Arp Junior High Improvement Plan 2003_04

 

Mission Statement of Arp Junior High School:

The mission of Arp Jr. High School is to strive for a smooth transition between elementary and the upper grade levels.  It is our desire to create a nurturing learning environment where students, faculty, and community work together to develop academic excellence, ethical behavior, and personal responsibility.

 

Executive Summary:

Arp Junior High School’s Site-base committee, Principal and staff work closely with district counselors, and Curriculum Director to interpret and communicate individual student assessment related to TAKS scores, STAR (Standard Test for Assessment of Reading) YEA/EOC, and district Benchmark scores. To facilitate sound instructional decision-making, the data is analyzed by student characteristic (i.e. by program, ethnicity and gender, and by evaluating the objectives on which the students scored the lowest for each core subject). Arp Jr. High School uses this data to identify struggling subgroups and to direct instructional resources to improve student achievement via the district’s three level TIER Program. For example, identified students who score below mastery on each core subject’s YEA are referred to level one of the TIER, and parents are notified of academic difficulties.  Students who are identified to level two of the TIER will receive accelerated instruction utilizing computer software, individualized instruction, and peer tutoring.  Students placed in TIER 3 will be required to attend after-school tutorials to target specific objectives.  FTE funding will be applied to the after-school program.  Sixty percent of our students need improvement in the areas of Reading and Math.  An activity period has been created to allow teachers extra time to work with students on specific TAKS objectives.

 

Each faculty member strives toward excellence in education.  As a result, each teacher has the opportunity to receive an incentive of up to $1000 award per year.  Educators are encouraged by the district to maintain the highest level of professionalism.

 

  • Gifted and Talented: 

Arp Junior High’s Gifted and Talented Program consists of enrichment and acceleration in each class.  GT students enjoy the opportunity for individualized learning through project based curriculum. 

 


  • Dyslexia:

The Junior High faculty continues working toward identifying and assisting dyslexic students in their pursuit of education.  These students work closely with trained staff on campus to develop skills necessary to function in the regular classroom.

 

  • Special Education:

The Special Education Program at Arp Junior High allows students to be serviced in the Least Restrictive Environment (LRE).  Arp Junior High utilizes inclusion with special services in the resource room.

 

·        ESL:

The Junior High faculty continues working toward assisting ESL students in their pursuit of education while gaining a command of the English language.  These students work with trained staff on campus to develop skills necessary to function in the regular classroom.

 

 

 

 

---

This executive summary is a dynamic document that enables the entire Arp Junior High community to maintain its focus on providing the best education possible for all children.

 

 

Arp Jr. High School is composed of one campus containing 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students.  Class size is reduced in an attempt to provide an environment conducive to learning.  It is our goal that by 2005-2006 all teachers in core subjects will be “highly qualified” as defined by the state of Texas.  Aides and paraprofessionals will meet the qualifications of having an AA degree, 2 years of college, or having passed a state test.  Our faculty receives technology training in various areas.  It is our desire that each teacher feel competent in these basic areas:

  • Desktop Publishing
  • Word Processing
  • Spreadsheets
  • Databases
  • Multimedia Presentations
  • Internet strategies
  • Telecommunications

An assortment of rubrics are used to evaluate student projects.  As we, the faculty, strive to better ourselves, we recognize the role that technology plays in our everyday lives and in the futures of our students.  Therefore we endeavor to assist students in gaining technological skills, thus preparing them for future careers.  Assistance is offered to any faculty or staff member who desires to learn more about a particular technology.  Surveys of teacher technology need are taken, and in-service time is allotted for such instruction.

 

Arp Junior High understands that parental involvement is important.  Annually we invite the public to Open House during the fall.  Our teachers correspond with parents/guardians via email and telephone.  Progress reports are sent during the 3rd week of each six weeks.  Students with an average of 75 or less in a subject will receive a progress report for that subject.  It is our desire to develop a newsletter to keep parents informed of general information and upcoming events. 

 

Various funds are utilized on our campus.  These programs support student mastery of TAKS objectives.  They may be utilized as a specific class lesson, remediation for specific areas, reinforcement of skills, or enrichment activities.  Focus will be placed on students who did not pass the 2002-2003 TAKS Test, although all students can benefit from these services.  Among these funding sources are:

  • Title I
  • Light Span - Core Subject Areas
  • TDS3 - Core Subject Areas TAKS formative & summative evaluation practices, tests, and tracking
  • Edutest - Core Subject Area Benchmark testing
  • Compensatory Funds
  • FTE’s
  • CLASS Server - Teacher Created Materials & benchmarks

 

 

Philosophy of Learning:

 

The philosophy of Arp Junior High faculty and staff is to provide an education which encourages each student to strive to reach their full potential.  It is our desire to see these students grow not only intellectually, but also socially and morally. 

 

The transition into adulthood is strengthened as students gain problem-solving and higher-order thinking skills.  Students at all levels, whether gifted, average, or remediated, are offered opportunities to excel in education.

 

Educators seek to blend student interests by integrating real-world scenarios into the curriculum guiding students to realize the value of what they are learning.  By modeling continued education via staff development, workshops, and seminars, educators exhibit the importance of being a life-long learner. 

 

Faculty and staff emphasize the importance of becoming productive citizens in a democratic society.   Respect for self, respect for others and respect for our American Heritage are basic themes woven throughout the curriculum. 

 

As we create a community of learners, we at Arp Junior High recognize that our educational environment extends beyond the classroom.  Engaging the greater community as active participants in the educational process provides diverse experiences from which our students may gain knowledge.
