  2. SMART GoalStudent Achievement • 60% of 8th grade male students at Sabin Middle School will score proficient or advanced in writing measured by the 2013 TCAP. • By the end of 2012-2013 school year Sabin Middles School will see a 15% increase in community/parental support/volunteering in school activities including academics and extra curricular activities.

  3. Goals

  4. 2011 TCAP Writing Statistics

  5. Major Improvement Goal #1: _ Top Quality Tier 1 instruction for every student, every day, in every classroom through differentiated instruction and a personalized learning plan as evidenced by: Strategy: All PLC group strategies will focus on one of the following areas: literacy across the curriculum, student engagement, or content vocabulary. All reading teachers will use reciprocal teaching in order to increase student critical thinking about text on a weekly basis as evidenced by student work samples. All writing teachers will use student writing conferencing in order to increase the engagement of boys/FRL students in their classrooms on a weekly basis. Alignment with SMART GOAL: To close the gap on 8th grade male scores, writing teachers need to use differentiated strategies paired with rewards to complete this goal. Root Cause(s) Addressed: Reading root cause: instructional framework has not consistently provided for growth of student critical thinking skills related to processing text. Writing root cause: instructional framework has not consistently provided for the academic engagement of boys and FRL students. Math root cause: instructional framework has not consistently provided for student mastery of math vocabulary at a level which allows students to make sense of math instruction, including connections between the teacher’s spoken SABIN USIP DOCUMENTATION

  9. SABIN UIP DOCUMENTATION • Major Improvement Goal #3: __ A positive climate and culture exists as evidenced by Positive Behavior Support system, implemented with fidelity, parent and community involvement and a sense of community as evidenced by (strategy): • Strategy: Increase informal parent involvement opportunities. Evidence of effectiveness will be measured through parent surveys. • Root Cause(s) Addressed: Lack of parental involvement, as evidenced by Sabin’s 2011 Climate Survey. The reason for lack of parental involvement was not identified on the Climate Survey, so further surveying is needed (see action steps) in order to determine root cause. Root cause is a lack of understanding on our part as to the reasons for low parental involvement.

  10. From Sabin MS USIP- Data Analysis Worksheet-Performance indicators-performance growth gaps Writing: --In two areas, the gap was reversed: minority students have a higher growth percentile than non minority students, and ELL students have a higher growth percentile than non ELL students --The smallest gap was between girls and boys; girls have a 10 point higher growth percentile than boys --The largest gap was between IEP students and non IEP students, at 14 points Needs: Close the gap for FRL, IEP, and boys. The writing PLC is currently using a Two Questions strategy to determine root cause. There are examining a lack of engagement of male students in writing classes and activities as a possible root cause. They are also examining data for minority male students to determine engagement levels.
