  • Title I School Wide -- Incorporate the requirements of a Schoolwide Plan as cited in P.L. 107-110, Section 1114(b)

  • Clearly incorporate the Ten Components of a School wide Program (No Child Left Behind)...Embed these throughout your plan...

    1. Comprehensive Needs Assessment -- data, student & parent surveys on group of issues, teacher surveys, district initiatives, facilities, supplies

    2. Schoolwide Reform Strategies -- new initiatives (writing, reading, research, assessment policies) Tier I, II, III Guidelines

    3. Instruction by Highly Qualified Teachers -- say how you go about making sure your teachers are highly qualified -- INCLUDE a New Staff Develpment Plan to bring teachers up to speed on Technology Competencies:

    4. Ongoing Professional Development in scientifically-based programs (TEA Website)

    5. Strategies to attract highly qualified teachers -- putting your best teachers with the high needs kids

    6. Strategies to increase parent involvement

    7. Pre-school transition -- transition activities for parents and students (parent night, meet the teacher, introduce Pre-K to Kindergarten teacher, etc.)

    8. Including teachers in the decisions in the use of academic assessments (teachers using benchmarks, data desegregation, determine testing materials, and determining where you need to go with the results -- what instruction will be implemented at each TIER.

    9. Timely additional assistance for students who are having difficulty meeting the TAKS or Adequate Yearly Progress -- tutorials, at-risk of not passing -- additional assistance?  What? Where? When? Who? and for How long?

    10. Coordination of local, state, and federal funds -- look to see if strategies can be funded from more than one funding source (STRATEGIES -- Title I, Title II, Title IV, Spec Ed, AR, State Compensatory Funds, STAFF DEVELOPMENT -- Titles I, II Part D, IV, VI, AR, State Compensatory Funds, Sp Ed.  PARENT ACTIVITIES -- local funds)

    NOTE: No Child Left Behind government publication -- Public Law 107-110 -- Jan 8, 2002  115 STAT. 1425 ~$50)

    Requires that your Campus Plan Describe the following:

  • How the school will use Title 1, Part A resources and other sources to implement a schoolwide program of NCLB

  • Include a list of state and federal programs whose funds will be combined to implement a schoolwide program

    Describe how the intent and purposes of the federal programs whose funds are combined on a schoolwide campus are met; and

  • include sufficient activities to address the needs of the intended beneficiaries of the federal programs whose funds are combined for upgrading the entire educational program.

  • State goals

  • National goals

  • Effective School Correlates

  • Hot Topics and New Campus Initiatives

  Use Indicators (Measurable-- current scores available in Appendix)

  • TAKS (Performance Scores are reported here)

  • Include Special Ed Scores

  • Include Special Programs improvement plans here

  • At-Risk = Comp Ed, and SSI (Successful School Initiative for NCLB)

  • Identify Specific Indicators and Group Indicators by Goals which require improvement (look at your AEIS IT!)

  Strategies (How the PLAN will be implemented)  Each Goal will have multiple strategies to accomplish it

  • Create a Staff Development Plan for your Campus.

  • Assessment Policies  http://www.arp.sprnet.org/curric/Instr_Assess/testing.htm

  • Character Education

  • Technology Integration & Project-based Curriculum

  • Standards for TPRI on "developing" and "still developing"  K-3rd 3 out of 5 at mid year to 3 out of 4 at end of year and fluency levels

  • Career Investigations

  • Who are the leaders and accountable people?

  • Brief Description of their jobs

  • Evaluations

    • Formative (usually short, frequent assessments to allow corrective action -- benchmarks, STAR, TPRI ISTATION, etc.)

    • Summative (end results and often drives a new cycle of planning for the next school year -- TAKS & EOC)

    • Annual Yearly Progress -- If you do not meet this criteria for two years in a row = School Is LOW PERFORMING

    • Remember that CHANGE is a PROCESS not an EVENT -- it will take 3 years on an average Elementary Campus to see the results of change, 5 years on H.S. campus and 8 years district-wide.  We must plan for the FUTURE realistically, but aggressively!

  • Resources (people, programs, software, hardware,  materials)

  • Source of Funds & Budgeted Amounts

  • FTEs (Full Time Equivalents for Staff and Costs Involved) MUST STATE Comp Ed FTEs and Title FTEs

  • Timeline

    • Specific Activity
