Needs Assessment Summary and Improvement Plan

Transcription

1 Definition/Purpose: After your data analysis yields a summary of findings, the next step is to engage in the needs assessment process to identify needs and establish priorities. The 5 steps of the needs assessment include: Step 1: Establish Purpose of Needs Assessment and Establish the Team, Step 2: Gather Data, Step 3: Data Analysis, Step 4: Root Cause Analysis, Step 5: Prioritize Needs. The needs assessment process is intended to safeguard against planning or implementing strategies before the root cause of a problem is understood. Identified and Prioritized Needs: It is important to prioritize your needs so that your improvement plan is targeted and focused. Although a CIP/DIP is critical to overall success, this improvement plan is intended to address the specific reasons for low performance in the state accountability system. To ensure a targeted improvement plan, identify what focus areas will have the greatest impact on the reason(s) for low performance in an index, system safeguard or PBM indicator and ensure those are your prioritized needs. Need 1: Need 2: Need 3: Need 4: Need 5: Need 6: Need 7: K-5 teachers need to meet the needs of English Language Learners through effective vocabulary strategies and ESL instruction. K-5 teachers need to deepen students' understanding of math concepts through the use of daily problem solving. K-5 teachers need to plan and implement the district science curriculum using the 5E Model as per the pacing guide. K-5 teachers need to collaborate to develop comprehensive writing lesson plans to include grammar and writing process skills that develop into full composition writing. K-5 teachers need ongoing job embebbed professional development to implement reading instruction effectively. K-5 teachers and staff need to implement research based strategies to improve school climate. ***Important Notice!

Teachers will use the composition to assess student's level of writing 3) skill (baseline). instructional targets. As part of the writing process, students will participate in conferencing, goal setting, and maintain a writing portfolio as evidence of growth. K-5 bilingual teachers will use TELPAS writing PLDs (rubric) as a guide when conferencing with ELL students in order to improve 3) English writing skills. After school tutoring and/or writing club will use the writing benchmark to plan targeted instructional activities for revising & editing and composition development. All 4th graders will be invited to participate in these 3) writing intervention/clubs. Administration will conduct walkthroughs in K-5 classrooms to observe writing lessons. Feedback will be provided 3) electronically, written, and/or face to face. Administration will conduct walkthroughs in K-5 classrooms to observe writing lessons.

Beginning in November, Opportunities for Increased Learning Time will be provided through After School tutoring and/or Writer's Club (club sponsors will be paid a 4) stipend - TTIPS). Twice a month, K-5 teachers will engage students in writing an expository response to informational text in science and social studies. This process should include teacher modelling, scaffolding, and individual 4) responses in journals. 4) Page 20 of 40
