Anderson School District Two’s 2012
Teacher of the Year is Honea Path
Elementary School’s teacher, Anne
Allred. Anne has been teaching at
Honea Path Elementary for three
years. She graduated from the
College of Charleston with a
a B. S. Degree in Elementary
Education.
Mrs. Allred is a Merit
Academy Teacher, Write
From the Beginning
Trainer, and a former
SCCTM presenter.
Mrs. Allred is married
and has three sons.
As with many of her
colleagues, teaching has
always been in her blood.
When she was in school, she
remembers

assisting classmates who were having
difficulties with the curriculum. She was
the one who volunteered to help
when she completed her work.
Mrs. Allred states, “Since my
mother had been a teacher, I
was emulating her love of
teaching at an early age by
helping my classmates.
Little did I know that my
teachers were providing
me with a higher level of
education by letting me
analyze my friends’
mistakes and helping them
make corrections. This
along with many inspiring
teachers helped fuel my
calling to become a teacher.”
Congratulations, Anne Allred!

The Comprehensive Needs Assessment addressed the following areas:
(1) Student Achievement, (2) Teacher/Administrator Quality, and (3) School
Climate. Action plans with goals for improvement have been developed for
each of these areas. State test results, SAT/ACT scores, District Achievement
Test results, district benchmark test results, district and school report card data
were utilized to establish the District Strategic Five Year Plan. The technology
plan is outlined in a separate document. The baseline grade level data for
grades 3-8 established for this report are the scores reflective of the 2009
PASS for ELA, Math, Science and Social Studies. For grades 3-8 in 2009,
17% of the students scored Not Met in ELA. The challenge will be to continue
increasing the percent of students scoring at the Met and Exemplary levels.
An analysis of ELA and Math PASS data by subgroups shows that AfricanAmerican, Disabled and Free/Reduced lunch students are scoring lower than
their counterparts. In ELA, of the students scoring Not Met, 25.8% were
African-American, 50.3% were students with Learning Disabilities and 44.6%
were students of Free/Reduced meal status. In math, of the students scoring
not met, 33.1% were African American, 62.1% were students with Learning
Disabilities and 49.3% were students of Free/Reduced meal status. District
administered PASS-like 1st and 2nd grade tests in math and ELA indicate that
we must be sure students are receiving standards-based instruction in K-2 so
students are prepared for state 3rd grade tests.

Strategic Plan Continued
Presently, 100% of the core academic
subject teachers are highly qualified.
Likewise, 100% of all paraprofessional
staff is highly qualified. All applicants
will be screened to assure that new
hires meet the highly qualified criteria.
Recruitment efforts will identify potential
candidates. As teachers recertify they
must complete the technology
competency requirement. Training on
the new state evaluation model (SAFET) was completed in 2009. Training
session are held to certify new
personnel. The state mandated
upgrade trainings were held for
those already certified as evaluators.
Therefore, our future goal is to
focus on improving teacher
performance, motivating learners
and creating quality assessments
aligned to district goals as
evidenced by professional
development days on the
state report card.
Anderson School District Two’s future goals for school climate are
centered on the following: 1) increasing student and teacher
attendance and 2) implementing the six National Standards of
Parent/Family Involvement to nurture family friendly schools for
success. By studying Joyce Epstein’s book, School, Family and
Community Partnerships, schools will develop strategies to
positively impact parent/family involvement to support children as
students.
The 2012 Report Card survey revealed an attendance rate of
95.4% for teachers and 96.2% for students. The data reveals
that an average of 19.2 days was utilized for staff development as
indicated on the State Report Card. Our goal is to continue to
encourage and provide staff development opportunities.
