1 Omak School District WAVA K-5 Learning Improvement Plan

2 Vision Omak School District is committed to success for all students and provides a wide range of high quality instructional programs and extended learning opportunities for all its students. Learning for all whatever it takes. Mission Omak School District prepares students to participate in a democratic society by striving to ensure that all students meet or exceed district, state and federal learning requirements. Values/Commitments We support a culture of learning where all students, staff, parents, and community members take responsibility for continuous improvement of student learning. We have high expectations for students learning. These expectations are supported by clear learning targets, effective instruction, and ongoing assessments that guide teaching and measure student progress. We provide a safe and caring learning environment that is responsive to the needs of all our students and nurtures their intellectual, aesthetic, social and physical skills. We provide a challenging, engaging and vertically aligned K-12 curriculum. This curriculum is based on state standards and maintains coherent grade level transitions We prioritize the use of district resources to improve student learning, support staff training, and provide ongoing communication to students, staff, families, and the community. Omak Improvement Plan Goals 1. Teachers appropriately use all quadrants of the Rigor/Relevance Framework in their classroom instruction a. Task is to implement one cognitively complex performance tasks during each quarter (2.3) b. Task is to systematically implement a research-based strategy for using academic vocabulary (2.7) 2. Establish vertical alignment within and between buildings a. Task is to identify quality data points that are consistently reported across all grade levels (6.2, 6.3) b. Task is to design instruction aligned with the Washington State Learning Standards (6.1) 3. Improve peer walkthrough opportunities and feedback a. Task is to become skilled in learning from peer observation rather than evaluating what is observed (8.1) b. Task is to engage in two classroom walkthroughs during the school year (8.2, 8.3)

3 Learning Improvement Plan School: Washington Virtual Academies K-5 Core Beliefs:

4 Vision: To create a high-performance public school program equipping teachers and parents with the tools of tomorrow, thereby providing our students with all the opportunities needed to succeed in life while creating a new model for a 21 st century public school. Mission: To provide any child access to exceptional curriculum and tools that enable him or her to maximize his or her success in life, regardless of geographic, financial, or demographic circumstance. The core philosophy of Washington Virtual Academies is that all young people can achieve academic excellence when they are provided rigorous instruction, high standards, informed guidance, and individual attention. WAVA offers a dynamic, flexible, and traditional curriculum that teaches children to be critical thinkers in a fast-changing global world.

5 I. Data Analysis ELA Data: ELA Analysis: Grades 3-5: This is the baseline year of our participation in the Smarter Balance Assessment. Both grades 3 and 5 are at the minimum proficiency level set by the state (which takes effect for this year s testing). All Grades: Student participated in the DIBELS (Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills) assessment. A correlation was seen when fluency scores were compared to SBA performance. This fall, we administered the MAP assessment for the first time. The WAVA performance data appear skewed relative to the Norms; additional training for our Learning Coaches is needed to ensure accurate data.

8 ELA Commentary: OSPI has changed WAC to adjust the effective date of these online provider performance targets that rely on the percentage of students meeting standard on the state assessment. The 2015 administration of the Smarter Balanced assessments will provide a new baseline score. OSPI will adjust these performance targets based on the 2015 results prior to September 1, 2016: Percentage of students taking online English language arts courses who meet standard on the state English language arts assessments must be greater than 50 percent. (A program is not subject to this performance target if it has fewer than 20 students who have both taken an online English language arts course and taken the state English language arts assessment.) [source: Digital Learning Dept. The larger than normal standard deviation on the MAP assessment suggests that classrooms have broader academic levels and differentiated instruction is needed.

9 Math Data: Math Analysis: Grades 3-5: This is the baseline year of our participation in the Smarter Balance Assessment All grades are below the minimum proficiency level set by the state (which takes effect for this year s testing). This fall, we administered the MAP assessment for the first time.

I enjoy the genuine connection I have with students and Learning Coaches. The curriculum is well designed and allows students to work at their own pace and learning style. My coworkers are dedicated and supportive of families. I like the freedom I have to teach lessons that are Common Core aligned but not dictated by a set curriculum. I am able to work with SE kids and meet their needs. I love the staff and how incredibly helpful everyone is with sharing ideas, curriculum and power points. I work with an incredible staff. They are bright, supportive, talented and creative. I love teaching at WAVA because of the amazing students and families I work with. They are a dynamic and diverse group and work hard to bring meaning into their daily education. I work with a very supportive, creative and hard-working Administrative team. They pull their sleeves up and work right alongside of us. Although constantly changing I do enjoy being a part of something I feel kids deserve to have the choice to do. I like working with students and families that don't necessarily fit our traditional model of schooling, and knowing I am by their side on this alternative journey, and a better path for academic success. working with the other teachers...they are extremely knowledgeable and passionate

13 7 of 16 respondents indicated they were Somewhat Satisfied about teaching and kids I enjoy working with families, creating lessons and fostering a classroom community. Flexible, good staff and admin Families who follow the structure of the school receive an outstanding, well-rounded education. I'm proud to be part of that. I also find the collaboration among teaching staff to be greater than I experienced in the brick and mortar setting. The staff works together to make improvements year after year. People care about students and each other and do whatever they can to support each other. I like the flexibility that this teaching model allows. I also like working with students individually and supporting LC's in their teaching. I love the leadership I have in the area of special education. I feel our leadership has fostered a great supportive, safe staff to work together with. School Climate Commentary: Some areas that families identified as being leas satisfied with are areas that the school does not have influence over, e.g. state testing. Outings are offered throughout the year, participation by families tends to be low unfortunately. Based on the feedback from teachers responding to the survey, teachers feel supported and connected with their colleagues. The survey data did not reveal areas of dissatisfaction and therefore is not represented.

14 Analysis of Demographic Data Grades 3-5 Ethnicity 3-5 Demographic Commentary: WAVA Elementary School serves a primarily White followed by Hispanic/Latino of any race, Asian and Black/African American student population. 11.3% of the student population is Special Education, with 3.8% of the population with 504 Accommodations and 2% Transitional Bilingual. Special Programs Teacher Demographics (source data: OSPI State Report Card SY ) Teacher Information Certificated Staff 51 Average Years of Experience 14.5 Teachers with at Least a Master Degree 74.5%

15 Special Program Commentary: The population of special education students increased from previous year 9.8%, the Transitional Bilingual population increased from 0.9% from last year and Section 504 is up 1%. Teacher Demographic Commentary: The total number of certificated staff increased from 45 to 51 and the percent of teachers holding a Master Degree or Higher rose from 72.4% to 74.5%. Average year of service of staff also rose from 13.1 to 14.5.

16 II. Implementation Plan Goal 1: School Climate (Families) School Climate Increase the participation of students or families in WAVA sponsored social engagement opportunities.
