In the case of after-school tutoring or extra

help in classrooms teachers contact parents by phone or email about expectations and opportunities We also use a General Education

Support Team who meets regularly to identify struggling students and offers to provide support to these students through these various

opportunities

17 What evidence do you have to indicate the extent to which the state content standards are being implemented with fidelity ie

horizontal and vertical alignment in all content courses and grade levels

Our district curriculum has begun a review process in the last year in part due to our change from trimesters to semesters Course content

was reviewed and compared to the appropriate standards Changes were made according to the review and now through the growth and

evaluation model administrators and teacher leaders will ensure that this revised curriculum will be implemented as expected in each of our

classrooms

28a Summary

Briefly summarize the strengths and challenges identified in the four kinds of data-demographic process achievementoutcomes

and perception

An analysis of the data is an important part of any organization that is reflective in nature Using a multi-tiered approach to reviewing the

data is key to understand the larger scope of the organization and how it is perceived

We have many things to celebrate that the data tells us we are doing well particularly in the area of leadership school culture and safety

These are positive things to be doing well at and are key to creating an overall environment that support students and staff to grow and

achieve

While there are many positive aspects of our school we still have work to do done and areas to growimproveThis will continue to be the

focus of our SIP and our day to day work Finally it is important to note that even with these areas to improve we do have systems in place

that will help us do this It will simply require a greater focus in these areas

28b Summary

How might the challenges identified in the demographic process and perception data impact student achievement

Whenever you are aware of a challenge it provides an opportunity to grow and improve When we are able to improve these areas then

students will see the results This includes a greater focus on our short-comings that in the end will help students

28c Summary

How will these challenges be addressed in the School Improvement Plans Goals Measurable Objectives Strategies and Activities

for the upcoming year For Priority Schools which of these high need areas will inform the Big Ideas and the ReformRedesign

Plan

In reference to our achievement data FHS will continue our SIP goals focused on improving students reading writing and math skills

These key literacy skills are areas where we need to keep our focus to see greater improvement and growth in our standardized testing data

The other data indicates a need to keep focused on the affective components of our school This means that we will continue our

affectivebehavioral goal around PEAK our positive behavior intervention program The continued focus on both the academic and

affective components of schools data will allow our SIP to reflect where we are as a school and where we are headed

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School

Introduction

Every school has its own story to tell The context in which teaching and learning takes place influences the processes and procedures by

which the school makes decisions around curriculum instruction and assessment The context also impacts the way a school stays faithful

to its vision Many factors contribute to the overall narrative such as an identification of stakeholders a description of stakeholder

engagement the trends and issues affecting the school and the kinds of programs and services that a school implements to support student

learning

The purpose of the Executive Summary (ES) is to provide a school with an opportunity to describe in narrative form the strengths and

challenges it encounters By doing so the public and members of the school community will have a more complete picture of how the school

perceives itself and the process of self-reflection for continuous improvement This summary is structured for the school to reflect on how it

provides teaching and learning on a day to day basis

Demographic Data

Demographic data is data that provides descriptive information about the school community Examples may include enrollment attendance

grade levels raceethnicity gender students with disabilities English learners socio-economic status graduation rate

suspensionsexpulsions etc

Student Demographic Data

1 In looking at the three year trend in student enrollment data what challenges have been identified

Farmington High School as a part of the Farmington Public Schools is seeing declining enrollment across the system This declining

enrollment trend is due to many factors facing southeastern Michigan Specifically we are losing staff members and not able to offer the

same variety of courses as have been historically available This is also causing building use studies to take place and we may have to look

at closing schools which has an impact on all parts of the community

Student Demographic Data

2 In looking at the three year trend in student attendance data what challenges have been identified

Overall our student attendance rates for students in quite good However there are a handful of students who face challenges with their

attendance We utilize many avenues to address address attendance issues including county truancy officer support in severe situations

Overall our biggest challenges are first hour attendance and tardiness to school

Student Demographic Data

3 In looking at the three year trend in student behavior data (discipline referrals suspensions and expulsions) what challenges

have been identified

We have seen a steep decline in total number of student suspensions We have been focusing on changing practices to offer alternatives to

suspension whenever possibleWe have also may attempts to eliminate progressive discipline policies We have also seen a decline in total

number of discipline referrals and expulsions The challenges that remain are to continue this work and also to examine more ways to be

proactive in supporting students so they do not need disciplinary consequences at all

Student Demographic Data

4 What action(s) could be taken to address any identified challenges with student demographic data

We need to continue to build positive relationships with students and families to help curb the declining enrollment issuesWe also want to

continue examining ways to keep suspension numbers down and kids in school so

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

5 As you review the number of years of teaching and administrative experience of the school leader(s) in your building what

impact might this have on student achievement

SY 2015-2016 Page 13 copy 2015 Advance Education Inc All rights reserved unless otherwise granted by written agreement

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School

We have a seasoned staff both in teaching and administration This experience offers much insight into the challenges we face as a school

and the potential solutions that exist The more experienced the staff the higher achievement is likely to be Teachers are confident in the

content they teach and have established routines to rely upon However it is important to note that practices need to be continually

examined and past practices are not always the best practices Our staff strikes a nice balance between reliance on time-tested practices

and being open to new approaches

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

6 As you review the number of years of teaching experience of teachers in your building what impact might this have on student

achievement

Our teachers have been teaching on average more than 10 years This experience allows for a solid foundation on which our school is

built This experienced staff offers students lots of support and they have proven track record of supporting students and facilitating high

levels of student achievement

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

7 As you review the total number of days for school leader absences and note how many were due to professional learning and or

due to illness what impact might this have on student achievement

Our school leaders are not absent very often Occasionally an absence occurs but it is sporadic and only consists of a day here or there

The school leaders do attend a number of meetings and PD sessions but it does not have a negative impact on student achievement In

fact attending these meetings helps the leaders to define the scope of the work for FHS and sets the standards for district expectations

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

8 As you review the total number of days for teacher absences due to professional learning andor illness what impact might this

have on student achievement

Overall teacher attendance is good We do not experience high levels of teacher absenteeism day to day There are occasions where we

have a lot of teachers out and this can be a challenge When substitutes are in the classes learning is slowed It is difficult to replace a

regular classroom teacher When this happens it is short-lived and this is not an overarching problem for us at FHS

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

9 What actions might be taken to address any identified challenges regarding teacherschool leader demographics

We need to continue keeping FHS a place where students and staff want to be This way absenteeism is not a large negative factor We

can continue to monitor and revise our attendance expectations for students to find effective ways to help students attend school all day on a

regular basis

Process Data

Process data is information about the practices and procedures schools use to plan deliver and monitor curriculum instruction and

assessment

10 In reviewing the results of the School Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment what

strandsstandardsindicators stand out as strengths

We were rated highest in the following categories

-Purpose and direction

-Governance and Leadership

Within those categories were rated a level 3 on the schools leadership being committed to a culture of shared values and beliefs and the

schools leadership implementing a continuous improvement process that provides a clear direction for improving conditions that support

student learning We were also rated a level 3 having a governing body that establishes polices and supports practices that ensure effective

administration of the school and operates responsibly and functions effectively Additionally a level 3 was given for leadership and staff

members who foster a culture consistent with the schools purpose and direction and for having an evaluation system that results in improved

professional practice and student success

11 In reviewing the results of the School Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment what

strandsstandardsindicators stand out as challenges

The area where we were rated lowest was using results for continuous improvement In this areas several level 2 ratings were given in the

following areas

-the schools maintaining a clearly defined and comprehensive student assessment system

-professional and support staff continuously collect analyze and apply learning from a range of data sources including comparison and

trend data and students learning instruction program evaluation and organizational conditions

-professional and support staff are trained in the evaluation interpretation and use of data

-The school engages in a continuous process to determine verifiable improvement in student learning including readiness for learning

including readiness for and success at the next level

12 How might these challenges impact student achievement

It is clear we have created a culture and system that support students and staff to put achievement at the forefront of what we do Now we

need to get better at using data to inform and enhance our instruction in a planned and purposeful way The environment is right for change

and growth now we need to ensure we are deliberating implementing the right things to cause change to occur

SY 2015-2016 Page 15 copy 2015 Advance Education Inc All rights reserved unless otherwise granted by written agreement

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School

13 What actions could be taken and incorporated into the School Improvement Plan to address these challenges from the School

Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment

One important action step that can be taken is to place greater focus on the use of data to inform our instruction in a purposeful way We

have the right structures in place to support this work This is really the next natural step in our path to continuous improvement

14How do you ensure that students with disabilities have access to the full array of intervention programs available ie Title I Title

III Section 31a IDEA credit recovery extended learning opportunities

Students with disabilities have access to all of our classes at FHS Students individualized plans (504 Plans or IEPs) are monitored regularly

with administrator oversight to ensure plans are being followed and implemented and that students goals are being met This includes

ensuring that all students have access to our full array of intervention programs

15 Describe the Extended Learning Opportunities that are available for students and in what grades they are available

The idea of an extended learning opportunity is general and includes may things available to students at FHS We offer after school tutoring

3 days a week with teachers there to support students along with peer tutors We also offer additional help in classrooms with content area

teachers and their students This is done before or after school or during lunch We offer a full array of extra-curricular and co-curricular

activities as well as a full compliment of athletic opportunities These and more are available to students of all grades (9-12) at FHS We

consider all of these opportunities to be extended learning opportunities for students

16 What is the process for identifying students for Extended Learning Opportunities and how are parents notified of these

opportunities

Many of the opportunities listed previously are optional for students and we notify parents of this information via listserv emails our weekly

newsletter and our schools website This is also done through teacher-to-parent communication In the case of after-school tutoring or extra

help in classrooms teachers contact parents by phone or email about expectations and opportunities We also use a General Education

Support Team who meets regularly to identify struggling students and offers to provide support to these students through these various

opportunities

17 What evidence do you have to indicate the extent to which the state content standards are being implemented with fidelity ie

horizontal and vertical alignment in all content courses and grade levels

Our district curriculum has begun a review process in the last year in part due to our change from trimesters to semesters Course content

was reviewed and compared to the appropriate standards Changes were made according to the review and now through the growth and

evaluation model administrators and teacher leaders will ensure that this revised curriculum will be implemented as expected in each of our

classrooms

19a Reading- Strengths

Historically FHS has done well in the area of English on the ACT Specifically FHS ACT College Readiness trend data has indicated we are

above state levels in reading and English and have made steady gains over the past several years

19b Reading- Challenges

Reading to access content continues to be an area we want to focus on at FHS This focus impacts all departments because reading is a

critical literacy skill that matters in all subject areasThrough the use of Readers Apprenticeship strategies we hope to engage students in

effective reading strategies that increases their understanding of all content areas

19c Reading- Trends

FHS has seen an increase in reading scores according to the ACT over the past few years However classroom teachers continue to find

frustration in our students abilities to read technical information and to access content in other areas outside English We will be making this

one of our focus in the coming year

We will be learning about and applying strategies from Readers Apprentice at FHS to address the issue of reading for content understanding

This is also in line with district expectations and standards

20a Writing- Strengths

Writing has been the focus many student growth goals and PLT goals Through this goal-setting process and the work that goes along with

it we have seen gains in specific areas related to writing For example there has been a greater focus on providing enough evidence in

writing to support the writers thesis or claim Through the use of common language and expectation classroom-based data indicates that

FHS students are growing in this area

20b Writing- Challenges

Similar to math students can and do have an aversion to writing Despite our focus on writing and specific aspects of writing we continue to

have more work to do in this areaWe will continue to make this a focus of student growth goals and PLT goals going forward In the past

under the trimester model there was limited time to assign multiple writing tasks now with our semester model each class will have more

time making writing more likely to be assigned

20c Writing- Trends

While we have seen some specific areas where improvements have been made based on classroom-level grades we continue to see this an

area needing more growth While our scores are above state levels we still see this as a place for continued focus and growth

have more time to focus on writing in each of our classrooms

21a Math- Strengths

In the area of math again we are above state levels however we have seen a plateau of math scores over the past few years on ACT We

have seen a slight reduction of math failures but this remains an area where growth is needed Students who take our AP math classes

continue to do well on AP tests and are successful in the class as well

21b Math- Challenges

Despite a decrease in math failures the rate at which students fail math is still too high This will continue to be a part of our FHS SIP to

address achievement levels in math

Overall FHS has been seeing gains in the area of science on the ACT and specific subgroups haven see a slight closure of the achievement

gap in science At the classroom level science teachers have been focusing on students ability to graph relevant data and use graphs to

understand key data and glean informationThis has been an area of great focus over the past few year and classroom level data indicates

that students are making large gains in this specific area of focus

22b Science- Challenges

As with many subject areas an achievement gap exists for students in the area of science Therefore we need to continue our focus on

helping students to access and succeed at this technical content through specific focus on areas of weakness For example using reading

and other literacy strategies to understand difficult content and succeed with science curriculum

22c Science- Trends

While our efforts have yielded some slight gains in closing the achievement gap in the area of science more work is still needed We need

to continue our focus on individualized instruction so all students are mastering the science standards

Summary

28a Summary

Briefly summarize the strengths and challenges identified in the four kinds of data-demographic process achievementoutcomes

and perception

An analysis of the data is an important part of any organization that is reflective in nature Using a multi-tiered approach to reviewing the

data is key to understand the larger scope of the organization and how it is perceived

We have many things to celebrate that the data tells us we are doing well particularly in the area of leadership school culture and safety

These are positive things to be doing well at and are key to creating an overall environment that support students and staff to grow and

achieve

While there are many positive aspects of our school we still have work to do done and areas to growimproveThis will continue to be the

focus of our SIP and our day to day work Finally it is important to note that even with these areas to improve we do have systems in place

that will help us do this It will simply require a greater focus in these areas

28b Summary

How might the challenges identified in the demographic process and perception data impact student achievement

Whenever you are aware of a challenge it provides an opportunity to grow and improve When we are able to improve these areas then

students will see the results This includes a greater focus on our short-comings that in the end will help students

28c Summary

How will these challenges be addressed in the School Improvement Plans Goals Measurable Objectives Strategies and Activities

for the upcoming year For Priority Schools which of these high need areas will inform the Big Ideas and the ReformRedesign

Plan

In reference to our achievement data FHS will continue our SIP goals focused on improving students reading writing and math skills

These key literacy skills are areas where we need to keep our focus to see greater improvement and growth in our standardized testing data

The other data indicates a need to keep focused on the affective components of our school This means that we will continue our

affectivebehavioral goal around PEAK our positive behavior intervention program The continued focus on both the academic and

affective components of schools data will allow our SIP to reflect where we are as a school and where we are headed

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School

Introduction

Every school has its own story to tell The context in which teaching and learning takes place influences the processes and procedures by

which the school makes decisions around curriculum instruction and assessment The context also impacts the way a school stays faithful

to its vision Many factors contribute to the overall narrative such as an identification of stakeholders a description of stakeholder

engagement the trends and issues affecting the school and the kinds of programs and services that a school implements to support student

learning

The purpose of the Executive Summary (ES) is to provide a school with an opportunity to describe in narrative form the strengths and

challenges it encounters By doing so the public and members of the school community will have a more complete picture of how the school

perceives itself and the process of self-reflection for continuous improvement This summary is structured for the school to reflect on how it

provides teaching and learning on a day to day basis

Introduction

The School Data Analysis (SDA) is a diagnostic tool intended to facilitate rich and deep collaborative discussions among staff members

about school data The SDA can serve as a guide to determine a schoolrsquos strengths and challenges as well as directions for improvement

based on an analysis of data and responses to a series of data - related questions in content areas This data collection and analysis process

should include the identification of achievement gaps as well as reflections on possible causes for these gaps This diagnostic represents the

various types of data that should be continuously collected reviewed analyzed and evaluated Completion of the SDA is one piece of a

schoolrsquos comprehensive needs assessment process

Demographic Data

Demographic data is data that provides descriptive information about the school community Examples may include enrollment attendance

grade levels raceethnicity gender students with disabilities English learners socio-economic status graduation rate

suspensionsexpulsions etc

Student Demographic Data

1 In looking at the three year trend in student enrollment data what challenges have been identified

Farmington High School as a part of the Farmington Public Schools is seeing declining enrollment across the system This declining

enrollment trend is due to many factors facing southeastern Michigan Specifically we are losing staff members and not able to offer the

same variety of courses as have been historically available This is also causing building use studies to take place and we may have to look

at closing schools which has an impact on all parts of the community

Student Demographic Data

2 In looking at the three year trend in student attendance data what challenges have been identified

Overall our student attendance rates for students in quite good However there are a handful of students who face challenges with their

attendance We utilize many avenues to address address attendance issues including county truancy officer support in severe situations

Overall our biggest challenges are first hour attendance and tardiness to school

Student Demographic Data

3 In looking at the three year trend in student behavior data (discipline referrals suspensions and expulsions) what challenges

have been identified

We have seen a steep decline in total number of student suspensions We have been focusing on changing practices to offer alternatives to

suspension whenever possibleWe have also may attempts to eliminate progressive discipline policies We have also seen a decline in total

number of discipline referrals and expulsions The challenges that remain are to continue this work and also to examine more ways to be

proactive in supporting students so they do not need disciplinary consequences at all

Student Demographic Data

4 What action(s) could be taken to address any identified challenges with student demographic data

We need to continue to build positive relationships with students and families to help curb the declining enrollment issuesWe also want to

continue examining ways to keep suspension numbers down and kids in school so

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

5 As you review the number of years of teaching and administrative experience of the school leader(s) in your building what

impact might this have on student achievement

SY 2015-2016 Page 13 copy 2015 Advance Education Inc All rights reserved unless otherwise granted by written agreement

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School

We have a seasoned staff both in teaching and administration This experience offers much insight into the challenges we face as a school

and the potential solutions that exist The more experienced the staff the higher achievement is likely to be Teachers are confident in the

content they teach and have established routines to rely upon However it is important to note that practices need to be continually

examined and past practices are not always the best practices Our staff strikes a nice balance between reliance on time-tested practices

and being open to new approaches

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

6 As you review the number of years of teaching experience of teachers in your building what impact might this have on student

achievement

Our teachers have been teaching on average more than 10 years This experience allows for a solid foundation on which our school is

built This experienced staff offers students lots of support and they have proven track record of supporting students and facilitating high

levels of student achievement

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

7 As you review the total number of days for school leader absences and note how many were due to professional learning and or

due to illness what impact might this have on student achievement

Our school leaders are not absent very often Occasionally an absence occurs but it is sporadic and only consists of a day here or there

The school leaders do attend a number of meetings and PD sessions but it does not have a negative impact on student achievement In

fact attending these meetings helps the leaders to define the scope of the work for FHS and sets the standards for district expectations

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

8 As you review the total number of days for teacher absences due to professional learning andor illness what impact might this

have on student achievement

Overall teacher attendance is good We do not experience high levels of teacher absenteeism day to day There are occasions where we

have a lot of teachers out and this can be a challenge When substitutes are in the classes learning is slowed It is difficult to replace a

regular classroom teacher When this happens it is short-lived and this is not an overarching problem for us at FHS

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

9 What actions might be taken to address any identified challenges regarding teacherschool leader demographics

We need to continue keeping FHS a place where students and staff want to be This way absenteeism is not a large negative factor We

can continue to monitor and revise our attendance expectations for students to find effective ways to help students attend school all day on a

regular basis

Process Data

Process data is information about the practices and procedures schools use to plan deliver and monitor curriculum instruction and

assessment

10 In reviewing the results of the School Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment what

strandsstandardsindicators stand out as strengths

We were rated highest in the following categories

-Purpose and direction

-Governance and Leadership

Within those categories were rated a level 3 on the schools leadership being committed to a culture of shared values and beliefs and the

schools leadership implementing a continuous improvement process that provides a clear direction for improving conditions that support

student learning We were also rated a level 3 having a governing body that establishes polices and supports practices that ensure effective

administration of the school and operates responsibly and functions effectively Additionally a level 3 was given for leadership and staff

members who foster a culture consistent with the schools purpose and direction and for having an evaluation system that results in improved

professional practice and student success

11 In reviewing the results of the School Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment what

strandsstandardsindicators stand out as challenges

The area where we were rated lowest was using results for continuous improvement In this areas several level 2 ratings were given in the

following areas

-the schools maintaining a clearly defined and comprehensive student assessment system

-professional and support staff continuously collect analyze and apply learning from a range of data sources including comparison and

trend data and students learning instruction program evaluation and organizational conditions

-professional and support staff are trained in the evaluation interpretation and use of data

-The school engages in a continuous process to determine verifiable improvement in student learning including readiness for learning

including readiness for and success at the next level

12 How might these challenges impact student achievement

It is clear we have created a culture and system that support students and staff to put achievement at the forefront of what we do Now we

need to get better at using data to inform and enhance our instruction in a planned and purposeful way The environment is right for change

and growth now we need to ensure we are deliberating implementing the right things to cause change to occur

SY 2015-2016 Page 15 copy 2015 Advance Education Inc All rights reserved unless otherwise granted by written agreement

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School

13 What actions could be taken and incorporated into the School Improvement Plan to address these challenges from the School

Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment

One important action step that can be taken is to place greater focus on the use of data to inform our instruction in a purposeful way We

have the right structures in place to support this work This is really the next natural step in our path to continuous improvement

14How do you ensure that students with disabilities have access to the full array of intervention programs available ie Title I Title

III Section 31a IDEA credit recovery extended learning opportunities

Students with disabilities have access to all of our classes at FHS Students individualized plans (504 Plans or IEPs) are monitored regularly

with administrator oversight to ensure plans are being followed and implemented and that students goals are being met This includes

ensuring that all students have access to our full array of intervention programs

15 Describe the Extended Learning Opportunities that are available for students and in what grades they are available

The idea of an extended learning opportunity is general and includes may things available to students at FHS We offer after school tutoring

3 days a week with teachers there to support students along with peer tutors We also offer additional help in classrooms with content area

teachers and their students This is done before or after school or during lunch We offer a full array of extra-curricular and co-curricular

activities as well as a full compliment of athletic opportunities These and more are available to students of all grades (9-12) at FHS We

consider all of these opportunities to be extended learning opportunities for students

16 What is the process for identifying students for Extended Learning Opportunities and how are parents notified of these

opportunities

Many of the opportunities listed previously are optional for students and we notify parents of this information via listserv emails our weekly

newsletter and our schools website This is also done through teacher-to-parent communication In the case of after-school tutoring or extra

help in classrooms teachers contact parents by phone or email about expectations and opportunities We also use a General Education

Support Team who meets regularly to identify struggling students and offers to provide support to these students through these various

opportunities

17 What evidence do you have to indicate the extent to which the state content standards are being implemented with fidelity ie

horizontal and vertical alignment in all content courses and grade levels

Our district curriculum has begun a review process in the last year in part due to our change from trimesters to semesters Course content

was reviewed and compared to the appropriate standards Changes were made according to the review and now through the growth and

evaluation model administrators and teacher leaders will ensure that this revised curriculum will be implemented as expected in each of our

classrooms

19a Reading- Strengths

Historically FHS has done well in the area of English on the ACT Specifically FHS ACT College Readiness trend data has indicated we are

above state levels in reading and English and have made steady gains over the past several years

19b Reading- Challenges

Reading to access content continues to be an area we want to focus on at FHS This focus impacts all departments because reading is a

critical literacy skill that matters in all subject areasThrough the use of Readers Apprenticeship strategies we hope to engage students in

effective reading strategies that increases their understanding of all content areas

19c Reading- Trends

FHS has seen an increase in reading scores according to the ACT over the past few years However classroom teachers continue to find

frustration in our students abilities to read technical information and to access content in other areas outside English We will be making this

one of our focus in the coming year

We will be learning about and applying strategies from Readers Apprentice at FHS to address the issue of reading for content understanding

This is also in line with district expectations and standards

20a Writing- Strengths

Writing has been the focus many student growth goals and PLT goals Through this goal-setting process and the work that goes along with

it we have seen gains in specific areas related to writing For example there has been a greater focus on providing enough evidence in

writing to support the writers thesis or claim Through the use of common language and expectation classroom-based data indicates that

FHS students are growing in this area

20b Writing- Challenges

Similar to math students can and do have an aversion to writing Despite our focus on writing and specific aspects of writing we continue to

have more work to do in this areaWe will continue to make this a focus of student growth goals and PLT goals going forward In the past

under the trimester model there was limited time to assign multiple writing tasks now with our semester model each class will have more

time making writing more likely to be assigned

20c Writing- Trends

While we have seen some specific areas where improvements have been made based on classroom-level grades we continue to see this an

area needing more growth While our scores are above state levels we still see this as a place for continued focus and growth

21a Math- Strengths

In the area of math again we are above state levels however we have seen a plateau of math scores over the past few years on ACT We

have seen a slight reduction of math failures but this remains an area where growth is needed Students who take our AP math classes

continue to do well on AP tests and are successful in the class as well

21b Math- Challenges

Despite a decrease in math failures the rate at which students fail math is still too high This will continue to be a part of our FHS SIP to

address achievement levels in math

understand key data and glean informationThis has been an area of great focus over the past few year and classroom level data indicates

that students are making large gains in this specific area of focus

22b Science- Challenges

As with many subject areas an achievement gap exists for students in the area of science Therefore we need to continue our focus on

helping students to access and succeed at this technical content through specific focus on areas of weakness For example using reading

and other literacy strategies to understand difficult content and succeed with science curriculum

Summary

28a Summary

Briefly summarize the strengths and challenges identified in the four kinds of data-demographic process achievementoutcomes

and perception

An analysis of the data is an important part of any organization that is reflective in nature Using a multi-tiered approach to reviewing the

data is key to understand the larger scope of the organization and how it is perceived

We have many things to celebrate that the data tells us we are doing well particularly in the area of leadership school culture and safety

These are positive things to be doing well at and are key to creating an overall environment that support students and staff to grow and

achieve

While there are many positive aspects of our school we still have work to do done and areas to growimproveThis will continue to be the

focus of our SIP and our day to day work Finally it is important to note that even with these areas to improve we do have systems in place

that will help us do this It will simply require a greater focus in these areas

28b Summary

How might the challenges identified in the demographic process and perception data impact student achievement

Whenever you are aware of a challenge it provides an opportunity to grow and improve When we are able to improve these areas then

students will see the results This includes a greater focus on our short-comings that in the end will help students

28c Summary

How will these challenges be addressed in the School Improvement Plans Goals Measurable Objectives Strategies and Activities

for the upcoming year For Priority Schools which of these high need areas will inform the Big Ideas and the ReformRedesign

Plan

In reference to our achievement data FHS will continue our SIP goals focused on improving students reading writing and math skills

These key literacy skills are areas where we need to keep our focus to see greater improvement and growth in our standardized testing data

The other data indicates a need to keep focused on the affective components of our school This means that we will continue our

affectivebehavioral goal around PEAK our positive behavior intervention program The continued focus on both the academic and

affective components of schools data will allow our SIP to reflect where we are as a school and where we are headed

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School

Introduction

Every school has its own story to tell The context in which teaching and learning takes place influences the processes and procedures by

which the school makes decisions around curriculum instruction and assessment The context also impacts the way a school stays faithful

to its vision Many factors contribute to the overall narrative such as an identification of stakeholders a description of stakeholder

engagement the trends and issues affecting the school and the kinds of programs and services that a school implements to support student

learning

The purpose of the Executive Summary (ES) is to provide a school with an opportunity to describe in narrative form the strengths and

challenges it encounters By doing so the public and members of the school community will have a more complete picture of how the school

perceives itself and the process of self-reflection for continuous improvement This summary is structured for the school to reflect on how it

provides teaching and learning on a day to day basis

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School

Introduction

The School Data Analysis (SDA) is a diagnostic tool intended to facilitate rich and deep collaborative discussions among staff members

about school data The SDA can serve as a guide to determine a schoolrsquos strengths and challenges as well as directions for improvement

based on an analysis of data and responses to a series of data - related questions in content areas This data collection and analysis process

should include the identification of achievement gaps as well as reflections on possible causes for these gaps This diagnostic represents the

various types of data that should be continuously collected reviewed analyzed and evaluated Completion of the SDA is one piece of a

schoolrsquos comprehensive needs assessment process

Demographic Data

Demographic data is data that provides descriptive information about the school community Examples may include enrollment attendance

grade levels raceethnicity gender students with disabilities English learners socio-economic status graduation rate

suspensionsexpulsions etc

Student Demographic Data

1 In looking at the three year trend in student enrollment data what challenges have been identified

Farmington High School as a part of the Farmington Public Schools is seeing declining enrollment across the system This declining

enrollment trend is due to many factors facing southeastern Michigan Specifically we are losing staff members and not able to offer the

same variety of courses as have been historically available This is also causing building use studies to take place and we may have to look

at closing schools which has an impact on all parts of the community

Student Demographic Data

2 In looking at the three year trend in student attendance data what challenges have been identified

Overall our student attendance rates for students in quite good However there are a handful of students who face challenges with their

attendance We utilize many avenues to address address attendance issues including county truancy officer support in severe situations

Overall our biggest challenges are first hour attendance and tardiness to school

Student Demographic Data

3 In looking at the three year trend in student behavior data (discipline referrals suspensions and expulsions) what challenges

have been identified

We have seen a steep decline in total number of student suspensions We have been focusing on changing practices to offer alternatives to

suspension whenever possibleWe have also may attempts to eliminate progressive discipline policies We have also seen a decline in total

number of discipline referrals and expulsions The challenges that remain are to continue this work and also to examine more ways to be

proactive in supporting students so they do not need disciplinary consequences at all

Student Demographic Data

4 What action(s) could be taken to address any identified challenges with student demographic data

We need to continue to build positive relationships with students and families to help curb the declining enrollment issuesWe also want to

continue examining ways to keep suspension numbers down and kids in school so

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

5 As you review the number of years of teaching and administrative experience of the school leader(s) in your building what

impact might this have on student achievement

SY 2015-2016 Page 13 copy 2015 Advance Education Inc All rights reserved unless otherwise granted by written agreement

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School

We have a seasoned staff both in teaching and administration This experience offers much insight into the challenges we face as a school

and the potential solutions that exist The more experienced the staff the higher achievement is likely to be Teachers are confident in the

content they teach and have established routines to rely upon However it is important to note that practices need to be continually

examined and past practices are not always the best practices Our staff strikes a nice balance between reliance on time-tested practices

and being open to new approaches

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

6 As you review the number of years of teaching experience of teachers in your building what impact might this have on student

achievement

Our teachers have been teaching on average more than 10 years This experience allows for a solid foundation on which our school is

built This experienced staff offers students lots of support and they have proven track record of supporting students and facilitating high

levels of student achievement

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

7 As you review the total number of days for school leader absences and note how many were due to professional learning and or

due to illness what impact might this have on student achievement

Our school leaders are not absent very often Occasionally an absence occurs but it is sporadic and only consists of a day here or there

The school leaders do attend a number of meetings and PD sessions but it does not have a negative impact on student achievement In

fact attending these meetings helps the leaders to define the scope of the work for FHS and sets the standards for district expectations

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

8 As you review the total number of days for teacher absences due to professional learning andor illness what impact might this

have on student achievement

Overall teacher attendance is good We do not experience high levels of teacher absenteeism day to day There are occasions where we

have a lot of teachers out and this can be a challenge When substitutes are in the classes learning is slowed It is difficult to replace a

regular classroom teacher When this happens it is short-lived and this is not an overarching problem for us at FHS

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

9 What actions might be taken to address any identified challenges regarding teacherschool leader demographics

We need to continue keeping FHS a place where students and staff want to be This way absenteeism is not a large negative factor We

can continue to monitor and revise our attendance expectations for students to find effective ways to help students attend school all day on a

regular basis

Process Data

Process data is information about the practices and procedures schools use to plan deliver and monitor curriculum instruction and

assessment

10 In reviewing the results of the School Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment what

strandsstandardsindicators stand out as strengths

We were rated highest in the following categories

-Purpose and direction

-Governance and Leadership

Within those categories were rated a level 3 on the schools leadership being committed to a culture of shared values and beliefs and the

schools leadership implementing a continuous improvement process that provides a clear direction for improving conditions that support

student learning We were also rated a level 3 having a governing body that establishes polices and supports practices that ensure effective

administration of the school and operates responsibly and functions effectively Additionally a level 3 was given for leadership and staff

members who foster a culture consistent with the schools purpose and direction and for having an evaluation system that results in improved

professional practice and student success

11 In reviewing the results of the School Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment what

strandsstandardsindicators stand out as challenges

The area where we were rated lowest was using results for continuous improvement In this areas several level 2 ratings were given in the

following areas

-the schools maintaining a clearly defined and comprehensive student assessment system

-professional and support staff continuously collect analyze and apply learning from a range of data sources including comparison and

trend data and students learning instruction program evaluation and organizational conditions

-professional and support staff are trained in the evaluation interpretation and use of data

-The school engages in a continuous process to determine verifiable improvement in student learning including readiness for learning

including readiness for and success at the next level

12 How might these challenges impact student achievement

It is clear we have created a culture and system that support students and staff to put achievement at the forefront of what we do Now we

need to get better at using data to inform and enhance our instruction in a planned and purposeful way The environment is right for change

and growth now we need to ensure we are deliberating implementing the right things to cause change to occur

SY 2015-2016 Page 15 copy 2015 Advance Education Inc All rights reserved unless otherwise granted by written agreement

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School

13 What actions could be taken and incorporated into the School Improvement Plan to address these challenges from the School

Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment

One important action step that can be taken is to place greater focus on the use of data to inform our instruction in a purposeful way We

have the right structures in place to support this work This is really the next natural step in our path to continuous improvement

14How do you ensure that students with disabilities have access to the full array of intervention programs available ie Title I Title

III Section 31a IDEA credit recovery extended learning opportunities

Students with disabilities have access to all of our classes at FHS Students individualized plans (504 Plans or IEPs) are monitored regularly

with administrator oversight to ensure plans are being followed and implemented and that students goals are being met This includes

ensuring that all students have access to our full array of intervention programs

15 Describe the Extended Learning Opportunities that are available for students and in what grades they are available

The idea of an extended learning opportunity is general and includes may things available to students at FHS We offer after school tutoring

3 days a week with teachers there to support students along with peer tutors We also offer additional help in classrooms with content area

teachers and their students This is done before or after school or during lunch We offer a full array of extra-curricular and co-curricular

activities as well as a full compliment of athletic opportunities These and more are available to students of all grades (9-12) at FHS We

consider all of these opportunities to be extended learning opportunities for students

16 What is the process for identifying students for Extended Learning Opportunities and how are parents notified of these

opportunities

Many of the opportunities listed previously are optional for students and we notify parents of this information via listserv emails our weekly

newsletter and our schools website This is also done through teacher-to-parent communication In the case of after-school tutoring or extra

help in classrooms teachers contact parents by phone or email about expectations and opportunities We also use a General Education

Support Team who meets regularly to identify struggling students and offers to provide support to these students through these various

opportunities

17 What evidence do you have to indicate the extent to which the state content standards are being implemented with fidelity ie

horizontal and vertical alignment in all content courses and grade levels

Our district curriculum has begun a review process in the last year in part due to our change from trimesters to semesters Course content

was reviewed and compared to the appropriate standards Changes were made according to the review and now through the growth and

evaluation model administrators and teacher leaders will ensure that this revised curriculum will be implemented as expected in each of our

classrooms

framework adopted by the district several years ago as well as provide a greater emphasis on the PLT process to support teachers new to

the profession

Summary

28a Summary

Briefly summarize the strengths and challenges identified in the four kinds of data-demographic process achievementoutcomes

and perception

An analysis of the data is an important part of any organization that is reflective in nature Using a multi-tiered approach to reviewing the

data is key to understand the larger scope of the organization and how it is perceived

We have many things to celebrate that the data tells us we are doing well particularly in the area of leadership school culture and safety

These are positive things to be doing well at and are key to creating an overall environment that support students and staff to grow and

achieve

While there are many positive aspects of our school we still have work to do done and areas to growimproveThis will continue to be the

focus of our SIP and our day to day work Finally it is important to note that even with these areas to improve we do have systems in place

that will help us do this It will simply require a greater focus in these areas

28b Summary

How might the challenges identified in the demographic process and perception data impact student achievement

Whenever you are aware of a challenge it provides an opportunity to grow and improve When we are able to improve these areas then

students will see the results This includes a greater focus on our short-comings that in the end will help students

28c Summary

How will these challenges be addressed in the School Improvement Plans Goals Measurable Objectives Strategies and Activities

for the upcoming year For Priority Schools which of these high need areas will inform the Big Ideas and the ReformRedesign

Plan

In reference to our achievement data FHS will continue our SIP goals focused on improving students reading writing and math skills

These key literacy skills are areas where we need to keep our focus to see greater improvement and growth in our standardized testing data

The other data indicates a need to keep focused on the affective components of our school This means that we will continue our

affectivebehavioral goal around PEAK our positive behavior intervention program The continued focus on both the academic and

affective components of schools data will allow our SIP to reflect where we are as a school and where we are headed

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School

Introduction

Every school has its own story to tell The context in which teaching and learning takes place influences the processes and procedures by

which the school makes decisions around curriculum instruction and assessment The context also impacts the way a school stays faithful

to its vision Many factors contribute to the overall narrative such as an identification of stakeholders a description of stakeholder

engagement the trends and issues affecting the school and the kinds of programs and services that a school implements to support student

learning

The purpose of the Executive Summary (ES) is to provide a school with an opportunity to describe in narrative form the strengths and

challenges it encounters By doing so the public and members of the school community will have a more complete picture of how the school

perceives itself and the process of self-reflection for continuous improvement This summary is structured for the school to reflect on how it

provides teaching and learning on a day to day basis

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School

Introduction

The School Data Analysis (SDA) is a diagnostic tool intended to facilitate rich and deep collaborative discussions among staff members

about school data The SDA can serve as a guide to determine a schoolrsquos strengths and challenges as well as directions for improvement

based on an analysis of data and responses to a series of data - related questions in content areas This data collection and analysis process

should include the identification of achievement gaps as well as reflections on possible causes for these gaps This diagnostic represents the

various types of data that should be continuously collected reviewed analyzed and evaluated Completion of the SDA is one piece of a

schoolrsquos comprehensive needs assessment process

Demographic Data

Demographic data is data that provides descriptive information about the school community Examples may include enrollment attendance

grade levels raceethnicity gender students with disabilities English learners socio-economic status graduation rate

suspensionsexpulsions etc

Student Demographic Data

1 In looking at the three year trend in student enrollment data what challenges have been identified

Farmington High School as a part of the Farmington Public Schools is seeing declining enrollment across the system This declining

enrollment trend is due to many factors facing southeastern Michigan Specifically we are losing staff members and not able to offer the

same variety of courses as have been historically available This is also causing building use studies to take place and we may have to look

at closing schools which has an impact on all parts of the community

Student Demographic Data

2 In looking at the three year trend in student attendance data what challenges have been identified

Overall our student attendance rates for students in quite good However there are a handful of students who face challenges with their

attendance We utilize many avenues to address address attendance issues including county truancy officer support in severe situations

Overall our biggest challenges are first hour attendance and tardiness to school

Student Demographic Data

3 In looking at the three year trend in student behavior data (discipline referrals suspensions and expulsions) what challenges

have been identified

We have seen a steep decline in total number of student suspensions We have been focusing on changing practices to offer alternatives to

suspension whenever possibleWe have also may attempts to eliminate progressive discipline policies We have also seen a decline in total

number of discipline referrals and expulsions The challenges that remain are to continue this work and also to examine more ways to be

proactive in supporting students so they do not need disciplinary consequences at all

Student Demographic Data

4 What action(s) could be taken to address any identified challenges with student demographic data

We need to continue to build positive relationships with students and families to help curb the declining enrollment issuesWe also want to

continue examining ways to keep suspension numbers down and kids in school so

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

5 As you review the number of years of teaching and administrative experience of the school leader(s) in your building what

impact might this have on student achievement

SY 2015-2016 Page 13 copy 2015 Advance Education Inc All rights reserved unless otherwise granted by written agreement

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School

We have a seasoned staff both in teaching and administration This experience offers much insight into the challenges we face as a school

and the potential solutions that exist The more experienced the staff the higher achievement is likely to be Teachers are confident in the

content they teach and have established routines to rely upon However it is important to note that practices need to be continually

examined and past practices are not always the best practices Our staff strikes a nice balance between reliance on time-tested practices

and being open to new approaches

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

6 As you review the number of years of teaching experience of teachers in your building what impact might this have on student

achievement

Our teachers have been teaching on average more than 10 years This experience allows for a solid foundation on which our school is

built This experienced staff offers students lots of support and they have proven track record of supporting students and facilitating high

levels of student achievement

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

7 As you review the total number of days for school leader absences and note how many were due to professional learning and or

due to illness what impact might this have on student achievement

Our school leaders are not absent very often Occasionally an absence occurs but it is sporadic and only consists of a day here or there

The school leaders do attend a number of meetings and PD sessions but it does not have a negative impact on student achievement In

fact attending these meetings helps the leaders to define the scope of the work for FHS and sets the standards for district expectations

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

8 As you review the total number of days for teacher absences due to professional learning andor illness what impact might this

have on student achievement

Overall teacher attendance is good We do not experience high levels of teacher absenteeism day to day There are occasions where we

have a lot of teachers out and this can be a challenge When substitutes are in the classes learning is slowed It is difficult to replace a

regular classroom teacher When this happens it is short-lived and this is not an overarching problem for us at FHS

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

9 What actions might be taken to address any identified challenges regarding teacherschool leader demographics

We need to continue keeping FHS a place where students and staff want to be This way absenteeism is not a large negative factor We

can continue to monitor and revise our attendance expectations for students to find effective ways to help students attend school all day on a

regular basis

Process Data

Process data is information about the practices and procedures schools use to plan deliver and monitor curriculum instruction and

assessment

10 In reviewing the results of the School Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment what

strandsstandardsindicators stand out as strengths

We were rated highest in the following categories

-Purpose and direction

-Governance and Leadership

Within those categories were rated a level 3 on the schools leadership being committed to a culture of shared values and beliefs and the

schools leadership implementing a continuous improvement process that provides a clear direction for improving conditions that support

student learning We were also rated a level 3 having a governing body that establishes polices and supports practices that ensure effective

administration of the school and operates responsibly and functions effectively Additionally a level 3 was given for leadership and staff

members who foster a culture consistent with the schools purpose and direction and for having an evaluation system that results in improved

professional practice and student success

11 In reviewing the results of the School Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment what

strandsstandardsindicators stand out as challenges

The area where we were rated lowest was using results for continuous improvement In this areas several level 2 ratings were given in the

following areas

-the schools maintaining a clearly defined and comprehensive student assessment system

-professional and support staff continuously collect analyze and apply learning from a range of data sources including comparison and

trend data and students learning instruction program evaluation and organizational conditions

-professional and support staff are trained in the evaluation interpretation and use of data

-The school engages in a continuous process to determine verifiable improvement in student learning including readiness for learning

including readiness for and success at the next level

12 How might these challenges impact student achievement

It is clear we have created a culture and system that support students and staff to put achievement at the forefront of what we do Now we

need to get better at using data to inform and enhance our instruction in a planned and purposeful way The environment is right for change

and growth now we need to ensure we are deliberating implementing the right things to cause change to occur

SY 2015-2016 Page 15 copy 2015 Advance Education Inc All rights reserved unless otherwise granted by written agreement

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School

13 What actions could be taken and incorporated into the School Improvement Plan to address these challenges from the School

Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment

One important action step that can be taken is to place greater focus on the use of data to inform our instruction in a purposeful way We

have the right structures in place to support this work This is really the next natural step in our path to continuous improvement

14How do you ensure that students with disabilities have access to the full array of intervention programs available ie Title I Title

III Section 31a IDEA credit recovery extended learning opportunities

Students with disabilities have access to all of our classes at FHS Students individualized plans (504 Plans or IEPs) are monitored regularly

with administrator oversight to ensure plans are being followed and implemented and that students goals are being met This includes

ensuring that all students have access to our full array of intervention programs

15 Describe the Extended Learning Opportunities that are available for students and in what grades they are available

The idea of an extended learning opportunity is general and includes may things available to students at FHS We offer after school tutoring

3 days a week with teachers there to support students along with peer tutors We also offer additional help in classrooms with content area

teachers and their students This is done before or after school or during lunch We offer a full array of extra-curricular and co-curricular

activities as well as a full compliment of athletic opportunities These and more are available to students of all grades (9-12) at FHS We

consider all of these opportunities to be extended learning opportunities for students

16 What is the process for identifying students for Extended Learning Opportunities and how are parents notified of these

opportunities

Many of the opportunities listed previously are optional for students and we notify parents of this information via listserv emails our weekly

newsletter and our schools website This is also done through teacher-to-parent communication In the case of after-school tutoring or extra

help in classrooms teachers contact parents by phone or email about expectations and opportunities We also use a General Education

Support Team who meets regularly to identify struggling students and offers to provide support to these students through these various

opportunities

17 What evidence do you have to indicate the extent to which the state content standards are being implemented with fidelity ie

horizontal and vertical alignment in all content courses and grade levels

Our district curriculum has begun a review process in the last year in part due to our change from trimesters to semesters Course content

was reviewed and compared to the appropriate standards Changes were made according to the review and now through the growth and

evaluation model administrators and teacher leaders will ensure that this revised curriculum will be implemented as expected in each of our

classrooms

19a Reading- Strengths

Historically FHS has done well in the area of English on the ACT Specifically FHS ACT College Readiness trend data has indicated we are

above state levels in reading and English and have made steady gains over the past several years

19b Reading- Challenges

Reading to access content continues to be an area we want to focus on at FHS This focus impacts all departments because reading is a

critical literacy skill that matters in all subject areasThrough the use of Readers Apprenticeship strategies we hope to engage students in

effective reading strategies that increases their understanding of all content areas

19c Reading- Trends

FHS has seen an increase in reading scores according to the ACT over the past few years However classroom teachers continue to find

frustration in our students abilities to read technical information and to access content in other areas outside English We will be making this

one of our focus in the coming year

We will be learning about and applying strategies from Readers Apprentice at FHS to address the issue of reading for content understanding

This is also in line with district expectations and standards

20a Writing- Strengths

Writing has been the focus many student growth goals and PLT goals Through this goal-setting process and the work that goes along with

it we have seen gains in specific areas related to writing For example there has been a greater focus on providing enough evidence in

writing to support the writers thesis or claim Through the use of common language and expectation classroom-based data indicates that

FHS students are growing in this area

20b Writing- Challenges

Similar to math students can and do have an aversion to writing Despite our focus on writing and specific aspects of writing we continue to

have more work to do in this areaWe will continue to make this a focus of student growth goals and PLT goals going forward In the past

under the trimester model there was limited time to assign multiple writing tasks now with our semester model each class will have more

time making writing more likely to be assigned

20c Writing- Trends

While we have seen some specific areas where improvements have been made based on classroom-level grades we continue to see this an

area needing more growth While our scores are above state levels we still see this as a place for continued focus and growth

21a Math- Strengths

In the area of math again we are above state levels however we have seen a plateau of math scores over the past few years on ACT We

have seen a slight reduction of math failures but this remains an area where growth is needed Students who take our AP math classes

continue to do well on AP tests and are successful in the class as well

21b Math- Challenges

Despite a decrease in math failures the rate at which students fail math is still too high This will continue to be a part of our FHS SIP to

address achievement levels in math

gap in science At the classroom level science teachers have been focusing on students ability to graph relevant data and use graphs to

understand key data and glean informationThis has been an area of great focus over the past few year and classroom level data indicates

that students are making large gains in this specific area of focus

22b Science- Challenges

As with many subject areas an achievement gap exists for students in the area of science Therefore we need to continue our focus on

helping students to access and succeed at this technical content through specific focus on areas of weakness For example using reading

and other literacy strategies to understand difficult content and succeed with science curriculum

Summary

28a Summary

Briefly summarize the strengths and challenges identified in the four kinds of data-demographic process achievementoutcomes

and perception

An analysis of the data is an important part of any organization that is reflective in nature Using a multi-tiered approach to reviewing the

data is key to understand the larger scope of the organization and how it is perceived

We have many things to celebrate that the data tells us we are doing well particularly in the area of leadership school culture and safety

These are positive things to be doing well at and are key to creating an overall environment that support students and staff to grow and

achieve

While there are many positive aspects of our school we still have work to do done and areas to growimproveThis will continue to be the

focus of our SIP and our day to day work Finally it is important to note that even with these areas to improve we do have systems in place

that will help us do this It will simply require a greater focus in these areas

28b Summary

How might the challenges identified in the demographic process and perception data impact student achievement

Whenever you are aware of a challenge it provides an opportunity to grow and improve When we are able to improve these areas then

students will see the results This includes a greater focus on our short-comings that in the end will help students

28c Summary

How will these challenges be addressed in the School Improvement Plans Goals Measurable Objectives Strategies and Activities

for the upcoming year For Priority Schools which of these high need areas will inform the Big Ideas and the ReformRedesign

Plan

In reference to our achievement data FHS will continue our SIP goals focused on improving students reading writing and math skills

These key literacy skills are areas where we need to keep our focus to see greater improvement and growth in our standardized testing data

The other data indicates a need to keep focused on the affective components of our school This means that we will continue our

affectivebehavioral goal around PEAK our positive behavior intervention program The continued focus on both the academic and

affective components of schools data will allow our SIP to reflect where we are as a school and where we are headed

Introduction

Every school has its own story to tell The context in which teaching and learning takes place influences the processes and procedures by

which the school makes decisions around curriculum instruction and assessment The context also impacts the way a school stays faithful

to its vision Many factors contribute to the overall narrative such as an identification of stakeholders a description of stakeholder

engagement the trends and issues affecting the school and the kinds of programs and services that a school implements to support student

learning

The purpose of the Executive Summary (ES) is to provide a school with an opportunity to describe in narrative form the strengths and

challenges it encounters By doing so the public and members of the school community will have a more complete picture of how the school

perceives itself and the process of self-reflection for continuous improvement This summary is structured for the school to reflect on how it

provides teaching and learning on a day to day basis

Introduction

The School Data Analysis (SDA) is a diagnostic tool intended to facilitate rich and deep collaborative discussions among staff members

about school data The SDA can serve as a guide to determine a schoolrsquos strengths and challenges as well as directions for improvement

based on an analysis of data and responses to a series of data - related questions in content areas This data collection and analysis process

should include the identification of achievement gaps as well as reflections on possible causes for these gaps This diagnostic represents the

various types of data that should be continuously collected reviewed analyzed and evaluated Completion of the SDA is one piece of a

schoolrsquos comprehensive needs assessment process

Demographic Data

Demographic data is data that provides descriptive information about the school community Examples may include enrollment attendance

grade levels raceethnicity gender students with disabilities English learners socio-economic status graduation rate

suspensionsexpulsions etc

Student Demographic Data

1 In looking at the three year trend in student enrollment data what challenges have been identified

Farmington High School as a part of the Farmington Public Schools is seeing declining enrollment across the system This declining

enrollment trend is due to many factors facing southeastern Michigan Specifically we are losing staff members and not able to offer the

same variety of courses as have been historically available This is also causing building use studies to take place and we may have to look

at closing schools which has an impact on all parts of the community

Student Demographic Data

2 In looking at the three year trend in student attendance data what challenges have been identified

Overall our student attendance rates for students in quite good However there are a handful of students who face challenges with their

attendance We utilize many avenues to address address attendance issues including county truancy officer support in severe situations

Overall our biggest challenges are first hour attendance and tardiness to school

Student Demographic Data

3 In looking at the three year trend in student behavior data (discipline referrals suspensions and expulsions) what challenges

have been identified

We have seen a steep decline in total number of student suspensions We have been focusing on changing practices to offer alternatives to

suspension whenever possibleWe have also may attempts to eliminate progressive discipline policies We have also seen a decline in total

number of discipline referrals and expulsions The challenges that remain are to continue this work and also to examine more ways to be

proactive in supporting students so they do not need disciplinary consequences at all

Student Demographic Data

4 What action(s) could be taken to address any identified challenges with student demographic data

We need to continue to build positive relationships with students and families to help curb the declining enrollment issuesWe also want to

continue examining ways to keep suspension numbers down and kids in school so

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

5 As you review the number of years of teaching and administrative experience of the school leader(s) in your building what

impact might this have on student achievement

SY 2015-2016 Page 13 copy 2015 Advance Education Inc All rights reserved unless otherwise granted by written agreement

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School

We have a seasoned staff both in teaching and administration This experience offers much insight into the challenges we face as a school

and the potential solutions that exist The more experienced the staff the higher achievement is likely to be Teachers are confident in the

content they teach and have established routines to rely upon However it is important to note that practices need to be continually

examined and past practices are not always the best practices Our staff strikes a nice balance between reliance on time-tested practices

and being open to new approaches

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

6 As you review the number of years of teaching experience of teachers in your building what impact might this have on student

achievement

Our teachers have been teaching on average more than 10 years This experience allows for a solid foundation on which our school is

built This experienced staff offers students lots of support and they have proven track record of supporting students and facilitating high

levels of student achievement

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

7 As you review the total number of days for school leader absences and note how many were due to professional learning and or

due to illness what impact might this have on student achievement

Our school leaders are not absent very often Occasionally an absence occurs but it is sporadic and only consists of a day here or there

The school leaders do attend a number of meetings and PD sessions but it does not have a negative impact on student achievement In

fact attending these meetings helps the leaders to define the scope of the work for FHS and sets the standards for district expectations

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

8 As you review the total number of days for teacher absences due to professional learning andor illness what impact might this

have on student achievement

Overall teacher attendance is good We do not experience high levels of teacher absenteeism day to day There are occasions where we

have a lot of teachers out and this can be a challenge When substitutes are in the classes learning is slowed It is difficult to replace a

regular classroom teacher When this happens it is short-lived and this is not an overarching problem for us at FHS

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

9 What actions might be taken to address any identified challenges regarding teacherschool leader demographics

We need to continue keeping FHS a place where students and staff want to be This way absenteeism is not a large negative factor We

can continue to monitor and revise our attendance expectations for students to find effective ways to help students attend school all day on a

regular basis

Process Data

Process data is information about the practices and procedures schools use to plan deliver and monitor curriculum instruction and

assessment

10 In reviewing the results of the School Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment what

strandsstandardsindicators stand out as strengths

We were rated highest in the following categories

-Purpose and direction

-Governance and Leadership

Within those categories were rated a level 3 on the schools leadership being committed to a culture of shared values and beliefs and the

schools leadership implementing a continuous improvement process that provides a clear direction for improving conditions that support

student learning We were also rated a level 3 having a governing body that establishes polices and supports practices that ensure effective

administration of the school and operates responsibly and functions effectively Additionally a level 3 was given for leadership and staff

members who foster a culture consistent with the schools purpose and direction and for having an evaluation system that results in improved

professional practice and student success

11 In reviewing the results of the School Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment what

strandsstandardsindicators stand out as challenges

The area where we were rated lowest was using results for continuous improvement In this areas several level 2 ratings were given in the

following areas

-the schools maintaining a clearly defined and comprehensive student assessment system

-professional and support staff continuously collect analyze and apply learning from a range of data sources including comparison and

trend data and students learning instruction program evaluation and organizational conditions

-professional and support staff are trained in the evaluation interpretation and use of data

-The school engages in a continuous process to determine verifiable improvement in student learning including readiness for learning

including readiness for and success at the next level

12 How might these challenges impact student achievement

It is clear we have created a culture and system that support students and staff to put achievement at the forefront of what we do Now we

need to get better at using data to inform and enhance our instruction in a planned and purposeful way The environment is right for change

and growth now we need to ensure we are deliberating implementing the right things to cause change to occur

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School

13 What actions could be taken and incorporated into the School Improvement Plan to address these challenges from the School

Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment

One important action step that can be taken is to place greater focus on the use of data to inform our instruction in a purposeful way We

have the right structures in place to support this work This is really the next natural step in our path to continuous improvement

14How do you ensure that students with disabilities have access to the full array of intervention programs available ie Title I Title

III Section 31a IDEA credit recovery extended learning opportunities

Students with disabilities have access to all of our classes at FHS Students individualized plans (504 Plans or IEPs) are monitored regularly

with administrator oversight to ensure plans are being followed and implemented and that students goals are being met This includes

ensuring that all students have access to our full array of intervention programs

15 Describe the Extended Learning Opportunities that are available for students and in what grades they are available

The idea of an extended learning opportunity is general and includes may things available to students at FHS We offer after school tutoring

3 days a week with teachers there to support students along with peer tutors We also offer additional help in classrooms with content area

teachers and their students This is done before or after school or during lunch We offer a full array of extra-curricular and co-curricular

activities as well as a full compliment of athletic opportunities These and more are available to students of all grades (9-12) at FHS We

consider all of these opportunities to be extended learning opportunities for students

16 What is the process for identifying students for Extended Learning Opportunities and how are parents notified of these

opportunities

Many of the opportunities listed previously are optional for students and we notify parents of this information via listserv emails our weekly

newsletter and our schools website This is also done through teacher-to-parent communication In the case of after-school tutoring or extra

help in classrooms teachers contact parents by phone or email about expectations and opportunities We also use a General Education

Support Team who meets regularly to identify struggling students and offers to provide support to these students through these various

opportunities

17 What evidence do you have to indicate the extent to which the state content standards are being implemented with fidelity ie

horizontal and vertical alignment in all content courses and grade levels

Our district curriculum has begun a review process in the last year in part due to our change from trimesters to semesters Course content

was reviewed and compared to the appropriate standards Changes were made according to the review and now through the growth and

evaluation model administrators and teacher leaders will ensure that this revised curriculum will be implemented as expected in each of our

classrooms

19a Reading- Strengths

Historically FHS has done well in the area of English on the ACT Specifically FHS ACT College Readiness trend data has indicated we are

above state levels in reading and English and have made steady gains over the past several years

19b Reading- Challenges

Reading to access content continues to be an area we want to focus on at FHS This focus impacts all departments because reading is a

critical literacy skill that matters in all subject areasThrough the use of Readers Apprenticeship strategies we hope to engage students in

effective reading strategies that increases their understanding of all content areas

19c Reading- Trends

FHS has seen an increase in reading scores according to the ACT over the past few years However classroom teachers continue to find

frustration in our students abilities to read technical information and to access content in other areas outside English We will be making this

one of our focus in the coming year

We will be learning about and applying strategies from Readers Apprentice at FHS to address the issue of reading for content understanding

This is also in line with district expectations and standards

20a Writing- Strengths

Writing has been the focus many student growth goals and PLT goals Through this goal-setting process and the work that goes along with

it we have seen gains in specific areas related to writing For example there has been a greater focus on providing enough evidence in

writing to support the writers thesis or claim Through the use of common language and expectation classroom-based data indicates that

FHS students are growing in this area

20b Writing- Challenges

Similar to math students can and do have an aversion to writing Despite our focus on writing and specific aspects of writing we continue to

have more work to do in this areaWe will continue to make this a focus of student growth goals and PLT goals going forward In the past

under the trimester model there was limited time to assign multiple writing tasks now with our semester model each class will have more

time making writing more likely to be assigned

20c Writing- Trends

While we have seen some specific areas where improvements have been made based on classroom-level grades we continue to see this an

area needing more growth While our scores are above state levels we still see this as a place for continued focus and growth

that supports one of our SIP goalsTherefore writing will continue to be a focus for our school Also with our lengthened terms teachers will

have more time to focus on writing in each of our classrooms

21a Math- Strengths

In the area of math again we are above state levels however we have seen a plateau of math scores over the past few years on ACT We

have seen a slight reduction of math failures but this remains an area where growth is needed Students who take our AP math classes

continue to do well on AP tests and are successful in the class as well

21b Math- Challenges

Despite a decrease in math failures the rate at which students fail math is still too high This will continue to be a part of our FHS SIP to

address achievement levels in math

21c Math- Trends

Math continues to be a goal area for FHS Failure rates are still too high and require us to continue to examine our instructional approach to

math seeking changes to how math is taught and assessed

gap in science At the classroom level science teachers have been focusing on students ability to graph relevant data and use graphs to

understand key data and glean informationThis has been an area of great focus over the past few year and classroom level data indicates

that students are making large gains in this specific area of focus

22b Science- Challenges

As with many subject areas an achievement gap exists for students in the area of science Therefore we need to continue our focus on

helping students to access and succeed at this technical content through specific focus on areas of weakness For example using reading

and other literacy strategies to understand difficult content and succeed with science curriculum

22c Science- Trends

While our efforts have yielded some slight gains in closing the achievement gap in the area of science more work is still needed We need

to continue our focus on individualized instruction so all students are mastering the science standards

Summary

28a Summary

Briefly summarize the strengths and challenges identified in the four kinds of data-demographic process achievementoutcomes

and perception

An analysis of the data is an important part of any organization that is reflective in nature Using a multi-tiered approach to reviewing the

data is key to understand the larger scope of the organization and how it is perceived

We have many things to celebrate that the data tells us we are doing well particularly in the area of leadership school culture and safety

These are positive things to be doing well at and are key to creating an overall environment that support students and staff to grow and

achieve

While there are many positive aspects of our school we still have work to do done and areas to growimproveThis will continue to be the

focus of our SIP and our day to day work Finally it is important to note that even with these areas to improve we do have systems in place

that will help us do this It will simply require a greater focus in these areas

28b Summary

How might the challenges identified in the demographic process and perception data impact student achievement

Whenever you are aware of a challenge it provides an opportunity to grow and improve When we are able to improve these areas then

students will see the results This includes a greater focus on our short-comings that in the end will help students

28c Summary

How will these challenges be addressed in the School Improvement Plans Goals Measurable Objectives Strategies and Activities

for the upcoming year For Priority Schools which of these high need areas will inform the Big Ideas and the ReformRedesign

Plan

In reference to our achievement data FHS will continue our SIP goals focused on improving students reading writing and math skills

These key literacy skills are areas where we need to keep our focus to see greater improvement and growth in our standardized testing data

The other data indicates a need to keep focused on the affective components of our school This means that we will continue our

affectivebehavioral goal around PEAK our positive behavior intervention program The continued focus on both the academic and

affective components of schools data will allow our SIP to reflect where we are as a school and where we are headed

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School

Introduction

The School Data Analysis (SDA) is a diagnostic tool intended to facilitate rich and deep collaborative discussions among staff members

about school data The SDA can serve as a guide to determine a schoolrsquos strengths and challenges as well as directions for improvement

based on an analysis of data and responses to a series of data - related questions in content areas This data collection and analysis process

should include the identification of achievement gaps as well as reflections on possible causes for these gaps This diagnostic represents the

various types of data that should be continuously collected reviewed analyzed and evaluated Completion of the SDA is one piece of a

schoolrsquos comprehensive needs assessment process

Demographic Data

Demographic data is data that provides descriptive information about the school community Examples may include enrollment attendance

grade levels raceethnicity gender students with disabilities English learners socio-economic status graduation rate

suspensionsexpulsions etc

Student Demographic Data

1 In looking at the three year trend in student enrollment data what challenges have been identified

Farmington High School as a part of the Farmington Public Schools is seeing declining enrollment across the system This declining

enrollment trend is due to many factors facing southeastern Michigan Specifically we are losing staff members and not able to offer the

same variety of courses as have been historically available This is also causing building use studies to take place and we may have to look

at closing schools which has an impact on all parts of the community

Student Demographic Data

2 In looking at the three year trend in student attendance data what challenges have been identified

Overall our student attendance rates for students in quite good However there are a handful of students who face challenges with their

attendance We utilize many avenues to address address attendance issues including county truancy officer support in severe situations

Overall our biggest challenges are first hour attendance and tardiness to school

Student Demographic Data

3 In looking at the three year trend in student behavior data (discipline referrals suspensions and expulsions) what challenges

have been identified

We have seen a steep decline in total number of student suspensions We have been focusing on changing practices to offer alternatives to

suspension whenever possibleWe have also may attempts to eliminate progressive discipline policies We have also seen a decline in total

number of discipline referrals and expulsions The challenges that remain are to continue this work and also to examine more ways to be

proactive in supporting students so they do not need disciplinary consequences at all

Student Demographic Data

4 What action(s) could be taken to address any identified challenges with student demographic data

We need to continue to build positive relationships with students and families to help curb the declining enrollment issuesWe also want to

continue examining ways to keep suspension numbers down and kids in school so

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

5 As you review the number of years of teaching and administrative experience of the school leader(s) in your building what

impact might this have on student achievement

SY 2015-2016 Page 13 copy 2015 Advance Education Inc All rights reserved unless otherwise granted by written agreement

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School

We have a seasoned staff both in teaching and administration This experience offers much insight into the challenges we face as a school

and the potential solutions that exist The more experienced the staff the higher achievement is likely to be Teachers are confident in the

content they teach and have established routines to rely upon However it is important to note that practices need to be continually

examined and past practices are not always the best practices Our staff strikes a nice balance between reliance on time-tested practices

and being open to new approaches

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

6 As you review the number of years of teaching experience of teachers in your building what impact might this have on student

achievement

Our teachers have been teaching on average more than 10 years This experience allows for a solid foundation on which our school is

built This experienced staff offers students lots of support and they have proven track record of supporting students and facilitating high

levels of student achievement

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

7 As you review the total number of days for school leader absences and note how many were due to professional learning and or

due to illness what impact might this have on student achievement

Our school leaders are not absent very often Occasionally an absence occurs but it is sporadic and only consists of a day here or there

The school leaders do attend a number of meetings and PD sessions but it does not have a negative impact on student achievement In

fact attending these meetings helps the leaders to define the scope of the work for FHS and sets the standards for district expectations

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

8 As you review the total number of days for teacher absences due to professional learning andor illness what impact might this

have on student achievement

Overall teacher attendance is good We do not experience high levels of teacher absenteeism day to day There are occasions where we

have a lot of teachers out and this can be a challenge When substitutes are in the classes learning is slowed It is difficult to replace a

regular classroom teacher When this happens it is short-lived and this is not an overarching problem for us at FHS

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

9 What actions might be taken to address any identified challenges regarding teacherschool leader demographics

We need to continue keeping FHS a place where students and staff want to be This way absenteeism is not a large negative factor We

can continue to monitor and revise our attendance expectations for students to find effective ways to help students attend school all day on a

regular basis

Process Data

Process data is information about the practices and procedures schools use to plan deliver and monitor curriculum instruction and

assessment

10 In reviewing the results of the School Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment what

strandsstandardsindicators stand out as strengths

We were rated highest in the following categories

-Purpose and direction

-Governance and Leadership

Within those categories were rated a level 3 on the schools leadership being committed to a culture of shared values and beliefs and the

schools leadership implementing a continuous improvement process that provides a clear direction for improving conditions that support

student learning We were also rated a level 3 having a governing body that establishes polices and supports practices that ensure effective

administration of the school and operates responsibly and functions effectively Additionally a level 3 was given for leadership and staff

members who foster a culture consistent with the schools purpose and direction and for having an evaluation system that results in improved

professional practice and student success

11 In reviewing the results of the School Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment what

strandsstandardsindicators stand out as challenges

The area where we were rated lowest was using results for continuous improvement In this areas several level 2 ratings were given in the

following areas

-the schools maintaining a clearly defined and comprehensive student assessment system

-professional and support staff continuously collect analyze and apply learning from a range of data sources including comparison and

trend data and students learning instruction program evaluation and organizational conditions

-professional and support staff are trained in the evaluation interpretation and use of data

-The school engages in a continuous process to determine verifiable improvement in student learning including readiness for learning

including readiness for and success at the next level

12 How might these challenges impact student achievement

It is clear we have created a culture and system that support students and staff to put achievement at the forefront of what we do Now we

need to get better at using data to inform and enhance our instruction in a planned and purposeful way The environment is right for change

and growth now we need to ensure we are deliberating implementing the right things to cause change to occur

SY 2015-2016 Page 15 copy 2015 Advance Education Inc All rights reserved unless otherwise granted by written agreement

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School

13 What actions could be taken and incorporated into the School Improvement Plan to address these challenges from the School

Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment

One important action step that can be taken is to place greater focus on the use of data to inform our instruction in a purposeful way We

have the right structures in place to support this work This is really the next natural step in our path to continuous improvement

14How do you ensure that students with disabilities have access to the full array of intervention programs available ie Title I Title

III Section 31a IDEA credit recovery extended learning opportunities

Students with disabilities have access to all of our classes at FHS Students individualized plans (504 Plans or IEPs) are monitored regularly

with administrator oversight to ensure plans are being followed and implemented and that students goals are being met This includes

ensuring that all students have access to our full array of intervention programs

15 Describe the Extended Learning Opportunities that are available for students and in what grades they are available

The idea of an extended learning opportunity is general and includes may things available to students at FHS We offer after school tutoring

3 days a week with teachers there to support students along with peer tutors We also offer additional help in classrooms with content area

teachers and their students This is done before or after school or during lunch We offer a full array of extra-curricular and co-curricular

activities as well as a full compliment of athletic opportunities These and more are available to students of all grades (9-12) at FHS We

consider all of these opportunities to be extended learning opportunities for students

16 What is the process for identifying students for Extended Learning Opportunities and how are parents notified of these

opportunities

Many of the opportunities listed previously are optional for students and we notify parents of this information via listserv emails our weekly

newsletter and our schools website This is also done through teacher-to-parent communication In the case of after-school tutoring or extra

help in classrooms teachers contact parents by phone or email about expectations and opportunities We also use a General Education

Support Team who meets regularly to identify struggling students and offers to provide support to these students through these various

opportunities

17 What evidence do you have to indicate the extent to which the state content standards are being implemented with fidelity ie

horizontal and vertical alignment in all content courses and grade levels

Our district curriculum has begun a review process in the last year in part due to our change from trimesters to semesters Course content

was reviewed and compared to the appropriate standards Changes were made according to the review and now through the growth and

evaluation model administrators and teacher leaders will ensure that this revised curriculum will be implemented as expected in each of our

classrooms

FHS students are growing in this area

20b Writing- Challenges

Similar to math students can and do have an aversion to writing Despite our focus on writing and specific aspects of writing we continue to

Summary

28a Summary

Briefly summarize the strengths and challenges identified in the four kinds of data-demographic process achievementoutcomes

and perception

An analysis of the data is an important part of any organization that is reflective in nature Using a multi-tiered approach to reviewing the

data is key to understand the larger scope of the organization and how it is perceived

We have many things to celebrate that the data tells us we are doing well particularly in the area of leadership school culture and safety

These are positive things to be doing well at and are key to creating an overall environment that support students and staff to grow and

achieve

While there are many positive aspects of our school we still have work to do done and areas to growimproveThis will continue to be the

focus of our SIP and our day to day work Finally it is important to note that even with these areas to improve we do have systems in place

that will help us do this It will simply require a greater focus in these areas

28b Summary

How might the challenges identified in the demographic process and perception data impact student achievement

Whenever you are aware of a challenge it provides an opportunity to grow and improve When we are able to improve these areas then

students will see the results This includes a greater focus on our short-comings that in the end will help students

28c Summary

How will these challenges be addressed in the School Improvement Plans Goals Measurable Objectives Strategies and Activities

for the upcoming year For Priority Schools which of these high need areas will inform the Big Ideas and the ReformRedesign

Plan

In reference to our achievement data FHS will continue our SIP goals focused on improving students reading writing and math skills

These key literacy skills are areas where we need to keep our focus to see greater improvement and growth in our standardized testing data

The other data indicates a need to keep focused on the affective components of our school This means that we will continue our

affectivebehavioral goal around PEAK our positive behavior intervention program The continued focus on both the academic and

affective components of schools data will allow our SIP to reflect where we are as a school and where we are headed

Introduction

The School Data Analysis (SDA) is a diagnostic tool intended to facilitate rich and deep collaborative discussions among staff members

about school data The SDA can serve as a guide to determine a schoolrsquos strengths and challenges as well as directions for improvement

based on an analysis of data and responses to a series of data - related questions in content areas This data collection and analysis process

should include the identification of achievement gaps as well as reflections on possible causes for these gaps This diagnostic represents the

various types of data that should be continuously collected reviewed analyzed and evaluated Completion of the SDA is one piece of a

Demographic Data

Demographic data is data that provides descriptive information about the school community Examples may include enrollment attendance

grade levels raceethnicity gender students with disabilities English learners socio-economic status graduation rate

suspensionsexpulsions etc

Student Demographic Data

1 In looking at the three year trend in student enrollment data what challenges have been identified

Farmington High School as a part of the Farmington Public Schools is seeing declining enrollment across the system This declining

enrollment trend is due to many factors facing southeastern Michigan Specifically we are losing staff members and not able to offer the

same variety of courses as have been historically available This is also causing building use studies to take place and we may have to look

at closing schools which has an impact on all parts of the community

Student Demographic Data

2 In looking at the three year trend in student attendance data what challenges have been identified

Overall our student attendance rates for students in quite good However there are a handful of students who face challenges with their

attendance We utilize many avenues to address address attendance issues including county truancy officer support in severe situations

Overall our biggest challenges are first hour attendance and tardiness to school

Student Demographic Data

3 In looking at the three year trend in student behavior data (discipline referrals suspensions and expulsions) what challenges

have been identified

We have seen a steep decline in total number of student suspensions We have been focusing on changing practices to offer alternatives to

suspension whenever possibleWe have also may attempts to eliminate progressive discipline policies We have also seen a decline in total

number of discipline referrals and expulsions The challenges that remain are to continue this work and also to examine more ways to be

proactive in supporting students so they do not need disciplinary consequences at all

Student Demographic Data

4 What action(s) could be taken to address any identified challenges with student demographic data

We need to continue to build positive relationships with students and families to help curb the declining enrollment issuesWe also want to

continue examining ways to keep suspension numbers down and kids in school so

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

5 As you review the number of years of teaching and administrative experience of the school leader(s) in your building what

impact might this have on student achievement

SY 2015-2016 Page 13 copy 2015 Advance Education Inc All rights reserved unless otherwise granted by written agreement

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School

We have a seasoned staff both in teaching and administration This experience offers much insight into the challenges we face as a school

and the potential solutions that exist The more experienced the staff the higher achievement is likely to be Teachers are confident in the

content they teach and have established routines to rely upon However it is important to note that practices need to be continually

examined and past practices are not always the best practices Our staff strikes a nice balance between reliance on time-tested practices

and being open to new approaches

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

6 As you review the number of years of teaching experience of teachers in your building what impact might this have on student

achievement

Our teachers have been teaching on average more than 10 years This experience allows for a solid foundation on which our school is

built This experienced staff offers students lots of support and they have proven track record of supporting students and facilitating high

levels of student achievement

7 As you review the total number of days for school leader absences and note how many were due to professional learning and or

due to illness what impact might this have on student achievement

Our school leaders are not absent very often Occasionally an absence occurs but it is sporadic and only consists of a day here or there

The school leaders do attend a number of meetings and PD sessions but it does not have a negative impact on student achievement In

fact attending these meetings helps the leaders to define the scope of the work for FHS and sets the standards for district expectations

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

8 As you review the total number of days for teacher absences due to professional learning andor illness what impact might this

have on student achievement

Overall teacher attendance is good We do not experience high levels of teacher absenteeism day to day There are occasions where we

have a lot of teachers out and this can be a challenge When substitutes are in the classes learning is slowed It is difficult to replace a

regular classroom teacher When this happens it is short-lived and this is not an overarching problem for us at FHS

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

9 What actions might be taken to address any identified challenges regarding teacherschool leader demographics

We need to continue keeping FHS a place where students and staff want to be This way absenteeism is not a large negative factor We

can continue to monitor and revise our attendance expectations for students to find effective ways to help students attend school all day on a

regular basis

Process Data

Process data is information about the practices and procedures schools use to plan deliver and monitor curriculum instruction and

assessment

10 In reviewing the results of the School Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment what

strandsstandardsindicators stand out as strengths

We were rated highest in the following categories

-Purpose and direction

-Governance and Leadership

Within those categories were rated a level 3 on the schools leadership being committed to a culture of shared values and beliefs and the

schools leadership implementing a continuous improvement process that provides a clear direction for improving conditions that support

student learning We were also rated a level 3 having a governing body that establishes polices and supports practices that ensure effective

administration of the school and operates responsibly and functions effectively Additionally a level 3 was given for leadership and staff

members who foster a culture consistent with the schools purpose and direction and for having an evaluation system that results in improved

professional practice and student success

11 In reviewing the results of the School Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment what

strandsstandardsindicators stand out as challenges

The area where we were rated lowest was using results for continuous improvement In this areas several level 2 ratings were given in the

following areas

-the schools maintaining a clearly defined and comprehensive student assessment system

-professional and support staff continuously collect analyze and apply learning from a range of data sources including comparison and

trend data and students learning instruction program evaluation and organizational conditions

-professional and support staff are trained in the evaluation interpretation and use of data

-The school engages in a continuous process to determine verifiable improvement in student learning including readiness for learning

including readiness for and success at the next level

12 How might these challenges impact student achievement

It is clear we have created a culture and system that support students and staff to put achievement at the forefront of what we do Now we

need to get better at using data to inform and enhance our instruction in a planned and purposeful way The environment is right for change

and growth now we need to ensure we are deliberating implementing the right things to cause change to occur

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School

13 What actions could be taken and incorporated into the School Improvement Plan to address these challenges from the School

Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment

One important action step that can be taken is to place greater focus on the use of data to inform our instruction in a purposeful way We

have the right structures in place to support this work This is really the next natural step in our path to continuous improvement

14How do you ensure that students with disabilities have access to the full array of intervention programs available ie Title I Title

III Section 31a IDEA credit recovery extended learning opportunities

Students with disabilities have access to all of our classes at FHS Students individualized plans (504 Plans or IEPs) are monitored regularly

with administrator oversight to ensure plans are being followed and implemented and that students goals are being met This includes

ensuring that all students have access to our full array of intervention programs

15 Describe the Extended Learning Opportunities that are available for students and in what grades they are available

The idea of an extended learning opportunity is general and includes may things available to students at FHS We offer after school tutoring

3 days a week with teachers there to support students along with peer tutors We also offer additional help in classrooms with content area

teachers and their students This is done before or after school or during lunch We offer a full array of extra-curricular and co-curricular

activities as well as a full compliment of athletic opportunities These and more are available to students of all grades (9-12) at FHS We

consider all of these opportunities to be extended learning opportunities for students

16 What is the process for identifying students for Extended Learning Opportunities and how are parents notified of these

opportunities

Many of the opportunities listed previously are optional for students and we notify parents of this information via listserv emails our weekly

newsletter and our schools website This is also done through teacher-to-parent communication In the case of after-school tutoring or extra

help in classrooms teachers contact parents by phone or email about expectations and opportunities We also use a General Education

Support Team who meets regularly to identify struggling students and offers to provide support to these students through these various

opportunities

17 What evidence do you have to indicate the extent to which the state content standards are being implemented with fidelity ie

horizontal and vertical alignment in all content courses and grade levels

Our district curriculum has begun a review process in the last year in part due to our change from trimesters to semesters Course content

was reviewed and compared to the appropriate standards Changes were made according to the review and now through the growth and

evaluation model administrators and teacher leaders will ensure that this revised curriculum will be implemented as expected in each of our

classrooms

19a Reading- Strengths

Historically FHS has done well in the area of English on the ACT Specifically FHS ACT College Readiness trend data has indicated we are

above state levels in reading and English and have made steady gains over the past several years

19b Reading- Challenges

Reading to access content continues to be an area we want to focus on at FHS This focus impacts all departments because reading is a

critical literacy skill that matters in all subject areasThrough the use of Readers Apprenticeship strategies we hope to engage students in

effective reading strategies that increases their understanding of all content areas

19c Reading- Trends

FHS has seen an increase in reading scores according to the ACT over the past few years However classroom teachers continue to find

frustration in our students abilities to read technical information and to access content in other areas outside English We will be making this

one of our focus in the coming year

We will be learning about and applying strategies from Readers Apprentice at FHS to address the issue of reading for content understanding

This is also in line with district expectations and standards

20a Writing- Strengths

Writing has been the focus many student growth goals and PLT goals Through this goal-setting process and the work that goes along with

it we have seen gains in specific areas related to writing For example there has been a greater focus on providing enough evidence in

writing to support the writers thesis or claim Through the use of common language and expectation classroom-based data indicates that

FHS students are growing in this area

20b Writing- Challenges

Similar to math students can and do have an aversion to writing Despite our focus on writing and specific aspects of writing we continue to

have more work to do in this areaWe will continue to make this a focus of student growth goals and PLT goals going forward In the past

under the trimester model there was limited time to assign multiple writing tasks now with our semester model each class will have more

time making writing more likely to be assigned

20c Writing- Trends

While we have seen some specific areas where improvements have been made based on classroom-level grades we continue to see this an

area needing more growth While our scores are above state levels we still see this as a place for continued focus and growth

21a Math- Strengths

In the area of math again we are above state levels however we have seen a plateau of math scores over the past few years on ACT We

have seen a slight reduction of math failures but this remains an area where growth is needed Students who take our AP math classes

continue to do well on AP tests and are successful in the class as well

21b Math- Challenges

Despite a decrease in math failures the rate at which students fail math is still too high This will continue to be a part of our FHS SIP to

address achievement levels in math

gap in science At the classroom level science teachers have been focusing on students ability to graph relevant data and use graphs to

understand key data and glean informationThis has been an area of great focus over the past few year and classroom level data indicates

that students are making large gains in this specific area of focus

22b Science- Challenges

As with many subject areas an achievement gap exists for students in the area of science Therefore we need to continue our focus on

helping students to access and succeed at this technical content through specific focus on areas of weakness For example using reading

and other literacy strategies to understand difficult content and succeed with science curriculum

22c Science- Trends

While our efforts have yielded some slight gains in closing the achievement gap in the area of science more work is still needed We need

to continue our focus on individualized instruction so all students are mastering the science standards

Summary

28a Summary

Briefly summarize the strengths and challenges identified in the four kinds of data-demographic process achievementoutcomes

and perception

An analysis of the data is an important part of any organization that is reflective in nature Using a multi-tiered approach to reviewing the

data is key to understand the larger scope of the organization and how it is perceived

We have many things to celebrate that the data tells us we are doing well particularly in the area of leadership school culture and safety

These are positive things to be doing well at and are key to creating an overall environment that support students and staff to grow and

achieve

While there are many positive aspects of our school we still have work to do done and areas to growimproveThis will continue to be the

focus of our SIP and our day to day work Finally it is important to note that even with these areas to improve we do have systems in place

that will help us do this It will simply require a greater focus in these areas

28b Summary

How might the challenges identified in the demographic process and perception data impact student achievement

Whenever you are aware of a challenge it provides an opportunity to grow and improve When we are able to improve these areas then

students will see the results This includes a greater focus on our short-comings that in the end will help students

28c Summary

How will these challenges be addressed in the School Improvement Plans Goals Measurable Objectives Strategies and Activities

for the upcoming year For Priority Schools which of these high need areas will inform the Big Ideas and the ReformRedesign

Plan

In reference to our achievement data FHS will continue our SIP goals focused on improving students reading writing and math skills

These key literacy skills are areas where we need to keep our focus to see greater improvement and growth in our standardized testing data

The other data indicates a need to keep focused on the affective components of our school This means that we will continue our

affectivebehavioral goal around PEAK our positive behavior intervention program The continued focus on both the academic and

affective components of schools data will allow our SIP to reflect where we are as a school and where we are headed

Improvement Planning Process

Describe the process used to engage a variety of stakeholders in the development of the institutions improvement plan Include

information on how stakeholders were selected and informed of their roles and how meetings were scheduled to accommodate

them

In regards to the School Improvement Process (SIP) the SIP team was selected using a variety of staff of varing expertise These staff were

invited to join the SIP and given the opportunity to accept the invitation Once they became a member of the team roles were given based

upon the team members strengths and well as their willingness to accept the role SIP meetings are scheduled at the district level and are

done the previous year

Describe the representations from stakeholder groups that participated in the development of the improvement plan and their

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School

Introduction

The School Data Analysis (SDA) is a diagnostic tool intended to facilitate rich and deep collaborative discussions among staff members

about school data The SDA can serve as a guide to determine a schoolrsquos strengths and challenges as well as directions for improvement

based on an analysis of data and responses to a series of data - related questions in content areas This data collection and analysis process

should include the identification of achievement gaps as well as reflections on possible causes for these gaps This diagnostic represents the

various types of data that should be continuously collected reviewed analyzed and evaluated Completion of the SDA is one piece of a

schoolrsquos comprehensive needs assessment process

Demographic Data

Demographic data is data that provides descriptive information about the school community Examples may include enrollment attendance

grade levels raceethnicity gender students with disabilities English learners socio-economic status graduation rate

suspensionsexpulsions etc

Student Demographic Data

1 In looking at the three year trend in student enrollment data what challenges have been identified

Farmington High School as a part of the Farmington Public Schools is seeing declining enrollment across the system This declining

enrollment trend is due to many factors facing southeastern Michigan Specifically we are losing staff members and not able to offer the

same variety of courses as have been historically available This is also causing building use studies to take place and we may have to look

at closing schools which has an impact on all parts of the community

Student Demographic Data

2 In looking at the three year trend in student attendance data what challenges have been identified

Overall our student attendance rates for students in quite good However there are a handful of students who face challenges with their

attendance We utilize many avenues to address address attendance issues including county truancy officer support in severe situations

Overall our biggest challenges are first hour attendance and tardiness to school

Student Demographic Data

3 In looking at the three year trend in student behavior data (discipline referrals suspensions and expulsions) what challenges

have been identified

We have seen a steep decline in total number of student suspensions We have been focusing on changing practices to offer alternatives to

suspension whenever possibleWe have also may attempts to eliminate progressive discipline policies We have also seen a decline in total

number of discipline referrals and expulsions The challenges that remain are to continue this work and also to examine more ways to be

proactive in supporting students so they do not need disciplinary consequences at all

Student Demographic Data

4 What action(s) could be taken to address any identified challenges with student demographic data

We need to continue to build positive relationships with students and families to help curb the declining enrollment issuesWe also want to

continue examining ways to keep suspension numbers down and kids in school so

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

5 As you review the number of years of teaching and administrative experience of the school leader(s) in your building what

impact might this have on student achievement

SY 2015-2016 Page 13 copy 2015 Advance Education Inc All rights reserved unless otherwise granted by written agreement

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School

We have a seasoned staff both in teaching and administration This experience offers much insight into the challenges we face as a school

and the potential solutions that exist The more experienced the staff the higher achievement is likely to be Teachers are confident in the

content they teach and have established routines to rely upon However it is important to note that practices need to be continually

examined and past practices are not always the best practices Our staff strikes a nice balance between reliance on time-tested practices

and being open to new approaches

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

6 As you review the number of years of teaching experience of teachers in your building what impact might this have on student

achievement

Our teachers have been teaching on average more than 10 years This experience allows for a solid foundation on which our school is

built This experienced staff offers students lots of support and they have proven track record of supporting students and facilitating high

levels of student achievement

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

7 As you review the total number of days for school leader absences and note how many were due to professional learning and or

due to illness what impact might this have on student achievement

Our school leaders are not absent very often Occasionally an absence occurs but it is sporadic and only consists of a day here or there

The school leaders do attend a number of meetings and PD sessions but it does not have a negative impact on student achievement In

fact attending these meetings helps the leaders to define the scope of the work for FHS and sets the standards for district expectations

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

8 As you review the total number of days for teacher absences due to professional learning andor illness what impact might this

have on student achievement

Overall teacher attendance is good We do not experience high levels of teacher absenteeism day to day There are occasions where we

have a lot of teachers out and this can be a challenge When substitutes are in the classes learning is slowed It is difficult to replace a

regular classroom teacher When this happens it is short-lived and this is not an overarching problem for us at FHS

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

9 What actions might be taken to address any identified challenges regarding teacherschool leader demographics

We need to continue keeping FHS a place where students and staff want to be This way absenteeism is not a large negative factor We

can continue to monitor and revise our attendance expectations for students to find effective ways to help students attend school all day on a

regular basis

Process Data

Process data is information about the practices and procedures schools use to plan deliver and monitor curriculum instruction and

assessment

10 In reviewing the results of the School Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment what

strandsstandardsindicators stand out as strengths

We were rated highest in the following categories

-Purpose and direction

-Governance and Leadership

Within those categories were rated a level 3 on the schools leadership being committed to a culture of shared values and beliefs and the

schools leadership implementing a continuous improvement process that provides a clear direction for improving conditions that support

student learning We were also rated a level 3 having a governing body that establishes polices and supports practices that ensure effective

administration of the school and operates responsibly and functions effectively Additionally a level 3 was given for leadership and staff

members who foster a culture consistent with the schools purpose and direction and for having an evaluation system that results in improved

professional practice and student success

11 In reviewing the results of the School Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment what

strandsstandardsindicators stand out as challenges

The area where we were rated lowest was using results for continuous improvement In this areas several level 2 ratings were given in the

following areas

-the schools maintaining a clearly defined and comprehensive student assessment system

-professional and support staff continuously collect analyze and apply learning from a range of data sources including comparison and

trend data and students learning instruction program evaluation and organizational conditions

-professional and support staff are trained in the evaluation interpretation and use of data

-The school engages in a continuous process to determine verifiable improvement in student learning including readiness for learning

including readiness for and success at the next level

12 How might these challenges impact student achievement

It is clear we have created a culture and system that support students and staff to put achievement at the forefront of what we do Now we

need to get better at using data to inform and enhance our instruction in a planned and purposeful way The environment is right for change

and growth now we need to ensure we are deliberating implementing the right things to cause change to occur

SY 2015-2016 Page 15 copy 2015 Advance Education Inc All rights reserved unless otherwise granted by written agreement

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School

13 What actions could be taken and incorporated into the School Improvement Plan to address these challenges from the School

Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment

One important action step that can be taken is to place greater focus on the use of data to inform our instruction in a purposeful way We

have the right structures in place to support this work This is really the next natural step in our path to continuous improvement

14How do you ensure that students with disabilities have access to the full array of intervention programs available ie Title I Title

III Section 31a IDEA credit recovery extended learning opportunities

Students with disabilities have access to all of our classes at FHS Students individualized plans (504 Plans or IEPs) are monitored regularly

with administrator oversight to ensure plans are being followed and implemented and that students goals are being met This includes

ensuring that all students have access to our full array of intervention programs

15 Describe the Extended Learning Opportunities that are available for students and in what grades they are available

The idea of an extended learning opportunity is general and includes may things available to students at FHS We offer after school tutoring

3 days a week with teachers there to support students along with peer tutors We also offer additional help in classrooms with content area

teachers and their students This is done before or after school or during lunch We offer a full array of extra-curricular and co-curricular

activities as well as a full compliment of athletic opportunities These and more are available to students of all grades (9-12) at FHS We

consider all of these opportunities to be extended learning opportunities for students

16 What is the process for identifying students for Extended Learning Opportunities and how are parents notified of these

opportunities

Many of the opportunities listed previously are optional for students and we notify parents of this information via listserv emails our weekly

newsletter and our schools website This is also done through teacher-to-parent communication In the case of after-school tutoring or extra

help in classrooms teachers contact parents by phone or email about expectations and opportunities We also use a General Education

Support Team who meets regularly to identify struggling students and offers to provide support to these students through these various

opportunities

17 What evidence do you have to indicate the extent to which the state content standards are being implemented with fidelity ie

horizontal and vertical alignment in all content courses and grade levels

Our district curriculum has begun a review process in the last year in part due to our change from trimesters to semesters Course content

was reviewed and compared to the appropriate standards Changes were made according to the review and now through the growth and

evaluation model administrators and teacher leaders will ensure that this revised curriculum will be implemented as expected in each of our

classrooms

19a Reading- Strengths

Historically FHS has done well in the area of English on the ACT Specifically FHS ACT College Readiness trend data has indicated we are

above state levels in reading and English and have made steady gains over the past several years

19b Reading- Challenges

Reading to access content continues to be an area we want to focus on at FHS This focus impacts all departments because reading is a

critical literacy skill that matters in all subject areasThrough the use of Readers Apprenticeship strategies we hope to engage students in

effective reading strategies that increases their understanding of all content areas

19c Reading- Trends

FHS has seen an increase in reading scores according to the ACT over the past few years However classroom teachers continue to find

frustration in our students abilities to read technical information and to access content in other areas outside English We will be making this

one of our focus in the coming year

19d Reading- Summary

We will be learning about and applying strategies from Readers Apprentice at FHS to address the issue of reading for content understanding

This is also in line with district expectations and standards

20a Writing- Strengths

Writing has been the focus many student growth goals and PLT goals Through this goal-setting process and the work that goes along with

it we have seen gains in specific areas related to writing For example there has been a greater focus on providing enough evidence in

writing to support the writers thesis or claim Through the use of common language and expectation classroom-based data indicates that

FHS students are growing in this area

20b Writing- Challenges

Similar to math students can and do have an aversion to writing Despite our focus on writing and specific aspects of writing we continue to

have more work to do in this areaWe will continue to make this a focus of student growth goals and PLT goals going forward In the past

under the trimester model there was limited time to assign multiple writing tasks now with our semester model each class will have more

time making writing more likely to be assigned

20c Writing- Trends

While we have seen some specific areas where improvements have been made based on classroom-level grades we continue to see this an

area needing more growth While our scores are above state levels we still see this as a place for continued focus and growth

20d Writing- Summary

Summarize how these challenges will be addressed in your School Improvement Plan Indicate Not Applicable (NA) if there is no

that supports one of our SIP goalsTherefore writing will continue to be a focus for our school Also with our lengthened terms teachers will

have more time to focus on writing in each of our classrooms

21a Math- Strengths

In the area of math again we are above state levels however we have seen a plateau of math scores over the past few years on ACT We

have seen a slight reduction of math failures but this remains an area where growth is needed Students who take our AP math classes

continue to do well on AP tests and are successful in the class as well

21b Math- Challenges

Despite a decrease in math failures the rate at which students fail math is still too high This will continue to be a part of our FHS SIP to

address achievement levels in math

21c Math- Trends

Math continues to be a goal area for FHS Failure rates are still too high and require us to continue to examine our instructional approach to

math seeking changes to how math is taught and assessed

Overall FHS has been seeing gains in the area of science on the ACT and specific subgroups haven see a slight closure of the achievement

gap in science At the classroom level science teachers have been focusing on students ability to graph relevant data and use graphs to

understand key data and glean informationThis has been an area of great focus over the past few year and classroom level data indicates

that students are making large gains in this specific area of focus

22b Science- Challenges

As with many subject areas an achievement gap exists for students in the area of science Therefore we need to continue our focus on

helping students to access and succeed at this technical content through specific focus on areas of weakness For example using reading

and other literacy strategies to understand difficult content and succeed with science curriculum

22c Science- Trends

While our efforts have yielded some slight gains in closing the achievement gap in the area of science more work is still needed We need

to continue our focus on individualized instruction so all students are mastering the science standards

Summary

28a Summary

Briefly summarize the strengths and challenges identified in the four kinds of data-demographic process achievementoutcomes

and perception

An analysis of the data is an important part of any organization that is reflective in nature Using a multi-tiered approach to reviewing the

data is key to understand the larger scope of the organization and how it is perceived

We have many things to celebrate that the data tells us we are doing well particularly in the area of leadership school culture and safety

These are positive things to be doing well at and are key to creating an overall environment that support students and staff to grow and

achieve

While there are many positive aspects of our school we still have work to do done and areas to growimproveThis will continue to be the

focus of our SIP and our day to day work Finally it is important to note that even with these areas to improve we do have systems in place

that will help us do this It will simply require a greater focus in these areas

28b Summary

How might the challenges identified in the demographic process and perception data impact student achievement

Whenever you are aware of a challenge it provides an opportunity to grow and improve When we are able to improve these areas then

students will see the results This includes a greater focus on our short-comings that in the end will help students

28c Summary

How will these challenges be addressed in the School Improvement Plans Goals Measurable Objectives Strategies and Activities

for the upcoming year For Priority Schools which of these high need areas will inform the Big Ideas and the ReformRedesign

Plan

In reference to our achievement data FHS will continue our SIP goals focused on improving students reading writing and math skills

These key literacy skills are areas where we need to keep our focus to see greater improvement and growth in our standardized testing data

The other data indicates a need to keep focused on the affective components of our school This means that we will continue our

affectivebehavioral goal around PEAK our positive behavior intervention program The continued focus on both the academic and

affective components of schools data will allow our SIP to reflect where we are as a school and where we are headed

Demographic Data

Demographic data is data that provides descriptive information about the school community Examples may include enrollment attendance

grade levels raceethnicity gender students with disabilities English learners socio-economic status graduation rate

suspensionsexpulsions etc

Student Demographic Data

1 In looking at the three year trend in student enrollment data what challenges have been identified

Farmington High School as a part of the Farmington Public Schools is seeing declining enrollment across the system This declining

enrollment trend is due to many factors facing southeastern Michigan Specifically we are losing staff members and not able to offer the

same variety of courses as have been historically available This is also causing building use studies to take place and we may have to look

at closing schools which has an impact on all parts of the community

Student Demographic Data

2 In looking at the three year trend in student attendance data what challenges have been identified

Overall our student attendance rates for students in quite good However there are a handful of students who face challenges with their

attendance We utilize many avenues to address address attendance issues including county truancy officer support in severe situations

Overall our biggest challenges are first hour attendance and tardiness to school

Student Demographic Data

3 In looking at the three year trend in student behavior data (discipline referrals suspensions and expulsions) what challenges

have been identified

We have seen a steep decline in total number of student suspensions We have been focusing on changing practices to offer alternatives to

suspension whenever possibleWe have also may attempts to eliminate progressive discipline policies We have also seen a decline in total

number of discipline referrals and expulsions The challenges that remain are to continue this work and also to examine more ways to be

proactive in supporting students so they do not need disciplinary consequences at all

Student Demographic Data

4 What action(s) could be taken to address any identified challenges with student demographic data

We need to continue to build positive relationships with students and families to help curb the declining enrollment issuesWe also want to

continue examining ways to keep suspension numbers down and kids in school so

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

5 As you review the number of years of teaching and administrative experience of the school leader(s) in your building what

impact might this have on student achievement

SY 2015-2016 Page 13 copy 2015 Advance Education Inc All rights reserved unless otherwise granted by written agreement

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School

We have a seasoned staff both in teaching and administration This experience offers much insight into the challenges we face as a school

and the potential solutions that exist The more experienced the staff the higher achievement is likely to be Teachers are confident in the

content they teach and have established routines to rely upon However it is important to note that practices need to be continually

examined and past practices are not always the best practices Our staff strikes a nice balance between reliance on time-tested practices

and being open to new approaches

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

6 As you review the number of years of teaching experience of teachers in your building what impact might this have on student

achievement

Our teachers have been teaching on average more than 10 years This experience allows for a solid foundation on which our school is

built This experienced staff offers students lots of support and they have proven track record of supporting students and facilitating high

levels of student achievement

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

7 As you review the total number of days for school leader absences and note how many were due to professional learning and or

due to illness what impact might this have on student achievement

Our school leaders are not absent very often Occasionally an absence occurs but it is sporadic and only consists of a day here or there

The school leaders do attend a number of meetings and PD sessions but it does not have a negative impact on student achievement In

fact attending these meetings helps the leaders to define the scope of the work for FHS and sets the standards for district expectations

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

8 As you review the total number of days for teacher absences due to professional learning andor illness what impact might this

have on student achievement

Overall teacher attendance is good We do not experience high levels of teacher absenteeism day to day There are occasions where we

have a lot of teachers out and this can be a challenge When substitutes are in the classes learning is slowed It is difficult to replace a

regular classroom teacher When this happens it is short-lived and this is not an overarching problem for us at FHS

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

9 What actions might be taken to address any identified challenges regarding teacherschool leader demographics

We need to continue keeping FHS a place where students and staff want to be This way absenteeism is not a large negative factor We

can continue to monitor and revise our attendance expectations for students to find effective ways to help students attend school all day on a

regular basis

Process Data

Process data is information about the practices and procedures schools use to plan deliver and monitor curriculum instruction and

assessment

10 In reviewing the results of the School Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment what

strandsstandardsindicators stand out as strengths

We were rated highest in the following categories

-Purpose and direction

-Governance and Leadership

Within those categories were rated a level 3 on the schools leadership being committed to a culture of shared values and beliefs and the

schools leadership implementing a continuous improvement process that provides a clear direction for improving conditions that support

student learning We were also rated a level 3 having a governing body that establishes polices and supports practices that ensure effective

administration of the school and operates responsibly and functions effectively Additionally a level 3 was given for leadership and staff

members who foster a culture consistent with the schools purpose and direction and for having an evaluation system that results in improved

professional practice and student success

11 In reviewing the results of the School Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment what

strandsstandardsindicators stand out as challenges

The area where we were rated lowest was using results for continuous improvement In this areas several level 2 ratings were given in the

following areas

-the schools maintaining a clearly defined and comprehensive student assessment system

-professional and support staff continuously collect analyze and apply learning from a range of data sources including comparison and

trend data and students learning instruction program evaluation and organizational conditions

-professional and support staff are trained in the evaluation interpretation and use of data

-The school engages in a continuous process to determine verifiable improvement in student learning including readiness for learning

including readiness for and success at the next level

12 How might these challenges impact student achievement

It is clear we have created a culture and system that support students and staff to put achievement at the forefront of what we do Now we

need to get better at using data to inform and enhance our instruction in a planned and purposeful way The environment is right for change

and growth now we need to ensure we are deliberating implementing the right things to cause change to occur

SY 2015-2016 Page 15 copy 2015 Advance Education Inc All rights reserved unless otherwise granted by written agreement

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School

13 What actions could be taken and incorporated into the School Improvement Plan to address these challenges from the School

Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment

One important action step that can be taken is to place greater focus on the use of data to inform our instruction in a purposeful way We

have the right structures in place to support this work This is really the next natural step in our path to continuous improvement

14How do you ensure that students with disabilities have access to the full array of intervention programs available ie Title I Title

III Section 31a IDEA credit recovery extended learning opportunities

Students with disabilities have access to all of our classes at FHS Students individualized plans (504 Plans or IEPs) are monitored regularly

with administrator oversight to ensure plans are being followed and implemented and that students goals are being met This includes

ensuring that all students have access to our full array of intervention programs

15 Describe the Extended Learning Opportunities that are available for students and in what grades they are available

The idea of an extended learning opportunity is general and includes may things available to students at FHS We offer after school tutoring

3 days a week with teachers there to support students along with peer tutors We also offer additional help in classrooms with content area

teachers and their students This is done before or after school or during lunch We offer a full array of extra-curricular and co-curricular

activities as well as a full compliment of athletic opportunities These and more are available to students of all grades (9-12) at FHS We

consider all of these opportunities to be extended learning opportunities for students

16 What is the process for identifying students for Extended Learning Opportunities and how are parents notified of these

opportunities

Many of the opportunities listed previously are optional for students and we notify parents of this information via listserv emails our weekly

newsletter and our schools website This is also done through teacher-to-parent communication In the case of after-school tutoring or extra

help in classrooms teachers contact parents by phone or email about expectations and opportunities We also use a General Education

Support Team who meets regularly to identify struggling students and offers to provide support to these students through these various

opportunities

17 What evidence do you have to indicate the extent to which the state content standards are being implemented with fidelity ie

horizontal and vertical alignment in all content courses and grade levels

Our district curriculum has begun a review process in the last year in part due to our change from trimesters to semesters Course content

was reviewed and compared to the appropriate standards Changes were made according to the review and now through the growth and

evaluation model administrators and teacher leaders will ensure that this revised curriculum will be implemented as expected in each of our

classrooms

19a Reading- Strengths

Historically FHS has done well in the area of English on the ACT Specifically FHS ACT College Readiness trend data has indicated we are

above state levels in reading and English and have made steady gains over the past several years

19b Reading- Challenges

Reading to access content continues to be an area we want to focus on at FHS This focus impacts all departments because reading is a

critical literacy skill that matters in all subject areasThrough the use of Readers Apprenticeship strategies we hope to engage students in

effective reading strategies that increases their understanding of all content areas

19c Reading- Trends

FHS has seen an increase in reading scores according to the ACT over the past few years However classroom teachers continue to find

frustration in our students abilities to read technical information and to access content in other areas outside English We will be making this

one of our focus in the coming year

We will be learning about and applying strategies from Readers Apprentice at FHS to address the issue of reading for content understanding

This is also in line with district expectations and standards

20a Writing- Strengths

Writing has been the focus many student growth goals and PLT goals Through this goal-setting process and the work that goes along with

it we have seen gains in specific areas related to writing For example there has been a greater focus on providing enough evidence in

writing to support the writers thesis or claim Through the use of common language and expectation classroom-based data indicates that

FHS students are growing in this area

20b Writing- Challenges

Similar to math students can and do have an aversion to writing Despite our focus on writing and specific aspects of writing we continue to

have more work to do in this areaWe will continue to make this a focus of student growth goals and PLT goals going forward In the past

under the trimester model there was limited time to assign multiple writing tasks now with our semester model each class will have more

time making writing more likely to be assigned

20c Writing- Trends

While we have seen some specific areas where improvements have been made based on classroom-level grades we continue to see this an

area needing more growth While our scores are above state levels we still see this as a place for continued focus and growth

have more time to focus on writing in each of our classrooms

21a Math- Strengths

In the area of math again we are above state levels however we have seen a plateau of math scores over the past few years on ACT We

have seen a slight reduction of math failures but this remains an area where growth is needed Students who take our AP math classes

continue to do well on AP tests and are successful in the class as well

21b Math- Challenges

Despite a decrease in math failures the rate at which students fail math is still too high This will continue to be a part of our FHS SIP to

address achievement levels in math

Overall FHS has been seeing gains in the area of science on the ACT and specific subgroups haven see a slight closure of the achievement

gap in science At the classroom level science teachers have been focusing on students ability to graph relevant data and use graphs to

understand key data and glean informationThis has been an area of great focus over the past few year and classroom level data indicates

that students are making large gains in this specific area of focus

22b Science- Challenges

As with many subject areas an achievement gap exists for students in the area of science Therefore we need to continue our focus on

helping students to access and succeed at this technical content through specific focus on areas of weakness For example using reading

and other literacy strategies to understand difficult content and succeed with science curriculum

22c Science- Trends

While our efforts have yielded some slight gains in closing the achievement gap in the area of science more work is still needed We need

to continue our focus on individualized instruction so all students are mastering the science standards

Summary

28a Summary

Briefly summarize the strengths and challenges identified in the four kinds of data-demographic process achievementoutcomes

and perception

An analysis of the data is an important part of any organization that is reflective in nature Using a multi-tiered approach to reviewing the

data is key to understand the larger scope of the organization and how it is perceived

We have many things to celebrate that the data tells us we are doing well particularly in the area of leadership school culture and safety

These are positive things to be doing well at and are key to creating an overall environment that support students and staff to grow and

achieve

While there are many positive aspects of our school we still have work to do done and areas to growimproveThis will continue to be the

focus of our SIP and our day to day work Finally it is important to note that even with these areas to improve we do have systems in place

that will help us do this It will simply require a greater focus in these areas

28b Summary

How might the challenges identified in the demographic process and perception data impact student achievement

Whenever you are aware of a challenge it provides an opportunity to grow and improve When we are able to improve these areas then

students will see the results This includes a greater focus on our short-comings that in the end will help students

28c Summary

How will these challenges be addressed in the School Improvement Plans Goals Measurable Objectives Strategies and Activities

for the upcoming year For Priority Schools which of these high need areas will inform the Big Ideas and the ReformRedesign

Plan

In reference to our achievement data FHS will continue our SIP goals focused on improving students reading writing and math skills

These key literacy skills are areas where we need to keep our focus to see greater improvement and growth in our standardized testing data

The other data indicates a need to keep focused on the affective components of our school This means that we will continue our

affectivebehavioral goal around PEAK our positive behavior intervention program The continued focus on both the academic and

affective components of schools data will allow our SIP to reflect where we are as a school and where we are headed

Improvement Planning Process

Improvement Planning Process

Describe the process used to engage a variety of stakeholders in the development of the institutions improvement plan Include

information on how stakeholders were selected and informed of their roles and how meetings were scheduled to accommodate

them

In regards to the School Improvement Process (SIP) the SIP team was selected using a variety of staff of varing expertise These staff were

invited to join the SIP and given the opportunity to accept the invitation Once they became a member of the team roles were given based

upon the team members strengths and well as their willingness to accept the role SIP meetings are scheduled at the district level and are

done the previous year

Describe the representations from stakeholder groups that participated in the development of the improvement plan and their

responsibilities in this process

The SIP team consists of 6 members (1 administratorparent 1 teachercoordinator and 4 teachers) All members of the SIP are responsible

for analyzing data entering data into ASSIST seeking input from stakeholders and the overall writing of the School Improvement Plan

Explain how the final improvement plan was communicated to all stakeholders and the method and frequency in which

stakeholders receive information on its progress

Our school improvement plan will be communicated to all stakeholders via the district website district listserves hard copies available upon

request from the school In addition we will share school improvment plan with teachers at forthcoming staff meetings or any time this is

pertinent during PLT meetings etc As this is the driving force behind our response to instruction our goals and strategies should be present

throughout our day to day operations

Introduction

The School Data Analysis (SDA) is a diagnostic tool intended to facilitate rich and deep collaborative discussions among staff members

about school data The SDA can serve as a guide to determine a schoolrsquos strengths and challenges as well as directions for improvement

based on an analysis of data and responses to a series of data - related questions in content areas This data collection and analysis process

should include the identification of achievement gaps as well as reflections on possible causes for these gaps This diagnostic represents the

various types of data that should be continuously collected reviewed analyzed and evaluated Completion of the SDA is one piece of a

schoolrsquos comprehensive needs assessment process

Demographic Data

Demographic data is data that provides descriptive information about the school community Examples may include enrollment attendance

grade levels raceethnicity gender students with disabilities English learners socio-economic status graduation rate

suspensionsexpulsions etc

Student Demographic Data

1 In looking at the three year trend in student enrollment data what challenges have been identified

Farmington High School as a part of the Farmington Public Schools is seeing declining enrollment across the system This declining

enrollment trend is due to many factors facing southeastern Michigan Specifically we are losing staff members and not able to offer the

same variety of courses as have been historically available This is also causing building use studies to take place and we may have to look

at closing schools which has an impact on all parts of the community

Student Demographic Data

2 In looking at the three year trend in student attendance data what challenges have been identified

Overall our student attendance rates for students in quite good However there are a handful of students who face challenges with their

attendance We utilize many avenues to address address attendance issues including county truancy officer support in severe situations

Overall our biggest challenges are first hour attendance and tardiness to school

Student Demographic Data

3 In looking at the three year trend in student behavior data (discipline referrals suspensions and expulsions) what challenges

have been identified

We have seen a steep decline in total number of student suspensions We have been focusing on changing practices to offer alternatives to

suspension whenever possibleWe have also may attempts to eliminate progressive discipline policies We have also seen a decline in total

number of discipline referrals and expulsions The challenges that remain are to continue this work and also to examine more ways to be

proactive in supporting students so they do not need disciplinary consequences at all

Student Demographic Data

4 What action(s) could be taken to address any identified challenges with student demographic data

We need to continue to build positive relationships with students and families to help curb the declining enrollment issuesWe also want to

continue examining ways to keep suspension numbers down and kids in school so

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

5 As you review the number of years of teaching and administrative experience of the school leader(s) in your building what

impact might this have on student achievement

SY 2015-2016 Page 13 copy 2015 Advance Education Inc All rights reserved unless otherwise granted by written agreement

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School

We have a seasoned staff both in teaching and administration This experience offers much insight into the challenges we face as a school

and the potential solutions that exist The more experienced the staff the higher achievement is likely to be Teachers are confident in the

content they teach and have established routines to rely upon However it is important to note that practices need to be continually

examined and past practices are not always the best practices Our staff strikes a nice balance between reliance on time-tested practices

and being open to new approaches

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

6 As you review the number of years of teaching experience of teachers in your building what impact might this have on student

achievement

Our teachers have been teaching on average more than 10 years This experience allows for a solid foundation on which our school is

built This experienced staff offers students lots of support and they have proven track record of supporting students and facilitating high

levels of student achievement

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

7 As you review the total number of days for school leader absences and note how many were due to professional learning and or

due to illness what impact might this have on student achievement

Our school leaders are not absent very often Occasionally an absence occurs but it is sporadic and only consists of a day here or there

The school leaders do attend a number of meetings and PD sessions but it does not have a negative impact on student achievement In

fact attending these meetings helps the leaders to define the scope of the work for FHS and sets the standards for district expectations

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

8 As you review the total number of days for teacher absences due to professional learning andor illness what impact might this

have on student achievement

Overall teacher attendance is good We do not experience high levels of teacher absenteeism day to day There are occasions where we

have a lot of teachers out and this can be a challenge When substitutes are in the classes learning is slowed It is difficult to replace a

regular classroom teacher When this happens it is short-lived and this is not an overarching problem for us at FHS

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

9 What actions might be taken to address any identified challenges regarding teacherschool leader demographics

We need to continue keeping FHS a place where students and staff want to be This way absenteeism is not a large negative factor We

can continue to monitor and revise our attendance expectations for students to find effective ways to help students attend school all day on a

regular basis

Process Data

Process data is information about the practices and procedures schools use to plan deliver and monitor curriculum instruction and

assessment

10 In reviewing the results of the School Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment what

strandsstandardsindicators stand out as strengths

We were rated highest in the following categories

-Purpose and direction

-Governance and Leadership

Within those categories were rated a level 3 on the schools leadership being committed to a culture of shared values and beliefs and the

schools leadership implementing a continuous improvement process that provides a clear direction for improving conditions that support

student learning We were also rated a level 3 having a governing body that establishes polices and supports practices that ensure effective

administration of the school and operates responsibly and functions effectively Additionally a level 3 was given for leadership and staff

members who foster a culture consistent with the schools purpose and direction and for having an evaluation system that results in improved

professional practice and student success

11 In reviewing the results of the School Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment what

strandsstandardsindicators stand out as challenges

The area where we were rated lowest was using results for continuous improvement In this areas several level 2 ratings were given in the

following areas

-the schools maintaining a clearly defined and comprehensive student assessment system

-professional and support staff continuously collect analyze and apply learning from a range of data sources including comparison and

trend data and students learning instruction program evaluation and organizational conditions

-professional and support staff are trained in the evaluation interpretation and use of data

-The school engages in a continuous process to determine verifiable improvement in student learning including readiness for learning

including readiness for and success at the next level

12 How might these challenges impact student achievement

It is clear we have created a culture and system that support students and staff to put achievement at the forefront of what we do Now we

need to get better at using data to inform and enhance our instruction in a planned and purposeful way The environment is right for change

and growth now we need to ensure we are deliberating implementing the right things to cause change to occur

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School

13 What actions could be taken and incorporated into the School Improvement Plan to address these challenges from the School

Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment

One important action step that can be taken is to place greater focus on the use of data to inform our instruction in a purposeful way We

have the right structures in place to support this work This is really the next natural step in our path to continuous improvement

14How do you ensure that students with disabilities have access to the full array of intervention programs available ie Title I Title

III Section 31a IDEA credit recovery extended learning opportunities

Students with disabilities have access to all of our classes at FHS Students individualized plans (504 Plans or IEPs) are monitored regularly

with administrator oversight to ensure plans are being followed and implemented and that students goals are being met This includes

ensuring that all students have access to our full array of intervention programs

15 Describe the Extended Learning Opportunities that are available for students and in what grades they are available

The idea of an extended learning opportunity is general and includes may things available to students at FHS We offer after school tutoring

3 days a week with teachers there to support students along with peer tutors We also offer additional help in classrooms with content area

teachers and their students This is done before or after school or during lunch We offer a full array of extra-curricular and co-curricular

activities as well as a full compliment of athletic opportunities These and more are available to students of all grades (9-12) at FHS We

consider all of these opportunities to be extended learning opportunities for students

16 What is the process for identifying students for Extended Learning Opportunities and how are parents notified of these

opportunities

Many of the opportunities listed previously are optional for students and we notify parents of this information via listserv emails our weekly

newsletter and our schools website This is also done through teacher-to-parent communication In the case of after-school tutoring or extra

help in classrooms teachers contact parents by phone or email about expectations and opportunities We also use a General Education

Support Team who meets regularly to identify struggling students and offers to provide support to these students through these various

opportunities

17 What evidence do you have to indicate the extent to which the state content standards are being implemented with fidelity ie

horizontal and vertical alignment in all content courses and grade levels

Our district curriculum has begun a review process in the last year in part due to our change from trimesters to semesters Course content

was reviewed and compared to the appropriate standards Changes were made according to the review and now through the growth and

evaluation model administrators and teacher leaders will ensure that this revised curriculum will be implemented as expected in each of our

classrooms

19a Reading- Strengths

Historically FHS has done well in the area of English on the ACT Specifically FHS ACT College Readiness trend data has indicated we are

above state levels in reading and English and have made steady gains over the past several years

19b Reading- Challenges

Reading to access content continues to be an area we want to focus on at FHS This focus impacts all departments because reading is a

critical literacy skill that matters in all subject areasThrough the use of Readers Apprenticeship strategies we hope to engage students in

effective reading strategies that increases their understanding of all content areas

19c Reading- Trends

FHS has seen an increase in reading scores according to the ACT over the past few years However classroom teachers continue to find

frustration in our students abilities to read technical information and to access content in other areas outside English We will be making this

one of our focus in the coming year

19d Reading- Summary

tiered instruction if appropriate

We will be learning about and applying strategies from Readers Apprentice at FHS to address the issue of reading for content understanding

This is also in line with district expectations and standards

20a Writing- Strengths

Writing has been the focus many student growth goals and PLT goals Through this goal-setting process and the work that goes along with

it we have seen gains in specific areas related to writing For example there has been a greater focus on providing enough evidence in

writing to support the writers thesis or claim Through the use of common language and expectation classroom-based data indicates that

FHS students are growing in this area

20b Writing- Challenges

Similar to math students can and do have an aversion to writing Despite our focus on writing and specific aspects of writing we continue to

have more work to do in this areaWe will continue to make this a focus of student growth goals and PLT goals going forward In the past

under the trimester model there was limited time to assign multiple writing tasks now with our semester model each class will have more

time making writing more likely to be assigned

20c Writing- Trends

While we have seen some specific areas where improvements have been made based on classroom-level grades we continue to see this an

area needing more growth While our scores are above state levels we still see this as a place for continued focus and growth

20d Writing- Summary

that supports one of our SIP goalsTherefore writing will continue to be a focus for our school Also with our lengthened terms teachers will

have more time to focus on writing in each of our classrooms

21a Math- Strengths

In the area of math again we are above state levels however we have seen a plateau of math scores over the past few years on ACT We

have seen a slight reduction of math failures but this remains an area where growth is needed Students who take our AP math classes

continue to do well on AP tests and are successful in the class as well

21b Math- Challenges

Despite a decrease in math failures the rate at which students fail math is still too high This will continue to be a part of our FHS SIP to

address achievement levels in math

21c Math- Trends

Math continues to be a goal area for FHS Failure rates are still too high and require us to continue to examine our instructional approach to

math seeking changes to how math is taught and assessed

Math will continue to be a SIP goal for FHS Therefore teachers in our math department will be selecting a student growth goal and PLT

goals that support this work Other departments are also looking at ways to improve math scores for students at FHS

22a Science- Strengths

Overall FHS has been seeing gains in the area of science on the ACT and specific subgroups haven see a slight closure of the achievement

gap in science At the classroom level science teachers have been focusing on students ability to graph relevant data and use graphs to

understand key data and glean informationThis has been an area of great focus over the past few year and classroom level data indicates

that students are making large gains in this specific area of focus

22b Science- Challenges

As with many subject areas an achievement gap exists for students in the area of science Therefore we need to continue our focus on

helping students to access and succeed at this technical content through specific focus on areas of weakness For example using reading

and other literacy strategies to understand difficult content and succeed with science curriculum

22c Science- Trends

While our efforts have yielded some slight gains in closing the achievement gap in the area of science more work is still needed We need

to continue our focus on individualized instruction so all students are mastering the science standards

22d Science- Summary

Summarize how these challenges will be addressed in your School Improvement Plan Indicate Not Applicable (NA) if there is no

challenge or this challenge will not be addressed at this time in the School Improvement Plan Indicate the relevance or impact on

Summary

28a Summary

Briefly summarize the strengths and challenges identified in the four kinds of data-demographic process achievementoutcomes

and perception

An analysis of the data is an important part of any organization that is reflective in nature Using a multi-tiered approach to reviewing the

data is key to understand the larger scope of the organization and how it is perceived

We have many things to celebrate that the data tells us we are doing well particularly in the area of leadership school culture and safety

These are positive things to be doing well at and are key to creating an overall environment that support students and staff to grow and

achieve

While there are many positive aspects of our school we still have work to do done and areas to growimproveThis will continue to be the

focus of our SIP and our day to day work Finally it is important to note that even with these areas to improve we do have systems in place

that will help us do this It will simply require a greater focus in these areas

28b Summary

How might the challenges identified in the demographic process and perception data impact student achievement

Whenever you are aware of a challenge it provides an opportunity to grow and improve When we are able to improve these areas then

students will see the results This includes a greater focus on our short-comings that in the end will help students

28c Summary

How will these challenges be addressed in the School Improvement Plans Goals Measurable Objectives Strategies and Activities

for the upcoming year For Priority Schools which of these high need areas will inform the Big Ideas and the ReformRedesign

Plan

In reference to our achievement data FHS will continue our SIP goals focused on improving students reading writing and math skills

These key literacy skills are areas where we need to keep our focus to see greater improvement and growth in our standardized testing data

The other data indicates a need to keep focused on the affective components of our school This means that we will continue our

affectivebehavioral goal around PEAK our positive behavior intervention program The continued focus on both the academic and

affective components of schools data will allow our SIP to reflect where we are as a school and where we are headed

Demographic data is data that provides descriptive information about the school community Examples may include enrollment attendance

grade levels raceethnicity gender students with disabilities English learners socio-economic status graduation rate

suspensionsexpulsions etc

Student Demographic Data

1 In looking at the three year trend in student enrollment data what challenges have been identified

Farmington High School as a part of the Farmington Public Schools is seeing declining enrollment across the system This declining

enrollment trend is due to many factors facing southeastern Michigan Specifically we are losing staff members and not able to offer the

same variety of courses as have been historically available This is also causing building use studies to take place and we may have to look

at closing schools which has an impact on all parts of the community

Student Demographic Data

2 In looking at the three year trend in student attendance data what challenges have been identified

Overall our student attendance rates for students in quite good However there are a handful of students who face challenges with their

attendance We utilize many avenues to address address attendance issues including county truancy officer support in severe situations

Overall our biggest challenges are first hour attendance and tardiness to school

Student Demographic Data

3 In looking at the three year trend in student behavior data (discipline referrals suspensions and expulsions) what challenges

have been identified

We have seen a steep decline in total number of student suspensions We have been focusing on changing practices to offer alternatives to

suspension whenever possibleWe have also may attempts to eliminate progressive discipline policies We have also seen a decline in total

number of discipline referrals and expulsions The challenges that remain are to continue this work and also to examine more ways to be

proactive in supporting students so they do not need disciplinary consequences at all

Student Demographic Data

4 What action(s) could be taken to address any identified challenges with student demographic data

We need to continue to build positive relationships with students and families to help curb the declining enrollment issuesWe also want to

continue examining ways to keep suspension numbers down and kids in school so

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

5 As you review the number of years of teaching and administrative experience of the school leader(s) in your building what

impact might this have on student achievement

SY 2015-2016 Page 13 copy 2015 Advance Education Inc All rights reserved unless otherwise granted by written agreement

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School

We have a seasoned staff both in teaching and administration This experience offers much insight into the challenges we face as a school

and the potential solutions that exist The more experienced the staff the higher achievement is likely to be Teachers are confident in the

content they teach and have established routines to rely upon However it is important to note that practices need to be continually

examined and past practices are not always the best practices Our staff strikes a nice balance between reliance on time-tested practices

and being open to new approaches

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

6 As you review the number of years of teaching experience of teachers in your building what impact might this have on student

achievement

Our teachers have been teaching on average more than 10 years This experience allows for a solid foundation on which our school is

built This experienced staff offers students lots of support and they have proven track record of supporting students and facilitating high

levels of student achievement

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

7 As you review the total number of days for school leader absences and note how many were due to professional learning and or

due to illness what impact might this have on student achievement

Our school leaders are not absent very often Occasionally an absence occurs but it is sporadic and only consists of a day here or there

The school leaders do attend a number of meetings and PD sessions but it does not have a negative impact on student achievement In

fact attending these meetings helps the leaders to define the scope of the work for FHS and sets the standards for district expectations

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

8 As you review the total number of days for teacher absences due to professional learning andor illness what impact might this

have on student achievement

Overall teacher attendance is good We do not experience high levels of teacher absenteeism day to day There are occasions where we

have a lot of teachers out and this can be a challenge When substitutes are in the classes learning is slowed It is difficult to replace a

regular classroom teacher When this happens it is short-lived and this is not an overarching problem for us at FHS

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

9 What actions might be taken to address any identified challenges regarding teacherschool leader demographics

We need to continue keeping FHS a place where students and staff want to be This way absenteeism is not a large negative factor We

can continue to monitor and revise our attendance expectations for students to find effective ways to help students attend school all day on a

regular basis

Process Data

Process data is information about the practices and procedures schools use to plan deliver and monitor curriculum instruction and

assessment

10 In reviewing the results of the School Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment what

strandsstandardsindicators stand out as strengths

We were rated highest in the following categories

-Purpose and direction

-Governance and Leadership

Within those categories were rated a level 3 on the schools leadership being committed to a culture of shared values and beliefs and the

schools leadership implementing a continuous improvement process that provides a clear direction for improving conditions that support

student learning We were also rated a level 3 having a governing body that establishes polices and supports practices that ensure effective

administration of the school and operates responsibly and functions effectively Additionally a level 3 was given for leadership and staff

members who foster a culture consistent with the schools purpose and direction and for having an evaluation system that results in improved

professional practice and student success

11 In reviewing the results of the School Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment what

strandsstandardsindicators stand out as challenges

The area where we were rated lowest was using results for continuous improvement In this areas several level 2 ratings were given in the

following areas

-the schools maintaining a clearly defined and comprehensive student assessment system

-professional and support staff continuously collect analyze and apply learning from a range of data sources including comparison and

trend data and students learning instruction program evaluation and organizational conditions

-professional and support staff are trained in the evaluation interpretation and use of data

-The school engages in a continuous process to determine verifiable improvement in student learning including readiness for learning

including readiness for and success at the next level

12 How might these challenges impact student achievement

It is clear we have created a culture and system that support students and staff to put achievement at the forefront of what we do Now we

need to get better at using data to inform and enhance our instruction in a planned and purposeful way The environment is right for change

and growth now we need to ensure we are deliberating implementing the right things to cause change to occur

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School

13 What actions could be taken and incorporated into the School Improvement Plan to address these challenges from the School

Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment

One important action step that can be taken is to place greater focus on the use of data to inform our instruction in a purposeful way We

have the right structures in place to support this work This is really the next natural step in our path to continuous improvement

14How do you ensure that students with disabilities have access to the full array of intervention programs available ie Title I Title

III Section 31a IDEA credit recovery extended learning opportunities

Students with disabilities have access to all of our classes at FHS Students individualized plans (504 Plans or IEPs) are monitored regularly

with administrator oversight to ensure plans are being followed and implemented and that students goals are being met This includes

ensuring that all students have access to our full array of intervention programs

15 Describe the Extended Learning Opportunities that are available for students and in what grades they are available

The idea of an extended learning opportunity is general and includes may things available to students at FHS We offer after school tutoring

3 days a week with teachers there to support students along with peer tutors We also offer additional help in classrooms with content area

teachers and their students This is done before or after school or during lunch We offer a full array of extra-curricular and co-curricular

activities as well as a full compliment of athletic opportunities These and more are available to students of all grades (9-12) at FHS We

consider all of these opportunities to be extended learning opportunities for students

16 What is the process for identifying students for Extended Learning Opportunities and how are parents notified of these

opportunities

Many of the opportunities listed previously are optional for students and we notify parents of this information via listserv emails our weekly

newsletter and our schools website This is also done through teacher-to-parent communication In the case of after-school tutoring or extra

help in classrooms teachers contact parents by phone or email about expectations and opportunities We also use a General Education

Support Team who meets regularly to identify struggling students and offers to provide support to these students through these various

opportunities

17 What evidence do you have to indicate the extent to which the state content standards are being implemented with fidelity ie

horizontal and vertical alignment in all content courses and grade levels

Our district curriculum has begun a review process in the last year in part due to our change from trimesters to semesters Course content

was reviewed and compared to the appropriate standards Changes were made according to the review and now through the growth and

evaluation model administrators and teacher leaders will ensure that this revised curriculum will be implemented as expected in each of our

classrooms

19a Reading- Strengths

Historically FHS has done well in the area of English on the ACT Specifically FHS ACT College Readiness trend data has indicated we are

above state levels in reading and English and have made steady gains over the past several years

19b Reading- Challenges

Reading to access content continues to be an area we want to focus on at FHS This focus impacts all departments because reading is a

critical literacy skill that matters in all subject areasThrough the use of Readers Apprenticeship strategies we hope to engage students in

effective reading strategies that increases their understanding of all content areas

19c Reading- Trends

FHS has seen an increase in reading scores according to the ACT over the past few years However classroom teachers continue to find

frustration in our students abilities to read technical information and to access content in other areas outside English We will be making this

one of our focus in the coming year

We will be learning about and applying strategies from Readers Apprentice at FHS to address the issue of reading for content understanding

This is also in line with district expectations and standards

20a Writing- Strengths

Writing has been the focus many student growth goals and PLT goals Through this goal-setting process and the work that goes along with

it we have seen gains in specific areas related to writing For example there has been a greater focus on providing enough evidence in

writing to support the writers thesis or claim Through the use of common language and expectation classroom-based data indicates that

FHS students are growing in this area

20b Writing- Challenges

Similar to math students can and do have an aversion to writing Despite our focus on writing and specific aspects of writing we continue to

have more work to do in this areaWe will continue to make this a focus of student growth goals and PLT goals going forward In the past

under the trimester model there was limited time to assign multiple writing tasks now with our semester model each class will have more

time making writing more likely to be assigned

20c Writing- Trends

While we have seen some specific areas where improvements have been made based on classroom-level grades we continue to see this an

area needing more growth While our scores are above state levels we still see this as a place for continued focus and growth

21a Math- Strengths

In the area of math again we are above state levels however we have seen a plateau of math scores over the past few years on ACT We

have seen a slight reduction of math failures but this remains an area where growth is needed Students who take our AP math classes

continue to do well on AP tests and are successful in the class as well

21b Math- Challenges

Despite a decrease in math failures the rate at which students fail math is still too high This will continue to be a part of our FHS SIP to

address achievement levels in math

21c Math- Trends

Math continues to be a goal area for FHS Failure rates are still too high and require us to continue to examine our instructional approach to

math seeking changes to how math is taught and assessed

Overall FHS has been seeing gains in the area of science on the ACT and specific subgroups haven see a slight closure of the achievement

gap in science At the classroom level science teachers have been focusing on students ability to graph relevant data and use graphs to

understand key data and glean informationThis has been an area of great focus over the past few year and classroom level data indicates

that students are making large gains in this specific area of focus

22b Science- Challenges

As with many subject areas an achievement gap exists for students in the area of science Therefore we need to continue our focus on

helping students to access and succeed at this technical content through specific focus on areas of weakness For example using reading

and other literacy strategies to understand difficult content and succeed with science curriculum

22c Science- Trends

While our efforts have yielded some slight gains in closing the achievement gap in the area of science more work is still needed We need

to continue our focus on individualized instruction so all students are mastering the science standards

Summary

28a Summary

Briefly summarize the strengths and challenges identified in the four kinds of data-demographic process achievementoutcomes

and perception

An analysis of the data is an important part of any organization that is reflective in nature Using a multi-tiered approach to reviewing the

data is key to understand the larger scope of the organization and how it is perceived

We have many things to celebrate that the data tells us we are doing well particularly in the area of leadership school culture and safety

These are positive things to be doing well at and are key to creating an overall environment that support students and staff to grow and

achieve

While there are many positive aspects of our school we still have work to do done and areas to growimproveThis will continue to be the

focus of our SIP and our day to day work Finally it is important to note that even with these areas to improve we do have systems in place

that will help us do this It will simply require a greater focus in these areas

28b Summary

How might the challenges identified in the demographic process and perception data impact student achievement

Whenever you are aware of a challenge it provides an opportunity to grow and improve When we are able to improve these areas then

students will see the results This includes a greater focus on our short-comings that in the end will help students

28c Summary

How will these challenges be addressed in the School Improvement Plans Goals Measurable Objectives Strategies and Activities

for the upcoming year For Priority Schools which of these high need areas will inform the Big Ideas and the ReformRedesign

Plan

In reference to our achievement data FHS will continue our SIP goals focused on improving students reading writing and math skills

These key literacy skills are areas where we need to keep our focus to see greater improvement and growth in our standardized testing data

The other data indicates a need to keep focused on the affective components of our school This means that we will continue our

affectivebehavioral goal around PEAK our positive behavior intervention program The continued focus on both the academic and

affective components of schools data will allow our SIP to reflect where we are as a school and where we are headed

Improvement Planning Process

Improvement Planning Process

Describe the process used to engage a variety of stakeholders in the development of the institutions improvement plan Include

information on how stakeholders were selected and informed of their roles and how meetings were scheduled to accommodate

them

In regards to the School Improvement Process (SIP) the SIP team was selected using a variety of staff of varing expertise These staff were

invited to join the SIP and given the opportunity to accept the invitation Once they became a member of the team roles were given based

upon the team members strengths and well as their willingness to accept the role SIP meetings are scheduled at the district level and are

done the previous year

Describe the representations from stakeholder groups that participated in the development of the improvement plan and their

responsibilities in this process

The SIP team consists of 6 members (1 administratorparent 1 teachercoordinator and 4 teachers) All members of the SIP are responsible

for analyzing data entering data into ASSIST seeking input from stakeholders and the overall writing of the School Improvement Plan

Explain how the final improvement plan was communicated to all stakeholders and the method and frequency in which

stakeholders receive information on its progress

Our school improvement plan will be communicated to all stakeholders via the district website district listserves hard copies available upon

request from the school In addition we will share school improvment plan with teachers at forthcoming staff meetings or any time this is

pertinent during PLT meetings etc As this is the driving force behind our response to instruction our goals and strategies should be present

throughout our day to day operations

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School

Introduction

The School Data Analysis (SDA) is a diagnostic tool intended to facilitate rich and deep collaborative discussions among staff members

about school data The SDA can serve as a guide to determine a schoolrsquos strengths and challenges as well as directions for improvement

based on an analysis of data and responses to a series of data - related questions in content areas This data collection and analysis process

should include the identification of achievement gaps as well as reflections on possible causes for these gaps This diagnostic represents the

various types of data that should be continuously collected reviewed analyzed and evaluated Completion of the SDA is one piece of a

schoolrsquos comprehensive needs assessment process

Demographic Data

Demographic data is data that provides descriptive information about the school community Examples may include enrollment attendance

grade levels raceethnicity gender students with disabilities English learners socio-economic status graduation rate

suspensionsexpulsions etc

Student Demographic Data

1 In looking at the three year trend in student enrollment data what challenges have been identified

Farmington High School as a part of the Farmington Public Schools is seeing declining enrollment across the system This declining

enrollment trend is due to many factors facing southeastern Michigan Specifically we are losing staff members and not able to offer the

same variety of courses as have been historically available This is also causing building use studies to take place and we may have to look

at closing schools which has an impact on all parts of the community

Student Demographic Data

2 In looking at the three year trend in student attendance data what challenges have been identified

Overall our student attendance rates for students in quite good However there are a handful of students who face challenges with their

attendance We utilize many avenues to address address attendance issues including county truancy officer support in severe situations

Overall our biggest challenges are first hour attendance and tardiness to school

Student Demographic Data

3 In looking at the three year trend in student behavior data (discipline referrals suspensions and expulsions) what challenges

have been identified

We have seen a steep decline in total number of student suspensions We have been focusing on changing practices to offer alternatives to

suspension whenever possibleWe have also may attempts to eliminate progressive discipline policies We have also seen a decline in total

number of discipline referrals and expulsions The challenges that remain are to continue this work and also to examine more ways to be

proactive in supporting students so they do not need disciplinary consequences at all

Student Demographic Data

4 What action(s) could be taken to address any identified challenges with student demographic data

We need to continue to build positive relationships with students and families to help curb the declining enrollment issuesWe also want to

continue examining ways to keep suspension numbers down and kids in school so

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

5 As you review the number of years of teaching and administrative experience of the school leader(s) in your building what

impact might this have on student achievement

SY 2015-2016 Page 13 copy 2015 Advance Education Inc All rights reserved unless otherwise granted by written agreement

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School

We have a seasoned staff both in teaching and administration This experience offers much insight into the challenges we face as a school

and the potential solutions that exist The more experienced the staff the higher achievement is likely to be Teachers are confident in the

content they teach and have established routines to rely upon However it is important to note that practices need to be continually

examined and past practices are not always the best practices Our staff strikes a nice balance between reliance on time-tested practices

and being open to new approaches

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

6 As you review the number of years of teaching experience of teachers in your building what impact might this have on student

achievement

Our teachers have been teaching on average more than 10 years This experience allows for a solid foundation on which our school is

built This experienced staff offers students lots of support and they have proven track record of supporting students and facilitating high

levels of student achievement

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

7 As you review the total number of days for school leader absences and note how many were due to professional learning and or

due to illness what impact might this have on student achievement

Our school leaders are not absent very often Occasionally an absence occurs but it is sporadic and only consists of a day here or there

The school leaders do attend a number of meetings and PD sessions but it does not have a negative impact on student achievement In

fact attending these meetings helps the leaders to define the scope of the work for FHS and sets the standards for district expectations

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

8 As you review the total number of days for teacher absences due to professional learning andor illness what impact might this

have on student achievement

Overall teacher attendance is good We do not experience high levels of teacher absenteeism day to day There are occasions where we

have a lot of teachers out and this can be a challenge When substitutes are in the classes learning is slowed It is difficult to replace a

regular classroom teacher When this happens it is short-lived and this is not an overarching problem for us at FHS

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

9 What actions might be taken to address any identified challenges regarding teacherschool leader demographics

We need to continue keeping FHS a place where students and staff want to be This way absenteeism is not a large negative factor We

can continue to monitor and revise our attendance expectations for students to find effective ways to help students attend school all day on a

regular basis

Process Data

Process data is information about the practices and procedures schools use to plan deliver and monitor curriculum instruction and

assessment

10 In reviewing the results of the School Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment what

strandsstandardsindicators stand out as strengths

We were rated highest in the following categories

-Purpose and direction

-Governance and Leadership

Within those categories were rated a level 3 on the schools leadership being committed to a culture of shared values and beliefs and the

schools leadership implementing a continuous improvement process that provides a clear direction for improving conditions that support

student learning We were also rated a level 3 having a governing body that establishes polices and supports practices that ensure effective

administration of the school and operates responsibly and functions effectively Additionally a level 3 was given for leadership and staff

members who foster a culture consistent with the schools purpose and direction and for having an evaluation system that results in improved

professional practice and student success

11 In reviewing the results of the School Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment what

strandsstandardsindicators stand out as challenges

The area where we were rated lowest was using results for continuous improvement In this areas several level 2 ratings were given in the

following areas

-the schools maintaining a clearly defined and comprehensive student assessment system

-professional and support staff continuously collect analyze and apply learning from a range of data sources including comparison and

trend data and students learning instruction program evaluation and organizational conditions

-professional and support staff are trained in the evaluation interpretation and use of data

-The school engages in a continuous process to determine verifiable improvement in student learning including readiness for learning

including readiness for and success at the next level

12 How might these challenges impact student achievement

It is clear we have created a culture and system that support students and staff to put achievement at the forefront of what we do Now we

need to get better at using data to inform and enhance our instruction in a planned and purposeful way The environment is right for change

and growth now we need to ensure we are deliberating implementing the right things to cause change to occur

SY 2015-2016 Page 15 copy 2015 Advance Education Inc All rights reserved unless otherwise granted by written agreement

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School

13 What actions could be taken and incorporated into the School Improvement Plan to address these challenges from the School

Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment

One important action step that can be taken is to place greater focus on the use of data to inform our instruction in a purposeful way We

have the right structures in place to support this work This is really the next natural step in our path to continuous improvement

14How do you ensure that students with disabilities have access to the full array of intervention programs available ie Title I Title

III Section 31a IDEA credit recovery extended learning opportunities

Students with disabilities have access to all of our classes at FHS Students individualized plans (504 Plans or IEPs) are monitored regularly

with administrator oversight to ensure plans are being followed and implemented and that students goals are being met This includes

ensuring that all students have access to our full array of intervention programs

15 Describe the Extended Learning Opportunities that are available for students and in what grades they are available

The idea of an extended learning opportunity is general and includes may things available to students at FHS We offer after school tutoring

3 days a week with teachers there to support students along with peer tutors We also offer additional help in classrooms with content area

teachers and their students This is done before or after school or during lunch We offer a full array of extra-curricular and co-curricular

activities as well as a full compliment of athletic opportunities These and more are available to students of all grades (9-12) at FHS We

consider all of these opportunities to be extended learning opportunities for students

16 What is the process for identifying students for Extended Learning Opportunities and how are parents notified of these

opportunities

Many of the opportunities listed previously are optional for students and we notify parents of this information via listserv emails our weekly

newsletter and our schools website This is also done through teacher-to-parent communication In the case of after-school tutoring or extra

help in classrooms teachers contact parents by phone or email about expectations and opportunities We also use a General Education

Support Team who meets regularly to identify struggling students and offers to provide support to these students through these various

opportunities

17 What evidence do you have to indicate the extent to which the state content standards are being implemented with fidelity ie

horizontal and vertical alignment in all content courses and grade levels

Our district curriculum has begun a review process in the last year in part due to our change from trimesters to semesters Course content

was reviewed and compared to the appropriate standards Changes were made according to the review and now through the growth and

evaluation model administrators and teacher leaders will ensure that this revised curriculum will be implemented as expected in each of our

classrooms

19a Reading- Strengths

Historically FHS has done well in the area of English on the ACT Specifically FHS ACT College Readiness trend data has indicated we are

above state levels in reading and English and have made steady gains over the past several years

19b Reading- Challenges

Reading to access content continues to be an area we want to focus on at FHS This focus impacts all departments because reading is a

critical literacy skill that matters in all subject areasThrough the use of Readers Apprenticeship strategies we hope to engage students in

effective reading strategies that increases their understanding of all content areas

19c Reading- Trends

FHS has seen an increase in reading scores according to the ACT over the past few years However classroom teachers continue to find

frustration in our students abilities to read technical information and to access content in other areas outside English We will be making this

one of our focus in the coming year

19d Reading- Summary

tiered instruction if appropriate

We will be learning about and applying strategies from Readers Apprentice at FHS to address the issue of reading for content understanding

This is also in line with district expectations and standards

20a Writing- Strengths

Writing has been the focus many student growth goals and PLT goals Through this goal-setting process and the work that goes along with

it we have seen gains in specific areas related to writing For example there has been a greater focus on providing enough evidence in

writing to support the writers thesis or claim Through the use of common language and expectation classroom-based data indicates that

FHS students are growing in this area

20b Writing- Challenges

Similar to math students can and do have an aversion to writing Despite our focus on writing and specific aspects of writing we continue to

have more work to do in this areaWe will continue to make this a focus of student growth goals and PLT goals going forward In the past

under the trimester model there was limited time to assign multiple writing tasks now with our semester model each class will have more

time making writing more likely to be assigned

20c Writing- Trends

While we have seen some specific areas where improvements have been made based on classroom-level grades we continue to see this an

area needing more growth While our scores are above state levels we still see this as a place for continued focus and growth

20d Writing- Summary

that supports one of our SIP goalsTherefore writing will continue to be a focus for our school Also with our lengthened terms teachers will

have more time to focus on writing in each of our classrooms

21a Math- Strengths

In the area of math again we are above state levels however we have seen a plateau of math scores over the past few years on ACT We

have seen a slight reduction of math failures but this remains an area where growth is needed Students who take our AP math classes

continue to do well on AP tests and are successful in the class as well

21b Math- Challenges

Despite a decrease in math failures the rate at which students fail math is still too high This will continue to be a part of our FHS SIP to

address achievement levels in math

21c Math- Trends

Math continues to be a goal area for FHS Failure rates are still too high and require us to continue to examine our instructional approach to

math seeking changes to how math is taught and assessed

Math will continue to be a SIP goal for FHS Therefore teachers in our math department will be selecting a student growth goal and PLT

goals that support this work Other departments are also looking at ways to improve math scores for students at FHS

22a Science- Strengths

Overall FHS has been seeing gains in the area of science on the ACT and specific subgroups haven see a slight closure of the achievement

gap in science At the classroom level science teachers have been focusing on students ability to graph relevant data and use graphs to

understand key data and glean informationThis has been an area of great focus over the past few year and classroom level data indicates

that students are making large gains in this specific area of focus

22b Science- Challenges

As with many subject areas an achievement gap exists for students in the area of science Therefore we need to continue our focus on

helping students to access and succeed at this technical content through specific focus on areas of weakness For example using reading

and other literacy strategies to understand difficult content and succeed with science curriculum

22c Science- Trends

While our efforts have yielded some slight gains in closing the achievement gap in the area of science more work is still needed We need

to continue our focus on individualized instruction so all students are mastering the science standards

22d Science- Summary

Summarize how these challenges will be addressed in your School Improvement Plan Indicate Not Applicable (NA) if there is no

challenge or this challenge will not be addressed at this time in the School Improvement Plan Indicate the relevance or impact on

Summary

28a Summary

Briefly summarize the strengths and challenges identified in the four kinds of data-demographic process achievementoutcomes

and perception

An analysis of the data is an important part of any organization that is reflective in nature Using a multi-tiered approach to reviewing the

data is key to understand the larger scope of the organization and how it is perceived

We have many things to celebrate that the data tells us we are doing well particularly in the area of leadership school culture and safety

These are positive things to be doing well at and are key to creating an overall environment that support students and staff to grow and

achieve

While there are many positive aspects of our school we still have work to do done and areas to growimproveThis will continue to be the

focus of our SIP and our day to day work Finally it is important to note that even with these areas to improve we do have systems in place

that will help us do this It will simply require a greater focus in these areas

28b Summary

How might the challenges identified in the demographic process and perception data impact student achievement

Whenever you are aware of a challenge it provides an opportunity to grow and improve When we are able to improve these areas then

students will see the results This includes a greater focus on our short-comings that in the end will help students

28c Summary

How will these challenges be addressed in the School Improvement Plans Goals Measurable Objectives Strategies and Activities

for the upcoming year For Priority Schools which of these high need areas will inform the Big Ideas and the ReformRedesign

Plan

In reference to our achievement data FHS will continue our SIP goals focused on improving students reading writing and math skills

These key literacy skills are areas where we need to keep our focus to see greater improvement and growth in our standardized testing data

The other data indicates a need to keep focused on the affective components of our school This means that we will continue our

affectivebehavioral goal around PEAK our positive behavior intervention program The continued focus on both the academic and

affective components of schools data will allow our SIP to reflect where we are as a school and where we are headed

Demographic Data

Demographic data is data that provides descriptive information about the school community Examples may include enrollment attendance

grade levels raceethnicity gender students with disabilities English learners socio-economic status graduation rate

suspensionsexpulsions etc

Student Demographic Data

1 In looking at the three year trend in student enrollment data what challenges have been identified

Farmington High School as a part of the Farmington Public Schools is seeing declining enrollment across the system This declining

enrollment trend is due to many factors facing southeastern Michigan Specifically we are losing staff members and not able to offer the

same variety of courses as have been historically available This is also causing building use studies to take place and we may have to look

at closing schools which has an impact on all parts of the community

Student Demographic Data

2 In looking at the three year trend in student attendance data what challenges have been identified

Overall our student attendance rates for students in quite good However there are a handful of students who face challenges with their

attendance We utilize many avenues to address address attendance issues including county truancy officer support in severe situations

Overall our biggest challenges are first hour attendance and tardiness to school

Student Demographic Data

3 In looking at the three year trend in student behavior data (discipline referrals suspensions and expulsions) what challenges

have been identified

We have seen a steep decline in total number of student suspensions We have been focusing on changing practices to offer alternatives to

suspension whenever possibleWe have also may attempts to eliminate progressive discipline policies We have also seen a decline in total

number of discipline referrals and expulsions The challenges that remain are to continue this work and also to examine more ways to be

proactive in supporting students so they do not need disciplinary consequences at all

Student Demographic Data

4 What action(s) could be taken to address any identified challenges with student demographic data

We need to continue to build positive relationships with students and families to help curb the declining enrollment issuesWe also want to

continue examining ways to keep suspension numbers down and kids in school so

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

5 As you review the number of years of teaching and administrative experience of the school leader(s) in your building what

impact might this have on student achievement

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School

We have a seasoned staff both in teaching and administration This experience offers much insight into the challenges we face as a school

and the potential solutions that exist The more experienced the staff the higher achievement is likely to be Teachers are confident in the

content they teach and have established routines to rely upon However it is important to note that practices need to be continually

examined and past practices are not always the best practices Our staff strikes a nice balance between reliance on time-tested practices

and being open to new approaches

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

6 As you review the number of years of teaching experience of teachers in your building what impact might this have on student

achievement

Our teachers have been teaching on average more than 10 years This experience allows for a solid foundation on which our school is

built This experienced staff offers students lots of support and they have proven track record of supporting students and facilitating high

levels of student achievement

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

7 As you review the total number of days for school leader absences and note how many were due to professional learning and or

due to illness what impact might this have on student achievement

Our school leaders are not absent very often Occasionally an absence occurs but it is sporadic and only consists of a day here or there

The school leaders do attend a number of meetings and PD sessions but it does not have a negative impact on student achievement In

fact attending these meetings helps the leaders to define the scope of the work for FHS and sets the standards for district expectations

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

8 As you review the total number of days for teacher absences due to professional learning andor illness what impact might this

have on student achievement

Overall teacher attendance is good We do not experience high levels of teacher absenteeism day to day There are occasions where we

have a lot of teachers out and this can be a challenge When substitutes are in the classes learning is slowed It is difficult to replace a

regular classroom teacher When this happens it is short-lived and this is not an overarching problem for us at FHS

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

9 What actions might be taken to address any identified challenges regarding teacherschool leader demographics

We need to continue keeping FHS a place where students and staff want to be This way absenteeism is not a large negative factor We

can continue to monitor and revise our attendance expectations for students to find effective ways to help students attend school all day on a

regular basis

Process Data

Process data is information about the practices and procedures schools use to plan deliver and monitor curriculum instruction and

assessment

10 In reviewing the results of the School Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment what

strandsstandardsindicators stand out as strengths

We were rated highest in the following categories

-Purpose and direction

-Governance and Leadership

Within those categories were rated a level 3 on the schools leadership being committed to a culture of shared values and beliefs and the

schools leadership implementing a continuous improvement process that provides a clear direction for improving conditions that support

student learning We were also rated a level 3 having a governing body that establishes polices and supports practices that ensure effective

administration of the school and operates responsibly and functions effectively Additionally a level 3 was given for leadership and staff

members who foster a culture consistent with the schools purpose and direction and for having an evaluation system that results in improved

professional practice and student success

11 In reviewing the results of the School Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment what

strandsstandardsindicators stand out as challenges

The area where we were rated lowest was using results for continuous improvement In this areas several level 2 ratings were given in the

following areas

-the schools maintaining a clearly defined and comprehensive student assessment system

-professional and support staff continuously collect analyze and apply learning from a range of data sources including comparison and

trend data and students learning instruction program evaluation and organizational conditions

-professional and support staff are trained in the evaluation interpretation and use of data

-The school engages in a continuous process to determine verifiable improvement in student learning including readiness for learning

including readiness for and success at the next level

12 How might these challenges impact student achievement

It is clear we have created a culture and system that support students and staff to put achievement at the forefront of what we do Now we

need to get better at using data to inform and enhance our instruction in a planned and purposeful way The environment is right for change

and growth now we need to ensure we are deliberating implementing the right things to cause change to occur

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School

13 What actions could be taken and incorporated into the School Improvement Plan to address these challenges from the School

Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment

One important action step that can be taken is to place greater focus on the use of data to inform our instruction in a purposeful way We

have the right structures in place to support this work This is really the next natural step in our path to continuous improvement

14How do you ensure that students with disabilities have access to the full array of intervention programs available ie Title I Title

III Section 31a IDEA credit recovery extended learning opportunities

Students with disabilities have access to all of our classes at FHS Students individualized plans (504 Plans or IEPs) are monitored regularly

with administrator oversight to ensure plans are being followed and implemented and that students goals are being met This includes

ensuring that all students have access to our full array of intervention programs

15 Describe the Extended Learning Opportunities that are available for students and in what grades they are available

The idea of an extended learning opportunity is general and includes may things available to students at FHS We offer after school tutoring

3 days a week with teachers there to support students along with peer tutors We also offer additional help in classrooms with content area

teachers and their students This is done before or after school or during lunch We offer a full array of extra-curricular and co-curricular

activities as well as a full compliment of athletic opportunities These and more are available to students of all grades (9-12) at FHS We

consider all of these opportunities to be extended learning opportunities for students

16 What is the process for identifying students for Extended Learning Opportunities and how are parents notified of these

opportunities

Many of the opportunities listed previously are optional for students and we notify parents of this information via listserv emails our weekly

newsletter and our schools website This is also done through teacher-to-parent communication In the case of after-school tutoring or extra

help in classrooms teachers contact parents by phone or email about expectations and opportunities We also use a General Education

Support Team who meets regularly to identify struggling students and offers to provide support to these students through these various

opportunities

17 What evidence do you have to indicate the extent to which the state content standards are being implemented with fidelity ie

horizontal and vertical alignment in all content courses and grade levels

Our district curriculum has begun a review process in the last year in part due to our change from trimesters to semesters Course content

was reviewed and compared to the appropriate standards Changes were made according to the review and now through the growth and

evaluation model administrators and teacher leaders will ensure that this revised curriculum will be implemented as expected in each of our

classrooms

19a Reading- Strengths

Historically FHS has done well in the area of English on the ACT Specifically FHS ACT College Readiness trend data has indicated we are

above state levels in reading and English and have made steady gains over the past several years

19b Reading- Challenges

Reading to access content continues to be an area we want to focus on at FHS This focus impacts all departments because reading is a

critical literacy skill that matters in all subject areasThrough the use of Readers Apprenticeship strategies we hope to engage students in

effective reading strategies that increases their understanding of all content areas

19c Reading- Trends

FHS has seen an increase in reading scores according to the ACT over the past few years However classroom teachers continue to find

frustration in our students abilities to read technical information and to access content in other areas outside English We will be making this

one of our focus in the coming year

We will be learning about and applying strategies from Readers Apprentice at FHS to address the issue of reading for content understanding

This is also in line with district expectations and standards

20a Writing- Strengths

Writing has been the focus many student growth goals and PLT goals Through this goal-setting process and the work that goes along with

it we have seen gains in specific areas related to writing For example there has been a greater focus on providing enough evidence in

writing to support the writers thesis or claim Through the use of common language and expectation classroom-based data indicates that

FHS students are growing in this area

20b Writing- Challenges

Similar to math students can and do have an aversion to writing Despite our focus on writing and specific aspects of writing we continue to

have more work to do in this areaWe will continue to make this a focus of student growth goals and PLT goals going forward In the past

under the trimester model there was limited time to assign multiple writing tasks now with our semester model each class will have more

time making writing more likely to be assigned

20c Writing- Trends

While we have seen some specific areas where improvements have been made based on classroom-level grades we continue to see this an

area needing more growth While our scores are above state levels we still see this as a place for continued focus and growth

that supports one of our SIP goalsTherefore writing will continue to be a focus for our school Also with our lengthened terms teachers will

have more time to focus on writing in each of our classrooms

21a Math- Strengths

In the area of math again we are above state levels however we have seen a plateau of math scores over the past few years on ACT We

have seen a slight reduction of math failures but this remains an area where growth is needed Students who take our AP math classes

continue to do well on AP tests and are successful in the class as well

21b Math- Challenges

Despite a decrease in math failures the rate at which students fail math is still too high This will continue to be a part of our FHS SIP to

address achievement levels in math

Overall FHS has been seeing gains in the area of science on the ACT and specific subgroups haven see a slight closure of the achievement

gap in science At the classroom level science teachers have been focusing on students ability to graph relevant data and use graphs to

understand key data and glean informationThis has been an area of great focus over the past few year and classroom level data indicates

that students are making large gains in this specific area of focus

22b Science- Challenges

As with many subject areas an achievement gap exists for students in the area of science Therefore we need to continue our focus on

helping students to access and succeed at this technical content through specific focus on areas of weakness For example using reading

and other literacy strategies to understand difficult content and succeed with science curriculum

22c Science- Trends

While our efforts have yielded some slight gains in closing the achievement gap in the area of science more work is still needed We need

to continue our focus on individualized instruction so all students are mastering the science standards

Summary

28a Summary

Briefly summarize the strengths and challenges identified in the four kinds of data-demographic process achievementoutcomes

and perception

An analysis of the data is an important part of any organization that is reflective in nature Using a multi-tiered approach to reviewing the

data is key to understand the larger scope of the organization and how it is perceived

We have many things to celebrate that the data tells us we are doing well particularly in the area of leadership school culture and safety

These are positive things to be doing well at and are key to creating an overall environment that support students and staff to grow and

achieve

While there are many positive aspects of our school we still have work to do done and areas to growimproveThis will continue to be the

focus of our SIP and our day to day work Finally it is important to note that even with these areas to improve we do have systems in place

that will help us do this It will simply require a greater focus in these areas

28b Summary

How might the challenges identified in the demographic process and perception data impact student achievement

Whenever you are aware of a challenge it provides an opportunity to grow and improve When we are able to improve these areas then

students will see the results This includes a greater focus on our short-comings that in the end will help students

28c Summary

How will these challenges be addressed in the School Improvement Plans Goals Measurable Objectives Strategies and Activities

for the upcoming year For Priority Schools which of these high need areas will inform the Big Ideas and the ReformRedesign

Plan

In reference to our achievement data FHS will continue our SIP goals focused on improving students reading writing and math skills

These key literacy skills are areas where we need to keep our focus to see greater improvement and growth in our standardized testing data

The other data indicates a need to keep focused on the affective components of our school This means that we will continue our

affectivebehavioral goal around PEAK our positive behavior intervention program The continued focus on both the academic and

affective components of schools data will allow our SIP to reflect where we are as a school and where we are headed

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School

Introduction

The School Data Analysis (SDA) is a diagnostic tool intended to facilitate rich and deep collaborative discussions among staff members

about school data The SDA can serve as a guide to determine a schoolrsquos strengths and challenges as well as directions for improvement

based on an analysis of data and responses to a series of data - related questions in content areas This data collection and analysis process

should include the identification of achievement gaps as well as reflections on possible causes for these gaps This diagnostic represents the

various types of data that should be continuously collected reviewed analyzed and evaluated Completion of the SDA is one piece of a

schoolrsquos comprehensive needs assessment process

Demographic Data

Demographic data is data that provides descriptive information about the school community Examples may include enrollment attendance

grade levels raceethnicity gender students with disabilities English learners socio-economic status graduation rate

suspensionsexpulsions etc

Student Demographic Data

1 In looking at the three year trend in student enrollment data what challenges have been identified

Farmington High School as a part of the Farmington Public Schools is seeing declining enrollment across the system This declining

enrollment trend is due to many factors facing southeastern Michigan Specifically we are losing staff members and not able to offer the

same variety of courses as have been historically available This is also causing building use studies to take place and we may have to look

at closing schools which has an impact on all parts of the community

Student Demographic Data

2 In looking at the three year trend in student attendance data what challenges have been identified

Overall our student attendance rates for students in quite good However there are a handful of students who face challenges with their

attendance We utilize many avenues to address address attendance issues including county truancy officer support in severe situations

Overall our biggest challenges are first hour attendance and tardiness to school

Student Demographic Data

3 In looking at the three year trend in student behavior data (discipline referrals suspensions and expulsions) what challenges

have been identified

We have seen a steep decline in total number of student suspensions We have been focusing on changing practices to offer alternatives to

suspension whenever possibleWe have also may attempts to eliminate progressive discipline policies We have also seen a decline in total

number of discipline referrals and expulsions The challenges that remain are to continue this work and also to examine more ways to be

proactive in supporting students so they do not need disciplinary consequences at all

Student Demographic Data

4 What action(s) could be taken to address any identified challenges with student demographic data

We need to continue to build positive relationships with students and families to help curb the declining enrollment issuesWe also want to

continue examining ways to keep suspension numbers down and kids in school so

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

5 As you review the number of years of teaching and administrative experience of the school leader(s) in your building what

impact might this have on student achievement

SY 2015-2016 Page 13 copy 2015 Advance Education Inc All rights reserved unless otherwise granted by written agreement

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School

We have a seasoned staff both in teaching and administration This experience offers much insight into the challenges we face as a school

and the potential solutions that exist The more experienced the staff the higher achievement is likely to be Teachers are confident in the

content they teach and have established routines to rely upon However it is important to note that practices need to be continually

examined and past practices are not always the best practices Our staff strikes a nice balance between reliance on time-tested practices

and being open to new approaches

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

6 As you review the number of years of teaching experience of teachers in your building what impact might this have on student

achievement

Our teachers have been teaching on average more than 10 years This experience allows for a solid foundation on which our school is

built This experienced staff offers students lots of support and they have proven track record of supporting students and facilitating high

levels of student achievement

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

7 As you review the total number of days for school leader absences and note how many were due to professional learning and or

due to illness what impact might this have on student achievement

Our school leaders are not absent very often Occasionally an absence occurs but it is sporadic and only consists of a day here or there

The school leaders do attend a number of meetings and PD sessions but it does not have a negative impact on student achievement In

fact attending these meetings helps the leaders to define the scope of the work for FHS and sets the standards for district expectations

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

8 As you review the total number of days for teacher absences due to professional learning andor illness what impact might this

have on student achievement

Overall teacher attendance is good We do not experience high levels of teacher absenteeism day to day There are occasions where we

have a lot of teachers out and this can be a challenge When substitutes are in the classes learning is slowed It is difficult to replace a

regular classroom teacher When this happens it is short-lived and this is not an overarching problem for us at FHS

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

9 What actions might be taken to address any identified challenges regarding teacherschool leader demographics

We need to continue keeping FHS a place where students and staff want to be This way absenteeism is not a large negative factor We

can continue to monitor and revise our attendance expectations for students to find effective ways to help students attend school all day on a

regular basis

Process Data

Process data is information about the practices and procedures schools use to plan deliver and monitor curriculum instruction and

assessment

10 In reviewing the results of the School Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment what

strandsstandardsindicators stand out as strengths

We were rated highest in the following categories

-Purpose and direction

-Governance and Leadership

Within those categories were rated a level 3 on the schools leadership being committed to a culture of shared values and beliefs and the

schools leadership implementing a continuous improvement process that provides a clear direction for improving conditions that support

student learning We were also rated a level 3 having a governing body that establishes polices and supports practices that ensure effective

administration of the school and operates responsibly and functions effectively Additionally a level 3 was given for leadership and staff

members who foster a culture consistent with the schools purpose and direction and for having an evaluation system that results in improved

professional practice and student success

11 In reviewing the results of the School Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment what

strandsstandardsindicators stand out as challenges

The area where we were rated lowest was using results for continuous improvement In this areas several level 2 ratings were given in the

following areas

-the schools maintaining a clearly defined and comprehensive student assessment system

-professional and support staff continuously collect analyze and apply learning from a range of data sources including comparison and

trend data and students learning instruction program evaluation and organizational conditions

-professional and support staff are trained in the evaluation interpretation and use of data

-The school engages in a continuous process to determine verifiable improvement in student learning including readiness for learning

including readiness for and success at the next level

12 How might these challenges impact student achievement

It is clear we have created a culture and system that support students and staff to put achievement at the forefront of what we do Now we

need to get better at using data to inform and enhance our instruction in a planned and purposeful way The environment is right for change

and growth now we need to ensure we are deliberating implementing the right things to cause change to occur

SY 2015-2016 Page 15 copy 2015 Advance Education Inc All rights reserved unless otherwise granted by written agreement

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School

13 What actions could be taken and incorporated into the School Improvement Plan to address these challenges from the School

Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment

One important action step that can be taken is to place greater focus on the use of data to inform our instruction in a purposeful way We

have the right structures in place to support this work This is really the next natural step in our path to continuous improvement

14How do you ensure that students with disabilities have access to the full array of intervention programs available ie Title I Title

III Section 31a IDEA credit recovery extended learning opportunities

Students with disabilities have access to all of our classes at FHS Students individualized plans (504 Plans or IEPs) are monitored regularly

with administrator oversight to ensure plans are being followed and implemented and that students goals are being met This includes

ensuring that all students have access to our full array of intervention programs

15 Describe the Extended Learning Opportunities that are available for students and in what grades they are available

The idea of an extended learning opportunity is general and includes may things available to students at FHS We offer after school tutoring

3 days a week with teachers there to support students along with peer tutors We also offer additional help in classrooms with content area

teachers and their students This is done before or after school or during lunch We offer a full array of extra-curricular and co-curricular

activities as well as a full compliment of athletic opportunities These and more are available to students of all grades (9-12) at FHS We

consider all of these opportunities to be extended learning opportunities for students

16 What is the process for identifying students for Extended Learning Opportunities and how are parents notified of these

opportunities

Many of the opportunities listed previously are optional for students and we notify parents of this information via listserv emails our weekly

newsletter and our schools website This is also done through teacher-to-parent communication In the case of after-school tutoring or extra

help in classrooms teachers contact parents by phone or email about expectations and opportunities We also use a General Education

Support Team who meets regularly to identify struggling students and offers to provide support to these students through these various

opportunities

17 What evidence do you have to indicate the extent to which the state content standards are being implemented with fidelity ie

horizontal and vertical alignment in all content courses and grade levels

Our district curriculum has begun a review process in the last year in part due to our change from trimesters to semesters Course content

was reviewed and compared to the appropriate standards Changes were made according to the review and now through the growth and

evaluation model administrators and teacher leaders will ensure that this revised curriculum will be implemented as expected in each of our

classrooms

19a Reading- Strengths

Historically FHS has done well in the area of English on the ACT Specifically FHS ACT College Readiness trend data has indicated we are

above state levels in reading and English and have made steady gains over the past several years

19b Reading- Challenges

Reading to access content continues to be an area we want to focus on at FHS This focus impacts all departments because reading is a

critical literacy skill that matters in all subject areasThrough the use of Readers Apprenticeship strategies we hope to engage students in

effective reading strategies that increases their understanding of all content areas

19c Reading- Trends

FHS has seen an increase in reading scores according to the ACT over the past few years However classroom teachers continue to find

frustration in our students abilities to read technical information and to access content in other areas outside English We will be making this

one of our focus in the coming year

We will be learning about and applying strategies from Readers Apprentice at FHS to address the issue of reading for content understanding

This is also in line with district expectations and standards

20a Writing- Strengths

Writing has been the focus many student growth goals and PLT goals Through this goal-setting process and the work that goes along with

it we have seen gains in specific areas related to writing For example there has been a greater focus on providing enough evidence in

writing to support the writers thesis or claim Through the use of common language and expectation classroom-based data indicates that

FHS students are growing in this area

20b Writing- Challenges

Similar to math students can and do have an aversion to writing Despite our focus on writing and specific aspects of writing we continue to

have more work to do in this areaWe will continue to make this a focus of student growth goals and PLT goals going forward In the past

under the trimester model there was limited time to assign multiple writing tasks now with our semester model each class will have more

time making writing more likely to be assigned

20c Writing- Trends

While we have seen some specific areas where improvements have been made based on classroom-level grades we continue to see this an

area needing more growth While our scores are above state levels we still see this as a place for continued focus and growth

have more time to focus on writing in each of our classrooms

21a Math- Strengths

In the area of math again we are above state levels however we have seen a plateau of math scores over the past few years on ACT We

have seen a slight reduction of math failures but this remains an area where growth is needed Students who take our AP math classes

continue to do well on AP tests and are successful in the class as well

21b Math- Challenges

Despite a decrease in math failures the rate at which students fail math is still too high This will continue to be a part of our FHS SIP to

address achievement levels in math

21c Math- Trends

Math continues to be a goal area for FHS Failure rates are still too high and require us to continue to examine our instructional approach to

math seeking changes to how math is taught and assessed

Overall FHS has been seeing gains in the area of science on the ACT and specific subgroups haven see a slight closure of the achievement

gap in science At the classroom level science teachers have been focusing on students ability to graph relevant data and use graphs to

understand key data and glean informationThis has been an area of great focus over the past few year and classroom level data indicates

that students are making large gains in this specific area of focus

22b Science- Challenges

As with many subject areas an achievement gap exists for students in the area of science Therefore we need to continue our focus on

helping students to access and succeed at this technical content through specific focus on areas of weakness For example using reading

and other literacy strategies to understand difficult content and succeed with science curriculum

22c Science- Trends

While our efforts have yielded some slight gains in closing the achievement gap in the area of science more work is still needed We need

to continue our focus on individualized instruction so all students are mastering the science standards

One of the things that comes to mind when considering the lowest area of teacher satisfaction is that we are hiring only a handful of new staff

members in Farmington at this time However this is an indicator that we need to do more to emphasize the Marzano quality instruction

framework adopted by the district several years ago as well as provide a greater emphasis on the PLT process to support teachers new to

the profession

Summary

28a Summary

Briefly summarize the strengths and challenges identified in the four kinds of data-demographic process achievementoutcomes

and perception

An analysis of the data is an important part of any organization that is reflective in nature Using a multi-tiered approach to reviewing the

data is key to understand the larger scope of the organization and how it is perceived

We have many things to celebrate that the data tells us we are doing well particularly in the area of leadership school culture and safety

These are positive things to be doing well at and are key to creating an overall environment that support students and staff to grow and

achieve

While there are many positive aspects of our school we still have work to do done and areas to growimproveThis will continue to be the

focus of our SIP and our day to day work Finally it is important to note that even with these areas to improve we do have systems in place

that will help us do this It will simply require a greater focus in these areas

28b Summary

How might the challenges identified in the demographic process and perception data impact student achievement

Whenever you are aware of a challenge it provides an opportunity to grow and improve When we are able to improve these areas then

students will see the results This includes a greater focus on our short-comings that in the end will help students

28c Summary

How will these challenges be addressed in the School Improvement Plans Goals Measurable Objectives Strategies and Activities

for the upcoming year For Priority Schools which of these high need areas will inform the Big Ideas and the ReformRedesign

Plan

In reference to our achievement data FHS will continue our SIP goals focused on improving students reading writing and math skills

These key literacy skills are areas where we need to keep our focus to see greater improvement and growth in our standardized testing data

The other data indicates a need to keep focused on the affective components of our school This means that we will continue our

affectivebehavioral goal around PEAK our positive behavior intervention program The continued focus on both the academic and

affective components of schools data will allow our SIP to reflect where we are as a school and where we are headed

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School

Demographic Data

Demographic data is data that provides descriptive information about the school community Examples may include enrollment attendance

grade levels raceethnicity gender students with disabilities English learners socio-economic status graduation rate

suspensionsexpulsions etc

Student Demographic Data

1 In looking at the three year trend in student enrollment data what challenges have been identified

Farmington High School as a part of the Farmington Public Schools is seeing declining enrollment across the system This declining

enrollment trend is due to many factors facing southeastern Michigan Specifically we are losing staff members and not able to offer the

same variety of courses as have been historically available This is also causing building use studies to take place and we may have to look

at closing schools which has an impact on all parts of the community

Student Demographic Data

2 In looking at the three year trend in student attendance data what challenges have been identified

Overall our student attendance rates for students in quite good However there are a handful of students who face challenges with their

attendance We utilize many avenues to address address attendance issues including county truancy officer support in severe situations

Overall our biggest challenges are first hour attendance and tardiness to school

Student Demographic Data

3 In looking at the three year trend in student behavior data (discipline referrals suspensions and expulsions) what challenges

have been identified

We have seen a steep decline in total number of student suspensions We have been focusing on changing practices to offer alternatives to

suspension whenever possibleWe have also may attempts to eliminate progressive discipline policies We have also seen a decline in total

number of discipline referrals and expulsions The challenges that remain are to continue this work and also to examine more ways to be

proactive in supporting students so they do not need disciplinary consequences at all

Student Demographic Data

4 What action(s) could be taken to address any identified challenges with student demographic data

We need to continue to build positive relationships with students and families to help curb the declining enrollment issuesWe also want to

continue examining ways to keep suspension numbers down and kids in school so

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

5 As you review the number of years of teaching and administrative experience of the school leader(s) in your building what

impact might this have on student achievement

SY 2015-2016 Page 13 copy 2015 Advance Education Inc All rights reserved unless otherwise granted by written agreement

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School

We have a seasoned staff both in teaching and administration This experience offers much insight into the challenges we face as a school

and the potential solutions that exist The more experienced the staff the higher achievement is likely to be Teachers are confident in the

content they teach and have established routines to rely upon However it is important to note that practices need to be continually

examined and past practices are not always the best practices Our staff strikes a nice balance between reliance on time-tested practices

and being open to new approaches

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

6 As you review the number of years of teaching experience of teachers in your building what impact might this have on student

achievement

Our teachers have been teaching on average more than 10 years This experience allows for a solid foundation on which our school is

built This experienced staff offers students lots of support and they have proven track record of supporting students and facilitating high

levels of student achievement

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

7 As you review the total number of days for school leader absences and note how many were due to professional learning and or

due to illness what impact might this have on student achievement

Our school leaders are not absent very often Occasionally an absence occurs but it is sporadic and only consists of a day here or there

The school leaders do attend a number of meetings and PD sessions but it does not have a negative impact on student achievement In

fact attending these meetings helps the leaders to define the scope of the work for FHS and sets the standards for district expectations

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

8 As you review the total number of days for teacher absences due to professional learning andor illness what impact might this

have on student achievement

Overall teacher attendance is good We do not experience high levels of teacher absenteeism day to day There are occasions where we

have a lot of teachers out and this can be a challenge When substitutes are in the classes learning is slowed It is difficult to replace a

regular classroom teacher When this happens it is short-lived and this is not an overarching problem for us at FHS

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

9 What actions might be taken to address any identified challenges regarding teacherschool leader demographics

We need to continue keeping FHS a place where students and staff want to be This way absenteeism is not a large negative factor We

can continue to monitor and revise our attendance expectations for students to find effective ways to help students attend school all day on a

regular basis

Process Data

Process data is information about the practices and procedures schools use to plan deliver and monitor curriculum instruction and

assessment

10 In reviewing the results of the School Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment what

strandsstandardsindicators stand out as strengths

We were rated highest in the following categories

-Purpose and direction

-Governance and Leadership

Within those categories were rated a level 3 on the schools leadership being committed to a culture of shared values and beliefs and the

schools leadership implementing a continuous improvement process that provides a clear direction for improving conditions that support

student learning We were also rated a level 3 having a governing body that establishes polices and supports practices that ensure effective

administration of the school and operates responsibly and functions effectively Additionally a level 3 was given for leadership and staff

members who foster a culture consistent with the schools purpose and direction and for having an evaluation system that results in improved

professional practice and student success

11 In reviewing the results of the School Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment what

strandsstandardsindicators stand out as challenges

The area where we were rated lowest was using results for continuous improvement In this areas several level 2 ratings were given in the

following areas

-the schools maintaining a clearly defined and comprehensive student assessment system

-professional and support staff continuously collect analyze and apply learning from a range of data sources including comparison and

trend data and students learning instruction program evaluation and organizational conditions

-professional and support staff are trained in the evaluation interpretation and use of data

-The school engages in a continuous process to determine verifiable improvement in student learning including readiness for learning

including readiness for and success at the next level

12 How might these challenges impact student achievement

It is clear we have created a culture and system that support students and staff to put achievement at the forefront of what we do Now we

need to get better at using data to inform and enhance our instruction in a planned and purposeful way The environment is right for change

13 What actions could be taken and incorporated into the School Improvement Plan to address these challenges from the School

Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment

One important action step that can be taken is to place greater focus on the use of data to inform our instruction in a purposeful way We

have the right structures in place to support this work This is really the next natural step in our path to continuous improvement

14How do you ensure that students with disabilities have access to the full array of intervention programs available ie Title I Title

III Section 31a IDEA credit recovery extended learning opportunities

Students with disabilities have access to all of our classes at FHS Students individualized plans (504 Plans or IEPs) are monitored regularly

with administrator oversight to ensure plans are being followed and implemented and that students goals are being met This includes

ensuring that all students have access to our full array of intervention programs

15 Describe the Extended Learning Opportunities that are available for students and in what grades they are available

The idea of an extended learning opportunity is general and includes may things available to students at FHS We offer after school tutoring

3 days a week with teachers there to support students along with peer tutors We also offer additional help in classrooms with content area

teachers and their students This is done before or after school or during lunch We offer a full array of extra-curricular and co-curricular

activities as well as a full compliment of athletic opportunities These and more are available to students of all grades (9-12) at FHS We

consider all of these opportunities to be extended learning opportunities for students

16 What is the process for identifying students for Extended Learning Opportunities and how are parents notified of these

opportunities

Many of the opportunities listed previously are optional for students and we notify parents of this information via listserv emails our weekly

newsletter and our schools website This is also done through teacher-to-parent communication In the case of after-school tutoring or extra

help in classrooms teachers contact parents by phone or email about expectations and opportunities We also use a General Education

Support Team who meets regularly to identify struggling students and offers to provide support to these students through these various

opportunities

17 What evidence do you have to indicate the extent to which the state content standards are being implemented with fidelity ie

horizontal and vertical alignment in all content courses and grade levels

Our district curriculum has begun a review process in the last year in part due to our change from trimesters to semesters Course content

was reviewed and compared to the appropriate standards Changes were made according to the review and now through the growth and

evaluation model administrators and teacher leaders will ensure that this revised curriculum will be implemented as expected in each of our

classrooms

19a Reading- Strengths

Historically FHS has done well in the area of English on the ACT Specifically FHS ACT College Readiness trend data has indicated we are

above state levels in reading and English and have made steady gains over the past several years

19b Reading- Challenges

Reading to access content continues to be an area we want to focus on at FHS This focus impacts all departments because reading is a

critical literacy skill that matters in all subject areasThrough the use of Readers Apprenticeship strategies we hope to engage students in

effective reading strategies that increases their understanding of all content areas

19c Reading- Trends

FHS has seen an increase in reading scores according to the ACT over the past few years However classroom teachers continue to find

frustration in our students abilities to read technical information and to access content in other areas outside English We will be making this

one of our focus in the coming year

We will be learning about and applying strategies from Readers Apprentice at FHS to address the issue of reading for content understanding

This is also in line with district expectations and standards

20a Writing- Strengths

Writing has been the focus many student growth goals and PLT goals Through this goal-setting process and the work that goes along with

it we have seen gains in specific areas related to writing For example there has been a greater focus on providing enough evidence in

writing to support the writers thesis or claim Through the use of common language and expectation classroom-based data indicates that

FHS students are growing in this area

20b Writing- Challenges

Similar to math students can and do have an aversion to writing Despite our focus on writing and specific aspects of writing we continue to

have more work to do in this areaWe will continue to make this a focus of student growth goals and PLT goals going forward In the past

under the trimester model there was limited time to assign multiple writing tasks now with our semester model each class will have more

time making writing more likely to be assigned

20c Writing- Trends

While we have seen some specific areas where improvements have been made based on classroom-level grades we continue to see this an

area needing more growth While our scores are above state levels we still see this as a place for continued focus and growth

that supports one of our SIP goalsTherefore writing will continue to be a focus for our school Also with our lengthened terms teachers will

have more time to focus on writing in each of our classrooms

21a Math- Strengths

In the area of math again we are above state levels however we have seen a plateau of math scores over the past few years on ACT We

have seen a slight reduction of math failures but this remains an area where growth is needed Students who take our AP math classes

continue to do well on AP tests and are successful in the class as well

21b Math- Challenges

Despite a decrease in math failures the rate at which students fail math is still too high This will continue to be a part of our FHS SIP to

address achievement levels in math

21c Math- Trends

Math continues to be a goal area for FHS Failure rates are still too high and require us to continue to examine our instructional approach to

math seeking changes to how math is taught and assessed

Overall FHS has been seeing gains in the area of science on the ACT and specific subgroups haven see a slight closure of the achievement

gap in science At the classroom level science teachers have been focusing on students ability to graph relevant data and use graphs to

understand key data and glean informationThis has been an area of great focus over the past few year and classroom level data indicates

that students are making large gains in this specific area of focus

22b Science- Challenges

As with many subject areas an achievement gap exists for students in the area of science Therefore we need to continue our focus on

helping students to access and succeed at this technical content through specific focus on areas of weakness For example using reading

and other literacy strategies to understand difficult content and succeed with science curriculum

22c Science- Trends

While our efforts have yielded some slight gains in closing the achievement gap in the area of science more work is still needed We need

to continue our focus on individualized instruction so all students are mastering the science standards

Summary

28a Summary

Briefly summarize the strengths and challenges identified in the four kinds of data-demographic process achievementoutcomes

and perception

An analysis of the data is an important part of any organization that is reflective in nature Using a multi-tiered approach to reviewing the

data is key to understand the larger scope of the organization and how it is perceived

We have many things to celebrate that the data tells us we are doing well particularly in the area of leadership school culture and safety

These are positive things to be doing well at and are key to creating an overall environment that support students and staff to grow and

achieve

While there are many positive aspects of our school we still have work to do done and areas to growimproveThis will continue to be the

focus of our SIP and our day to day work Finally it is important to note that even with these areas to improve we do have systems in place

that will help us do this It will simply require a greater focus in these areas

28b Summary

How might the challenges identified in the demographic process and perception data impact student achievement

Whenever you are aware of a challenge it provides an opportunity to grow and improve When we are able to improve these areas then

students will see the results This includes a greater focus on our short-comings that in the end will help students

28c Summary

How will these challenges be addressed in the School Improvement Plans Goals Measurable Objectives Strategies and Activities

for the upcoming year For Priority Schools which of these high need areas will inform the Big Ideas and the ReformRedesign

Plan

In reference to our achievement data FHS will continue our SIP goals focused on improving students reading writing and math skills

These key literacy skills are areas where we need to keep our focus to see greater improvement and growth in our standardized testing data

The other data indicates a need to keep focused on the affective components of our school This means that we will continue our

affectivebehavioral goal around PEAK our positive behavior intervention program The continued focus on both the academic and

affective components of schools data will allow our SIP to reflect where we are as a school and where we are headed

Page 17: School Improvement Plan - Farmington High School · School Improvement Plan Farmington High School Introduction The SIP is a planning tool designed to address student achievement

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School

We have a seasoned staff both in teaching and administration This experience offers much insight into the challenges we face as a school

and the potential solutions that exist The more experienced the staff the higher achievement is likely to be Teachers are confident in the

content they teach and have established routines to rely upon However it is important to note that practices need to be continually

examined and past practices are not always the best practices Our staff strikes a nice balance between reliance on time-tested practices

and being open to new approaches

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

6 As you review the number of years of teaching experience of teachers in your building what impact might this have on student

achievement

Our teachers have been teaching on average more than 10 years This experience allows for a solid foundation on which our school is

built This experienced staff offers students lots of support and they have proven track record of supporting students and facilitating high

levels of student achievement

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

7 As you review the total number of days for school leader absences and note how many were due to professional learning and or

due to illness what impact might this have on student achievement

Our school leaders are not absent very often Occasionally an absence occurs but it is sporadic and only consists of a day here or there

The school leaders do attend a number of meetings and PD sessions but it does not have a negative impact on student achievement In

fact attending these meetings helps the leaders to define the scope of the work for FHS and sets the standards for district expectations

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

8 As you review the total number of days for teacher absences due to professional learning andor illness what impact might this

have on student achievement

Overall teacher attendance is good We do not experience high levels of teacher absenteeism day to day There are occasions where we

have a lot of teachers out and this can be a challenge When substitutes are in the classes learning is slowed It is difficult to replace a

regular classroom teacher When this happens it is short-lived and this is not an overarching problem for us at FHS

TeacherSchool Leader(s) Demographic Data

9 What actions might be taken to address any identified challenges regarding teacherschool leader demographics

We need to continue keeping FHS a place where students and staff want to be This way absenteeism is not a large negative factor We

can continue to monitor and revise our attendance expectations for students to find effective ways to help students attend school all day on a

regular basis

Process Data

Process data is information about the practices and procedures schools use to plan deliver and monitor curriculum instruction and

assessment

10 In reviewing the results of the School Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment what

strandsstandardsindicators stand out as strengths

We were rated highest in the following categories

-Purpose and direction

-Governance and Leadership

Within those categories were rated a level 3 on the schools leadership being committed to a culture of shared values and beliefs and the

schools leadership implementing a continuous improvement process that provides a clear direction for improving conditions that support

student learning We were also rated a level 3 having a governing body that establishes polices and supports practices that ensure effective

administration of the school and operates responsibly and functions effectively Additionally a level 3 was given for leadership and staff

members who foster a culture consistent with the schools purpose and direction and for having an evaluation system that results in improved

professional practice and student success

11 In reviewing the results of the School Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment what

strandsstandardsindicators stand out as challenges

The area where we were rated lowest was using results for continuous improvement In this areas several level 2 ratings were given in the

following areas

-the schools maintaining a clearly defined and comprehensive student assessment system

-professional and support staff continuously collect analyze and apply learning from a range of data sources including comparison and

trend data and students learning instruction program evaluation and organizational conditions

-professional and support staff are trained in the evaluation interpretation and use of data

-The school engages in a continuous process to determine verifiable improvement in student learning including readiness for learning

including readiness for and success at the next level

12 How might these challenges impact student achievement

It is clear we have created a culture and system that support students and staff to put achievement at the forefront of what we do Now we

need to get better at using data to inform and enhance our instruction in a planned and purposeful way The environment is right for change

and growth now we need to ensure we are deliberating implementing the right things to cause change to occur

SY 2015-2016 Page 15 copy 2015 Advance Education Inc All rights reserved unless otherwise granted by written agreement

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School

13 What actions could be taken and incorporated into the School Improvement Plan to address these challenges from the School

Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment

One important action step that can be taken is to place greater focus on the use of data to inform our instruction in a purposeful way We

have the right structures in place to support this work This is really the next natural step in our path to continuous improvement

14How do you ensure that students with disabilities have access to the full array of intervention programs available ie Title I Title

III Section 31a IDEA credit recovery extended learning opportunities

Students with disabilities have access to all of our classes at FHS Students individualized plans (504 Plans or IEPs) are monitored regularly

with administrator oversight to ensure plans are being followed and implemented and that students goals are being met This includes

ensuring that all students have access to our full array of intervention programs

15 Describe the Extended Learning Opportunities that are available for students and in what grades they are available

The idea of an extended learning opportunity is general and includes may things available to students at FHS We offer after school tutoring

3 days a week with teachers there to support students along with peer tutors We also offer additional help in classrooms with content area

teachers and their students This is done before or after school or during lunch We offer a full array of extra-curricular and co-curricular

activities as well as a full compliment of athletic opportunities These and more are available to students of all grades (9-12) at FHS We

consider all of these opportunities to be extended learning opportunities for students

16 What is the process for identifying students for Extended Learning Opportunities and how are parents notified of these

opportunities

Many of the opportunities listed previously are optional for students and we notify parents of this information via listserv emails our weekly

newsletter and our schools website This is also done through teacher-to-parent communication In the case of after-school tutoring or extra

help in classrooms teachers contact parents by phone or email about expectations and opportunities We also use a General Education

Support Team who meets regularly to identify struggling students and offers to provide support to these students through these various

opportunities

17 What evidence do you have to indicate the extent to which the state content standards are being implemented with fidelity ie

horizontal and vertical alignment in all content courses and grade levels

Our district curriculum has begun a review process in the last year in part due to our change from trimesters to semesters Course content

was reviewed and compared to the appropriate standards Changes were made according to the review and now through the growth and

evaluation model administrators and teacher leaders will ensure that this revised curriculum will be implemented as expected in each of our

classrooms

19a Reading- Strengths

Historically FHS has done well in the area of English on the ACT Specifically FHS ACT College Readiness trend data has indicated we are

above state levels in reading and English and have made steady gains over the past several years

19b Reading- Challenges

Reading to access content continues to be an area we want to focus on at FHS This focus impacts all departments because reading is a

critical literacy skill that matters in all subject areasThrough the use of Readers Apprenticeship strategies we hope to engage students in

effective reading strategies that increases their understanding of all content areas

19c Reading- Trends

FHS has seen an increase in reading scores according to the ACT over the past few years However classroom teachers continue to find

frustration in our students abilities to read technical information and to access content in other areas outside English We will be making this

one of our focus in the coming year

This is also in line with district expectations and standards

20a Writing- Strengths

Writing has been the focus many student growth goals and PLT goals Through this goal-setting process and the work that goes along with

it we have seen gains in specific areas related to writing For example there has been a greater focus on providing enough evidence in

writing to support the writers thesis or claim Through the use of common language and expectation classroom-based data indicates that

FHS students are growing in this area

20b Writing- Challenges

Similar to math students can and do have an aversion to writing Despite our focus on writing and specific aspects of writing we continue to

have more work to do in this areaWe will continue to make this a focus of student growth goals and PLT goals going forward In the past

under the trimester model there was limited time to assign multiple writing tasks now with our semester model each class will have more

time making writing more likely to be assigned

20c Writing- Trends

While we have seen some specific areas where improvements have been made based on classroom-level grades we continue to see this an

area needing more growth While our scores are above state levels we still see this as a place for continued focus and growth

21a Math- Strengths

In the area of math again we are above state levels however we have seen a plateau of math scores over the past few years on ACT We

have seen a slight reduction of math failures but this remains an area where growth is needed Students who take our AP math classes

continue to do well on AP tests and are successful in the class as well

21b Math- Challenges

Despite a decrease in math failures the rate at which students fail math is still too high This will continue to be a part of our FHS SIP to

address achievement levels in math

21c Math- Trends

Math continues to be a goal area for FHS Failure rates are still too high and require us to continue to examine our instructional approach to

math seeking changes to how math is taught and assessed

Overall FHS has been seeing gains in the area of science on the ACT and specific subgroups haven see a slight closure of the achievement

gap in science At the classroom level science teachers have been focusing on students ability to graph relevant data and use graphs to

understand key data and glean informationThis has been an area of great focus over the past few year and classroom level data indicates

that students are making large gains in this specific area of focus

22b Science- Challenges

As with many subject areas an achievement gap exists for students in the area of science Therefore we need to continue our focus on

helping students to access and succeed at this technical content through specific focus on areas of weakness For example using reading

and other literacy strategies to understand difficult content and succeed with science curriculum

22c Science- Trends

While our efforts have yielded some slight gains in closing the achievement gap in the area of science more work is still needed We need

to continue our focus on individualized instruction so all students are mastering the science standards

Summary

28a Summary

Briefly summarize the strengths and challenges identified in the four kinds of data-demographic process achievementoutcomes

and perception

An analysis of the data is an important part of any organization that is reflective in nature Using a multi-tiered approach to reviewing the

data is key to understand the larger scope of the organization and how it is perceived

We have many things to celebrate that the data tells us we are doing well particularly in the area of leadership school culture and safety

These are positive things to be doing well at and are key to creating an overall environment that support students and staff to grow and

achieve

While there are many positive aspects of our school we still have work to do done and areas to growimproveThis will continue to be the

focus of our SIP and our day to day work Finally it is important to note that even with these areas to improve we do have systems in place

that will help us do this It will simply require a greater focus in these areas

28b Summary

How might the challenges identified in the demographic process and perception data impact student achievement

Whenever you are aware of a challenge it provides an opportunity to grow and improve When we are able to improve these areas then

students will see the results This includes a greater focus on our short-comings that in the end will help students

28c Summary

How will these challenges be addressed in the School Improvement Plans Goals Measurable Objectives Strategies and Activities

for the upcoming year For Priority Schools which of these high need areas will inform the Big Ideas and the ReformRedesign

Plan

In reference to our achievement data FHS will continue our SIP goals focused on improving students reading writing and math skills

These key literacy skills are areas where we need to keep our focus to see greater improvement and growth in our standardized testing data

The other data indicates a need to keep focused on the affective components of our school This means that we will continue our

affectivebehavioral goal around PEAK our positive behavior intervention program The continued focus on both the academic and

affective components of schools data will allow our SIP to reflect where we are as a school and where we are headed

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School

Process Data

Process data is information about the practices and procedures schools use to plan deliver and monitor curriculum instruction and

assessment

10 In reviewing the results of the School Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment what

strandsstandardsindicators stand out as strengths

We were rated highest in the following categories

-Purpose and direction

-Governance and Leadership

Within those categories were rated a level 3 on the schools leadership being committed to a culture of shared values and beliefs and the

schools leadership implementing a continuous improvement process that provides a clear direction for improving conditions that support

student learning We were also rated a level 3 having a governing body that establishes polices and supports practices that ensure effective

administration of the school and operates responsibly and functions effectively Additionally a level 3 was given for leadership and staff

members who foster a culture consistent with the schools purpose and direction and for having an evaluation system that results in improved

professional practice and student success

11 In reviewing the results of the School Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment what

strandsstandardsindicators stand out as challenges

The area where we were rated lowest was using results for continuous improvement In this areas several level 2 ratings were given in the

following areas

-the schools maintaining a clearly defined and comprehensive student assessment system

-professional and support staff continuously collect analyze and apply learning from a range of data sources including comparison and

trend data and students learning instruction program evaluation and organizational conditions

-professional and support staff are trained in the evaluation interpretation and use of data

-The school engages in a continuous process to determine verifiable improvement in student learning including readiness for learning

including readiness for and success at the next level

12 How might these challenges impact student achievement

It is clear we have created a culture and system that support students and staff to put achievement at the forefront of what we do Now we

need to get better at using data to inform and enhance our instruction in a planned and purposeful way The environment is right for change

and growth now we need to ensure we are deliberating implementing the right things to cause change to occur

SY 2015-2016 Page 15 copy 2015 Advance Education Inc All rights reserved unless otherwise granted by written agreement

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School

13 What actions could be taken and incorporated into the School Improvement Plan to address these challenges from the School

Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment

One important action step that can be taken is to place greater focus on the use of data to inform our instruction in a purposeful way We

have the right structures in place to support this work This is really the next natural step in our path to continuous improvement

14How do you ensure that students with disabilities have access to the full array of intervention programs available ie Title I Title

III Section 31a IDEA credit recovery extended learning opportunities

Students with disabilities have access to all of our classes at FHS Students individualized plans (504 Plans or IEPs) are monitored regularly

with administrator oversight to ensure plans are being followed and implemented and that students goals are being met This includes

ensuring that all students have access to our full array of intervention programs

15 Describe the Extended Learning Opportunities that are available for students and in what grades they are available

The idea of an extended learning opportunity is general and includes may things available to students at FHS We offer after school tutoring

3 days a week with teachers there to support students along with peer tutors We also offer additional help in classrooms with content area

teachers and their students This is done before or after school or during lunch We offer a full array of extra-curricular and co-curricular

activities as well as a full compliment of athletic opportunities These and more are available to students of all grades (9-12) at FHS We

consider all of these opportunities to be extended learning opportunities for students

16 What is the process for identifying students for Extended Learning Opportunities and how are parents notified of these

opportunities

Many of the opportunities listed previously are optional for students and we notify parents of this information via listserv emails our weekly

newsletter and our schools website This is also done through teacher-to-parent communication In the case of after-school tutoring or extra

help in classrooms teachers contact parents by phone or email about expectations and opportunities We also use a General Education

Support Team who meets regularly to identify struggling students and offers to provide support to these students through these various

opportunities

17 What evidence do you have to indicate the extent to which the state content standards are being implemented with fidelity ie

horizontal and vertical alignment in all content courses and grade levels

Our district curriculum has begun a review process in the last year in part due to our change from trimesters to semesters Course content

was reviewed and compared to the appropriate standards Changes were made according to the review and now through the growth and

evaluation model administrators and teacher leaders will ensure that this revised curriculum will be implemented as expected in each of our

classrooms

19a Reading- Strengths

Historically FHS has done well in the area of English on the ACT Specifically FHS ACT College Readiness trend data has indicated we are

above state levels in reading and English and have made steady gains over the past several years

19b Reading- Challenges

Reading to access content continues to be an area we want to focus on at FHS This focus impacts all departments because reading is a

critical literacy skill that matters in all subject areasThrough the use of Readers Apprenticeship strategies we hope to engage students in

effective reading strategies that increases their understanding of all content areas

19c Reading- Trends

FHS has seen an increase in reading scores according to the ACT over the past few years However classroom teachers continue to find

frustration in our students abilities to read technical information and to access content in other areas outside English We will be making this

one of our focus in the coming year

19d Reading- Summary

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School

Summarize how these challenges will be addressed in your School Improvement Plan Indicate Not Applicable (NA) if there is no

challenge or this challenge will not be addressed at this time in the School Improvement Plan Indicate the relevance or impact on

tiered instruction if appropriate

We will be learning about and applying strategies from Readers Apprentice at FHS to address the issue of reading for content understanding

This is also in line with district expectations and standards

20a Writing- Strengths

Writing has been the focus many student growth goals and PLT goals Through this goal-setting process and the work that goes along with

it we have seen gains in specific areas related to writing For example there has been a greater focus on providing enough evidence in

writing to support the writers thesis or claim Through the use of common language and expectation classroom-based data indicates that

FHS students are growing in this area

20b Writing- Challenges

Similar to math students can and do have an aversion to writing Despite our focus on writing and specific aspects of writing we continue to

have more work to do in this areaWe will continue to make this a focus of student growth goals and PLT goals going forward In the past

under the trimester model there was limited time to assign multiple writing tasks now with our semester model each class will have more

time making writing more likely to be assigned

20c Writing- Trends

While we have seen some specific areas where improvements have been made based on classroom-level grades we continue to see this an

area needing more growth While our scores are above state levels we still see this as a place for continued focus and growth

20d Writing- Summary

that supports one of our SIP goalsTherefore writing will continue to be a focus for our school Also with our lengthened terms teachers will

have more time to focus on writing in each of our classrooms

21a Math- Strengths

In the area of math again we are above state levels however we have seen a plateau of math scores over the past few years on ACT We

have seen a slight reduction of math failures but this remains an area where growth is needed Students who take our AP math classes

continue to do well on AP tests and are successful in the class as well

21b Math- Challenges

Despite a decrease in math failures the rate at which students fail math is still too high This will continue to be a part of our FHS SIP to

address achievement levels in math

21c Math- Trends

Math continues to be a goal area for FHS Failure rates are still too high and require us to continue to examine our instructional approach to

math seeking changes to how math is taught and assessed

Math will continue to be a SIP goal for FHS Therefore teachers in our math department will be selecting a student growth goal and PLT

goals that support this work Other departments are also looking at ways to improve math scores for students at FHS

22a Science- Strengths

Overall FHS has been seeing gains in the area of science on the ACT and specific subgroups haven see a slight closure of the achievement

gap in science At the classroom level science teachers have been focusing on students ability to graph relevant data and use graphs to

understand key data and glean informationThis has been an area of great focus over the past few year and classroom level data indicates

that students are making large gains in this specific area of focus

22b Science- Challenges

As with many subject areas an achievement gap exists for students in the area of science Therefore we need to continue our focus on

helping students to access and succeed at this technical content through specific focus on areas of weakness For example using reading

and other literacy strategies to understand difficult content and succeed with science curriculum

22c Science- Trends

While our efforts have yielded some slight gains in closing the achievement gap in the area of science more work is still needed We need

to continue our focus on individualized instruction so all students are mastering the science standards

fixing the issue Then we need to continue our focus on relationships and building a respectful rapport with each student This can be

supported through are restorative practices and PEAK support program

Summary

28a Summary

Briefly summarize the strengths and challenges identified in the four kinds of data-demographic process achievementoutcomes

and perception

An analysis of the data is an important part of any organization that is reflective in nature Using a multi-tiered approach to reviewing the

data is key to understand the larger scope of the organization and how it is perceived

We have many things to celebrate that the data tells us we are doing well particularly in the area of leadership school culture and safety

These are positive things to be doing well at and are key to creating an overall environment that support students and staff to grow and

achieve

While there are many positive aspects of our school we still have work to do done and areas to growimproveThis will continue to be the

focus of our SIP and our day to day work Finally it is important to note that even with these areas to improve we do have systems in place

that will help us do this It will simply require a greater focus in these areas

28b Summary

How might the challenges identified in the demographic process and perception data impact student achievement

Whenever you are aware of a challenge it provides an opportunity to grow and improve When we are able to improve these areas then

students will see the results This includes a greater focus on our short-comings that in the end will help students

28c Summary

How will these challenges be addressed in the School Improvement Plans Goals Measurable Objectives Strategies and Activities

for the upcoming year For Priority Schools which of these high need areas will inform the Big Ideas and the ReformRedesign

Plan

In reference to our achievement data FHS will continue our SIP goals focused on improving students reading writing and math skills

These key literacy skills are areas where we need to keep our focus to see greater improvement and growth in our standardized testing data

The other data indicates a need to keep focused on the affective components of our school This means that we will continue our

affectivebehavioral goal around PEAK our positive behavior intervention program The continued focus on both the academic and

affective components of schools data will allow our SIP to reflect where we are as a school and where we are headed

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School

13 What actions could be taken and incorporated into the School Improvement Plan to address these challenges from the School

Systems Review or the Interim Self AssessmentSelf Assessment

One important action step that can be taken is to place greater focus on the use of data to inform our instruction in a purposeful way We

have the right structures in place to support this work This is really the next natural step in our path to continuous improvement

14How do you ensure that students with disabilities have access to the full array of intervention programs available ie Title I Title

III Section 31a IDEA credit recovery extended learning opportunities

Students with disabilities have access to all of our classes at FHS Students individualized plans (504 Plans or IEPs) are monitored regularly

with administrator oversight to ensure plans are being followed and implemented and that students goals are being met This includes

ensuring that all students have access to our full array of intervention programs

15 Describe the Extended Learning Opportunities that are available for students and in what grades they are available

The idea of an extended learning opportunity is general and includes may things available to students at FHS We offer after school tutoring

3 days a week with teachers there to support students along with peer tutors We also offer additional help in classrooms with content area

teachers and their students This is done before or after school or during lunch We offer a full array of extra-curricular and co-curricular

activities as well as a full compliment of athletic opportunities These and more are available to students of all grades (9-12) at FHS We

consider all of these opportunities to be extended learning opportunities for students

16 What is the process for identifying students for Extended Learning Opportunities and how are parents notified of these

opportunities

Many of the opportunities listed previously are optional for students and we notify parents of this information via listserv emails our weekly

newsletter and our schools website This is also done through teacher-to-parent communication In the case of after-school tutoring or extra

help in classrooms teachers contact parents by phone or email about expectations and opportunities We also use a General Education

Support Team who meets regularly to identify struggling students and offers to provide support to these students through these various

opportunities

17 What evidence do you have to indicate the extent to which the state content standards are being implemented with fidelity ie

horizontal and vertical alignment in all content courses and grade levels

Our district curriculum has begun a review process in the last year in part due to our change from trimesters to semesters Course content

was reviewed and compared to the appropriate standards Changes were made according to the review and now through the growth and

evaluation model administrators and teacher leaders will ensure that this revised curriculum will be implemented as expected in each of our

classrooms

AchievementOutcome Data

Achievementoutcome data tell us what students have learned These include classroom-level benchmark interim and formative

assessment data as well as summative data such as standardized test scores from annual district and state assessments If the school

completed the Student Performance Diagnostic for the AdvancED External Review please insert lsquoSee Student Performance Diagnosticrsquo in

each text box

19a Reading- Strengths

Historically FHS has done well in the area of English on the ACT Specifically FHS ACT College Readiness trend data has indicated we are

above state levels in reading and English and have made steady gains over the past several years

19b Reading- Challenges

Reading to access content continues to be an area we want to focus on at FHS This focus impacts all departments because reading is a

critical literacy skill that matters in all subject areasThrough the use of Readers Apprenticeship strategies we hope to engage students in

effective reading strategies that increases their understanding of all content areas

19c Reading- Trends

FHS has seen an increase in reading scores according to the ACT over the past few years However classroom teachers continue to find

frustration in our students abilities to read technical information and to access content in other areas outside English We will be making this

one of our focus in the coming year

We will be learning about and applying strategies from Readers Apprentice at FHS to address the issue of reading for content understanding

This is also in line with district expectations and standards

20a Writing- Strengths

Writing has been the focus many student growth goals and PLT goals Through this goal-setting process and the work that goes along with

it we have seen gains in specific areas related to writing For example there has been a greater focus on providing enough evidence in

writing to support the writers thesis or claim Through the use of common language and expectation classroom-based data indicates that

FHS students are growing in this area

20b Writing- Challenges

Similar to math students can and do have an aversion to writing Despite our focus on writing and specific aspects of writing we continue to

have more work to do in this areaWe will continue to make this a focus of student growth goals and PLT goals going forward In the past

under the trimester model there was limited time to assign multiple writing tasks now with our semester model each class will have more

time making writing more likely to be assigned

20c Writing- Trends

While we have seen some specific areas where improvements have been made based on classroom-level grades we continue to see this an

area needing more growth While our scores are above state levels we still see this as a place for continued focus and growth

have more time to focus on writing in each of our classrooms

21a Math- Strengths

In the area of math again we are above state levels however we have seen a plateau of math scores over the past few years on ACT We

have seen a slight reduction of math failures but this remains an area where growth is needed Students who take our AP math classes

continue to do well on AP tests and are successful in the class as well

21b Math- Challenges

Despite a decrease in math failures the rate at which students fail math is still too high This will continue to be a part of our FHS SIP to

address achievement levels in math

21c Math- Trends

Math continues to be a goal area for FHS Failure rates are still too high and require us to continue to examine our instructional approach to

math seeking changes to how math is taught and assessed

gap in science At the classroom level science teachers have been focusing on students ability to graph relevant data and use graphs to

understand key data and glean informationThis has been an area of great focus over the past few year and classroom level data indicates

that students are making large gains in this specific area of focus

22b Science- Challenges

As with many subject areas an achievement gap exists for students in the area of science Therefore we need to continue our focus on

helping students to access and succeed at this technical content through specific focus on areas of weakness For example using reading

and other literacy strategies to understand difficult content and succeed with science curriculum

Summary

28a Summary

Briefly summarize the strengths and challenges identified in the four kinds of data-demographic process achievementoutcomes

and perception

An analysis of the data is an important part of any organization that is reflective in nature Using a multi-tiered approach to reviewing the

data is key to understand the larger scope of the organization and how it is perceived

We have many things to celebrate that the data tells us we are doing well particularly in the area of leadership school culture and safety

These are positive things to be doing well at and are key to creating an overall environment that support students and staff to grow and

achieve

While there are many positive aspects of our school we still have work to do done and areas to growimproveThis will continue to be the

focus of our SIP and our day to day work Finally it is important to note that even with these areas to improve we do have systems in place

that will help us do this It will simply require a greater focus in these areas

28b Summary

How might the challenges identified in the demographic process and perception data impact student achievement

Whenever you are aware of a challenge it provides an opportunity to grow and improve When we are able to improve these areas then

students will see the results This includes a greater focus on our short-comings that in the end will help students

28c Summary

How will these challenges be addressed in the School Improvement Plans Goals Measurable Objectives Strategies and Activities

for the upcoming year For Priority Schools which of these high need areas will inform the Big Ideas and the ReformRedesign

Plan

In reference to our achievement data FHS will continue our SIP goals focused on improving students reading writing and math skills

These key literacy skills are areas where we need to keep our focus to see greater improvement and growth in our standardized testing data

The other data indicates a need to keep focused on the affective components of our school This means that we will continue our

affectivebehavioral goal around PEAK our positive behavior intervention program The continued focus on both the academic and

affective components of schools data will allow our SIP to reflect where we are as a school and where we are headed

19a Reading- Strengths

Historically FHS has done well in the area of English on the ACT Specifically FHS ACT College Readiness trend data has indicated we are

above state levels in reading and English and have made steady gains over the past several years

19b Reading- Challenges

Reading to access content continues to be an area we want to focus on at FHS This focus impacts all departments because reading is a

critical literacy skill that matters in all subject areasThrough the use of Readers Apprenticeship strategies we hope to engage students in

effective reading strategies that increases their understanding of all content areas

19c Reading- Trends

FHS has seen an increase in reading scores according to the ACT over the past few years However classroom teachers continue to find

frustration in our students abilities to read technical information and to access content in other areas outside English We will be making this

one of our focus in the coming year

19d Reading- Summary

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School

Summarize how these challenges will be addressed in your School Improvement Plan Indicate Not Applicable (NA) if there is no

challenge or this challenge will not be addressed at this time in the School Improvement Plan Indicate the relevance or impact on

tiered instruction if appropriate

We will be learning about and applying strategies from Readers Apprentice at FHS to address the issue of reading for content understanding

This is also in line with district expectations and standards

20a Writing- Strengths

Writing has been the focus many student growth goals and PLT goals Through this goal-setting process and the work that goes along with

it we have seen gains in specific areas related to writing For example there has been a greater focus on providing enough evidence in

writing to support the writers thesis or claim Through the use of common language and expectation classroom-based data indicates that

FHS students are growing in this area

20b Writing- Challenges

Similar to math students can and do have an aversion to writing Despite our focus on writing and specific aspects of writing we continue to

have more work to do in this areaWe will continue to make this a focus of student growth goals and PLT goals going forward In the past

under the trimester model there was limited time to assign multiple writing tasks now with our semester model each class will have more

time making writing more likely to be assigned

20c Writing- Trends

While we have seen some specific areas where improvements have been made based on classroom-level grades we continue to see this an

area needing more growth While our scores are above state levels we still see this as a place for continued focus and growth

The area of writing will be again be one of our goals for the FHS School Improvement Plan All teachers must select student growth goals

that supports one of our SIP goalsTherefore writing will continue to be a focus for our school Also with our lengthened terms teachers will

have more time to focus on writing in each of our classrooms

21a Math- Strengths

In the area of math again we are above state levels however we have seen a plateau of math scores over the past few years on ACT We

have seen a slight reduction of math failures but this remains an area where growth is needed Students who take our AP math classes

continue to do well on AP tests and are successful in the class as well

21b Math- Challenges

Despite a decrease in math failures the rate at which students fail math is still too high This will continue to be a part of our FHS SIP to

address achievement levels in math

21c Math- Trends

Math continues to be a goal area for FHS Failure rates are still too high and require us to continue to examine our instructional approach to

math seeking changes to how math is taught and assessed

Math will continue to be a SIP goal for FHS Therefore teachers in our math department will be selecting a student growth goal and PLT

goals that support this work Other departments are also looking at ways to improve math scores for students at FHS

22a Science- Strengths

Overall FHS has been seeing gains in the area of science on the ACT and specific subgroups haven see a slight closure of the achievement

gap in science At the classroom level science teachers have been focusing on students ability to graph relevant data and use graphs to

understand key data and glean informationThis has been an area of great focus over the past few year and classroom level data indicates

that students are making large gains in this specific area of focus

22b Science- Challenges

As with many subject areas an achievement gap exists for students in the area of science Therefore we need to continue our focus on

helping students to access and succeed at this technical content through specific focus on areas of weakness For example using reading

and other literacy strategies to understand difficult content and succeed with science curriculum

22c Science- Trends

While our efforts have yielded some slight gains in closing the achievement gap in the area of science more work is still needed We need

to continue our focus on individualized instruction so all students are mastering the science standards

Summary

28a Summary

Briefly summarize the strengths and challenges identified in the four kinds of data-demographic process achievementoutcomes

and perception

An analysis of the data is an important part of any organization that is reflective in nature Using a multi-tiered approach to reviewing the

data is key to understand the larger scope of the organization and how it is perceived

We have many things to celebrate that the data tells us we are doing well particularly in the area of leadership school culture and safety

These are positive things to be doing well at and are key to creating an overall environment that support students and staff to grow and

achieve

While there are many positive aspects of our school we still have work to do done and areas to growimproveThis will continue to be the

focus of our SIP and our day to day work Finally it is important to note that even with these areas to improve we do have systems in place

that will help us do this It will simply require a greater focus in these areas

28b Summary

How might the challenges identified in the demographic process and perception data impact student achievement

Whenever you are aware of a challenge it provides an opportunity to grow and improve When we are able to improve these areas then

students will see the results This includes a greater focus on our short-comings that in the end will help students

28c Summary

How will these challenges be addressed in the School Improvement Plans Goals Measurable Objectives Strategies and Activities

for the upcoming year For Priority Schools which of these high need areas will inform the Big Ideas and the ReformRedesign

Plan

In reference to our achievement data FHS will continue our SIP goals focused on improving students reading writing and math skills

These key literacy skills are areas where we need to keep our focus to see greater improvement and growth in our standardized testing data

The other data indicates a need to keep focused on the affective components of our school This means that we will continue our

affectivebehavioral goal around PEAK our positive behavior intervention program The continued focus on both the academic and

affective components of schools data will allow our SIP to reflect where we are as a school and where we are headed

19a Reading- Strengths

Historically FHS has done well in the area of English on the ACT Specifically FHS ACT College Readiness trend data has indicated we are

above state levels in reading and English and have made steady gains over the past several years

19b Reading- Challenges

Reading to access content continues to be an area we want to focus on at FHS This focus impacts all departments because reading is a

critical literacy skill that matters in all subject areasThrough the use of Readers Apprenticeship strategies we hope to engage students in

effective reading strategies that increases their understanding of all content areas

19c Reading- Trends

FHS has seen an increase in reading scores according to the ACT over the past few years However classroom teachers continue to find

frustration in our students abilities to read technical information and to access content in other areas outside English We will be making this

one of our focus in the coming year

19d Reading- Summary

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School

Summarize how these challenges will be addressed in your School Improvement Plan Indicate Not Applicable (NA) if there is no

challenge or this challenge will not be addressed at this time in the School Improvement Plan Indicate the relevance or impact on

tiered instruction if appropriate

We will be learning about and applying strategies from Readers Apprentice at FHS to address the issue of reading for content understanding

This is also in line with district expectations and standards

20a Writing- Strengths

Writing has been the focus many student growth goals and PLT goals Through this goal-setting process and the work that goes along with

it we have seen gains in specific areas related to writing For example there has been a greater focus on providing enough evidence in

writing to support the writers thesis or claim Through the use of common language and expectation classroom-based data indicates that

FHS students are growing in this area

20b Writing- Challenges

Similar to math students can and do have an aversion to writing Despite our focus on writing and specific aspects of writing we continue to

have more work to do in this areaWe will continue to make this a focus of student growth goals and PLT goals going forward In the past

under the trimester model there was limited time to assign multiple writing tasks now with our semester model each class will have more

time making writing more likely to be assigned

20c Writing- Trends

While we have seen some specific areas where improvements have been made based on classroom-level grades we continue to see this an

area needing more growth While our scores are above state levels we still see this as a place for continued focus and growth

The area of writing will be again be one of our goals for the FHS School Improvement Plan All teachers must select student growth goals

that supports one of our SIP goalsTherefore writing will continue to be a focus for our school Also with our lengthened terms teachers will

have more time to focus on writing in each of our classrooms

21a Math- Strengths

In the area of math again we are above state levels however we have seen a plateau of math scores over the past few years on ACT We

have seen a slight reduction of math failures but this remains an area where growth is needed Students who take our AP math classes

continue to do well on AP tests and are successful in the class as well

21b Math- Challenges

Despite a decrease in math failures the rate at which students fail math is still too high This will continue to be a part of our FHS SIP to

address achievement levels in math

21c Math- Trends

Math continues to be a goal area for FHS Failure rates are still too high and require us to continue to examine our instructional approach to

math seeking changes to how math is taught and assessed

goals that support this work Other departments are also looking at ways to improve math scores for students at FHS

22a Science- Strengths

Overall FHS has been seeing gains in the area of science on the ACT and specific subgroups haven see a slight closure of the achievement

gap in science At the classroom level science teachers have been focusing on students ability to graph relevant data and use graphs to

understand key data and glean informationThis has been an area of great focus over the past few year and classroom level data indicates

that students are making large gains in this specific area of focus

22b Science- Challenges

As with many subject areas an achievement gap exists for students in the area of science Therefore we need to continue our focus on

helping students to access and succeed at this technical content through specific focus on areas of weakness For example using reading

and other literacy strategies to understand difficult content and succeed with science curriculum

22c Science- Trends

While our efforts have yielded some slight gains in closing the achievement gap in the area of science more work is still needed We need

to continue our focus on individualized instruction so all students are mastering the science standards

Summary

28a Summary

Briefly summarize the strengths and challenges identified in the four kinds of data-demographic process achievementoutcomes

and perception

An analysis of the data is an important part of any organization that is reflective in nature Using a multi-tiered approach to reviewing the

data is key to understand the larger scope of the organization and how it is perceived

We have many things to celebrate that the data tells us we are doing well particularly in the area of leadership school culture and safety

These are positive things to be doing well at and are key to creating an overall environment that support students and staff to grow and

achieve

While there are many positive aspects of our school we still have work to do done and areas to growimproveThis will continue to be the

focus of our SIP and our day to day work Finally it is important to note that even with these areas to improve we do have systems in place

that will help us do this It will simply require a greater focus in these areas

28b Summary

How might the challenges identified in the demographic process and perception data impact student achievement

Whenever you are aware of a challenge it provides an opportunity to grow and improve When we are able to improve these areas then

students will see the results This includes a greater focus on our short-comings that in the end will help students

28c Summary

How will these challenges be addressed in the School Improvement Plans Goals Measurable Objectives Strategies and Activities

for the upcoming year For Priority Schools which of these high need areas will inform the Big Ideas and the ReformRedesign

Plan

In reference to our achievement data FHS will continue our SIP goals focused on improving students reading writing and math skills

These key literacy skills are areas where we need to keep our focus to see greater improvement and growth in our standardized testing data

The other data indicates a need to keep focused on the affective components of our school This means that we will continue our

affectivebehavioral goal around PEAK our positive behavior intervention program The continued focus on both the academic and

affective components of schools data will allow our SIP to reflect where we are as a school and where we are headed

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School

Summarize how these challenges will be addressed in your School Improvement Plan Indicate Not Applicable (NA) if there is no

challenge or this challenge will not be addressed at this time in the School Improvement Plan Indicate the relevance or impact on

tiered instruction if appropriate

We will be learning about and applying strategies from Readers Apprentice at FHS to address the issue of reading for content understanding

This is also in line with district expectations and standards

20a Writing- Strengths

Writing has been the focus many student growth goals and PLT goals Through this goal-setting process and the work that goes along with

it we have seen gains in specific areas related to writing For example there has been a greater focus on providing enough evidence in

writing to support the writers thesis or claim Through the use of common language and expectation classroom-based data indicates that

FHS students are growing in this area

20b Writing- Challenges

Similar to math students can and do have an aversion to writing Despite our focus on writing and specific aspects of writing we continue to

have more work to do in this areaWe will continue to make this a focus of student growth goals and PLT goals going forward In the past

under the trimester model there was limited time to assign multiple writing tasks now with our semester model each class will have more

time making writing more likely to be assigned

20c Writing- Trends

While we have seen some specific areas where improvements have been made based on classroom-level grades we continue to see this an

area needing more growth While our scores are above state levels we still see this as a place for continued focus and growth

The area of writing will be again be one of our goals for the FHS School Improvement Plan All teachers must select student growth goals

that supports one of our SIP goalsTherefore writing will continue to be a focus for our school Also with our lengthened terms teachers will

have more time to focus on writing in each of our classrooms

21a Math- Strengths

In the area of math again we are above state levels however we have seen a plateau of math scores over the past few years on ACT We

have seen a slight reduction of math failures but this remains an area where growth is needed Students who take our AP math classes

continue to do well on AP tests and are successful in the class as well

21b Math- Challenges

Despite a decrease in math failures the rate at which students fail math is still too high This will continue to be a part of our FHS SIP to

address achievement levels in math

21c Math- Trends

Math continues to be a goal area for FHS Failure rates are still too high and require us to continue to examine our instructional approach to

math seeking changes to how math is taught and assessed

Math will continue to be a SIP goal for FHS Therefore teachers in our math department will be selecting a student growth goal and PLT

goals that support this work Other departments are also looking at ways to improve math scores for students at FHS

22a Science- Strengths

Overall FHS has been seeing gains in the area of science on the ACT and specific subgroups haven see a slight closure of the achievement

gap in science At the classroom level science teachers have been focusing on students ability to graph relevant data and use graphs to

understand key data and glean informationThis has been an area of great focus over the past few year and classroom level data indicates

that students are making large gains in this specific area of focus

22b Science- Challenges

As with many subject areas an achievement gap exists for students in the area of science Therefore we need to continue our focus on

helping students to access and succeed at this technical content through specific focus on areas of weakness For example using reading

and other literacy strategies to understand difficult content and succeed with science curriculum

22c Science- Trends

While our efforts have yielded some slight gains in closing the achievement gap in the area of science more work is still needed We need

to continue our focus on individualized instruction so all students are mastering the science standards

Summary

28a Summary

Briefly summarize the strengths and challenges identified in the four kinds of data-demographic process achievementoutcomes

and perception

An analysis of the data is an important part of any organization that is reflective in nature Using a multi-tiered approach to reviewing the

data is key to understand the larger scope of the organization and how it is perceived

We have many things to celebrate that the data tells us we are doing well particularly in the area of leadership school culture and safety

These are positive things to be doing well at and are key to creating an overall environment that support students and staff to grow and

achieve

While there are many positive aspects of our school we still have work to do done and areas to growimproveThis will continue to be the

focus of our SIP and our day to day work Finally it is important to note that even with these areas to improve we do have systems in place

that will help us do this It will simply require a greater focus in these areas

28b Summary

How might the challenges identified in the demographic process and perception data impact student achievement

Whenever you are aware of a challenge it provides an opportunity to grow and improve When we are able to improve these areas then

students will see the results This includes a greater focus on our short-comings that in the end will help students

28c Summary

How will these challenges be addressed in the School Improvement Plans Goals Measurable Objectives Strategies and Activities

for the upcoming year For Priority Schools which of these high need areas will inform the Big Ideas and the ReformRedesign

Plan

In reference to our achievement data FHS will continue our SIP goals focused on improving students reading writing and math skills

These key literacy skills are areas where we need to keep our focus to see greater improvement and growth in our standardized testing data

The other data indicates a need to keep focused on the affective components of our school This means that we will continue our

affectivebehavioral goal around PEAK our positive behavior intervention program The continued focus on both the academic and

affective components of schools data will allow our SIP to reflect where we are as a school and where we are headed

have more time to focus on writing in each of our classrooms

21a Math- Strengths

In the area of math again we are above state levels however we have seen a plateau of math scores over the past few years on ACT We

have seen a slight reduction of math failures but this remains an area where growth is needed Students who take our AP math classes

continue to do well on AP tests and are successful in the class as well

21b Math- Challenges

Despite a decrease in math failures the rate at which students fail math is still too high This will continue to be a part of our FHS SIP to

address achievement levels in math

21c Math- Trends

Math continues to be a goal area for FHS Failure rates are still too high and require us to continue to examine our instructional approach to

math seeking changes to how math is taught and assessed

that students are making large gains in this specific area of focus

22b Science- Challenges

helping students to access and succeed at this technical content through specific focus on areas of weakness For example using reading

and other literacy strategies to understand difficult content and succeed with science curriculum

Summary

28a Summary

Briefly summarize the strengths and challenges identified in the four kinds of data-demographic process achievementoutcomes

and perception

An analysis of the data is an important part of any organization that is reflective in nature Using a multi-tiered approach to reviewing the

data is key to understand the larger scope of the organization and how it is perceived

We have many things to celebrate that the data tells us we are doing well particularly in the area of leadership school culture and safety

These are positive things to be doing well at and are key to creating an overall environment that support students and staff to grow and

achieve

While there are many positive aspects of our school we still have work to do done and areas to growimproveThis will continue to be the

focus of our SIP and our day to day work Finally it is important to note that even with these areas to improve we do have systems in place

that will help us do this It will simply require a greater focus in these areas

28b Summary

How might the challenges identified in the demographic process and perception data impact student achievement

Whenever you are aware of a challenge it provides an opportunity to grow and improve When we are able to improve these areas then

students will see the results This includes a greater focus on our short-comings that in the end will help students

28c Summary

How will these challenges be addressed in the School Improvement Plans Goals Measurable Objectives Strategies and Activities

for the upcoming year For Priority Schools which of these high need areas will inform the Big Ideas and the ReformRedesign

Plan

In reference to our achievement data FHS will continue our SIP goals focused on improving students reading writing and math skills

These key literacy skills are areas where we need to keep our focus to see greater improvement and growth in our standardized testing data

The other data indicates a need to keep focused on the affective components of our school This means that we will continue our

affectivebehavioral goal around PEAK our positive behavior intervention program The continued focus on both the academic and

affective components of schools data will allow our SIP to reflect where we are as a school and where we are headed

Page 24: School Improvement Plan - Farmington High School · School Improvement Plan Farmington High School Introduction The SIP is a planning tool designed to address student achievement

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School

Math will continue to be a SIP goal for FHS Therefore teachers in our math department will be selecting a student growth goal and PLT

goals that support this work Other departments are also looking at ways to improve math scores for students at FHS

22a Science- Strengths

Overall FHS has been seeing gains in the area of science on the ACT and specific subgroups haven see a slight closure of the achievement

gap in science At the classroom level science teachers have been focusing on students ability to graph relevant data and use graphs to

understand key data and glean informationThis has been an area of great focus over the past few year and classroom level data indicates

that students are making large gains in this specific area of focus

22b Science- Challenges

As with many subject areas an achievement gap exists for students in the area of science Therefore we need to continue our focus on

helping students to access and succeed at this technical content through specific focus on areas of weakness For example using reading

and other literacy strategies to understand difficult content and succeed with science curriculum

22c Science- Trends

While our efforts have yielded some slight gains in closing the achievement gap in the area of science more work is still needed We need

to continue our focus on individualized instruction so all students are mastering the science standards

22d Science- Summary

Summarize how these challenges will be addressed in your School Improvement Plan Indicate Not Applicable (NA) if there is no

challenge or this challenge will not be addressed at this time in the School Improvement Plan Indicate the relevance or impact on

tiered instruction if appropriate

Science is an area specifically referenced in our SIP goalsIn addition our literacy goals focused on reading and writing will also to help

students achieve at higher levels in technical content areas such as science

23a Social Studies- Strengths

We offer a comprehensive set of social studies classes where students have equal access to this content Our students are successful on

social studies AP exams and on classroom assessments Students also score above state levels on standardized tests in the area of social

studies

Summary

28a Summary

Briefly summarize the strengths and challenges identified in the four kinds of data-demographic process achievementoutcomes

and perception

An analysis of the data is an important part of any organization that is reflective in nature Using a multi-tiered approach to reviewing the

data is key to understand the larger scope of the organization and how it is perceived

We have many things to celebrate that the data tells us we are doing well particularly in the area of leadership school culture and safety

These are positive things to be doing well at and are key to creating an overall environment that support students and staff to grow and

achieve

While there are many positive aspects of our school we still have work to do done and areas to growimproveThis will continue to be the

focus of our SIP and our day to day work Finally it is important to note that even with these areas to improve we do have systems in place

that will help us do this It will simply require a greater focus in these areas

28b Summary

How might the challenges identified in the demographic process and perception data impact student achievement

Whenever you are aware of a challenge it provides an opportunity to grow and improve When we are able to improve these areas then

students will see the results This includes a greater focus on our short-comings that in the end will help students

28c Summary

How will these challenges be addressed in the School Improvement Plans Goals Measurable Objectives Strategies and Activities

for the upcoming year For Priority Schools which of these high need areas will inform the Big Ideas and the ReformRedesign

Plan

In reference to our achievement data FHS will continue our SIP goals focused on improving students reading writing and math skills

These key literacy skills are areas where we need to keep our focus to see greater improvement and growth in our standardized testing data

The other data indicates a need to keep focused on the affective components of our school This means that we will continue our

affectivebehavioral goal around PEAK our positive behavior intervention program The continued focus on both the academic and

affective components of schools data will allow our SIP to reflect where we are as a school and where we are headed

School Improvement Plan Farmington High School

23b Social Studies- Challenges

As with many subject areas an achievement gap exists for students in the area of social studies Therefore we need to continue our focus

on helping students to access and succeed at this content area through specific focus on areas of weakness For example using reading

and other literacy strategies to understand difficult content and succeed with social studies curriculum

23c Social Studies- Trends

While our efforts have yielded some gains in closing the achievement gap in the area of social studies more work is still needed We need

to continue our focus on individualized instruction so all students are mastering the social studies standards

23d Social Studies- Summary

Summarize how these challenges will be addressed in your School Improvement Plan Indicate Not Applicable (NA) if there is no

challenge or this challenge will not be addressed at this time in the School Improvement Plan Indicate the relevance or impact on

Summary

28a Summary

Briefly summarize the strengths and challenges identified in the four kinds of data-demographic process achievementoutcomes

and perception

An analysis of the data is an important part of any organization that is reflective in nature Using a multi-tiered approach to reviewing the

data is key to understand the larger scope of the organization and how it is perceived

We have many things to celebrate that the data tells us we are doing well particularly in the area of leadership school culture and safety

These are positive things to be doing well at and are key to creating an overall environment that support students and staff to grow and

achieve

While there are many positive aspects of our school we still have work to do done and areas to growimproveThis will continue to be the

focus of our SIP and our day to day work Finally it is important to note that even with these areas to improve we do have systems in place

that will help us do this It will simply require a greater focus in these areas

28b Summary

How might the challenges identified in the demographic process and perception data impact student achievement

Whenever you are aware of a challenge it provides an opportunity to grow and improve When we are able to improve these areas then

students will see the results This includes a greater focus on our short-comings that in the end will help students

28c Summary

How will these challenges be addressed in the School Improvement Plans Goals Measurable Objectives Strategies and Activities

for the upcoming year For Priority Schools which of these high need areas will inform the Big Ideas and the ReformRedesign

Plan

In reference to our achievement data FHS will continue our SIP goals focused on improving students reading writing and math skills

These key literacy skills are areas where we need to keep our focus to see greater improvement and growth in our standardized testing data

The other data indicates a need to keep focused on the affective components of our school This means that we will continue our

affectivebehavioral goal around PEAK our positive behavior intervention program The continued focus on both the academic and

affective components of schools data will allow our SIP to reflect where we are as a school and where we are headed

Summary

28a Summary

Briefly summarize the strengths and challenges identified in the four kinds of data-demographic process achievementoutcomes

and perception

An analysis of the data is an important part of any organization that is reflective in nature Using a multi-tiered approach to reviewing the

data is key to understand the larger scope of the organization and how it is perceived

We have many things to celebrate that the data tells us we are doing well particularly in the area of leadership school culture and safety

These are positive things to be doing well at and are key to creating an overall environment that support students and staff to grow and

achieve

While there are many positive aspects of our school we still have work to do done and areas to growimproveThis will continue to be the

focus of our SIP and our day to day work Finally it is important to note that even with these areas to improve we do have systems in place

that will help us do this It will simply require a greater focus in these areas

28b Summary

How might the challenges identified in the demographic process and perception data impact student achievement

Whenever you are aware of a challenge it provides an opportunity to grow and improve When we are able to improve these areas then

students will see the results This includes a greater focus on our short-comings that in the end will help students

28c Summary

How will these challenges be addressed in the School Improvement Plans Goals Measurable Objectives Strategies and Activities

for the upcoming year For Priority Schools which of these high need areas will inform the Big Ideas and the ReformRedesign

Plan

In reference to our achievement data FHS will continue our SIP goals focused on improving students reading writing and math skills

These key literacy skills are areas where we need to keep our focus to see greater improvement and growth in our standardized testing data

The other data indicates a need to keep focused on the affective components of our school This means that we will continue our

affectivebehavioral goal around PEAK our positive behavior intervention program The continued focus on both the academic and

affective components of schools data will allow our SIP to reflect where we are as a school and where we are headed

Summary

28a Summary

Briefly summarize the strengths and challenges identified in the four kinds of data-demographic process achievementoutcomes

and perception

An analysis of the data is an important part of any organization that is reflective in nature Using a multi-tiered approach to reviewing the

data is key to understand the larger scope of the organization and how it is perceived

We have many things to celebrate that the data tells us we are doing well particularly in the area of leadership school culture and safety

These are positive things to be doing well at and are key to creating an overall environment that support students and staff to grow and

achieve

While there are many positive aspects of our school we still have work to do done and areas to growimproveThis will continue to be the

focus of our SIP and our day to day work Finally it is important to note that even with these areas to improve we do have systems in place

that will help us do this It will simply require a greater focus in these areas

28b Summary

How might the challenges identified in the demographic process and perception data impact student achievement

Whenever you are aware of a challenge it provides an opportunity to grow and improve When we are able to improve these areas then

students will see the results This includes a greater focus on our short-comings that in the end will help students

28c Summary

How will these challenges be addressed in the School Improvement Plans Goals Measurable Objectives Strategies and Activities

for the upcoming year For Priority Schools which of these high need areas will inform the Big Ideas and the ReformRedesign

Plan

In reference to our achievement data FHS will continue our SIP goals focused on improving students reading writing and math skills

These key literacy skills are areas where we need to keep our focus to see greater improvement and growth in our standardized testing data

The other data indicates a need to keep focused on the affective components of our school This means that we will continue our

affectivebehavioral goal around PEAK our positive behavior intervention program The continued focus on both the academic and

affective components of schools data will allow our SIP to reflect where we are as a school and where we are headed

One of the things that comes to mind when considering the lowest area of teacher satisfaction is that we are hiring only a handful of new staff

members in Farmington at this time However this is an indicator that we need to do more to emphasize the Marzano quality instruction

framework adopted by the district several years ago as well as provide a greater emphasis on the PLT process to support teachers new to

the profession

Summary

28a Summary

Briefly summarize the strengths and challenges identified in the four kinds of data-demographic process achievementoutcomes

and perception

An analysis of the data is an important part of any organization that is reflective in nature Using a multi-tiered approach to reviewing the

data is key to understand the larger scope of the organization and how it is perceived

We have many things to celebrate that the data tells us we are doing well particularly in the area of leadership school culture and safety

These are positive things to be doing well at and are key to creating an overall environment that support students and staff to grow and

achieve

While there are many positive aspects of our school we still have work to do done and areas to growimproveThis will continue to be the

focus of our SIP and our day to day work Finally it is important to note that even with these areas to improve we do have systems in place

that will help us do this It will simply require a greater focus in these areas

28b Summary

How might the challenges identified in the demographic process and perception data impact student achievement

Whenever you are aware of a challenge it provides an opportunity to grow and improve When we are able to improve these areas then

students will see the results This includes a greater focus on our short-comings that in the end will help students

28c Summary

How will these challenges be addressed in the School Improvement Plans Goals Measurable Objectives Strategies and Activities

for the upcoming year For Priority Schools which of these high need areas will inform the Big Ideas and the ReformRedesign

Plan

In reference to our achievement data FHS will continue our SIP goals focused on improving students reading writing and math skills

These key literacy skills are areas where we need to keep our focus to see greater improvement and growth in our standardized testing data

The other data indicates a need to keep focused on the affective components of our school This means that we will continue our

affectivebehavioral goal around PEAK our positive behavior intervention program The continued focus on both the academic and

affective components of schools data will allow our SIP to reflect where we are as a school and where we are headed

Summary

28a Summary

Briefly summarize the strengths and challenges identified in the four kinds of data-demographic process achievementoutcomes

and perception

An analysis of the data is an important part of any organization that is reflective in nature Using a multi-tiered approach to reviewing the

data is key to understand the larger scope of the organization and how it is perceived

We have many things to celebrate that the data tells us we are doing well particularly in the area of leadership school culture and safety

These are positive things to be doing well at and are key to creating an overall environment that support students and staff to grow and

achieve

While there are many positive aspects of our school we still have work to do done and areas to growimproveThis will continue to be the

focus of our SIP and our day to day work Finally it is important to note that even with these areas to improve we do have systems in place

that will help us do this It will simply require a greater focus in these areas

28b Summary

How might the challenges identified in the demographic process and perception data impact student achievement

Whenever you are aware of a challenge it provides an opportunity to grow and improve When we are able to improve these areas then

students will see the results This includes a greater focus on our short-comings that in the end will help students

28c Summary

How will these challenges be addressed in the School Improvement Plans Goals Measurable Objectives Strategies and Activities

for the upcoming year For Priority Schools which of these high need areas will inform the Big Ideas and the ReformRedesign

Plan

In reference to our achievement data FHS will continue our SIP goals focused on improving students reading writing and math skills

These key literacy skills are areas where we need to keep our focus to see greater improvement and growth in our standardized testing data

The other data indicates a need to keep focused on the affective components of our school This means that we will continue our

affectivebehavioral goal around PEAK our positive behavior intervention program The continued focus on both the academic and

affective components of schools data will allow our SIP to reflect where we are as a school and where we are headed
