Staff Quality/ Professional Development Another strength is the initial training and follow up on Student Culture Systems resulting in high levels of Proficient implementation. 100% of teachers are state certified. Support Staff and structures of leadership. Tiered and differentiated support was provided to teachers through Real Time Teacher Coaching. All teachers are state certified to serve their student population.increased teacher retention rate. Over the past 3 years, since the school s opening in the Fall of 2013, half of the teaching staff has been new to the campus each year. Only 58% of the current teachers have an Effectiveness Level according to Teacher Excellence Initiative (TEI); the remaining 42% are new to the district or the profession. Out of the 58% of teachers with a TEI effectiveness level, 73% of them are rated Progressing II or below. Only 27% of teachers at O.M. Roberts for the 2015-2016 school year are rated Proficient I or higher according to TEI. This has led to staff that is either new to the building, new to teaching, or new to the content in need of intense instructional support to effectively implement the turnaround initiative. Teacher Development Content Knowledge (Alignment) - Content PLCs, Balanced Literacy, Close Reading, Math Situation Based Problems in Learning. Partially Proficient Instruction (Pedagogy) - Center for Transformative Teaching: No Non-sense Nurturing Practices PD/Coaching Training on Focused Instruction, Think Pair Share, Do Now/DOL, Small Group. Data Driven Instruction: Reteach *FOCUS, Student Ownership Teacher Professional Development Plans (PDPs) that are Differentiated. New/Novice Teacher Book Club: Teach Like a Champion Curriculum, Instruction, Assessment STAAR aligned assessments administered every three weeks that match level of rigor, use the academic vocabulary and language, and maintain the same ratio of readiness to supporting standards as STAAR. Purposeful Planning Sessions provided teachers additional time to plan aligned lessons. Development of assessments include an opportunity for admin to review assessment and for teachers to provide feedback. Development of instructional calendars. Teacher retention needs to improve in order to sustain improvement of student academic achievement. Failure to provide timely, effective, and routinized procedures for interventions for those students who do no master tier 1 instruction. Many of the students with significant learning gaps also have severe social/emotional needs that novice teachers lack capacity to address, and also affect school climate. The current campus structure does not specify the time, evidence-based best practices and/or resources, or support personnel to effectively implement data-driven and teacher leaders will follow a detailed process for administering universal screeners, identifying interventions and intervention groups, and progress monitoring. This process will be led by the school s interventionist and it will take place during the RtI block allocated according to the master schedule. Time will be provided for teachers to meet with their coaches and grade levels to address the ensuing process. Bilingual/ESL, special education, and intervention teachers will be included in these meetings. Page 6
Implementation of content PLCs positively impacted instruction, increasing student achievement and built teacher capacity. Response to Intervention practices. The focus of the instructional support has been geared towards Tier 1 instruction and classroom management, leaving little to no time or resources to develop teachers capacity around differentiated instruction and Response to Intervention. Partnership with Momentous Institute to develop social/emotional health techniques. Family and Community Involvement District Parent Survey indicates that 89% of participants had favorable responses, highest in the feeder pattern. Strong community partnership with Jubilee Park. Funding of community liaison. An identified need would be to respond to parents concerns in a timely manner, currently at 85% satisfaction which is an increase from 78.3% last year, but it could be over 90%. Another need would be to leverage our part time community liaison in the upcoming year. Improve Timely Response to Concerns, currently at 85% and also improve parent perception of the Direction of District currently at 70%. This will be achieved with the implementation of a communication system regarding parent concerns. Mentors in order to positively impact our student population. School Context and Organization Master schedule reflects grade level planning by content allowing for vertical alignment. In-school tutoring program Beacon Hill and extended learning time allocated through after school tutoring. All teachers provide assessment feedback. Also, the structure of leadership groups (Leadership Team, Grade Level Chairs, and Content Leads) allows for leadership density. Account for time within master schedule for RtI practices. Increase communication of school expectations with all parties along with effective accountability measures. SST/RTI framework SST/RTI system implemented with fidelity to provide academic and behavior interventions. Technology Internet Access Connectivity Speed within the district is reliable. Also, we have access to a wide variety of technological devices for staff and students. For staff, there are over 20 sets of All-in-Learning clickers. Every classroom has 2 desktop There is a need for continued and timely technical support. Also, the implementations of Technology Applications (TA) TEKS and student mastery of such expectations. Finally, there is a need to provide Quality Professional Development sessions about how to use technology for differentiated instruction. This can be implemented through a cohort approach where a small groups of teachers is trained Page 7

decision-making committees that include representative professional staff, including, if practicable, at least one representative with the primary responsibility for educating students with disabilities, parents of students enrolled in the district, business representatives, and community members.
