Title I Requirements

COMPREHENSIVE NEEDS ASSESSMENT of the entire school (including the needs of migrant children) with information about the academic achievement of children in relation to the state academic content standards. Describe the process utilized to conduct the comprehensive needs assessment for this school. Walter C. Young looks at our FSA data, demographics, and lowest 25% students and creates a plan to target those students. In addition, we ability group our courses so that level students are grouped together and TIER 2 academic interventions are put into place, inevitably to obtain learning gains as well as to increase their individual scale score, which idealy will move them up a level. Next, after reviewing the data from the 2017-2018 school year Walter C. Young foresees the following instructional implications: Specific activities that provide academic improvements will re-align PLCs to include common formative assessments that are aligned to the ELA Florida Standards to better monitor student progress in order to be able to remediate and enrich students. In addition, teachers will review and analyze student data to determine whether classroom instruction is effective as well as utilize common formative assessments to make adjustments as needed to maximize student achievement. Lastly, through the implementation of additional technology resources and support teachers we are scaling up BEST practices. The FSA results clearly depicted we needed to improve instructional practices in our ELA as will as our Math Department. Moreover, the leadership and administrative teams discussed with the department specific barriers of success. Within the data discussions it was determined that we needed to improve certain subgroups and continue to support reading through the content area.
Instruction by HIGHLY QUALIFIED TEACHERS in all core content area classes List instructional staff and paraprofessionals that are NOT highly qualified (instructional staff only). All of our paraprofessionals and instructional staff are highly qualified as well as have advanced degrees.
ATTRACT HIGH-QUALITY, HIGHLY QUALIFIED TEACHERS to the school. Describe strategies that will be used to attract high-quality, highly qualified teachers. Walter C. Young Middle school has attracted great teachers as well as have advanced degrees. We advertise through our Districts Applitrack system as well as our District's hiring fair. We promote technology, professional development to support teachers and use common planning and department chairs to assist new hires. Lastly, we have TIER program geared towards new teachers to make them feel supported and welcomed.

PARENT INVOLVEMENT Action Plan

Parent Involvement Goal: Based on the analysis of the parent involvement data, identify and define an area in need of improvement. Walter C. Young middle school will hold ongoing parent meeting such as School Advisory Forum (SAF) and PTSA to inform our stakeholders on District Policies, Federal requirements, and school initiatives. We will look at sign-in sheets to get counts on parent attendance and use two-communication through flyers, our school website, our marquee, announcements, and by word of mouth to get parents to come out to the school to partake in events. Walter C. Young Middle School goal is to increase parental involvement in school events to at least 60% for the 2018-2019 school year. All parent involvement activities will include engaging activities that offer opportunities to learn about student achievement and available resources. Currently, we are averaging 50 to 85 parents per parent family engagement event. Our goal is to increase this number to 100 parents per family event.
