Purpose:
The School Performance Plan (SPP) is a tool designed to support principals and school leadership teams in improving overall school performance, with an
emphasis on instruction and student achievement. The tool acts as an anchor in a year-round reflective evaluation process that relies on data-informed decision
making to drive documented school-level strategic planning. It is designed to capture strategies aligned with resources that support instructional priorities, a
culture of achievement, and community and parent engagement to promote improved student outcomes.

II. PREVIOUS YEAR SPP OUTCOMES AND REFLECTION
•
In this section, document the outcomes from last year's goals and reflect on the root causes surrounding why your school met or did not meet those
goals.
Outcomes (Effect Data): Complete the chart below
Last Year's Goals (auto-populate)
Final Outcome (Do not analyze here, just
state end outcome)
Was the goal met Analyze and provide reflection
or not met?
on last year’s outcome(s)
Goal 1:
The number of scholars in grades K - 4 performing well
below on BOY TRC will decrease from 82 to 60 (Grades K –
4) as measured by EOY TRC.
The number of grade 5 - 8 scholars scoring Advanced or
Proficient will increase from 6 - 35 as measured by EOY
RISE .
92 scholars performed well below as
measured by TRC, which did not meet our
goal. 26 scholars scored advanced or
proficient in reading comprehension as
measured by EOY RISE.
Not Met
While we did not meet our goal,
our K-4 scholars showed
significant gains in TRC. 5-8
scholars met the goal in
sentence processing and
vocabulary, but not the goal in
comprehension. There was not
a certified teacher for 3-5
Reading.
Goal 2: 25% of scholars ( from 22 to 57 ) grades 1 - 8 will
score 60% or higher (proficient or advanced) on quarter 4
interim math assessment.
The increase of scholars with 60% proficiency
went from 22 to 39, not meeting the goal.
Not Met
There was not a certified
teacher for Mathematics in 3-5
grade.
Goal 3:
The number of ARCA scholars will decrease from 96 to 50
by June 2015.
The ARCA increased to 105 scholars.
Not Met
The number of suspensions decreased from 45
to 13 for the school year.
Many of the ARCA students
were out of zone for our school
and had difficulty with
transportation. Efforts were
made to support parents with
transferring scholars to correct
zone school.
The number of suspensions will decrease from 45 to 35 by
June 2015.
Goal 4:
Reflections on SER Visit: If your school had SER visit then reflect on your SER visit to answer the following questions.
Reflection Questions

Did the findings from the SER align with your perception of your school’s
performance at the time of the site visit? Which findings were surprising?
Deflating? Encouraging?

In reviewing the SER findings along with your performance data (qualitative
and quantitative) what is the school identifying as an area of focus?

III. INQUIRY


In this section, document your questions that your Instructional Leadership Team has regarding teaching, learning, and leadership to support planning
for the next academic school year. Keep a focus on past and future shifts in instructional programming in response to standards; and expectations
regarding programmatic goals, scheduling and collaborative planning.
This is a tool to support the activity of Inquiry which should come before looking at data.
o Generating questions before looking at your school’s data supports a focus for the data analysis.
o Questions focused on a deeper understanding of contents and grade level expectations for MCCRC and PARCC assessments.
o Ask questions directly related to raising the “Bar” for every student.
Teaching (Adult Actions) Questions
Learning (Student Outcomes) Questions
Leadership (ILT Actions) Questions
Are teachers certified in areas of instruction?
Were the goals unattainable?
Was the tool TRC/RISE appropriate?
Are teachers asking higher order questions in
classroom?
How did scholar attendance impact their
performance?
Were the strategies implemented with fidelity?
Are teachers planning rigorous lessons matching the How does scholar motivation impact achievement?
standards?
How will the ILT improve monitoring of
implementation?
Are teachers differentiating to meet student needs?
How can we decrease scholar mobility?
How can classroom teachers assist with ARCA
students?
How can we make students more accountable?

V. ANALYZE DATA TO PRIORITIZE STRENGTHS AND NEEDS



Select the data that can answer your inquiry questions and analyze it to document top three strengths and needs within your school.
Use this data to identify the problem(s) of practice by conducting a root cause analysis (strengths and needs based on evidence)
Prioritize the problem of practice (needs)
Prioritized Strengths based on Effect Data (Student Outcomes)
Inferences (Why is this an area of strength?)
1.
Second grade had 56% advanced or proficient scholars in Mathematics Q4. Teacher certified. Strong classroom management.
2.
Based on SLO data, first and second grade scholars increased at least 3-4
guided reading levels.
Teachers implemented and used differentiation, guided reading, progress
monitoring. Teachers were certified and experienced. Strong classroom
management.
3.
Only 13 suspensions.
School wide behavioral intervention programs.
Prioritized Needs based on Effect Data (Student Outcomes)
Inferences (Why is this an area for growth?)
1.
Students reading and writing on grade level. Only 26 scholars ( or 24%) in
grades 5-8 performed proficient or advanced. Only 51 scholars (or
28%) in grades K-4 performed proficient or advanced.
2.
Students performing Mathematics on grade level. Only 39 scholars (or 16 Many scholars lack the basic math skills and as a result they are performing well
%) in grades 1-8 scored proficient or advanced in Mathematics.
below grade level. Student attendance affects student performance. There
were non certified teachers in the content area. Scholar management affected
performance as well.
3.
Student attendance. ARCA students encompassed 32.1% of the total
population. Overall, the attendance rate was 89.5% school wide.
School Performance Plan for Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Elementary/Middle
Many scholars lack the basic reading skills and as a result they are reading well
below grade level. Student attendance affects student performance.
School population is highly transient. 38 scholars transferred in while 42
transferred out. Many of our scholars live out-of-zone and rely on public
transportation to get to school.

VI. ESTABLISHING SMART GOALS, STRATEGIES, AND RESULTS INDICATORS




In this section, document your school's SMART goals, strategies, and results indicators for the year.
SMART goals are derived from prioritized needs (Problems of Practice).
Strategies should be directly related to prioritized needs.
A Result Indicator will be identified for each strategy. A result indicator refers to the measurable interim steps that take place to progress towards an
identified goal: If we use (strategy), then the following will result (student impact, effective implementation behavior).
ACADEMIC SMART Goal #1:
75% (37/50) of scholars in grades K-2 performing below grade level will increase by at least three levels as measured by EOY TRC. The number of scholars on or
above grade level in Reading in grades 3-8 will increase from 10-25 scholars.
Strategies (If...)
Results Indicators (Then...)
Instructional
1.
If we implement small group instruction
1. Then teachers will plan for small group lessons
based on data, re-teach reading skills and
students will apply the skills during independent
reading which will be reflected in progress
monitoring.
Organizational Strategies
1.
If we incorporate DEAR (Drop Everything and Read) School-wide
Reading Initiative into the daily schedule
1. Then teachers will model appropriate reading
behaviors and scholars will engage in
independent reading daily.
Family Involvement Strategy

Invite the school community for Literacy Involvement Activities
2.
Host a Book Fair for families and community members to obtain
literature for use in the home
1. Then teachers will model for parents how to
engage with Literature in order to make
inferences or draw conclusions from complex
texts and the scholars will use the strategies
during independent reading which will be
reflected in progress monitoring.
2. Then teachers will will make recommendations
for high interest books appropriate for scholars
individual levels.
