Ten Title I Schoolwide Program Components
1.
Comprehensive needs assessment – All data is reviewed for all students and student groups. The results and conclusions of this
review are reflected in the CNA Executive Summary for the next school year. The components of the campus needs assessment
include the: establishment and/or revision of the campus vision with a focus on reform, creation of the school profile,
identification of data sources and analysis of the data.
2.
School-wide reform strategies – The continued use of student information systems to identify and monitor student growth, the
continued use of staff development which accompanies it, the use of best practice lesson plans and meetings by content and
grade level to monitor and develop instructional plans are part of school-wide reform strategies.
3.
Instruction by highly qualified teachers –100% of our teachers are certified for the position they hold. They have varying levels
of experience, and support is given to less experienced teachers by their colleagues. Parents are notified if a teacher is not
certified and the teacher must either be working toward certification or efforts continue to hire someone who is certified.
4.
High-quality and on-going professional development – Teacher receive training during the summer and during the school year
and provide on-site training and monitoring to assist in professional development. The Campus Decision-Making Committee
identifies areas in which staff development is needed. Staff members participate in staff development. Staff development may
also be done on site by in-house instructional leaders and also by administrative district instructional support staff.
5.
Strategies to attract high-quality highly qualified teachers – Recruitment and retention of teachers who are certified for
positions for which they are appropriately certified is ongoing. We closely work with our district’s Human Resources
Department and network with other principals to help in this effort. The result has been 100% of our classroom teachers are
appropriately certified for the position they hold.
6.
Strategies to increase parental involvement – Family Math, Science and Literacy Nights are held to increase parents’
engagement in the school’s programs. Open Houses, frequent telephone contact and weekly folder updates/newsletters are
methods of recognizing parents as partners.
7.
Transition from early childhood programs – Early Childhood Centers collaborate with receiving elementary schools to
coordinate parent and student visits to kindergarten programs. Elementary schools conduct community awareness campaigns,
kindergarten round up and registration days to distribute information about programs and registration. Newsletters are
distributed from receiving elementary schools. Not applicable to secondary schools.
8.
Measures to include teachers in the decisions regarding the uses of academic assessments – Ongoing staff development is
available on site to analyze assessment data, whether national, state or teacher produced, to use in making instructional
decisions. Grade level or departmental meetings and the SDMC provide forums to discuss assessment issues.
9.
Effective, timely additional assistance – The use of formative and summative assessments and AWARE allow for individual
student progress to be monitored at the teacher level, building and administrative district levels so that interventions and
assistance will be timely.
10. Coordination and integration of Federal, State, and local services and programs – At the building level, federal, state and local
services and programs are coordinated to best address student needs; this coordination of services and programs is reflected in
the activities listed in the campus goals and activities.

Executive Summary
Campus Needs Assessment 2013-2014
After reviewing all the available data sources (AYP, AEIS, PEIMS, parent involvement documentation)
available for Norwood Elementary for the 2013-2014 school year, it has been determined the following
areas to be addressed, along with the proposed solutions:
1. Math across all grade levels has to be a priority. The STAAR test results for the Final Level II
Performance were low across all measured areas. In an effort to make math a priority and emphasize
the instruction, all teachers will be equipped with the Mountain Math program for use in the
classroom. Accelerated Math will continue to be mandatory in the classrooms to serve as further
attention to basic math concepts in each grade level. Early intervention through the Intervention
Leadership Team will be available to all students who are not performing at grade level. Each
student will receive small group support by the classroom teacher no less than once a week, in
addition to access to Think Through Math, and those in need of Tier 2 and 3 supports will be served
through the ILT process. (Title 1 Component(s) 1, 2, 4, 8, 9,10)
2. Reading across all grade levels has to be a priority. The STAAR test results for the Final Level II
Performance were low across all measured areas. In an effort to make reading a priority and
emphasize the instruction, all teachers will be equipped with the Mountain Language program for
use in the classroom. Accelerated Reading will continue to be mandatory in the classrooms as a way
to emphasize further attention to fluency and comprehension in each grade level. Early intervention
through the Intervention Leadership Team will be available to all students who are not performing
at grade level. Each student will receive small group support by the classroom teacher no less than
once a week,as well as access to Istation for a minimum of one hour per week. Additionally, those in
need of Tier 2 and 3 supports will be served through the ILT process.(Title 1 Component(s)
1,2,4,8,9,10)
3. Norwood must increase parental involvement in the 2013-2014 school year and will be offering 13
formal invitations for parent/student activities throughout the school year, in addition to an open
invitation to volunteer and visit classrooms. The focus for the upcoming school year will be
communicating to ALL parents every opportunity to be involved at Norwood Elementary. The
Parentlink messaging system will be utilized, along with our electronic sign in front of the building,
and paper notes sent home. The Norwood website will be updated to inform parent of school news.
