Comprehensive School Improvement Plan
North Park Elementary School
Introduction
The process of Improvement Planning in Kentucky is used as the means of determining how schools and districts will plan to
ensure that students reach proficiency and beyond by 2014. The process focuses school and district improvement efforts on
student needs by bringing together all stakeholders to plan for improvement, by focusing planning efforts on priority needs and
closing achievement gaps between subgroups of students, by building upon school and district capacity for high quality
planning, and by making connections between the funds that flow into the district and the priority needs in schools.
Your school's plans for improvement must be based on careful and honest analysis of data, address all content areas, and
clearly address gaps in student achievement.

Comprehensive School Improvement Plan
North Park Elementary School
Introduction
Every school has its own story to tell. The context in which teaching and learning takes place influences the processes and procedures by
which the school makes decisions around curriculum, instruction, and assessment. The context also impacts the way a school stays faithful
to its vision. Many factors contribute to the overall narrative such as an identification of stakeholders, a description of stakeholder
engagement, the trends and issues affecting the school, and the kinds of programs and services that a school implements to support
student learning. <br><br> The purpose of the Executive Summary (ES) is to provide a school with an opportunity to describe in narrative
form the strengths and challenges it encounters. By doing so, the public and members of the school community will have a more complete
picture of how the school perceives itself and the process of self-reflection for continuous improvement. This summary is structured for the
school to reflect on how it provides teaching and learning on a day to day basis.

North Park Elementary School
Description of the School
Describe the school's size, community/communities, location, and changes it has experienced in the last three years. Include
demographic information about the students, staff, and community at large. What unique features and challenges are associated
with the community/communities the school serves?
North Park Elementary opened its doors for the first time in August of 2010. North Park's student population is comprised of preschool and
kindergarten children from four elementary schools; Meadow View, Radcliff, Vine Grove, and Woodland located in the north end of Hardin
County. At the time of North Park's configuration, two of the four schools performed well on Kentucky's State Assessment and met their AYP
under No Child Left Behind prior to the North Park configuration. In 2010, one school of the four schools met AYP, but all are continuing to
make progress. The four schools that North Park was created from are also schools that have been implementing strategies from the
Thoughtful Education process. Since 2010, we have used Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) data to address specific issues at North
Park.
As North Park's identity in the Hardin County School system evolves, we have started to focus on many of the same instructional strategies
and programs common to the three schools above as well as other schools in our district. The focus of our professional development and
faculty/team meetings has been on implementing teaching the Common Core Standards utilizing Thoughtful Ed strategies, Math Solutions,
the Literacy First process, Early Numeracy Strategies, PBIS, and MAP data analysis with differentiating instruction as our primary strategy for
addressing student needs.
North Park is a Title I school and will use these funds to help all students in the areas of reading, writing and math. North Park has been
granted an ESS Daytime Waiver program in which funds are used to hire instructional assistants to help students who have difficulty in the
areas of reading and math.
As we have established our identity the team building and trust that has developed among all faculty, staff, students, parents and community
has been a foundation of our success. Therefore building relationships continues to be a priority in the area of learning environment. North
Park will continue to focus on cementing the rituals and traditions that build a positive school culture that exhibits high expectations and
strong school pride.
The activities included herein will help align North Park with the common practices evident in the other elementary schools in our district.
Moreover, these activities will continue to support the strong foundation necessary for our school to provide a quality education that prepares
students for life.

North Park Elementary School
School's Purpose
Provide the school's purpose statement and ancillary content such as mission, vision, values, and/or beliefs. Describe how the
school embodies its purpose through its program offerings and expectations for students.
MISSION STATEMENT
North Park Elementary's mission statement is as follows: "The mission of North Park Elementary is to provide a safe, secure and nurturing
environment in which students form a foundation for life-long learning. Together we will nurture the potential in every student.
Our mission statement reflects the Hardin County Schools vision of "Helping Children Succeed." Through our interactions with parents,
students, staff members and community stakeholders we adopt our school system's vision and will demonstrate our beliefs as follows:
"Success for all - whatever it takes"
"School, parent and community engagement, collaboration and communication are winning combinations"
"Investing in our students is investing in Hardin County's future."
Thus we have established three school wide areas of emphasis to promote student success under which we establish school improvement
goals. The goals included in detail in the plan represent our continued pursuit towards perfection, not settling on excellence, but building on
excellence as we move forward:
I. Curriculum, Instruction, Assessment - While aligning assessment and instruction with standards, we will strive to meet the needs of all our
students through the use of flexible small grouping, differentiated instruction, MAP assessment, Thoughtful Education strategies, high order
thinking questioning and critical thinking skills. We will develop quality rigorous instruction and common assessments that are congruent to
the content standards that prepare students for a successful transition to elementary school and provide them a strong foundation needed
for life.
II. Reducing Barriers to Learning - Intentional planning will be made to utilize our ESS, ESL, Title 1, Special Education, volunteer and
Family Resource Center programs to help reduce barriers to learning and build the relationship between home, school and community.
Collaboration with these resources will enhance learning for all our students at North Park Elementary. Positive communication among all
stakeholders (parents, teachers, students, and community) will be consistent and intentional in order to build positive relationships. The use
of Positive Behavior and Intervention Supports provides a school-wide system of support that includes proactive strategies for defining,
teaching, and supporting appropriate student behaviors to create positive school environments.
III. Equity - North Park Elementary's strives to ensure that all students have access and opportunity to learning through differentiating
instruction based on student needs and their learning styles. This area of emphasis is embedded in the practices utilized in all CSIP
goals, strategies and activities.

Additional Information
Provide any additional information you would like to share with the public and community that were not prompted in the previous
sections.
North Park follows the Hardin County school district's desires to respond to student needs by basing our plan on "...intervention rather than
remediation..." in making our response "...systematic..", "timely..." and "...direct..." (pp.7-8) as based upon the research detailed and
methodology sugggested by Richard DuFour, Rebecca DuFour, Robert Eaker and Gayle Karhanek in the book Whatever It Takes (2004).
Rather than corrective action, we have chosen to develop a school improvement model that emphasizes personalization and focused
instruction as central themes. We recognize the intense need to determine what students know and can do starting from the beginning of
school.
Teachers must stress learning every day and must create strong strategies for targeted interventions based on continuous, formative
assessment. Strategies must be research based and must be measured quickly to make the necessary course adjustments.
Progress on the plan's strategies will be shared with the various stakeholder groups throughout the year. Any necessary adjustments to the
strategies will be made based on the review of impact checks in order to increase the opportunities for all students to experience success
within our system of education. It is our belief that the plan is an ongoing, living document that demands responsiveness to the needs of our
students and community, therefore making its success dependent on the constant monitoring of all of its goals and strategies to ensure
applicability to current events and information.
Stakeholder Involvement
We believe that any plan's success is directly linked to the involvement and subsequent contribution of every member that the plan affects.
Prior to the posting of any revision to the plan, every stakeholder group will be given a copy of the plan to review and offer suggestions. We
will have representation from parents, staff, community and central office support staff.
Leading up to final board approval of the plan, the plan will be available to the public at least one week before adoption to allow for any
student, parent, or community member access to its content, ensuring equity and understanding of each goal and strategy.

Data Analysis
What question(s) are you trying to answer with the data and information provided to you? What does the data/information tell you?
What does the data/information not tell you?
We analyze multiple sources of data to determine how well our students are learning based on several sources. Our primary concern is
finding out whether our students are mastering the standards and performing on grade level and making continuous progress while
identifying individual students that need support.
The data tells us some of what we need to know to get students on the track, but the strutctures we put in place and monitoring of instruction
fill out the total picture. The data is ineffective at telling us why students are having difficulty, so we use multiple sources of information
gathered over time to determine what we can do to address root causes.

Areas of Strengths
What were the areas of strength you noted? What actions are you implementing to sustain the areas of strength? What is there
cause to celebrate?
The majority of students are making at least on year's growth in reading and math. Our students needing intervention have made dramatic
progress and the majority of them transition out of Tier II, no longer needing intensive interventions. Our focus is on continuing these
successful results with the different students we have each year while refining our instructional approaches.

Ideally, we strive for all students to be performing on grade level or above in Reading and Math when they leave North Park to go to first
grade. Our challenge is to provide the conditions necessary for maximum growth while keeping focused on using developmentally
appropriate practices in helping students reach their potential.

Comprehensive School Improvement Plan
North Park Elementary School
Introduction
The process of Improvement Planning in Kentucky is used as the means of determining how schools and districts will plan to ensure that
students reach proficiency and beyond by 2014. The process focuses school and district improvement efforts on student needs by bringing
together all stakeholders to plan for improvement, by focusing planning efforts on priority needs and closing achievement gaps between
subgroups of students, by building upon school and district capacity for high quality planning, and by making connections between the funds
that flow into the district and the priority needs in schools.
Your school’s plans for improvement must be based on careful and honest analysis of data, address all content areas, and clearly address
gaps in student achievement.
