BEST PRACTICE #3
Optimal Internal/External Relationships
ACCREDITATION PROCESS
The Accreditation Process leads schools to critically evaluate teaching and
learning with a focus on academic excellence. All stakeholders (parents, students, staff, and community) are part of the accreditation process.

BEST PRACTICE #4
Scaling Up BEST Practices
CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT
School improvement is based on a continuous improvement model, using research-based accepted best practices, which align with student
achievement needs, insure student progress, and may be revised when appropriate.
|
|
Goals
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 our SES 8 Band data, the content areas focus on improving student achievement are as follows: Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies. The FSA 10, Algebra EOC, Biology and the U.S. History EOC data are requirements for high school graduation which are integral to the success of all students graduation goals. The data analysis compared within our band indicates that our students are underperforming in these subject areas. We will collaborate with our SES band to scale up best practices for improvement.
|
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?
In order to improve teaching and learning we will continue to scale up the following BEST practice:
In an effort to achieve our stated goals, students will be engaged in the following activities (FL.DOE).
- Reading assignments from longer text passages as well as shorter ones when text is extremely complex.
- Making close reading and rereading of texts central to lessons.
- Asking high-level, text-specific questions and requiring high-level, complex tasks and assignments.
- Requiring students to support answers with evidence from the text.
- Providing extensive text-based research and writing opportunities (claims and evidence).
- Gradual Release of Responsibility Model (GRRM)
- Explicit Vocabulary Instruction (Word Recognition and study)
- Explicit Reading Instruction through Close Reading Strategies
- Progress Monitoring and Data Chats?
- Differentiated Instruction
|
Describe in detail how the BEST Practice(s) will be scaled-up.
In order to increase performance within the SES band, teachers have received professional development regarding the Marzano’s high yield learning strategy, Scales and Learning Goals. Teachers will deconstruct their course standards with the students. Students and teachers will use performance scales to monitor a student’s understanding and mastery of the standard. Teacher’s will continue to use common assessments. In order to enrich students who are performing at or below level on their learning scale, teachers will provide activities that address real world applications (problems and solutions) of implementation of the particular standard that go beyond what was taught in the classroom.
|
What specific school-level progress monitoring data is collected and how often?
Through the Curriculum, Assessment, Remediation, and Enrichment (CARE) cycle within each department are common assessments, performance learning scales, data chats and scaling up BEST practices which all impacts student achievement. Each department is to analyze the results of their common assessment student performance results (PSAT, SAT, PERT, EOC, and Strands) and align their next step based on the areas of weakness found. Depending on the assessment, data is collected from monthly to annually.
|
How does the school ensure the fidelity of students not progressing towards school and district goals?
Strategies are implemented with fidelity through bimonthly Curriculum Council meetings whereby the Curriculum, Assessments, Remediation, and Enrichment (CARE) process is discussed within each department and at each PLC meeting. Students that need additional support , by the Rti process and supports initiated. Classroom teachers have data chats with students in collaboration with the school counselors, administration and other support staff.
|
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)?
Our authentic Professional Learning Communities (PLC) collaborate to ensure that there is a cycle of curricular alignment to standards, purposeful lesson presentation, common assessments and progress monitoring followed by reflection practices. In addition, we scale up best practices by sharing proven educational practices with fellow teachers through cross-curricular instruction.
|
How does the school ensure Tier 1 Standards-Based classroom instruction is being implemented properly and effectively?
All students receive high quality, differentiated, culturally responsive core academic and behavioral instruction through the general education program. It is designed to meet the needs of and ensure positive outcomes for a minimum of 80% of all students. We hold bimonthly curriculum council meetings to monitor overall student progress, identifying students who need additional support through Rti and initiating those supports. In addition, teachers collaborate in authentic professional learning communities monitoring data and developing enrichment/remediation material for current state standards.
|
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?
Online textbooks are availible for most subjects. Some additional resources that students have free access to are USA Test Prep for Science, NewsELA for Literacy, and Algebra Nation for Math. All teachers use Canvas as a online medium to their classroom. The online platform provides access to materials such as videos, power points, teacher notes, tutorials, syllabus, and other information.
