The Mileposts program allows uutolook at data on student achievement all in one place. The focus is on the data, The District School Liaisons participate with the school teams at their weekly early release meetings. It is wonderful to see what is happening at the schools and the response has been good, The improvement plans establishe SMART Goals under the Board's goals so that everyone is on the same page and going io the same direction. Telford Academy is new m the school improvement process, The prior model looked at historical data, The new model does not look at growth but only at proficiency. Telford was in the top qUadile for growth for pay-for-performance yet they are required to submit turn-arOUnd plans, The need for a tUm-arOUnd plan is a function of the students who go to Telford. They have only 20 — 3O Students enrolled and they are the ones that struggle the most in the District. That equates m about 1% Of Our middle school students, Wo looked a( the possibility n( loaning a school within a school but then we would lose alternative school funding. TUrn-around schools are the lowest 20% in the state and % ofthern are alternative schools. Mr. Wo |nteohu|memportedNot the process was good for Telford and it brought some things to light, The school will now start using walk-thrOUgh evaluations. The faculty will begin meeting twice each rnonth to look at student achievement toward common core standards, Sandcreek Middle School was rated as a three star school last year, If they remain at three stars this year they will be required to Submit an improvement plan again next year, Rocky Mountain Middle School obtained new school status last year, They were rated as three stars last year. If they remain at that level next year, they will be required to Submit an improvement plan as well. The Sandcreek plan is aligned with the PLC team structure and is a good tight plan for next year.
