 * Additional Data Sources: **

Strengths:
 * School Technology Plan was listed as a strength - do we want to include this again. Please read over what was put there and see if we have updated this and can continue to list as a strength. Most all computers had a ram upgrade and those that could not be upgraded were replaced (24 new computers were purchased to replace older ones). All regular classrooms have LCD projects and soon all will have document cameras.
 * Alabama Alternate Assessment - two students participated and both scored proficient.

Weaknesses:
 * The first two weaknesses listed last year have been addressed and remedied.
 * Weakness 3 continues to be an issue
 * Weakness 4 improved (see strength listed above)
 * Weakness 5 continues to be an issue

Student Demographic Data for attendance & discipline - will pull that information

School Demographic Data relating to teachers - Strengths Continue to remain the same

School Perception Information - see what you think needs to be added or changed

ELLS - same information as listed

Other School Process information uncovered by analysis of curriculum alignment, instructional materials, instructional strategies, reform strategies, and/or extended learning opportunities:

Please review the following strengths and weakness and make suggestions for adding, deleting, or changing:

Strengths:
 * Grade levels developed common grading parameters in math.
 * Crestline offers an Extended Day Program for working parents; homework help as well as enrichment activities are offered.
 * Foster Grandparent - no longer applicable
 * All 2nd grade students receive enrichment instruction from the teacher in gifted education ( can added he offers consultative services to all teachers )
 * Math, Language, and Writing Teams have been established to strengthen the curriculum alignment between grade levels ( can add met regularly, put something about writing team common lesson plans, add something about leadership team and faculty book study ) - Any other suggestions?
 * Grade Level Learning Teams meet on a regular basis.

Weaknesses- Do you want to keep all the same? Suggestions, comments, etc

What Areas do we want to list?
Goals:

1. Math ARMT - Students in grades three, four, and five will increase in the Mean Percent Correct in the following strands:
 * 3rd -
 * Recognize data as categorical or numerical. 65% to 67%
 * Measure length in metric units. 70% to 72%


 * 4th -
 * Rename improper fractions as mixed numbers and mixed numbers as improper fractions. 37% to 40%
 * Recognize equivalent forms of fractions & decimals. 50% to 51%
 * Add and subtract 4-digit numbers with & without regrouping. 50% to 53%


 * 5th -
 * Analyze data from a survey or experiment. 57% to 58%
 * Write number sentence for a problem expressed in words. 65% to 66%

After listing the areas - we need to develop strategies. Suggestions:


 * 3rd - Recognize data- continue to use daily data
 * 4th/5th - Continue to align the curriculum by implementing daily data.Math team will develop a plan incorporating daily data for each grade level for each 9 weeks.

Curriculum Alignment: An area that we did not accomplish much last year - do we want to try again this year? Any addition or different suggestions? Links on web site - each teacher will keep website up to date. Math family night, change to day meetings. Math newsletter
 * Develop basic vocabulary for and steps for regrouping in addition and subtraction that will be used in grades K - 5. Math team will develop vocabulary.
 * Explicit Instruction:
 * Do we want to continue this strategy with new areas of focus? Develop common steps/strategies to teach place value that can be differentiated for each grade level.
 * Action Steps - Shared Grade Level Lesson and Practice Activities and Classworks - can these action steps be continued? Grade level lessons for place value, will use common chart amd worksheets.
 * Parent Communication:
 * Parent Communication:

Can we continue this as written? yes
 * Improve Basic Computation Skills


 * Math Fix Up Day - with RtI and small group differentiated instruction - do we need to continue this? Do we want to say something about our RtI process instead? Change to include RTI

2. Science - with it now counting for AYP - do we need to add this as a goal? If so suggestions for Strategies and Action Steps are needed. Alignment of curriculum- common assesment?, Science team to look at alignment based on ASA- to find assessments for each grade level.

ELL Goals - Can keep as written unless you feel changes are needed. Made AYP

Part IV - Strategies to Address School Safety & Classroom Management


 * Do we keep the Bully Prevention Plan - what do we need to do to help develop this more? Do we need more faculty focus on this? Continure to work on this plan.
 * This would be a great place to add the faculty book study of Seven Simple Secrets Seven Simple Secrets
 * This would also be a place to address the new schoolwide rules that were developed last January. School Wide Rules

Look at Part VII - Professional Learning

Classworks - Do we need continued training? yes RtI - Do we need additional training? Seven Simple Secrets - Faculty Bookstudy Bullying Prevention - Do we need more training?
