Decisions and Actions
Reviewed our last meeting (November)
Big things coming up: Regional meeting coming up to
assess our new two year plan. Future, we will lay out
everything we are going to do.
At our last meeting, we all did research on Hattie’s high
yield classroom practices. We collaborated and each
took a topic to obtain data.
There is a google docs paper with every groups findings.
Data: Walk-through
Team members are going to review packets together and
track/assess past data.
Team members are going to look at packets alone, then collaborate
with a partner, write down findings.

Whole group discussion:
EOG data-over a period of 3 years we went from 25% of students
receiving a 1 or a 2, it has gone down to 21%
With the student reassignment, we lost about 125 AIG students.
Students that are classified as SPED went from 13 to 31. This was
because there were 6 class periods, so there may be more students
classified as separate setting instead of resource.
Staff Demographics-Positives: 22 board certified. The state is at 6.
Turnover may be related to turnover and other schools opening. BTs
increased from 13% to 21%. Losing 4-10 year people, but keeping
10+ years.
Student Survey-372 7th graders were surveyed here compared to
other schools. Very consistent data. Only 14% of students say that
they don’t feel safe. That is consistent with other schools in the
county. 1/3 of kids feel that they cannot talk to an adult. ½ think that
bullying is problem. Looked into definition of what bullying is. 50% of
kids do see and find that as an issue. Survey questions seemed
“cloudy” These are 7th graders who may not know much outside of
Dillard.
Teacher Working Condition Survey-Positive for the school, teachers
do feel that they have enough time to collaborate. But teachers feel
that they do not have enough time to meet every need of every
student.
Teachers feel they have enough office supplies, but not enough
technology
Teachers feel that the community knows what is going on, but they
are not there to support teachers
Teachers feel that admin supports teachers, but students are not
following the rules
Rodgers brought up the fact that yes we do have a lot of students
that do not follow the rules, but admin is there to help. We do need
more support, expectations to be set for the beginning of next year.
Teacher leadership-fair evaluation but did not always feel
recognized. Leadership team not doing something to address
student conduct
Professional development needs to be differentiated for what
teachers need.
Instructional practices..testing is still not assessing what students
actually know
