BEST PRACTICE #2
An Embedded High Quality RtI Process
RESPONSE TO INTERVENTION (RTI)
Response to Intervention (RtI) uses student academic and behavior information to identify students with learning
and behavior needs to guarantee that those in danger of failure and/or retention are receiving assistance and support.

Describe all intervention strategies employed by the school to improve the academic performance of students identified by the early warning system.
Cypress Bay High School will use the following intervention strategies to improve the academic performance of students identified by the early warning system:
1. In order to decrease the percentage of students with attendance below 90%, the teachers will notify the parents after 5 excused and/or excused absences. The teachers will also refer the students to the appropriate Behavior Specialist to work with the student and parent on improving the student attendance.
2. In order to decrease the percentage of students with 1 or more suspensions, Behavior Specialists will implement community service programs, small group counseling, behavior contracts and weekly progress monitoring.
3. In order to decrease the percentage of students with course failure in ELA or Math and to assist the students who are level 1 in ELA or Math, the students will be "doubled up" in two Math classes and/or two Reading classes. The students will also be encouraged to participate in free afterschool tutoring provided by the National Honor Society and Mu Alpha Theta, the Math Honor Society.
4. Level 1 and 2 students will be administered the FAIR and Achieve 3000. The data on these tests will be used to monitor these students and implement ways to help them be successful.
5. Departments will give various tests based on their subject area using the UDL design.

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?
As presented in the SES Band Data, the focus for improvement will be to address the lowest 25 percent in reading and math. Curriculum mapping proceeded the start of our school year and allowed detailed planning to create a plan of instruction to include remediation and acceleration in our courses. Some students identified as the lowest 25% with deficiencies in reading/math have been scheduled into additional classes for reading and/or math support. Our PASL initiative has been implemented into our study halls providing social-emotional aid for some of the student population based on various needs. It was important to focus on this segment of Cypress Bay, because it is our goal to provide opportunities for all students to achieve.
|
|
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?
To ensure BEST Practices are implemented, PLC communities will be the vehicle in which we will scale-up teaching and learning strategies in order to increase performance. Our PLCs will be trained in Social Emotional Learning and how to embed this learning into the classroom to provide students with a positive and safe learning environment.
|
|
Describe in detail how the BEST Practice(s) will be scaled-up.
Describe in detail how the BEST Practice(s) will be scaled-up
The BEST Practices will be scaled-up by implementing the initiatives listed below.
- School-wide Professional Learning Communities will focus on Marzano's High Yield Instructional Strategies and the sharing of "Best Practices" to improve student achievement in reading and math.
- After School Tutoring Program, (SELA - Success in English Language Arts & Math Works!) which is a whole child approach to increasing student achievement in all content areas by fostering a safe learning environment that will address study skills, effective time management, and tutoring.
- Parent Workshops on various topics to support our parents and students throughout the school year. Seminar Topics: "Student Success Strategies: AP, PSAT, FOCUS and More," and "Financial Aid: What's New and What to Do?" and "Building a Bright Future Through Opportunities.”
School-wide Professional Learning Communities will integrate high yield Marzano Instructional Strategies, share Best Practices, implement writing-based assessments, and participate in Social Emotional Learning training. The Personalization and Social - Emotional Learning (PASL) program will be expanded to include four core PASL study halls and 15 regular PASL study halls. The program will provide mentoring for students identified as at risk. The PASL committee will meet biweekly to assess progress, reflect, and refine the program.
|
|
What specific school-level progress monitoring data is collected and how often?
Professional Learning Communities will collaborate on standards-based instruction and create common assessments which will be collected and analyzed. The results will be used in the PLC to make adjustments and changes as needed to the curriculum. PASL data will be collected via a File Maker Pro database and analyzed for progress.
|
|
How does the school ensure the fidelity of students not progressing towards school and district goals?
Students who are identified as at risk have been scheduled into additional math or reading courses, assigned to PASL study halls or Core PASL study halls. PASL study halls are monitored by teachers, administrators, and guidance counselors. Supplemental interventions include after school tutoring as well as Biology, U.S. History, and mathematics EOC workshops. Online support strategies include Naviance, Khan Academy, NewsEla, Vocabulary.com, Achieve 3000, Reading Plus, and Math Nation as well as Canvas course usage.
|
|
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)?
The use of Universal Designs for Learning is intended to personalize the approach to learning by addressing the unique learning styles of individual students. The use of Professional Learning Communities is a resource for sharing Best Practices and presenting Adult Learning to its participants that will offer varied methods of pedagogy to integrate into classrooms. The creation of each teacher's Deliberate Practice Plan also presents a challenge to classroom instruction by addressing areas of improvements.
|
|
How does the school ensure Tier 1 Standards-Based classroom instruction is being implemented properly and effectively?
Professional Learning Communities are created based on common content areas in order that participants share their Best Practices in teaching in a standards-based classroom. Curriculum mapping is annually conducted prior to the beginning of the school year in order to modify and present the course standards in a logical and rigorous manner.
|
|
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?
All textbooks are available to students through Broward County Schools' online Single Sigh On (SSO) and via hard copy either by distribution to students or class sets. Canvas has been instituted in courses providing instruction and resources in student courses. Additional assets can be found through Khan Academy, NewsEla, Math Nation, Vocabulary.com, Achieve 3000, Light Speed Campus Library, and Naviance which ensure that literary and informational text is accessible to all students.
|
|
Please complete this section based on 2018-2019 end-of-year results.
Instructional Implications: Discuss the success of specific strategies/activities and provide a rationale as to why those academic improvements occurred as a result of those strategies.
As a result of the planned SIP actions for Cypress Bay High School, a number of improvements can be observed. In the area of English Language Arts via FSA assessment, the percentage of Level 3 proficient students increased by more than 5%. Mathematics EOC scores has improved from 78% to 83% with Learning Gains from the lowest 25% from 51% to 59%. In the area of Accelerated Programs earning college credit enrollment has improved from 75% to 79%.
