Homework is being assigned and
completed (when appropriate) in
itslearning across the grade levels
Supervision is provided in the media
center during the ASP for students
who need to work in itsLearning
during homework time
One day in a seven day specials
rotation is spent in the computer lab
and students in grades 2-5 are
completing standards based work in
itsLearning during this time with the
support of the classroom teacher. In
grades K-1, the ITS and classroom
teacher will support Kindergarten
and grade 1.
Teachers have two opportunities
each week after school to receive
support in how to increase use of
itslearning with students
3.
Learner Profile/Diversity: As a result of
examining how we are addressing the
Learning Profile during our Leadership
Retreat this summer, we have initiated a
Diversity Roundtable chaired by a parent
and a counselor. We will be working to find
more ways to encourage parents from
diverse backgrounds to volunteer and
participate in school activities throughout
the year.

2015-16 School Improvement Plan
Continuous Improvement Goal:
SMART Goal:
The percentage of K-3 students who achieve on or above grade level as measured by district SLO
assessments (F&P) during the 2015-16 school year will increase from 83% at the end of the 2014-15 school
year to 86% at the end of the 2015-16 school year.
The percentage of 4th grade students scoring proficient and exceeding proficiency in ELA will increase from
the 2015-16 pre-assessment score of 36.4% to 77.6% by the end of the 3rd quarter grading period of the
2015-16 school year as measured by the FCS ELA Grade 4 Interim post-assessment administered in February
of 2016.
Sub goal: The percentage of 4th grade students scoring in the intervention range will decrease from 22.4% to
7%.
The percentage of 4th grade students scoring proficient and exceeding proficient in Math will increase from
the 2015-16 pre-assessment score of 9.4% to 45.3% by the end of the 3rd quarter grading period of the 201516 school year as measured by the FCS Math Grade 4 Interim post-assessment administered in February of
2016.
Sub goal: The percentage of 4th grade students scoring in the intervention range will decrease from 54.7% to
29.7%
The percentage of 5th grade students scoring proficient and exceeding proficient in ELA will increase from
the 2015-16 pre-assessment score of 59.7% to 93% by the end of the 3rd quarter grading period of the 201516 school year as measured by the FCS ELA Grade 5 Interim post-assessment administered in February of
2016.
Sub goal: The percentage of 5th grade students scoring in the intervention range will decrease from 7% to
2%.
The percentage of 5th grade students scoring proficient and exceeding proficient in Math will increase from
the 2015-16 pre-assessment score of 16.4% to 57.3% by the end of the 3rd quarter grading period of the
2015-16 school year as measured by the FCS Math Grade 5 Interim post-assessment administered in
February of 2016.
Sub goal: The percentage of 5th grade students scoring in the intervention range will decrease from 42.7% to
17.2%
Brookwood ES 4
The percentage of students with typical or high growth in Science will increase from 75.7 to 77.7 by the end
of the 2015-16 school year as measured by CCRPI Progress Score in May of 2016. (This goal may be adjusted
when CCRPI scores are updated this fall.)

Interventions
(Includes Prof. Learning Plan)
Impact on Student and Adult
Behavior
(“If…then...” Statements)
See Step 4 (DMR):
Select Specific Strategies
See Step 5 (DMR):
Determine Results Indicators
Use of F&P levels to provided guided
reading at students’ instructional
levels.
Use of an Instructional Coach to
support teachers by providing them
with opportunities to observe expert
peers using high leverage instructional
strategies, provide feedback ,
modeling and co-teaching with them.
Teachers will have opportunities to
have lessons recorded to review with
coach to identify strengths and areas
of growth.
Use of the newly purchased digital
Science resource (STEMscopes) and
Discovery Ed. Resources as
instructional tools so that teachers
may more easily provide hands-on
learning experiences aligned with the
current Science Standards.
If teachers administer Fountas and
Pinnell running records with fidelity
and use the results to design and
work with guided reading groups at
the instructional levels of their
students, student reading levels will
increase.
If teachers take advantage of
opportunities to observe peers in
their areas of expertise using high
leverage instructional strategies,
record and review their lessons,
and seek out other opportunities
to receive support from our
academic coach, they will elevate
the levels of teaching and
learning in their classrooms.
If teachers use newly available
Science resources (Stemscopes) and
discovery Learning to provide
students with no risk “hook”
activities based on standards, as well
as using other elements of these
resources, student achievement in
the area of Science will increase.

We will monitor and evaluate progress through classroom observations, Data Team and IST meetings,
feedback from teachers during December and April TKES meetings, follow-up survey done by instructional
coach in April, Milestone results, Interim results, follow –up diversity parent survey in spring, conversations
at Diversity Roundtable discussions
2015-16 Professional Learning Plan
Professional Learning Goal(s):
Teachers will increase the use of research based instructional strategies with support from instructional coach.
Teachers will use itslearning more effectively to better support students and parents.
Teachers will learn how to better understand and meet the needs of our diverse population.
Connection to Continuous Improvement Goal(s):
Professional Learning is designed to support teachers as they expand the use of itslearning with students and parents,
strengthen their ability to meet the needs of our increasingly diverse population (Learner Profile), and increase high
leverage teaching strategies. This calendar is a work in progress and will be added to as the year progresses and we see
additional needs and opportunities to provide professional learning.
