Requirements for School Improvement Plan WAC 180-16-220 Each school in the district shall be approved annually by the school board of directors under an approval process determined by the district board of directors. At a minimum the annual approval shall require each school to have a school improvement plan that is data driven, promotes a positive impact on student learning, and includes a continuous improvement process that shall mean the ongoing process used by a school to monitor, adjust, and update its school improvement plan. The checklist below contains the required elements for School Improvement Plans under WAC 180-16-220. School Improvement Plans are subject to review by the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI). 1. Evidence and date of annual school board approval. 2. Evidence staff certification requirements were met. (Highly Qualified) 3. Evidence the plan is based on self-review and participation of required participants (staff, students, families, parents, and community members). 4. Brief summary of use of data to establish improvement. 5. How continuous improvement in student achievement of state learning goals and essential academic learning requirements (EALRs) is promoted. 6. Recognition of non-academic student learning, what and how. (School Climate, bullying, counselors, community resources, partnerships, student leadership; interpersonal relationship skills) 7. Plan addresses characteristics of successful schools. 8. Plan addresses educational equity (gender, race, ethnicity, culture, language, and physical/mental ability). 9. Plan addresses use of technology to facilitate instruction. 10. Plan addresses parent, family, and community involvement. Failure to make AYP for two consecutive years will result in identification for school improvement beginning with Step 1.

Executive Summary Auburn School District Mission In a safe environment, all students will achieve high standards of learning in order to become ethically responsible decision makers and lifelong learners. Auburn School District Vision The vision of Auburn School District is to develop in students the skills and attitudes that will maximize their potential for lifelong learning and ethically responsible decision making. Sample School Mission Lea Hill exists to ensure individual academic success. Sample School Vision Lea Hill is a learning team of staff, students, parents, and community that is driven by individual student achievement. Background Information WAC 180-16-220 Requirements for School Improvement Plan Each school shall be approved annually by the school board of directors under an approval process determined by the district board of directors and At a minimum the annual approval shall require each school to have a school improvement plan that is data driven, promotes a positive impact on student learning, and includes a continuous improvement process that shall gmean the ongoing process used by a school to monitor, adjust, and update its school improvement plan. School Improvement plans must include a brief summary of use of data to establish improvement; acknowledging the use of data which may include DIBELS, MAP, WLPTII, Credit Attainment, Enrollment in Honors/AP Courses, CEE Perceptual Data, SAT/ACT, Discipline, and MSP or HSPE. Write narrative statements for your SIP team s background (when did you begin this process, how often did you meet, what you will find in this document). We began the fully revised SIP process in the spring of 2010 with the selection of team members. We were able to have one member of each first fifth grade team be part of fully revised SIP. A veteran specialist was asked to serve as the specialist representative. A parent was asked to join the team as well. We met about twice a month throughout most of the 2010-2011 school year, not including our once a month, all-day SIP trainings at the district office. We also used staff meeting time and about five of our twenty-one hours to keep the staff informed, conduct data carousels, etc. In this document you will learn about the process we went through and see the final product of our team s hard work and efforts; our specific student achievement goals for the next three years, and most importantly - our specific plans to improve our instruction by building shared knowledge. 6 P a g e

Highly Qualified Staff One hundred percent of Lea Hill teachers are highly qualified, as per the NCLB definition and the Auburn School District Department of Human Resources. Demographic data In this section write strength and challenges narrative statements for your school s demographics. Lea Hill Elementary is a small, diverse school, with a rich history of community support dating back to 1965. Our enrollment as of May 2011 was about 345 K-5 students. This does not include our Headstart program or our three ECE classrooms. Roughly half of our student body qualifies for free and reduced lunch. Our mobility rate is 26% and has been steadily rising each of the last few years. About 15% of our students qualify for our ELL program. We have students from several different countries with a wide range of languages and cultural beliefs, something we view as a strength for our school. About 12% of our K-5 students qualify for some type of IEP; this number does not include our ECE students. Our challenges are similar to Hazelwood and AJ, with a limited budget and small staff - continue to meet AYP and beyond. Our greatest challenge remains our mobility rate. We re confident we can address the needs of our students who join us in kindergarten and remain with us through fifth grade. We re learning how to more effectively meet the needs of students who join us along the way, often with large gaps in their learning and/or language challenges. It comes down to our ability to achieve catch-up growth as rapidly as possible with targeted interventions. Through our SIP, we will strive to put systems in place to make this happen for our students.

Celebrations: Overall, the number of LH students on this list is low. Celebration: The majority of intermediate students on this list still managed to achieve DIBELS benchmark status. Celebration: Counselor s efforts this year to meet with individual students and families regarding attendance concerns (absences and tardies). Challenges: ECE and K have the highest number of students on the 10% list. Challenge: Primary students on this list are not meeting benchmark DIBELS standards as frequently. Challenge: Future attendance data carousels need to include more detailed data. Challenge: Intermediate students appear to need more individual incentives to motivate them to improve their attendance. For our discipline carousel, our staff reviewed data showing students who have had discipline issues at Lea Hill. Celebrations: Lea Hill has had only five (5) suspensions this year. Celebrations: Think Times seem to work for first time offenders especially in the primary grades. Challenge: Some individual students are repeatedly referred to noon room. This does not seem to be an effective deterrent for these students. We need to find alternative, more effective consequences for these individual students. Challenge: For future discipline data carousel, individual classrooms need to track Think Times. 8 P a g e

Assessment Decisions In this section write a statement of the use of assessment in your building s decision making process and protocol. Our staff uses numerous assessments for our Lea Hill students. Some examples are MSP, DIBELS, MAPS, AR, Read Well, Early Mind Matters, Larson s Math, grade level subject assessments and classroom assessments. We use our PLC and staff development time to review the data from these assessments. Data Analysis- DIBELS In this section write strength and challenges narrative statements for your school s DIBELS data. Using DIBELs as part of our reading data carousel, the information revealed our strength as the percentage of on-target Lea Hill students to meet end of year benchmark increased their DIBELs benchmark scores from fall 2009 to spring 2010 for all K-5 students. A challenge exposed that he percentage of ELL students meeting DIBEL (ORF) benchmark remained the same from fall 2009 to spring 2010 for 4 th and 5 th. Data Analysis- MAPS In this section write strength and challenges narrative statements for your school s MAPs Data. When crafting our SMART goals, we used our MAPS data as part of our reading and math data carousels, but did not rely on it as our main source of information. Intermediate grades give students MAP tests to determine student s instructional level and to measure academic growth from trimester to trimester in the areas of mathematics and reading. MAPs tests are a short test which allows us to receiving detailed data, accurate information about our student s progress. Our next step is to use the dynamic reporting suite that simplifies data analysis and gives classroom teachers tools to apply test scores directly to instruction. In addition, our intermediate team, principal, and reading specialists will set aside time to vertically collaborate and communicate instructional priorities for our students. Data Analysis- WLPTII In this section write strength and challenges narrative statements for your school s WLPTII data. Based on the 2009/2010 WLPT II test results, I believe that the biggest challenge in the ELL Program at Lea Hill is in the area of reading and listing comprehension. These subtests showed the biggest disparity between the Mean Scale Score and Maximum-Scale Score possible at all grade levels, with the exception of kindergarten. The school s ELL student s greatest strength during the same period was in the Speaking subtest. The disparity between the mean score scale and maximum-scale score possible was the least. The only exception was in the first grade. When one takes into account only the Mean Scale Score, the picture is not as consistent. Then only the 9 P a g e

kindergarten, fourth and fifth grade show their greater strength to be speaking. Using this criterion, the strength of the first and second grades is in writing and the third grade is in listening. The challenge is not as clear. In kindergarten and fourth grade the challenge would be reading; in third grade, writing; second grade, listening; first and fifth, speaking. Data Analysis- Credit Attainment, Honors/AP Enrollment In this section write strength and challenges narrative statements for your school s Honors/AP data. Not Applicable Data Analysis- CEE Perceptual Survey In this section write strength and challenges narrative statements for your school s CEE Perceptual Survey data. Celebrations: Perceptions of communication between the district, school and home have increased for staff and families. Parents: December 2010, 91% of Lea Hill families feel informed about what is going on at school, compared to 85% in December 2008. Staff: December 2010, 69% of Lea Hill staff feel there is effective, 2-way communication between the district and our school, compared to 34% in December 2008 Challenges: Staff and Parent CEC Survey data reflects need for increased awareness of cultures of the community we teach. Parent: In December 2010, 60% of parents perceptions feel My child learns about the cultures of our community at his or her school, compared to 80% in December 2008. Staff: In December 2010, 21% of staff perceptions feel The curriculum we teach reflects the cultures of the community we serve. compared to 41% in December 2008. Achievement In this section write strength and challenges narrative statements for your school s AYP achievement- which cells met AYP and which were trigger cells. We continue to meet AYP at Lea Hill. However we monitor cells closely as they approach the trigger number. Our small enrollment has kept our cell sizes low, however our cell sizes continue to slowly increase in the following groups Black, Special Education, Limited English, and Low Income. To continue to meet proficiency, we also will have to make improvements in our reading MSP scores to achieve 88.1% this spring in the All group. We believe implementing our DIBELS Data Wall allows us to effectively monitor EVERY student at Lea Hill in the area of reading. 10 P a g e

Based on our MSP scores, 5 th grade Lea Hill students scored slightly above the district and state averages in the area of science. There was a decline in the 2005 school year in which Lea Hill scored below both the district and state averages. From 2006-2008 students scored were consistent with the district and state averages. There was a decline in 5 th grade student s science scores in 2009 and 2010.

Based on our WASL and MSP scores in writing beginning in the 1996-1997 school year, the 4 th grade students at Lea Hill scored above the state average; this upward trend continued into the year 1998. Our scores declined in the 1999-2000 school year, but did stay above the district and state averages until 2003. Since 2004, Lea Hill Students writing scored have declined. Beginning in 2006, our writing scores have been consistent with the state and district averages.

Prioritized Challenges In this section, prioritize the challenges identified in the Executive Summary that will drive the direction for your study teams. Your SMART GOALS and Action Steps must address the Prioritized Challenge Narratives from this section. 1. Reading 2. Math 3. CEE Survey Data (Multicultural Awareness) Our prioritized challenges are listed above. They were selected based on our data carousels, recommendations from the fully revised SIP trainers, and the requirement to demonstrate adequate yearly progress in re ading and math. From discussions with other principals and teams, it was our understanding that most ASD elementary schools were choosing similar areas to focus on. Certainly, improving writing and science instruction will continue to be addressed over t he next three years. We will use staff meetings, PLC Mondays, and parts of our building twenty -one hours to ensure we are not neglecting these important subjects. There is also the possibility that we meet or exceed one or more of our SMART goals early -on within this three year SIP cycle. This achievement would allow the Lea Hill staff to adjust our focus and craft a SMART goal in the area of writing and/or science. 13 P a g e

Study Teams (Each study team should consider parent/community involvement, cultural competency and integration of technology as potential strategies in each goal area e.g. How can parent involvement, cultural competence and technology assist the school in meeting its reading goal?) Literacy Goal Group: Fully Revised SIP Team Reading Goal Group Research Materials: Write a summary of the best practice and research gathered by your study team that addresses your prioritized challenges. The work of your study team should be reflected in the action steps in your SIP Plan. Based on district and SIP trainings with Debbie Helm and Rick Wormeli we chose to focus on Vocabulary development as the area of focus for our reading goal. We will use the research done by Robert Marzano to help lead us toward a stronger vocabulary program. Research shows that building background vocabulary knowledge and directly teaching academic vocabulary can increase percentile rankings on standardized tests by 33% overall. The first step is to choose the words by grade level that will be taught and then the staff will be trained in Marzano s method of directly teaching vocabulary so that this will be a building wide program that will scaffold from Kindergarten to 5 th grade. Writing Goal Group Research Materials: N/A Write a summary of the best practice and research gathered by your study team that addresses your prioritized challenges. The work of your study team should be reflected in the action steps in your SIP Plan. Oral Communication Goal Group Research Materials: N/A Write a summary of the best practice and research gathered by your study team that addresses your prioritized challenges. The work of your study team should be reflected in the action steps in your SIP Plan. Math Goal Group: Fully Revised SIP Team Math Goal Group Research Materials: Write a summary of the best practice and research gathered by your study team that addresses your prioritized challenges. The work of your study team should be reflected in the action steps in your SIP Plan. Based upon our math data carousel, SIP training, and resulting prioritized challenges, we identified problem-solving as a SMART goal focus. Our staff will examine and implement best-practice instructional strategies for problem solving. Also as part of our math SMART goals, we will create common assessments to reinforce and assess problem solving skills and collaboratively analyze results. According to the Best Practice New Standards for Teaching and Learning in America s Schools by Steven Zemelman, et al., the teaching of mathematical power (the true understanding of mathematical concepts and procedures) requires providing experiences that stimulate students curiosity and build confidence in investigating, problem solving, and communication. Also stated in the book, all mathematical teaching and learning should encompass problem solving. The qualities mentioned in this book were embodied in the major reports by the NCTM, National Council of Teachers of Mathematics. Our staff will use Seven Strategies of Assessment for Learning by Jan Chappuis. This book organizes research-based recommendations about assessment practices which the staff will incorporate into problem solving math instruction to improve student achievement. 14 P a g e

Improvement Goals Using components from your Executive Summary, write a rationale including the research, resources, and achievement gap analysis that determined your SMART Goals. Our rationale for determining the following SMART goals was based upon the work of our goal groups described in detail on page 15. For our CEE survey SMART goal, the data on page 11 supports our rationale. We will use the following website; Multicultural Education and the Internet, 2 nd Edition, by Paul C. Gorski, as our (initial) primary source of research to guide our SMART Goal 3 sub-committee over the next three years. We learned about this source from one of our trainers. SMART Goal 1: The overall average of students in third through fifth grades meeting standard on the reading MSP will increase by 10% each year between 2011 and 2014. 2010 Lea Hill MSP Results for Reading Third = 81.5%, Fourth = 69.8%, Fifth = 75.8% (Overall Average = 75.7%) SMART Goal 2: The overall average of students in third through fifth grades meeting standard on the reading MSP will increase by 10% each year between 2011 and 2014. 2010 Lea Hill MSP Results for MATH Third = 67.9%, Fourth =52.8%, Fifth = 56.1% (Overall Average = 58.93%) SMART Goal 3: Staff and Parent CEC Survey data reflects need for increased awareness of cultures of the community we teach. Parent: In December 2010, 60% of parents perceptions feel My child learns about the cultures of our community at his or her school, compared to 80% in December 2008. Staff: In December 2010, 21%, of staff perceptions feel The curriculum we teach reflects the cultures of the community we serve. compared to 41% in December 2008. 15 P a g e
