Third Grade students demonstrated a 39% proficiency  in ELA and 46% proficiency in mathematics on the 2018 FSA. The school maintained it's letter grade of a "C".

Administration provided a powerpoint presentation that captured 2017-18 academic data and conducted a faculty meeting to share the results.  Information was shared with the staff in regards to interventions an programs that would be implemented with fidelity with on-going professional development.  Teachers were invited to create grade level curriculum plans prior to the opening of the 2017-18 school year.  Title One parent surveys are distributed to papers and made available via the school's website.  In addition, Administration seeks feedback from all faculty and staff during the last quarter of the school year in regards to their areas of strength and suggestions for improvement as an Instructional Leader.

ATTRACT HIGH-QUALITY, HIGHLY QUALIFIED TEACHERS to the school.
Describe strategies that will be used to attract high-quality, highly qualified teachers.

Through the use of the district's website, applictrack,  teacher-teachers, by personal recommendation, interview and references highly qualified teachers will be recruited to our school. When teachers are interviewed, they are asked to write to describe ways that they exceed expectations in education as well as provide demonstrations of lessons that exceed expectations in terms of meeting the standards.

All new teachers complete the District’s induction program, New Educator Support System (NESS). The NESS Program takes one year to complete and is a school-site program. Each new teacher is provided a support team consisting of the NESS Liaison school contact, a qualified mentor and an Administrator. Ideally, the mentor teaches the same grade or subject as the new teacher. School based NESS Liaison will coordinate Professional Learning Communities to enhance and support the new teacher's learning.

Title I, Part A
Title I funds provide additional teachers to assist students, particularly low performing students.

Title I is a federally funded program for economically disadvantaged children who reside in school attendance areas with a high concentration of children from low income families. There will be training for all teachers and administration to address academic achievement problems and concerns. Funds from Title I professional development will be allocated for these activities.
The Reading and Mathematics Coach will be utilized to provide professional development to teachers. Professional development will include Lesson Study, PLCs, curriculum planning and RTI. Funds from Title I professional development will be allocated for these activities. Parent activities, workshops, and seminars will be planned to assist parents in helping their child improve his/her academic and social performance. Title I parent involvement funds will be allocated for these activities. Parents are invited to the annual Title I meeting by flyers that are sent home, telephone parent link announcement, postings on the school marquee, and on the school website. The Title I annual meeting date and time is communicated to the community during the Open House.

Pre-School Transition

Endeavour Primary Learning Center offers three Specialized Pre-Kindergarten classes and one Head Start class. The teachers conduct vertical articulation meetings during the school year to ensure that the transition from the early childhood programs to kindergarten program is smooth. A Kindergarten Orientation is also held prior to the beginning of the school year. This gives the incoming Kindergarten students an opportunity to meet their new teacher and get acclimated to their classroom. Additionally, parents are given an overview of the kindergarten curriculum and expectations.

Parent Involvement Goal:
Based on the analysis of the parent involvement data, identify and define an area in need of improvement.

The Parent Involvement Goal is to increase parental involvement by 30%. We will conduct a recruitment at the annual public meeting whereby parents will be invited and encouraged to become active members of the School Advisory Council (SAC), School Advisory Forum (SAF), and Parent Teacher Association (PTA). Parents will be allowed to provide input in the development and decision-­ making process of all Title I activities related to the school. An annual evaluation will be conducted using surveys completed by parents, staff, and students. Results will be analyzed to evaluate the effectiveness of the school's parent involvement program. Parents will be involved in the reviewing, developing, and revising Endeavour's Parent Involvement Program.
