4 Executive Summary SY Page 1

5 Introduction Every school has its own story to tell. The context in which teaching and learning takes place influences the processes and procedures by which the school makes decisions around curriculum, instruction, and assessment. The context also impacts the way a school stays faithful to its vision. Many factors contribute to the overall narrative such as an identification of stakeholders, a description of stakeholder engagement, the trends and issues affecting the school, and the kinds of programs and services that a school implements to support student learning. The purpose of the Executive Summary (ES) is to provide a school with an opportunity to describe in narrative form the strengths and challenges it encounters. By doing so, the public and members of the school community will have a more complete picture of how the school perceives itself and the process of self-reflection for continuous improvement. This summary is structured for the school to reflect on how it provides teaching and learning on a day to day basis. SY Page 2

8 Notable Achievements and Areas of Improvement Describe the school's notable achievements and areas of improvement in the last three years. Additionally, describe areas for improvement that the school is striving to achieve in the next three years. There is a dire need of reestablishing a positive culture and climate in based on previous discipline and attendance data. The leadership team that was established prior to the start of the school year, collaborated with feeder schools (McNair Middle School and Rolling Hills Elementary School) to develop trends in the student's prior year academic, behavioral, and attendance data. It was found that each component was highly dependent on the other. All three schools held a beginning of the year conference that was led by the Education Company (Consultants). The Education Company provided teachers with strategies and resources that would prove to be beneficial in the improvement of culture and climate of Mae C. Jemison High school and feeder schools. The administrative team and leadership teams met and finalized master schedules to assure that all students were on the correct path for graduation, thus, improving the success of increased graduation rate. We are also striving to continue improving student attendance, reduce suspensions and improve faculty attendance. We are working to increase student participation in our honors and AP courses and how to continue building our Career Tech programs and exposing parents and students to dual enrollment. SY Page 5

9 Additional Information Provide any additional information you would like to share with the public and community that were not prompted in the previous sections. Huntsville City Schools and the Mae administrative team implemented several changes for the school year. HCS appointed a new administrative team to Mae. The new administrative team worked this summer to prepare Mae for it's new school year building rapport with the community and parents by hosting a festival in the community to introduce administration and the new direction of the school.

12 Improvement Planning Process Improvement Planning Process Describe the process used to engage a variety of stakeholders in the development of the institution's improvement plan. Include information on how stakeholders were selected and informed of their roles, and how meetings were scheduled to accommodate them. All teachers meet in content teams a minimum of once per month to review beginning of the year/ current assessment data and to begin creating instructional plans to address academic needs. This data is used during school wide data meetings to communicate school-wide academic needs and areas of focus as well as instructional strategies to address identified needs. 's Leadership Team met with Feeder Schools Leadership Teams (McNair Middle & Rolling Hills Elementary Schools) in August to discuss trends that have been identified in each school. Thus, assisting in the development Jemison's School Wide Goals. During parent meetings, parents will be allowed to ask questions in order to gain an overall deeper understanding of the school's strengths and areas of focus. In September/October, the school leadership team and parents will meet for the CIP Review. They will review the Continuous Improvement Plan to identify the degree to which implemented strategies have been met. During the CIP review meeting, the school leadership team and school staff, along with interested parents will convene to disaggregate data and collaborate on next steps for the school. The team will also suggest strategies, professional development, and budget requirements for the CIP plan. The first CIP draft will be sent to the district school board for approval and signatures when completed on September 22, The Leadership and Literacy teams were formed before school began. The team was chosen based on level of excitement and interest in Jemison and the school improvement process. Other factors were having a representative from each content area, demographics of race and gender, and level of experience. The team consists of representatives from administration, teachers, parents, teachers, students, and community members. Describe the representations from stakeholder groups that participated in the development of the improvement plan and their responsibilities in this process. The teacher representatives were carefully selected based on their skills, talents, abilities, level of experience, and content areas. Our community member is also our Parent Coordinator and the. Participants included representatives from each core academic area, special education, and electives. We placed each team member in a committee which elected a leader to facilitate the CIP assignments. Explain how the final improvement plan was communicated to all stakeholders, and the method and frequency in which stakeholders receive information on its progress. The final improvement plan will be communicated to all stakeholders via . Stakeholders will receive information on its progress throughout the year. They also receive information at the Annual Title I Meeting, faculty meetings, and monthly parent meetings. SY Page 9
