What’s working

1. The sequencing of Algebra II directly after Algebra I. 2. The use of Discovery ThinkLink Formative Assessments data to

establish student data folders so that data is tracked by the school, teachers, students, and parents. Data folders forthcoming.

3. After-school and Saturday tutorials as a mean of giving students additional time on task to master objectives.

What’s not working 1. There is a need for more interventions. We are exploring

begining again with Stanford Math based on second Discovery ThinkLink Formative Assessment data .

Test P N= 26; 34% of the students tested are proficient or above. The remaining 66% are basic or below basic. The largest concentration is at the basic level. The goal is to target the 17 students at basic or below for strategic intervention.

1. Use state practice test materials, item samplers, Coach books, and Test 1 as ongoing instructional tools with students.

2. Target intervention students for after school tutorial, and Saturday Academy (specifically the 13 basic and below basic students)

3. Establish data folders and have students monitor their progress via their data folders.

•Who: Math lead, Felicia Anthony; administrators monitor instruction •Does what: Continues to implement listed strategies•When: Remainder of the 2nd semester, and re-evaluate strategies based on last practice test results.

Algebra I students will meet or exceed the state’s established target for Algebra I Gateway proficiency.

establish student data folders so that data is tracked by the school, teachers, students, and parents.

2. The use of state practice test, Discovery Thinklink tests, and Coach practice books are preparatory testing materials.

3. After-school and Saturday tutorials as means of giving students additional time on task to master objectives.

What’s not working?1. Capturing all students who need intervention beyond class

time. Strong efforts have been and are being made to have students attend after school and Saturday Academy for tutoring.

Student AttendanceStudent Attendance

What’s working

1. Warning phone calls, letters and SART/ PSAP meetings are being conducted to reinforce the district’s attendance policy.

2. Routinely running SMS Chancery Truancy reports to monitor 3 day, 5 day, 10 day excused and unexcused absences. 3. Managing PSAP agreements/ interventions established in the

plan (2 to date).4. School wide celebrations rewarding students for attendance

target goals (one to date for first quarter attendance goal of 95% or better).

What’s not working-Based on data 1. Even with our later 8am start time, students are still tardy to

school. One contributing factor is related to a change in MATA’s bus schedule, which is causing a core group of students to arrive late.

• Many of the same students are tardy everyday;

• Students need to receive immediate feedback on their attendance habits- especially absences

• Our school needs PLASCO system as soon as possible.

• More frequent tracking of tardies to school/class

• Increase parental support with getting students to school everyday on time (Parentlink, Chancery call outs, and personal calls to parents)

• School wide Discipline Plan- attendance Incentives

• Consistent hall sweeps/ duty posts

• FAS Program – faculty/staff mentor frequently absent or tardy students

• Continue with SART and PSAP processes.

• Administration will run truancy reports weekly and hold related attendance meetings thereafter.

• Administration will hold tardy conferences, and issue corrective interventions (detentions and suspensions).

Student attendance will be at 95% or better each 20 day period.

Teacher AttendanceTeacher AttendanceWhat’s working 1. Modified block schedule, which allows teachers to have 4.5 planning

hours of per week. 2. Teacher leadership and accountability are spread beyond teachers’

classrooms (CES grant liaisons, UDL coaching, MTR mentoring, MCNC National Student Leadership Conference sponsorship, student/ teacher interest groups/clubs).

3. Teacher attendance monitoring and reminder letters (Labor Relations) when approaching 5-6 non-school related absent days (9 days represents 5% of teacher workdays).

What’s not working- based on data1. Teacher attitude regarding administrative duties of their job

(92.3% feel the paper work is excessive and 76.9% feel that paperwork is unnecessary per the 2010 Climate Survey)

2. Teacher efficacy regarding struggling students (23% reported that they didn’t feel they could get through to struggling students).

tsAt present less than 10 students are college ready according National ACT College Readiness Benchmarks.

Juniors and seniors will have ACT data folders that will be reviewed with them quarterly, which will focus on their college readiness target distance. This will also help chart next steps for improvement.

Use a spreadsheet of junior and senior ACT subtest and composite scores to aid in tracking # of college ready students and target distance from readiness goals, which will also inform feedback to students and teachers.

Counselor will maintain the spreadsheet and update it after each National test. Updates will notate CR students and distance targets.

Middle College will increase College Readiness by 20%by the end of the 2010-11 school year.

increases course offerings. Recently restructured faculty to include in-house adjunct teachers in math, science and social studies.

2. Monitoring of student progress and attendance in all college courses and quick support interventions for students in need (study groups, instructor support, peer study buddies).
