5. This Year We Implemented a System-Wide Plan to Increase Math Achievement Among All Students
We shifted math instruction in grades three through six from self-contained classrooms led by master math teachers. Among our 600+ elementary teachers, we identified teachers who have an affinity for mathematics and a strong conceptual understanding of math skills beyond procedural methods.
Number of K-6 Teachers

6. To Accelerate Student Growth in Mathematics We Revised our Curriculum, Our Instructional Day, and Our Professional Development and Compensation System
We departmentalized math instruction in grades three through five.
Monday through Thursday students in grades 3 through 5 receive 90 minutes per day of instruction on new content.
These students participate in Math seminars on Fridays to cover material they have not mastered to enrich in areas of mastery.
We implemented Standards based Reporting in grades 3 – 5.
We accelerated a quarter of our students in fifth grade to access sixth grade math standards.
We revised our benchmark assessments to reflect acceleration.
Math teachers in grades 3-7 have several opportunities for professional development each month and during the summer.
We expanded stipends and professional development for secondary math teachers.

We created and the Board approved a continuous learning program for secondary math teachers designed to deepen their expertise in math and application areas associated with our college and career readiness programs in fields such as economics, finance, engineering design, robotics, and cyber security.
We created and the Board approved a significant stipend for master math teachers in elementary grades, math and science teachers in secondary grades, and core teachers at Lee High School, Johnson High School, New Century Technology High School, McNair Jr. High, Chapman P8, and Westlawn Middle School.
Our math and science teachers in grades 3 – 12 participated in the National Math and Science Initiative's Laying the Foundation (LTF) training in October and January.

11. By Way of Implementing Our Consent Decree, We Expanded Support for AP Teachers and Honors Students
Our Advanced Placement (AP) Calculus, Statistics, and Computer Science teachers attended AP summer institutes and two-day workshops conducted by A+ College Ready.
We provided at least twelve AP and six honors courses in all high schools IAW the Consent Order and expanded AP enrollments among all student subgroups.
If four or fewer students expressed interest in enrolling in an AP class taught in the District but not offered at their zoned school, we offered students the opportunity to take the desired class at another high school or online.
An AP off-site procedure was developed to provide students options of taking the desired AP course in another high school that included transportation and individual scheduling of the desired course.
We installed VILT labs this school year to expand student access to AP courses and Career Academy courses.
On June 6-9 we conducted an “Honors Camp” for rising seventh and ninth grade students in the Jemison and Lee feeder patterns who will be enrolled in honors classes for the first time.

During students technology use increased by approximately 12 percent.

19. As Presented in the June 2nd BOE Meeting, We have Reviewed Requirements for Written Work and Developed a Plan to Increase Student Capacity to Author College and Career Level Written Work
We established a writing committee composed of English, Math, Science, Social Studies and Career Academy teachers to developed a cross- curricula writing framework for grades 7 through 12.
District core subject teachers have been trained on Alabama CCRS standards for writing across the curriculum.
Instructional coaches received preliminary training in coaching teachers on writing objectives.
Writing Committee is designing pacing requirements that will include required writing prompts within Science and Social Studies for

SCRIPT:
In Massachusetts, NISL trained principals in targeted low achieving schools. The academic achievement showed statistically significant increases in Math and English-Language Arts. The NISL sample consisted of 38 elementary, middle, or elementary-middle schools lead by principals who had participated in the program and remained at the same school from 2007 to 2010.
Background note : An obvious challenge in evaluating principal effectiveness is that principals are positioned two levels from the classroom. Their impacts on school quality occur through their recruitment, development, and retention of teachers, creation of positive school climates, and interpretation and enactment of federal, state, and district policies (Hallinger & Heck, 1998). Increased knowledge and skills in these roles clearly take time to filter down from principals to improved student achievement. The consistent and fairly immediate achievement score gains demonstrated in this study and in prior studies (Nunnery et al., 2010a; 2010b) for schools led by NISL-trained principals, therefore, acquire additional significance for both practice and theory. Also from a practical standpoint, the NISL Executive Development Program provides a viable alternative to the much harsher, seemingly riskier (and less proven) strategy of trying to improve student achievement simply by changing school leadership.

31. During We Engaged the National Institute of School Leadership (NISL) to Provide Professional Development for Two Cohorts of Our School Leaders
The NISL program we selected is designed to equip our principals with the tools and knowledge needed to lead their schools to becoming high-performing schools.
92% of our principals have completed or are currently enrolling in the NISL program.
Three of our principals are currently receiving professional development to become NISL Trainers. These principals will provide support and guidance to our new principals.

32. During 2015-16 We Assessed the Staff Development Needs of Secondary Science Teachers.
We will implement a new science course of study will for the school year. This course of study is aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards recently adopted by Alabama.
In view of these new standards and teacher needs, we will focus professional development on:
Seven Conceptual Shifts in the New Course of Study
Three Dimensions of the new science standards:
Scientific and Engineering Practices
Crosscutting Concepts
Disciplinary Core Ideas
The Five E Instructional Model – Engage, Explain, Explore, Extend, Evaluate
Unwrapping the New Standards
The previous course of study was dated 2005.

33. During We Added a Substantial Stipend for Science Teachers and Began Developing Science Teachers in View of their Needs
We created a substantial stipend and continuing education program for science teachers in secondary grades
Professional Development Offered During the School Year:
Quarterly state CCRS meetings attended by district curriculum specialist and lead teachers for grades K-12.
Vertical team meetings for grades 6-12 with training by lead teachers and also by AMSTI.
Summer Professional Development:
In conjunction with Alabama Math and Science and Technology Initiative (AMSTI) for Grades K-8
Presented by Alabama Science in Motion (ASIM) for Grades 9-12
In-depth training on the new standards will continue in the school year.
