SIT Meeting Aug 27, 2012 -- School Improvement Plan, first step

CHAMPS review—went over pretty well, and voting results showed good consensus among the staff

CHAMPS consequences:
  • We don’t want to add to teachers' plates
  • Provide something that is easy to administer
  • Teachers are addressing students who are not their own. 
  • Offer a menu of basic items (most taken care on the spot)
    • What about repeat offenders?
Options:
  • Elkins:  prefers bucket list of items to choose from.
  • Gentry:  conferencing with students is helpful--she did with three students just this morning 
  • We should be in agreement with a list of three or four interventions
  • If it gets beyond the menu items, then it takes it to a higher notch, and we need to document
List of possible interventions (not in any particular order)
  • Verbal warning
  • Pull them out of line to conference with student (wait)
  • Escort student to class
  • Put student at front or back of line (walk back to a point and walk again)
  • Hold student until everyone proceeds to class
  • If problem persists, then revisit regular interventions, consult with team/call parent/solicit the help of an administrator.
  • Brendan will share with staff
School Improvement Plan:
  • Parent survey results--Over 300 responses—overall very positive 
    •  Timetable for School Improvement plan:  due second week of October
  • Identify  possible priorities
  • Then start on a skeleton of a plan
  • Members got into groups of two or three people
    • what data stands out: positive/negative/missing?
  • People don’t feel like they are being bullied
  • Data that stands out:  reading for all three grade levels lower proficiency
  • Weakness:  Teachers consistently enforce rules of student conduct (big drop)Also,  Staff didn’t feel like we were all on the same page, but we are addressing with CHAMPS
  • Policy and procedures of student conduct are well known by faculty: 97% to 79%
  • Weaknesses:  Teacher—felt short amount of planning—addressing with no tutoring
  • Top Priorities that emerge:
  • Policies and Procedures (Champs) (also shown in student survey—don’t understand expectations of their conduct)
    • Continue literacy across the content areas to address reading
  • Missing data:  what caused white students to not to make AYP?
  • Parent  support teachers in contributing to the success of students (saw a drop on the teacher survey)  curriculum nights? other parent interventions and reaching out?
  • Teachers have sufficient access to instructional technology did drop—do we want to address?  Laptop cart.
  • Missing data—EVASS predictor scores before the EOG’s
  • Gentry to review feedback forms completed at this meeting and summarize results. 
  • Here is a link to the notes that Ms Gentry summarized
