Upon completion of a comprehensive needs assessment the following challenges were identified:
1) The close alignment of instruction with the pacing guides and curriculum maps.
2)Implementation of the SPI tracker for monitoring student progress toward proficiency.
3) Successful use of weekly PLCs to focus on student achievement and analyze student data.
4.) Utilizing successful inclusion practices to eliminate gaps in the SWD subgroup.
1) Deficiencies in reading comprehension for many of our students.
2) The unforeseen departure of the English II teacher mid-semester.
3) TVAAS data reflected low achievement probabilities for many of our students in RLA.
5) Conducting formative assessments and regional level common assessment and utilizing the data to

Key strategies to achieve goals:
1.
Strategy: Weekly PLC meetings in the content areas of English-I, II, III, Algebra I, Algebra II and Biology and instructional materials and supplies for each subject area.
Implementation Plan: October 2014- April 2015 staff will meet in PLC’s to analyze student data and address concerns.
Desired outcomes: Faculty and leadership team will effectively track student progress, students will receive needed interventions or
Enrichment opportunities and meet the achievement goals for 2014-2015.
Projected costs and funding sources: The projected cost of $14,000 will include EOC workbooks and classroom supplies. Funding Source: School-wide Title I funds
Describe how this specific strategy will help you achieve your goals for the 2014-15 school year and address areas of challenge from the past year:
One of the areas of challenge from the previous year was the change in teachers for the
English II position. We plan to hire a highly qualified English teacher for the position who will help our students meet their academic goals. The weekly PLC’s will provide team level support to the new teacher. He/she will receive research based, ongoing professional development on how to track students, how analyze the data and use the data to make instructional decisions in the classroom. Additionally, the new teacher will be assigned to a learning coach.

The proposed strategy is essential to ensure that our students receive high quality instruction daily and that accountability is evident in every classroom. Students who receive consistently high quality instruction will have a greater probability of meeting their achievement and TVAAS growth goals for the year. All teachers will employ reflective practice strategies and participate on collaborative teams to ensure student success.
3.
Strategy: Administer DEA Formative assessments and other high quality assessments developed by the school-based assessment team.
Implementation Plan: DEA Formative assessments will be administered 3 times per school year. Common assessments will be administered every four weeks beginning
