Campus Action Plan and PDAS

Campus Action Plan

S.M.A.R.T. Goal (long range,3-5 years): By 2016, Belton Middle School will increase their STAAR Test results percentage to 90% which is an Exemplary Rating.
S.M.A.R.T. Objective (What we can accomplish in one school year): In the next school year Belton Middle School will recognize areas that are scored lower than the Recognized Rating level.  Those areas will be documented and Professional Development will be attended to improve on those areas.  By the STAAR Test in 2014, Belton Middle School will have raised their 6th grade Math scores by 2% to a rating of 82%.  We will break down each area tested and determine those parts of our curriculum is effective and which areas need to have the curriculum needs to be adjusted.  Once we have this information determined, we can look for specific training in those areas needing improvement and use this training in our PDAS for bettering our classroom.
Target Population(s): All 5th grade students, including special education students.
Activity/ Strategy (Include 3)	Person(s) Responsible	Timeline	Resources/Estimated Cost	Formative Evaluation
1.Provide 6th Grade Math Teachers with additional hands-on materials for classroom instruction.	6th Grade Math Teachers and Principal.	September 2013	General Fund $4,500 for both 6th Grade Math Classrooms.  $2,250 per teacher.	Follow up walkthrough’s by Assistant Principals to observe materials are used in all classes. Weekly Math Planning meeting facilitated by Assistant Principal to discuss optional and additional ways to incorporate materials with Core Curriculum.
2. How will Journaling improve my students' STAAR scores?	6th Grade Math Teachers	July 2013	No cost to Campus, District will pay for Instructors of training through district funds. This will be summer PDAS training provided by school district.	Journals and Foldables instruction for Grades 6-8. Teachers will create their own journals to take with them when they leave the training session. Follow up walkthrough’s by Assistant Principals to observe materials are used in all classes. Weekly Math Planning meeting facilitated by Assistant Principal to discuss optional and additional ways to incorporate materials with Core Curriculum.
3. TEKSas Target Wall for Grades 6-8	6th Math Teachers	July 2013	No cost to campus.  District will pay for Instructors through district funds. This will be summer PDAS training provided by school district.	TEKSas Target Practice™ is a supplemental math bulletin board program aligned to the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) and provides review for TEKS-Based Assessment (STAAR). Color-coding allows for a ten-day rotation schedule and makes exercises visually clear for students. The program’s organization makes teacher effort minimal. Texas teachers thoroughly familiar with the demands of the classroom created TEKSas Target Practice™. It is one of the most effective math preparation programs for TEKS-Based Assessment available today. Teachers will learn delivery methods, varied differentiations for both whole group and independent practice, and how it can be correlated with our BISD current math units of study.

Summative Evaluation: Use the “objective” as evaluation statement. (This allows you to determine if you achieved what you said you would achieve in one school year.)

Summative Evaluation statement: By the end of the next school year Belton Middle School will monitor and collect the STAAR test scores aligned with the Common Assessment scores to recognize an increase of the STAAR Test scores.  By the STAAR Test in 2014, Belton Middle School will have raised their 6th grade Math scores by 2% to a rating of 82%.  We will break down each area tested and determine how those parts of our curriculum were affected and not affected by the additional training and supplies offered to the6th Grade Math Teachers.  Once we have this information determined, we can look for additional specific training in those areas not affected to our specific increase of STAAR Test scores. Professional Development Agenda Action Plan Goal (same as in action plan): 6th Grade Math Teachers will learn new concept of teaching from Flipped Learning Workshop. Action Plan Objective (same as in action plan): By end of 2013/2014 school year 6th grade Math teachers will develop and begin incorporating the Flipped Classroom learning into the 6th Grade Classroom to assist with improving the STAAR test scores through more rigorous learning.  Topic of professional development: 6th Grade Math Instruction Subtopics (if applicable): Developing new classroom instruction for more rigorous learning by students. Grade Level: 6th Grade Math Facilitator: Math Facilitator, Assistant Principal, 6th Grade Math Teachers Location: BISD Administration Start Time: 8:30 a.m. End-Time: 3:30 p.m. Strategy/ Activity Purpose Description Steps Estimated Time Flipped Classroom Instruction Middle school and high school teachers will have the opportunity to devise a flipped content lesson while experiencing flipped learning in the workshop environment. Tech support and teachers who have successfully flipped lessons will be on hand to help teachers navigate this new learning strategy. 6th Grade Math Teachers will Learn and review that process of developing Flipped Classroom Instruction.  Teachers will listen to the experiences of teachers using the Flipped classroom instruction.  Teachers will then create and develop ideas using the current curriculum for implementation towards the following school year. 8 hrs Professional Development Follow-up Explain in a paragraph how you would follow up your professional development agenda to insure successful implementation of the strategies/program/activities. Include the strategy/activity and a timeline.  Remember that effective professional development is not a one time event. As a principal I would have my 6th grade math teachers spend the beginning months working together to develop ideas and instruction for the Flipped Classroom Instruction using the current curriculum at BISD for the Spring Semester of school.  I would have them report once weekly with status updates of what instruction will be used and how.  By the end of the Fall Semester I will have my 6th grade Math teachers begin using the Flipped Classroom Instruction with a small sample group of students.  The number of students will be up to 10 students per teacher.  Parents will be asked for permission and letters will be asked to be signed for the sample of students involved.  A running record will be kept for both teachers with daily grades and Common Assessment scores throughout the Spring Semester.   With the results being finalized at the end of the school year, 6th Grade Math teachers will be developing Flipped Classroom Instruction for the following school year and this will be implemented to all students in 6th Grade for Belton Middle School.
