Reflect on SY 2011-2012 School Performance Plan Guidance: Complete these questions by reflecting with your Instructional Leadership Team, Executive Director and Network Facilitator prior to Step 1. Record your answers below. 1. What progress did you make toward meeting your SPP SY 2011-12 goals? Yes we have made progress towards meeting our SPP SY 2011-2012 goals. We administered intake Math and Reading grade-level assessments to all students that was disseminated to teachers to use for planning and creating differentiated instruction for our diverse population. 2. Were your strategies fully implemented, partially implemented, not implemented at all? Why? Yes they were fully implemented. Teachers were constantly provided information and access to professional development opportunities both in- house and district wide to support and develop better instructional strategies to address the learning needs of our population. Teachers provided after-school coach classes as intervention for both Reading and Math deficiencies. Teachers were continually supported and provided feedback, through regular walkthroughs, informal and formal observations. 3. What evidence of actual impact did you see on instructional practice and/or student learning? By providing access to technology students were able to increase reading and math scores on teacher made assessments. USe of Study Island as a supplement for for all subjects has increased student reading comprehension, and math skills. 4. What practices are in place that we are unable to link to increased student achievement? Everything that we have put in place have directly/ or indirectly played a role in increasing student achievement. 5. If your school participated in the 2011-12 School Effectiveness Review (SER) process, how will that feedback influence your strategic planning for 2012-13?

Step 2: Analyze Data to Prioritize Needs Guidance: Complete these questions by meeting with your Instructional Leadership Team, School Family Council, Executive Director, and Network Facilitator to begin the development of your school s 2012-13 School Performance Plan. Record your answers below. 1. What do your data tell you about students overall performance? 2. How are subgroups of students performing, e.g. particular grade levels; content areas; accelerated learners; SWD, FARMS? Please discuss those groups with the largest achievement gaps. 3. How did my teachers perform (test results by grade level, teacher/class, subject area/and subgroup. e.g. SWD)? Guidance: Based on the answers to the questions above, generate a list of school strengths and needs, and record them below. Consider the contributing factors and identify the sources of data that demonstrate these trends, and record them below. Limit your Strengths and Needs to the three most important. Examples of Cause Data (Contributing Factors): Professional Practices that Create Effects or Results Use of teacher collaborative planning time Implementation of effective professional development strategies Research-based classroom instructional strategies Classroom visits Teacher feedback Professional Learning Communities Other: Strengths Contributing Factors Data Source ---------- ---------- ---------- School Performance Plan for Middle ALternative Program @ Lombard 12 of 40

Step 3: Establish SMART Goals and Step 4: Select Strategies Guidance: Identify your three most critical goals for student achievement based on needs that were identified through the inquiry process. Be sure your goals are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Timely (SMART). Then, for each goal, identify specific strategies that support: Highly Effective Instruction or Climate; Professional Development; and Engaged Family and Community. Strategies should be action-oriented, measurable, and research-based. Your school should focus on two Highly Effective Instruction strategies and one Climate strategy. There may be multiple components of a strategy noted within each category. More than one Professional Development strategy may be selected by the dropdown menu. Please refer to the SPP Implementation Guide for additional guidance on completing this section. School-Level Goal #1 Based on data, teachers will create a text rich environment in which student's reading, writing and critical thinking skills will increase 10% from baseline scores using informal and formal assessments.
