School Priorities as of May 2013 Description Classroom practice will reflect CCSS/CRS, rigor, and text complexity to increase student learning. Train the TCT teams to understand diagnostic, formative, and summative assessment results and to understand how to improve instruction and enhance student learning. Promote social and emotional competencies within a positive school climate by developing a comprehensive system of learning supports. Rationale The student response rate in the My Voice survey for "Ambitious Instruction" was at 32%. Composite ACT is 19.6, which is 1 point below state average. Only 36% of students meet or exceed state standards in reading, 30% in math, and 30% in science. AP/IB enrollment is 10.8%, down from 11.5% in 2010. On the SEF, staff self-scored the school 2 in Core Instruction, particularly Assessment and Monitoring/Adjusting. Staff feedback indicates inadequate time and training has been dedicated for the interpretation of the tremendous quantity of data being collected and disseminated. Instruction will be greatly enhanced with more effective and efficient data interpretation. The supports will develop self-awareness, self-management skills, interpersonal skills, and promote responsible behaviors to achieve school and life success. The student response rate for "Supportive Environment" was at 37%. FOT rate is 77.3%, the SOT rate is 56.8%, and the 5 yr. graduation rate is 67.4%.
