Case Study: Ivy Hall Elementary School Improvement Plan

Communication within the Westside School District No. 5 between the school district and the communities and families that it serves is a very dynamic process. I talked with district administrators, community members, researched pertinent information in the Arkansas State University library, and various governmental online sources and found very helpful information to include in this sociological inventory. Westside Consolidated School District No. 5 is a consolidation of primarily three school districts Bono, Cash and Egypt located in Craighead County, Arkansas in 1966 (Westside, 2017). The district also includes parts of Walnut Ridge and Alicia in Lawrence County and parts of Jonesboro in Craighead County. The district has three school buildings housing students from pre-Kindergarten through twelfth grade. The elementary school is the school for

In order to improve East Bridgewater Jr/Sr High School in hopes to once again achieve a level one rating from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts’ Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, I have identified the three following goals in hope to increase the school’s rating. Two of the three goals have a direct impact on the school 's ranking while the third has an indirect correlation. The three goals are as follows:

If I was the principle of Metro High School I would use the four types of reinforcements to motivate the students to improve performance and attendance.* This change of policies would realisticly take place over long period of time with a good system of data collection and other types of control functions. It is also very important to have the parents of the children involve as much as possible.

As the course of weeks of planning have interpose realizing a campus improvement plan is an essential item for any growth of a learning environment. Modifying our processes, teaching practices and student learning is vital to notice in order to make our action plan become successful. We must not forget the fact that our action plan is intertwined with the vision and mission set up by the administration team for the campus. Following this will be a chart as a draft of a school improvement plan based on the data acquired from Del Castillo Elementary. It includes a summary of the feedback and goals set by my principal mentor and

The plan outlines five goals that we have found for our school district. These goals show our commitment to provide the highest possible standards of education for all students in our district and to ensure the fair and equitable treatment of all members of our community. We consider understanding individual differences in each student and teacher so that we can adopt the appropriate programs of study for them of the utmost importance.

Westbrook Christian School clearly states the goal improvement goals and demonstrates a grasp of the importance of data collection. School improvement goals are set with timeline and action plans, persons responsible to carry out the plans are listed, and evaluation tools are also stated in the improvement plans. Furthermore, the school recognizes not only the importance of data collection but also the significance of analyzing and using the data more effectively.

After the vision statement was written by faulty and staff members it was then approved by the school improvement council, which is made up of community stakeholders. Each school is required to develop a school improvement plan based around the school’s vision. The faculty then looked at the school data and identified gaps were improvements were needed to reach the vision. Then three smart goals were created that would allow the school to make progress in meeting the school’s vision. Garrett goals were to increase overall EOC pass rate in all testing by at least 5%, ensure that the 2014-2015 Graduation Rate meets or exceeds the CCSD Standard and our CTE Completer Rate is 95% and ensure student personal growth in preparation for the real world by effectively using the Student Support Time/Advisory period. All three of the goals will help the school make adequate progress towards achieving the vision of making all graduates college and career ready. Two of the three goals are measurable but the last goal is somewhat subjective in identifying rather or not it was met. At the start of each school year these goals are evaluated on the data. If the goal has been meet the stakeholders then create a new goal to continue moving forward. If it is not met the re-evaluate the strategies used and see how they can improve to meet the needed goals to improve student leaning. Due to the fact that the school report card has not been

Melbourne is a very small town in north central Arkansas. Melbourne is located on the edge of the Ozark Mountains. This area is sometimes referred to as the gateway to the Ozarks. Natural beauty can be found all through Melbourne and Izard County. The outdoors are a big component of Melbourne from lakes and camping to hunting and fishing.

The school is responsible for designing and implementing strategies to reach the educational goals of students. The particular high school beliefs that all kids can learn and that the mission of this school is to challenge each student to learn, achieve, and fulfill his /her potential. Principals should lead each school in implementing the policies. In addition, this high school’s improvement plan of the three legal issues: unsupervised students, hallways, and field

As an educational leader, I must have a vision and mission statement for the school that is known by the staff, students, and parents. The vision will address the needs of the students academically, emotionally, and socially. According to DuFour (1998), “ Those who seek to transform their school into a professional learning community as characterized by an environment fostering mutual cooperation, emotional support, personal growth, and a synergy of efforts.” The leader must implement a plan that will cultivate the success of all students. The mission will speak to the direction of the school community stating what the desire goals are. The building leader will lead by example. High expectations will be communicated and encourage by staff and students. The educational leader of a school must develop a culture of team work to create a climate that is student friendly. The vision mission and goals of the leader should be transparent. The establishment of common goals is the first step. Without common goals, sustainable progress will be impossible and thus everyone will have lower expectations. The students, parents, and staff should be commented to the goals of every child reaching their full academic potential. The school environment should speak to goal setting and high expectations for all students and staff.

Simon Middle School is committed to providing an opportunity for every child to attain an appropriate and quality education. It is our goal to emphasize high expectations of strong character and ethical values to help students learn from each of life 's experiences. Our mission is to equip our students with the tools needed that will enable them to overcome any adversity they may face and become life-long learners.

It is important to create a plan to guarantee the development of the improvement at school with its respective standards and pertinent goals. In the School Improvement Plan (SIP) it is found information, where the school wants to be or it is asked to be, is encounter information of where the school wants to be or is required to be, it is a resource to develop the process and the goals to achieve. The school leader is the one that sets the goals at school? Where is the goals based on? Bernhard, (2004) mentions that the plan for improvement has to be align with the analyzed data, where administrators, teachers and other school personnel will collaborate for a common goal the learning acquisition of the students. The student’s scores reflect that are some gaps in the skills for the L.A. Gillland Elementary School, for this it is necessary to work in vertical teams and create a schedule to allow teacher to collaborate among different grade levels.

The main point of the document is that the student need to find something they like to do and try to do it well and to learn new thing. Motivating the students to do good in school and in every thing they try to do will help them in the long run. What can also help is showing the kids to lose for in the future they can know what to do, like get back up and try harder. Student success is for everyone but it matters in the way that the student tries to pass all his classes or other things that the students have to do. As many

As we review and synthesize data of a district for planning school improvement, the following information is needed to access and determine the needs of a school. First, a thorough analysis of performance data must be reviewed to see how school districts measure up with state and federal accountability. During this process, it is very important that schools focus the performance indicators that will guarantee growth and success. School teams must refer to the districts mission and vision to guide the planning process. The performance indicators will provide data that will be beneficial in creating improvement strategies. So, after careful evaluation of the data, the next step would be to plan effective methods and strategies that will improve student achievement. Moreover, this plan should include needs, demographics and opportunities for students to be successful. Additionally, the baseline data is important information to include in the improvement plan.
