Reasons for Success Teachers Instructional support staff Students Community Support Belief that Union County and excellence should go hand in hand

Reasons for Success Formative Assessment Carnegie Math Kentucky Association of School Councils (KASC) Right people in the right places Special thanks to KDE’s Special Education Department

Concerns: District Although we made tremendous progress, we are still in NCLB consequences-must meet AYP 1 more year The high school has not made satisfactory progress – Double digit number of NOVICE in the areas of Science, Math, and Social Studies – ACT scores Elementary schools did not make satisfactory progress Again, we must understand that this data is not an end, but rather a roadmap for future improvement

Needs for Continued Improvement High performance mindset-Top 10 High EXPECTATIONS for all stakeholders RIGOR Culture of high expectations Response to Intervention (RtI) at every level Improved instructional strategies Use of existing formative assessment and curriculum specialist Continued use of innovative Special Education strategies Elimination of bureaucratic barriers
