BUILDING CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT PLAN (CIP) Building: Pickerington High School Central Building Strengths: Met all 10th and 11th grade OGT indicators on the 2014 Report Card. More than 80% of all students passed each OGT section. Both 4 and 5-year graduation rates are above the 93 and 95% respective benchmarks. Diverse Population of students A lot of leaders amongst the staff. Wide variety of course offerings Student Leadership Opportunities Positive School Activities: House time/Challenges Wide variety of extra curricular activities Building Areas of Challenge: Increasing the Performance Index (PI) within each achievement level. AMO gap goals in Reading Proficiency were not met for the IEP Subgroup. Gap for IEP = 17.7 AMO gap goals in Math Proficiency were not met for the IEP and African American Subgroup. Gap for IEP = 26.5 GAP for A.A. = 2.7. Not meeting expectations of ACT and AP scores compared to district similar to us. Finding time to work with students for intervention and enrichment Not implementing common assessments and/or quarterly assessments in core areas. Weak in data analysis and how it drives instruction. Again need to have common data to analyze. Not enough time to meet and develop curriculum and/or assessments within each department in both schools. If this is the goal/vision then as a district we need to arrange the school day to accommodate for this. Board and community need to understand this important piece. Attendance rates for IEP and economically disadvantaged students. Focus: (Goals) 1) By the end of the 2014-2015 school year we will increase overall student achievement by 3% as measured by the P.I. on the state report card. 2) By the end of the 2014-2015 school year we will maintain and/or increase all AMO goals in Reading Proficiency, Math Proficiency and Graduation Rate to a minimum of 80 points earned. *Emphasis will be on IEP and African American Subgroups. 3) By the end of the 2014-2015 school year we will decrease the number of discipline referrals and absences for special education and economically disadvantaged students by 5% over the previous years’ data. 1) By the end of the 2014-2015 school year we will increase overall student achievement by 3% as measured by the P.I. on the state report card. Actions: Mid Year Check: 1. OGT tutoring will occur in smaller groups and more frequently to give students more repetitions in the core areas of need. 2. Implement OGT strategies within the classroom. Teachers will be able to identify who falls within these subgroups so that they can monitor the progress and growth of these students. Attendance, data from previous tests to determine areas of concern, spring data to evaluate content strands. Frequent and deliberate progress monitoring. 2) By the end of the 2014-2015 school year we will maintain and/or increase all AMO goals in Reading Proficiency, Math Proficiency and Graduation Rate to a minimum of 80 points earned. *Emphasis will be on IEP and African American Subgroups. Actions: 1. Each Department/TBT has developed actions that address the CIP goals that apply to them. (See Attached) Actions include: • Implementing springboard • Content pacing guides • Implementing common assessments • Mastery grading policies (Why are we grading this? What does a grade mean?) Mid Year Check: Walkthroughs, observations, teacher based team discussions, adult implementation of the strategy, STAR data. Analyzing common STAR data, data collection, student improvement on assessment. Embedded assessments implemented with in the spring board curriculum for both Math and English 2. By the end of the 2014-2015 school year we will decrease the number of discipline referrals and absences for special education and economically disadvantaged students by 5% over the previous years’ data. Actions: 1. Team will look at data in the following student areas: Mid Year Check: Identifying students who fall in these ranges and setting interventions to help them succeed. • Attendance • Tardies, class cuts and other discipline behaviors. 2. Positive rewards for positive behavior in the building. (PBIS) Results we expect: 1. Over all school student achievement will increase by 3% in our Performance Index scores. 2. Special Education subgroup will show a 10% increase in Reading and Math. (Gap closing) 3. African American subgroup will show a 7% increase in Math proficiency (Gap Closing) 4. Departments will develop common quarterly common assessments. 5. Increase attendance rates of IEP and economically disadvantage by 3%. Use On Time Graduation Data to help identify these students, along with Adhoc reporting. Mid Year Check: STAR data shows that students are improving in the areas of Reading and Math. Progress monitoring shows special education students are improving in areas of Reading and Math. TBT tracking sheets show evidence of development of quarterly assessments, pacing guides and analysis of data. Link to District CIP Our Focus goals align with DLT Goal #1, #2, but #3 did not apply so we created a PBIS goal.
