COMPREHENSIVE SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT PLAN
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
PLAN SUMMARY
The stakeholders of Shopville
Elementary School will strive to achieve each of the goals and objectives in
the following Comprehensive School Improvement Plan.
Throughout each component of the plan, the ultimate goal is to improve
teaching and learning in order to fulfill the school’s mission statement of
enabling students to become life-long learners and eventually, productive
members of society.
We will increase our CATS indices
in each content area. In addition,
achievement gaps for specific subgroups (males, students receiving free/
reduced lunch, students with disabilities) will be decreased and the total
number of students scoring at the novice performance level will be reduced.
Process summary
All stakeholders were involved in the development of this Comprehensive School
Improvement Plan. On November 7,
2005, the staff, parent representatives, and members of the central office
staff analyzed and disaggregated assessment data.
This information assisted the Needs Assessment Team in developing key
findings, priority needs, and possible causes and contributing factors.
MISSION STATEMENT
DEVELOPMENT AND REVIEW
Shopville Elementary Mission Statement: The entire staff of
Shopville Elementary School accepts the responsibility to facilitate the
learning of all students, enabling them to achieve their personal best
academically, socially, physically, and emotionally.
This will ensure that all students acquire the knowledge necessary for
them to function as life-long learners and productive members of society.
Our mission statement was originally created in 2001 but has
been reviewed and discussed regularly. In
October 2005, all staff members reviewed the statement and it was agreed that
the current mission statement defines what each of us believes and desires to
achieve for each of our students.
NEEDS ASSESSMENT PROCESS; PRIORITY NEEDS, CAUSES, GOALS, AND
OBJECTIVES; ACHIEVEMENT GAPS
The Needs Assessment Committee completed an in-depth
self-study utilizing the Standards and Indicators for School Improvement (SISI).
The SISI document, assessment data, and teacher and parent surveys were
all used to identify the needs and possible causes and contributing factors.
The SISI document will continue to guide the work of the Planning
Committee and SBDM committees throughout the year.
The Needs Assessment committee consisted of: Holly Mounce
(special education teacher), Margaret Barron (community member), Dana Isaacs
(instructional assistant), Sheryl Cooper (G/T Specialist), Kim Davis (speech
pathologist/ SBDM teacher), Shirley Hargis (kindergarten teacher), Roben
Haynes (Parent), Bud Meece (Title I teacher), Tracy Rice (1st grade
teacher), Molly Dalton (4th grade teacher), Delsie LeMaster (5th
grade teacher), Pam Strunk (3rd grade teacher), Stephanie Blevins
(2nd grade teacher), and Shannon Dick (curriculum specialist/
building facilitator).
On November 2005, the Needs Assessment committee met to begin
organizing data into key findings. Members
of the committee worked together to analyze each of the Standards and
Indicators, compile survey results, and review the achievement gap plan and
testing analysis documents developed on Nov.7, 2005.
On Nov. 30, 2005, the committee compiled the results into key findings
and determined which of the key findings were priority needs.
On Dec. 6, 2005, the committee began recording possible causes and
contributing factors for the identified priority needs.
This work was completed on Dec. 13, 2005 and the Planning Committee was
then ready to begin developing goals and objectives along with activities/
strategies to address them.
The SBDM Council decided on the priority needs, causes, goals
and objectives at the regularly scheduled meeting on January 24, 2006.
The council approved the Achievement Gap plan, including the
identification of substantive gaps, gap targets, and time schedules for
closing the identified gaps, at the November 2005 council meeting.
DRAFTS OF ACTION COMPONENTS
The Planning committee began work on the action components in
early January. The committee
consisted of the following members: Joy Ball, FRC Coordinator; Sonia Corder, 2nd
grade teacher; Beverly Stringer, 1st grade teacher; Kim Davis, SLP/SBDM
member; Susan Doss, 1st grade teacher; Betty Eggers, kindergarten
teacher; Rebecca Ford, 3rd grade teacher; Janet New, LMS; Lana
Renner, preschool teacher; Robin Gates, 4th grade teacher; Delana
Smith, music teacher; Debbie Washam, 2nd grade teacher; and Shannon
Dick, building facilitator. The
committee met one to two times per week. They
finished the draft components on Feb. 27, 2006.
Drafts of the action components were reviewed at the February
and March 2006 SBDM meetings.
ESTIMATES FOR SECTION 7 FUNDING
The SBDM Council reviewed estimates for costs and drafts of
the Section 7 requests at the March 28, 2006 meeting.
INTERNAL REVIEW, EXTERNAL REVIEW, AND PUBLIC PRESENTATION
The Review Team consisted of the following members: Rhonda
Hewitt, 3rd grade teacher/ SBDM member; Ronda Crawford, STC; Susan
Doss, 1st grade teacher; Rebecca Cash, 5th grade
teacher; Teresa Roark-Adams, special education liaison; Mary Hendricksen,
preschool teacher; Patty Hibbs, kindergarten teacher; Arlene Broyles,
instructional assistant; Misty Newberry, 1st grade teacher; Wendy
Ping, Title I teacher/ SBDM member; Kristy Nicely, special education teacher;
Stephanie Harris, 5th grade teacher; Rebecca Ford, 3rd
grade teacher; and Shannon Dick, building facilitator.
The Plan will be presented to the community at the April 17,
2006 PTA meeting. There are always
parents, teachers, and community members at the PTA meetings.
In addition, the plan will be available for review at the school from
April 10, 2006 through April 21, 2006. This
will be publicized in the newspaper
APPROVAL, ADOPTION, AND REVISION OF THE PLAN
The SBDM Council at the May 2006 meeting will officially
adopt the revised Plan for the 2006-2008 biennium.
The Plan will be revised as assessment information is
received and analyzed (Nov. of each year).
Implementation
and Impact Checks will officially be conducted three times per year.
However, the plan will be reviewed and monitored at each SBDM Council
meeting.

Priority Need |
Goal |
|
In the
2005 KY performance report, our total Academic Index is 65.7, with the
following indices in each content area: ·
Reading 80.8, with
13.21% Novice;
|
Indices in
the following content areas will increase by the 2008 CATS assessment:
*Fifth
grade accountability areas have been calculated using 2004 data. The following Novice
reduction rates will be met by the 2008 CATS assessment: ·
Reading will reduce by 2.1%
to 11.1%; ·
Mathematics will reduce by
11.5% to 39.3%; ·
Social Studies will reduce
by 9.5% to 33.4%; ·
Science will be reduced to
5% or below; ·
Arts and Humanities will be
reduced by 8.3% to 29.8%; ·
PL/VS will be reduced by
5.9% to 22.7%; and ·
No
more than 7% of students will score in the lowest quartile on the
National NRT. |
|
Causes of the Need |
Objectives For Reaching the
Goal |
|
®Based
on the SISI self-study conducted in November 2005, we found the
following causes:
®
According to parent surveys sent home in November 2005, the majority of
parents are not aware of everything their children will learn during the
current school year. (1.1g) ®
CATS results show that there were numerous blanks, ones, and zeros on
the open response questions in contradiction with the Good Faith Effort
Checklists maintained by the test monitors.
(2.1f) ®
Results from the Test Analysis meeting indicated the following:
Teachers
report that more training in on-demand writing and open response would
improve student achievement. (6.2f) |
|
|
Evidence
of Causes |
Measures
of Objectives (Practice and Results) |
|
·
According to the KPR, scores in subdomains in
each content area show inconsistencies.
Some subdomains are being taught in great depth while others are
being neglected. ·
The majority of parents indicate that they do not
understand what their child will learn during the year. ·
There is a large discrepancy between the results
of the Good Faith Effort Checklist and the KPR report.
According to the KPR, there were a high number of blanks, ones,
and zeros on the open response portion of the KCCT. ·
No
student scored at the proficient or distinguished level in on-demand
writing. |
A.
By
August 2007, the curriculum will be aligned and mapped according to Core
Content 4.0, Program of Studies, and Academic Expectations.
The revised curriculum will assist to increase student
achievement on daily work, classroom assessments, and CATS. B.
By
December 2007, the evaluation and assessment plan will be in place.
This plan will contain guidelines for aligning classroom
assessments and Depth of Knowledge (DOK), the scrimmage process, and
other pertinent assessment information. C.
By
May 2008, student performance in all content areas will improve as
evidenced by the increase in the students performing at the proficient
level and the decrease of students scoring at the novice level. |

Priority
Need |
Goal |
|
The
school works with families and the community to remove barriers for our
students. However, we do not
consistently communicate and apply the highest expectations for our
students including: academics, attendance, and attitude/ behavior.
Self-evaluation and reflection of student achievement, teaching
methods and strategies, policies, and professional development are not
always used to improve learning and teaching.
This is evidenced through our current Accountability Index of
67.8. |
By
June 2007, the school will remove barriers to improve student
achievement through better communication with parents, students and the
community. |
|
Causes
of the Need |
Objectives
For Reaching the Goal |
|
®Barriers
still exist which hinder the performance of some students. ®Parents
are not aware of services available through the school and FRC.
In addition, they are not aware of the expectations of their
child while at school. |
A. Parent
and staff communication will increase so that all parties will have a
better understanding of expectations at each grade level as well as
services provided to guarantee that all students meet those
expectations. B.
Staff will be provided appropriate professional development and
parents will be offered workshop opportunities based on student needs. |
|
Evidence
of Causes |
Measures
of Objectives (Practice and Results) |
|
According
to parent surveys and transition surveys:
®
According to staff and parent surveys, staff and parents need on-going
professional development for staff and workshops for parents to continue
to increase student success (6.1b). ® By
examining the number of students in the proficient range on the KCCT, it
is evident that expectations for all students are not at the proficient/
distinguished level. (4.1c) ®
Not all classroom teachers send home weekly newsletters (4.1g). ®
Professional development needs to be more focused on individual
teachers’ needs (6.1a). ®
74% of our students qualify for free or reduced lunch prices (5.1c). ®
Most parents do not attend PTA meetings and parent/ teacher conferences
(4.1g). |
A.
By January 2007, there will be a 10% increase in parent/staff
communication as evidenced through surveys and parent involvement
reports. B.
By June 2007, all staff will participate in high quality
professional development and interested parents will attend workshops as
evidenced through sign in sheets and PD/workshop evaluations. |

Priority Need |
Goal |
|
According
to the self-study of the Standards and Indicators for School Improvement,
governance issues are not refined to maximize student success:
|
The
SBDM Council/ Committees will ensure that all instructional decisions
support teaching/ learning, high performance expectations, and a positive
learning culture; and maximize the use of time, available space, and other
resources to guarantee high student and staff performance. |
|
Causes of the Need |
Objectives For Reaching the Goal |
|
A.
All SBDM policies will
be reviewed to ensure that each of them has an intentional focus on
student achievement. B.
Placements, schedules, and
all other pertinent resources will be identified and in place to maximize
teaching and learning and support high student and staff performances. C.
The Comprehensive
School Improvement Plan will communicate a clear purpose, direction, and
action plan focusing on teaching and learning. |

Evidence
of Causes |
Measures of Objectives (Practice and Results) |
|
®
According to staff surveys and SBDM policies: ·
Not all policies that are revised and updated are shared with
stakeholders (7.1i). ·
Staff surveys indicate that 24% of teachers feel our school does not
have clear rules as to how students will behave (7.1g). ® SBDM policies do not include: a discipline and classroom management policy, a curriculum policy articulating specific procedures to address development, alignment, transitions, etc., and an assessment policy (7.1i). ®As a result of SBDM committee meetings following up on the data analysis day, it was determined that all teachers do not have copies of the SBDM policies, curricular documents, and all other relevant documentation. |
A.
By May 2007, all SBDM policies will be reviewed and revised, if
needed, to ensure that all policies have an intentional focus on student
achievement. B. By August of each year, placements, schedules, and other pertinent resources will be identified and in place to maximize teaching and learning and support high student and staff performances. C. By
January 2007, the comprehensive school improvement plan will be revised
based on the most current assessment data.
The plan will communicate a clear purpose, direction, and action
plan focusing on teaching and learning. |
