1 1. COMPREHENSIVE NEEDS ASSESSMENT (Look at page 44 of the Data Analysis Template for 1a and 1b) 1a. Results of Comprehensive Needs Assessment STRENGTHS STRENGTHS Our index score has been at or above 104 over the past 6 years. Over the past 3 years, our suspension rate has shown a steady decrease due to PBiS involvement. 4 th grade scores are consistently higher across all subject levels. Even though they are lower than most subgroups, our black subgroup has shown growth over the past 3 years. All grade levels showed an increase in Math scores for a.

Measures used to Determine School Needs: CHALLENGES DATA SOURCES 5 th grade scores are consistently lower across all subject levels. 1 SPS Grade Level Index Science and social studies are potential subject level weaknesses. 2 SPS Grade Level Index Students with disabilities and LEP are potential subgroup weaknesses. 3 Subgroup Trend Data Analysis Potential subgroup subject level weakness is ELA with economically disadvantaged students and students with 4 Subgroup Trend Data Analysis disabilities. ELA index showed a school wide decline in all grade levels. 5 CRT Index (ileap, LEAP) GOALS 1c. Goals based upon Challenges and/or Maintaining Strengths GOALS 1Increase our ELA scores by aligning assessments accordingly. 2Address our needs of our subgroups through interventions, differentiated instruction, and collaboration with all stakeholders. 3Continue to use Math resources and assessments given by the district. 4Teacher collaboration across curricula to help improve subject area weaknesses. 5Professional development to implement new writing rubrics in ELA and math curriculum. 2.

This information is reported to HR on a spreadsheet at the beginning of each school year and Title I schools report this information to the Title I office on the Attestation Form. The parish requires that all paras meet HQ status before they can be considered for employment. 4. PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT: Identify planned and ongoing professional development, to address the challenges found through the Comprehensive Needs Assessment. Whole Faculty Study Group-(SLT analysis by teachers, inputting data and analysis by teachers) Teacher Development (PARCC writing tasks training, Math Eureka Training), Professional Development Days (Writing Rubrics, Math GC, Technology, Safe School Training, and SLTs) Monthly grade-level meetings are scheduled and biweekly subject specific meetings are scheduled.

A written transition plan exists to facilitate major transitions, grade to grade, school to school, also to include individualized positive behavior support strategies all based on individual needs. Incoming Students Activity 1-New Student Orientation- Students and parents learn about expectations and tour the school. Activity 2: 3 rd grade students come to our campus to get acclimated to their new school setting. Activity 3: Administrators and SPED teachers will observe students in their previous environment. Outgoing students: Activity 1: SPED teachers create a transitional binder for students who will be leaving our 6 th grade to attend 7 th grade at another campus Activity 2:The teachers also take 6 th grade students to the new school at the end of the year to get acclimated to their new school.

Activity 1: During professional development, teachers are given raw data from the previous school year and data for their incoming students to identify potential strengths and weaknesses. Activity 2: Teachers review student responses on pre-designed grade appropriate assessments provided by the district. (SLTs) I I to

6 Activity 3: Teachers review student responses on pre-designed grade appropriate constructed lessons to maximize instruction through differentiated lessons in small groups. Rubrics and other assessment methods will be used to assess student comprehension and response by making connections with real-life situations across a variety of texts. Little Oak Middle I 9. ACTIVITIES PLANNED FOR STUDENTS EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES: What activities are in place to ensure that students who experience difficulty are provided effective, timely, additional assistance? For example: tutoring, MHP counseling services, etc. Mental Health Providers-(please adjust to fit your school s MHP plan) MHP: Due to the transient and often unstable environments that many of Little Oak Middle s students experience, a Mental Health Provider will work with students for 20 hours per week. This counseling will work to improve reading and math achievement by helping students to develop coping strategies for handling the conflicts and stresses that they face in life which in turn will allow them to focus on the academic materials being presented in the classroom. Students will be selected through a referral process and will work with the MHP for varying amounts of time depending on need. The administration team will monitor implementation of the MHP program. Due to the confidential nature of student involvement in the MHP program, Kim Hinson, counselor, will also monitor student academic progress in conjunction with the classroom teacher through monitoring numbers of behavioral referrals leading to out of class time and/or percentage of completed assignments as is appropriate for each individual student s situation. Review of performance on classroom assessments, benchmark assessments and standardized tests such as LEAP and ileap will also occur. TAT/SAT:When students are experiencing difficulty in your classroom, teachers refer these students to our Teacher Assistance Team for strategies to help students succeed. When more intense assistance is needed, the TAT team refers the student to our SAT (Student Assistance Team). I X I to Salary of MHP
