Priorities Improve the School’s Grade Complete the School Improvement Plan (Sep. 30) School Accreditation Preparation (Nov. 1st) Continue to Build a Strong School Culture Recruit, Develop and Retain Quality Staff

2016-2017 Instructional Plan Increased Academic Performance Leadership & Instructional Accountability Instructional Excellence Continuous Improvement Using Data

Continuous Improvement Using Data Continuous Improvement Cycle Multiple Data Sources Staff Data Training and Application Increased Progress Monitoring Data Chats with Staff & Students FCIM, mini assessments, mandatory parent conferences, parent letters, teacher created assessments, baseline, iReady, Fluency challenges, Eureka Math and ReadyGen assessments, data chats

Continuous Improvement Cycle

Leadership and Instructional Accountability Professional Learning Community (PLC) Improved Data Analysis Weekly Leadership Team Meetings Frequent Teacher Observations & Feedback Response to Intervention (RtI) Teachers and admin meet regularly to analyze assessments and data. PLC topics include items that need improvement to increase learning i.e. lesson planning, assessments, data analysis, small group instruction, vocabulary acquisition, book talks, lesson studies, etc.

Academic Excellence Staff Professional Development Collaborative Learning Activities Response to Intervention (RtI) Bottom Quartile Focus Bubble Students Expanded Learning Opportunities (STEM, Computer Science, etc.) Florida Standards -monthly staff development sessions focus on school instructional focus- writing across the curriculum and vocabulary acquisition -teachers plan together and discuss assessments and use for data -RtI includes three tier of instruction. ESE teacher, classroom teacher and interventionists are responsible for determining student needs and scheduling them accordingly Instructional coaches are building level experts on New Florida Standards. PLCs include unpacking the standards and looking at resources to use during rigorous lessons.

Math Improvement Plan Team visit to Wayman Academy first week of September Scheduled progress monitoring in 6 week cycles Better data analysis/early baseline assessment Staff professional development sessions with external math consultant Small group instructional time/student rotations Adjust schedule to target bottom quartile Better familiarity with the math curriculum Staff realignment Better job at minimizing disruptions

ELA Improvement Plan Early baseline testing of all new students Increased rigor with non-fiction texts Improved data analysis cycles Targeted small group instruction Staff realignment Increased familiarity with the Reading series Scheduled progress monitoring in 6 week cycles

Science Improvement Plan Staff stability Early baseline testing of all new students More hands on experiences for students Increased non-fiction text renderings Supplemental scientific instruction for scholars

School Accreditation AdvancED is the accrediting agency 5 year renewal Accreditation is a school improvement process Consists of an internal review and an external review of 5 standards {Governance & Leadership} 35 indicators rated on a scale of 1-4 Team of 3-4 members will arrive November 1st Review will include Pre-K Board members will participate in the process

2016-2017 School Goals Our target for what we will accomplish this school term

2016-2017 School Goals GOAL I Tiger Academy students will demonstrate competence on the Florida Standards Assessment by having a school grade of a B or better GOAL II Tiger Academy students’ Math iReady scores will increase by 35% from the Fall 2016 administration to the Spring 2017 administration. Tiger Academy students’ Reading iReady scores will increase by 35% from the Fall 2016 administration to the Spring 2017 administration.

Principal Strategies More frequent classroom observations. Visit every classroom, a minimum of twice per week. More data analysis professional development Continue to develop teacher leaders via PLC & Data sessions on 3 week cycles Consult with a trusted peer evaluator to provide quarterly visits to Tiger for feedback Provide quicker feedback to staff. Utilize technology to facilitate the process. Minimum of 3 evaluations per year per teacher. Bi-weekly Embrace the shared decision making process while making unpopular decisions when needed.

2016-2017 Principal Goals #1 Tiger Academy students will demonstrate competence on the Florida Standards by increasing the Reading and Math performance on the Florida Standards Assessment from 44% of total points to 54% of the total available points. July 2017 #2 Tiger Academy students will increase by 30% the percentage of students on or above grade level according to iReady Reading from Fall to Spring. June 2017 #3 Tiger Academy students will increase by 35% the percentage of students on or above grade level according to iReady Math and iReady Reading from Fall to Spring. #4 90% of more of the Tiger Academy staff will agree that Mr. McWhite provides strong instructional leadership. #5 Increase staff retention rate by maintaining a minimum of 80% of the certificated teaching staff for the 2016-2017 school term.

Potential Barriers Free VPK now offered in all Title I schools Duval County’s incentives for attracting and maintaining teachers Length of the school year/short summer % of students who arrive as Level 1 or Level 2; also private school students transferring to Tiger Lack of transportation Professional Development Opportunities for staff
