Part V – Needs Assessment
Section 1114(b)(2)(B) of Title I of ESEA requires eligible schools that want to operate a Schoolwide Program to conduct a
needs assessment to develop their Schoolwide Plan.
Section A – Overview
Briefly describe how the comprehensive needs assessment was conducted and how it addresses the needs of all students.
The needs assessment survey forms were developed using various samples from other schools as well as previous
surveys from Sky Ranch. The committee then reviewed them and copies were sent home. 177 Parent Surveys were
returned.
The survey asks parents about their perceptions of the effectiveness of the Title I program. They are asked about the
communication between school and home and what programs and materials are effective. The results of this
assessment guide the committee in developing the plans for the new year.
Briefly describe how the data was analyzed and the actual results of your needs assessment.
The surveys were tabulated and discussed at the Spring Site Based Committee. The surveys indicate that parents feel
that reading is the highest priority to be served by Title I, followed by math and then technology. 100% of the parents
surveyed believed that the Title I program has helped their child. Teachers, parents, and students also expressed a
need for technology implementation to continue. The needs assessment along with the tabulation is attached.

Goal:
Parent Involvement – Our goal for the 2015-2016 school year is for parents to become more involved in PTA, attend
Family Nights with their students, help keep ongoing communication with teachers and help ensure that homework is
being completed and returned to school.
Briefly describe the reasoning for the identified goal.
A growing body of research shows that successful parent involvement improves not only student behavior and
attendance but also positively affects student achievement. Sky Ranch has difficulty getting parents involved in their
students’ success. We would like to provide a receptive atmosphere that makes parents feel welcome.
Describe the measurable outcomes for the goal (i.e., In 2009-2010, the percentage of students scoring 70 or below on the quarterly math

Part VI – Schoolwide Reform Strategies
11
Instructional strategies and initiatives in the comprehensive plan must be based on scientifically based research,
strengthen the core academic program, increase the quality and quantity of learning time and address the learning
needs of all students in the school.
Section A - Scientifically Based Research (SBR)
List the SBR instructional strategies that will be implemented. Explain how they will be utilized in the classroom and how they will be evaluated
for effectiveness.
Accelerated Reader – A reading assessment program used to determine a students’ individual zone of proximal
development. The student’s goal is set at the beginning of each quarter. The student, teacher, and parents work
together to select interesting and motivational literature based on the reading level to enhance reading instruction and
practice. Students take a quiz on the computer upon completing each book to assess comprehension. Each classroom
teacher monitors their individual students’ progress. Once students have shown continued success at their current
reading level, their reading level is increased.
Success Maker Reading and Math – A software program that allows students to review and develop their skills in
reading and math. Students’ progress through the levels as each skill is mastered. A computer generated report can
be printed allowing teachers to track and make accommodations for their students and showing areas where reteaching are necessary.
Technology – Increasing the amount of the amount of technology in the classroom will allow our teachers to have a
wider variety of resources to use when teaching and reviewing reading and math skills and concepts. Using technology
also allows for teachers to engage students for longer periods of time and present information in a new and exciting
manner.
Tutoring – Allow for individual and/or small group intervention; focuses intense instruction on specific skills in relation
to math and reading. Allows for re-teaching and practice at a slower pace until mastery is reached.
Hands-On Learning – Engages and motivates students to become actively involved in the learning experience.
Promotes higher level thinking and encourages students to manipulate and experiment with learning in reading and
math.
Textbooks – Systematic approach to teaching math and reading. Lessons are correlated to Oklahoma PASS Skills and
provide for whole class/small group instruction by the teacher and independent student centered application and
practice of learned skills.
Section B – Extended Day/Extended Year
Explain the extended day/extended year program to be implemented. Include procedures for monitoring and evaluating the program.
Before and After School Tutoring - We will provide before and after school tutoring the month preceding state testing .
Students’ progress will be traced through the use of the Success Maker program. We would like to see a mixture of
computer based and teacher/small group tutoring this next year. Progress is monitored by the teacher through 9
weeks test scores and daily work. Teachers recommend summer school for students who still need help after the
regular school year has ended. Evaluation of OCCT test scores in the fall will provide documentation of student
success.
Section C – Core Academics
12
Explain how the school reform strategies will strengthen the core academics (reading and math programs) of the school.
Our identified goals are specific to the areas of reading and math. Technology and parental involvement support both
of these areas. Tutoring and Saturday School will increase support opportunities for the students in both reading and
math. Computer programs focused on remediating and reinforcing students’ reading and math skills will increase
students’ knowledge in those areas. Increasing opportunities for our parents to become involved in their students
learning through family nights will in turn improve students’ motivation and engagement in reading and math.
Increasing hands-on learning will engage and motivate students to become actively involved in the learning experience
and promotes higher level learning. Finally, providing teachers with professional development opportunities in regards
to reading and math, as well as using technology in the classroom, will help ensure that new methods of instruction
are being implemented to encourage optimal learning opportunities for students in reading and math instruction.
Section D – Curriculum Alignment
Explain how curriculum is aligned with PASS at the school.
The curriculum in all Moore Schools follows curriculum maps developed by all academic coordinators to align with the
OAS objectives. Teachers use the curriculum guides to help them plan instruction and prepare their students for end of
quarter testing and state standardized testing.
Section E – Technology
Explain the usage of technology at the school to improve student engagement and achievement. How is it being monitored and evaluated for
effectiveness?
Accelerated Reader, Study Island (3-6) Reading, Reading Eggs (1-2), Think Through Math (3-6) and STAR programs have
been implemented in our school. These programs allow teachers to successfully track student progress and plan
instruction for weak areas. Reports from these programs also allow us to communicate more effectively with parents.
SMART Boards and document cameras have been installed in all reading/math classrooms allowing the students the
opportunity to do more interactive learning. Students are actively engaged with the lessons. Evaluation is done
through analyzing reading and math grades and test scores.
Redcat audio systems have been put in place to ensure that every child in the classroom is able to very clearly hear the
teacher no matter where they are in the room.

Section B – Recruitment
Describe the recruitment plan to attract highly qualified teachers including specific details about partnerships with institutions of higher
education and neighboring school districts.
The district of Moore Public Schools maintains a district-wide strategy of recruiting highly qualified teachers by
maintaining an impeccable reputation as a highly desirable place to teach/work, and being a highly desirable district in
which to live. Teachers’ salaries are above the state minimum and among the highest in the metro area.
The administrator attends a yearly job fair that the district sponsors in an attempt to identify and interview highly
qualified applicants. When an interview is conducted outside of the job fair setting, a panel of teachers participates in
the interview and serves as an active part of the decision making.
Section C – Retention
17
Describe the teacher support system of the school including specific details about mentoring, collaborative teams, inclusion in decision making
and encouragement to continue higher education or pursue National Board Certification.
Entry year teachers are assigned a mentor teacher to assist them during the year. They meet on a regular basis so the
entry year teacher has support. Grade levels meet each week to make decisions regarding instruction and to deal with
any problems that may arise with students. Grade levels all have the same planning periods to enable them to plan
together.
Part X – Parental Involvement
Section A – Design, Implementation and Evaluation of the Schoolwide Program
Explain how parents were involved in the in the planning year and the needs assessment process and how parents will be involved in the
implementation of the Schoolwide Plan.
The Title I program at Sky Ranch Elementary strives to provide an opportunity for parents to become actively involved
with their child’s education in a variety of ways. Needs assessments are sent to all parents at the end of each year and
parents are invited to participate in planning meetings to discuss the results. Parent involvement programs are
planned based on the parents’ requests and the needs assessments. Parents are asked to review the programs in order
to improve the next event.
Section B – Communication
Describe how information will be communicated between school and parents and families including information about parent meetings,
specifically the required Annual Parent Informational Meeting.
Communication between school and home is critical. The Title I teacher at Sky Ranch notifies the faculty and families
of all upcoming meetings and activities through emails, school website, electronic phone system, Thursday folders, the
Sky Ranch marquee and monthly newsletters. Other ways parents receive information include Back-to-School night,
district, school and teacher websites, parent/teacher conferences, report cards and progress reports, as well as the
school wide parent information meeting in the fall.

Section B – Overview
Describe the activities that support the transition strategies. Explain how all stakeholders (counselors, school staff, parents, students) are
involved in the activities.
Parents of the new Kindergarten students are strongly encouraged to attend “Back-to-School Night” with their
students prior to the beginning of school. This event provides an opportunity to meet the teacher, unpack student
supplies and acclimate the child to the classroom environment. The kindergarten parent meetings are held shortly
after school starts to provide further information and address any concerns. Additional parent nights and programs are
scheduled to keep parents involved and informed of student progress. A weekly parent letter is provided to make
parents aware of what children are learning and experiencing. Kindergarten students are gradually given more
opportunities for growth and responsibility as the year progresses. One example of this is the Tuesday reading
homework folder that is implemented during the second semester in addition to the Thursday homework folder that
begins shortly after school begins. Our half-day kindergarten students are provided the experience of eating lunch in
the cafeteria towards the end of the school year to prepare them for that part of being in school all day in first grade.
Grade levels 1-6 provide parent communication and meetings so that teachers have the opportunity to make parents
and students aware of expectations and progress.
As students move from 6th grade to Junior High School, they go on a field trip to the Junior High they will be attending.
There they meet with counselors to learn enrollment procedures, choices for electives, and expectations of the school.
The students are also given a tour of the school. Here at Sky Ranch, the counselor sets up a mock junior high schedule
so the students can practice getting from classroom to classroom in only five minutes. They also practice opening
combination locks to help relieve some of that stress.
Section C – Documentation
Include the following documentation in the Schoolwide Plan:
 Copies of letters, flyers, and/or mailings notifying parents of transition activities
 Attendance records of parent meetings regarding transitions
 Evidence of vertical teaming among faculty (i.e.-agendas, minutes, curriculum maps)
Part XII – Data-Driven Decisions
The Schoolwide Plan should provide teachers with professional development that increases their understanding of the
appropriate uses of multiple assessment measures and how to use assessment results to improve instruction.

purposes in special programs such as the Gifted and
Talented Program (SEARCH) and/or Special Education.
Section B – Overview
Briefly describe the key assessments used by the school site, the procedure for sharing the data, and how teachers are using this data to make
decisions for improving student learning (i.e., OCCT data, benchmark data).
Reading and math assessments used at Sky Ranch include DIBELS, Gates-MacGinitie and OAS. The DIBELS benchmark
assessment is a reading assessment used to assess students in the following areas: Phonemic Awareness, Phonics,
Vocabulary, Comprehension, and Fluency. It is used with students from Kindergarten to 3rd grade. It is given three
times a year by the classroom teacher. Ongoing progress monitoring is used for those students who fall in the
intensive or strategic ranges. This ongoing information helps teachers modify instruction to teach specific skills to
develop these students reading skills. Reports are regularly sent home to parents.
The Gates-MacGinitie Reading Test is given in the fall and spring to students in the 4-6th grade. The test given in the fall
is used as a pretest to provide information to the classroom teacher in regard to each student’s comprehension and
vocabulary skills/level. The posttest is given in the spring. The two scores are compared which allows the teacher to
see gains made by the students in comprehension and vocabulary.
The OAS is given in mid-April to students in grades 3-6. Teachers analyze the results from the previous year to evaluate
the strengths and weaknesses of their teaching and their students’ learning. Teachers use this information to focus
instruction on the areas of weaknesses demonstrated on the test and modify their instructional approaches to increase
their students’ learning.
Section C – Evaluation
21
Explain how assessments and data-driven decisions are evaluated for effectiveness.
Student progress is continually monitored. Teachers observe students through their work and participation in class.
Teachers use a variety of informal assessments such as the Dolch word lists, 9-week tests, checklists, rubrics, report
card assessments, as well as the reports from the Success Maker, Study Island and Riverdeep programs.
Results from the end of year surveys will help determine the success of the assessments and will guide decisions made
regarding instruction and curriculum. Scores will be reviewed to determine success and guide future decision making
in relation to instruction and curriculum in reading and math.
Part XIII – Effective and Timely Additional Assistance
Schoolwide schools must identify students who need additional learning time to meet standards and provide them with
timely, additional assistance that is tailored to their needs.
Section A – Overview
Describe the additional assistance programs (intervention programs, extended day/year, math/reading blocks, tutoring) offered at the school.

Low achieving students receive tutoring during the school day from the Title I teacher or assistant

Low achieving students receive before/after school tutoring

Students with limited English receive ELL tutoring

Native American students can receive additional help from the Indian Tutor

Student with speech difficulty receive help from the Speech Pathologist

Summer School is offered to students to prepare them for the next grade level

Students who are identified as Special Education students, receive instruction from a qualified special
education teacher
Section B – Procedure
Explain the procedures in place to ensure students requiring additional assistance will be provided with effective, timely assistance.
Classroom teachers who observe a student having difficulty in any areas described above will refer the student for the
appropriate services. The Title I teacher monitors the DIBELS and Gates-MacGinitie scores. The teachers will refer
students who are not on grade level to the Title I teacher for additional help. Parents are contacted and the decision to
serve the child in the most beneficial way is made.
22
Section C – Evaluation
Explain how intervention programs/services are evaluated for effectiveness.
Effectiveness of the intervention program is made by monitoring the progress of the student. Multiple assessments are
made and efforts are coordinated between the classroom teacher and the other parties involved such as the Title I
teacher, the tutor, or the special teacher.
Part XIV – Coordination of Programs
Schoolwide schools are expected to integrate services and programs with the aim of upgrading the entire educational
program and helping all students reach proficient and advanced levels of achievement.
Section A – Overview
Briefly describe how local, state and federal programs will be coordinated to support high-quality learning opportunities for all students in your
school and how these programs are aligned to the Schoolwide goals.
Students receive services based on their test scores and their classroom performance. Classroom teachers, special
education teachers, the guidance counselor, speech and language pathologists, ELL teacher, Indian tutor, and the Title I
teacher administer and analyze assessments in order to identify the needs of our students. The student’s progress is
continually monitored and all parties communicate on a regular basis to track the effectiveness of instruction.
