PREVIOUS YEAR SPP OUTCOMES AND REFLECTION • In this section, document the outcomes from last year's goals and reflect on the root causes surrounding why your school met or did not meet those goals. Outcomes (Effect Data): Complete the chart below Last Year's Goals (auto-populate) Final Outcome (Do not analyze here, just state end outcome) Was the goal met Analyze and provide reflection or not met? on last year’s outcome(s) Goal 1: Increase the number of students in K-8 who are on We do not have final data. or above grade level from 20% on or above GL to 30% on or above GL according to the ADAM K-7 by the end of the school year (June 2015). Not Met The Administrative Team chose to discontinue the use of this test due to students being overtested with Interims and PARCC. Goal 2: In grades K-5 increase the number of students reading on or above grade level as measured by the TRC from 43% (on or above grade level) to 53% (on or above grade level by EOY 2014/15. In grades K-5, 51% of students were on or above grade level as measured by the TRC. In grades 6-8, 23% of students were on or above grade level as measured by GATES MacGinitie. Not Met Students were measure by TRC, but instructed using Success For All Program. The school wide attendance rate was 93.3%. Not Met Although the middle school goal was not met by 2%, the average growth in grades 6-8 was 1.48 years. Increase in middle grades (6-8) the number of students on or above grade level as measured by the GATES MacGinitie data from 10% to 25% by EOY 2014/15. Goal 3: We will successfully increase average school wide student attendance to reach or exceed 95% (last year’s overall attendance was 94.5%) while simultaneously holding the school wide chronic attendance rate to under 10% (last year’s chronic absence rate was 9.1%) as measured by the climate reports and ILT tools by EOY 2014/15. Student enrollment increased by roughly 100 students. New students may not have been familiar with our school wide attendance policy. Goal 4: Reflections on SER Visit: If your school had SER visit then reflect on your SER visit to answer the following questions. Reflection Questions Responses Did the findings from the SER align with your perception of your school’s performance at the time of the site visit? Which findings were surprising? Deflating? Encouraging? School Performance Plan for Holabird Academy 6 of 62 In reviewing the SER findings along with your performance data (qualitative and quantitative) what is the school identifying as an area of focus? Define your current state. What preferred state would you like to reach? What actions you would take to reach your preferred state? School Performance Plan for Holabird Academy 7 of 62 III. INQUIRY In this section, document your questions that your Instructional Leadership Team has regarding teaching, learning, and leadership to support planning for the next academic school year. Keep a focus on past and future shifts in instructional programming in response to standards; and expectations regarding programmatic goals, scheduling and collaborative planning. This is a tool to support the activity of Inquiry which should come before looking at data. o Generating questions before looking at your school’s data supports a focus for the data analysis. o Questions focused on a deeper understanding of contents and grade level expectations for MCCRC and PARCC assessments. o Ask questions directly related to raising the “Bar” for every student. Teaching (Adult Actions) Questions Learning (Student Outcomes) Questions Leadership (ILT Actions) Questions How are teachers finding time and planning for small group instruction? Where do our students stand in Common Core math How are we supporting all teachers in Common core knowledge? CC ELA? CC Writing? MSA Science (5, instruction and lesson planning? 8)? How do we identify individual teacher and staff kowledge of the MCCRS? To what level are our students familiar with the MCCRS? What PD does our staff need to provide high quality content instruction? Waht resources do we need to increase knowledge and use of MCCRS? How do we enhance the students' knowledge and ability to use the MCCRS? What PD does our staff need to ensure a positive climate or culture? What types of PD is required to ensure the teachers Where should the MCCRS be posted and displayed? What expertise do we have in building capacity in increase knowledge of MCCRS? order to share knowledge? How do we recruit the teachers to work with admnistration on the improvement and use of the application of MCCRS? What PD does our staff need in respect to the use of technology as a teaching tool? How is leadership distributed and developed throughout the building? School Performance Plan for Holabird Academy 8 of 62 IV. SCHOOL'S DATA SECTION In this section, provide additional data that supports your school's understanding of previous years' performance. This section will also contain the EOY ILT Tool provided by the district with the following data. o Climate Attendance, Chronic Absence, Suspensions as of 5/30 o HS Academic Data Bridge (# of students with 1 Bridge, # of projects by subject) GPA and At Risk indicators by grade HS Subject Exams (MOC/MT and EOC/Finals) % Proficient o K-8 Academic Data TRC/Dibels BOY and EOY (% Proficient , % Well Below) RISE Reading Comprehension BOY and EOY (% Proficient , % Warning) Math Units (% Proficient on all Post Tests) Literacy Modules (% Proficient) o Administration rates or # tested for all district assessments For previous years' State Assessment data, please refer to the student-level files on Data Link and/or Principal's Dashboard. List additional school based data here: Additional School-Based Data (if applicable) SFA Mastery Data, GATES Reading level, common core aligned writing rubrics School Performance Plan for Holabird Academy 9 of 62 V. ANALYZE DATA TO PRIORITIZE STRENGTHS AND NEEDS Select the data that can answer your inquiry questions and analyze it to document top three strengths and needs within your school. Use this data to identify the problem(s) of practice by conducting a root cause analysis (strengths and needs based on evidence) Prioritize the problem of practice (needs) Prioritized Strengths based on Effect Data (Student Outcomes) Inferences (Why is this an area of strength?) 1. Reduction in Out-School Suspensions Suspensions were limited to just ___ students over 1___ incidents - all of which were "last resort" consequences following a series of in-school interventions including mediation, counseling, restorative practices and alternatives to suspension. Special Education students were disproportionally represented in this category as a result of our city-wide ED PRIDE program. 2. Excellent Teaching Staff The association with Loyola College and Urban Teachers enable our school to provide effective teaching and learning through highly qualified and welltrained teaching staff. 3. Association with School-Community Partners Association with Loyola, Brown Advisory, Urban Teachers and Johns Hopkins University. Prioritized Needs based on Effect Data (Student Outcomes) 1. Increased math mastery as measured by the ADAM K-7 to have an increase in the percentage of students on or above grade level. School Performance Plan for Holabird Academy Inferences (Why is this an area for growth?) There are currently no math assessments given by the district that measure GROWTH. Using the ADAM K-7, we are able to accurately measure grade level growth, growth over time, and grade level in comparison to precise student grade levels. Our students need to increase overall skills to come in line with the Common Core State Standards in order to be fully prepared for high school and college. A major root cause for math being an area of growth overall is the new Common Core State Standards for math and the disproportionate number of specific math skills now addressed in grade levels other than those covered under the MD Voluntary State Curriculum (our previous standards and curricular map). 10 of 62 Prioritized Needs based on Effect Data (Student Outcomes) 2. 3. Inferences (Why is this an area for growth?) Increased percentage of student on or above grade level as measured by Success for All Mastery and TRC data. Increased the percentage of African American and Hispanic students to on or above grade level so that they are scoring about the same as their white peers. The students will improve academic performance and achievement on PARCC test if they do well on SFA and TRC. Maintain Chronic Absence Rate below 10% and increase overall student attendance to at least 95% (an increase of 0.9%) New incentives and strategies will improve school attendance. School Performance Plan for Holabird Academy As we analyzed our data throughout the year, there was no focus on the subgroup data. Teachers focused on the entire child and didn't focus on their classifications. 11 of 62 Principal, please confirm that this section is complete in order to inform reviewers so that feedback can be provided X I confirm that this section has been completed per the standards set forth in the SPP Guidance Manual Network Feedback Date of Feedback Name Title Feedback Executive Director Feedback Date of Feedback Feedback Peer Review Feedback Date of Feedback Feedback 10/9/2015 Missing data points for out of school suspensions; wondering - what tool are you using to quantify "excellent teaching staff"; in the inference section, please address why these are areas of need for ELA and attendance School Performance Plan for Holabird Academy 12 of 62 VI.
