Explain the activities in which your school will participate to increase your overall rating. Include specific details.

As evidenced in the SES Band Data, which content area(s) will be the focus for improving student achievement and why was this area chosen?

Based on the 2017-2018 Florida Standards Assessment, Annabel C. Perry PreK-8's percentage of total points went from a 45 to a 44 which kept Annabel C. Perry at a letter grade of a "C". When looking at specific instructional areas, the ELA achievement increased by 1 percentage making it 41%. In addition, the percentage of learning gains as well as the lowest 25% making gains increased from 50 to 54 and 42 to 55 respectively. This percent of increase can be attributed to authentic PLC's which focused on the CARE process. Although, Annabel C.Perry PreK-8's overall math achievement and lowest 25% in math declined, the general learning gains category remined the same. Our overall achievement in Science decreased from a 43 to a 34.  

As reflected in the above data, math and science will be a major focus due to a drop in overall proficiency. ELA will be a second area of focus since the scores increased over the last year. Other subjects targeted are Civics and Writing . The overall goal for Annabel C. Perry is to increase school scores by at least 4 percentage points from 44 to 48.
 

 

What specific BEST Practice(s) will be implemented or scaled-up to improve teaching and learning in order to increase performance within the SES Band?

The BEST Practices we will scale-up to improve teaching and learning in order to increase performance are Focused and Authentic PLC and PD's at each grade level along with the Embedded High Quality RtI Process in an effort to meet the needs of our diverse population.

Describe in detail how the BEST Practice(s) will be scaled-up.

 PLC’S-SCALING UP

• One 1/2 hour common planning per grade level/and or content areas for K-5 teachers.
• Weekly content/grade level PLC’s with focus on standards-based instruction.
• District Instructional Facilitators provided direct support to subject area teachers
• Teacher professional development opportunities encouraged and then followed up

What specific school-level progress monitoring data is collected and how often?

All standards based assessments (iReady standards mastery, LAFS interim assessments, Go Math assessments, CARE Cycle Minis etc) are collected and placing into a reflective data analysis sheet where students can be tracked for each standard taught as they move toward mastery. This data progress monitoring also includes all District and State assessments.

How does the school ensure the fidelity of students not progressing towards school and district goals?

 Through a valid and ongoing data analysis, Annabel C. Perry can ensure students are growing towards mastery of each standard taught. If a gap is identified, remediation takes place to assist the student with the needed information. In addition, through the data collection process, the monitoring of students who are not making gains allow for a fluid RtI process. Research based interventions, specific to the individual students needs are always provided and tracked based on a common goal.

How does the school ensure that all classroom instruction is accessible to the full range of learners using Universal Designs for Learning (UDL) for effective instructional design (planning) and delivery (teaching)?

Teachers are encouraged to attend development in the areas that THEY need. This conversation is based on an in-depth data analysis of previous years students as well as current data trends. Coaching and modeling is used throughout the school to promote UDL. In addition, the IB curriculum is promoted and used to support global learners who are reflective and active thinkers in all aspects of their learning. 

How does the school ensure Tier 1 Standards-Based classroom instruction is being implemented properly and effectively?

Classroom walkthroughs and authentic PLC's. 

Describe texts used for core, supplemental, and intervention programs at each grade level. How does the school ensure students have access to a balance of literary and informational text in a variety of mediums?

Core: Journeys, Connections, Go Math
Supplemental- iReady, LAFS, Square Panda, LLI, Fundations,
Remediation- iReady, LLI, Fundations, Square Panda, Jouneys
 
****Grade level is dependent on INDIVIDUAL student need****
 
The use of the Guided Reading Book Room as well as the new Science and Social Studies leveled readers help to ensure a balanced approach to learning. Teachers have a plethora of resources to ensure that all levels are being exposed to various texts and genres

How does your school implement the Broward County Public Schools Social and Emotional Learning Standards to ensure students are developing social and emotional skills?

The standards are implemented through ongoing development of Social Emotional Learning in daily classroom activities and lessons. In addition, our IB program and other programs such as Ride the Wave, model how to become mindful of one’s learning experience and develops SEL goals over time. All of these programs hold key components of the SEL standards.

In which ways are the five competencies of the Social Emotional Learning explicitly taught and/or integrated school-wide and in the classroom?

Different SEL programs are used to assist in the teaching of the competencies. LEAPS, Ride the Waves, Start with Hello, and International Bachelorette curriculum all take place throughout Annabel C. Perry PreK-8.

How does your school-wide policy and practices support the social emotional learning for students?

The policy at Annabel C. Perry PreK-8 supports the education of the whole child through the reflective mindset of IB curriculum.  Students are consistently viewing their educational pathways through a global lens and using various perspectives to work on their own individual growth mindset. We firmly believe that all children are capable and by keeping the pulse of each child’s educational process through progress monitoring, we can ensure every child continues to reach their potential.
