CIP Updates September 17, 2013
System Success = Student Success • Ensure that teachers aren't receiving conflicting signals about what they are supposed to be doing. • When the task is vague but expectations are specific, we are expecting students/teachers to do the right thing without knowing what it is. • Schools don't need more things to do. They need to do less with greater focus.
First Who…Then What If we get the right people on the bus, the right people in the right seats, and the wrong people off the bus, then we’ll figure out how to take it someplace great. Core Content Teachers Counselor, Special Ed Parents, Students, Community Planners, Motivators Principal, Asst Principal
District-Wide Reading Goals “Non-negotiables” • Goal 1 - Improve Literacy in All Content Areas • Strategic Teaching • TEACH THE STANDARDS! • Increased Complexity in Reading and Writing (All Content Areas) • Address Student Needs • Add Honors/AP Courses • ARI Schools (may add strategy)
District-Wide Math Goals “Non-negotiables” • Goal 2 - Improve Math Proficiency • Strategic Teaching • Longitudinal Data • AMSTI Schools (may add strategy)
Increase the percent of qualifying AP Literature scores from ___% to ___% during the 2013– 2014 school year. SmartGoals
Strategies: All teachers and administrators All teachers and administrators What will we do in order to achieve the goal we have set? Many plans only involved intervention teachers and math and reading teachers Many plans were written by just a few people rather than guided by a leadership team who gained whole faculty input • What needs to be done in core instruction to ensure that fewer students in the future will need intervention? • What can general math and reading teachers as well as non core teachers do to help? • Can these weaknesses be addressed in other content areas also?
Strategy and Action StepReminders Effective Strategies and Action steps: • Are measurable • Include but are not solely centered around remediation/intervention • Address core instruction • Require evidence that is observable in a classroom, not just found in a box • Involve more than just Math and Language Arts teachers
Teachers are trained Dept. select 2 objectives Teachers implement Teachers assess the objectives Teachers discuss data and use it to drive instruction
So….When’s It Due? October 11
General CIP requirements for schools (not necessarily in an evidence box): • KISS - Keep it simple….. • Principal Summary Forms (PSFs) - in school box. • CIP (and amendments) - in school box. • CIP on website. • Principal(s) is ensuring teachers are creating lessons plans that reflect the COS/CCRS. • Specific documentation, as mentioned in each school's CIP (in school box). • Secondary Schools - Syllabus (with COS/CCRS/EOCT correlations strongly suggested). Syllabus should be posted on teacher's website.
General CIP requirements for schools (cont.)…. • Intervention strategies (as mentioned in school's CIP). • Evidence of student work/teacher lessons. • Only TWO GOALS: Math and Literacy (for all content areas).

Walkthrough Forms • Online Form: https://docs.google.com/a/ecboe.org/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dDhaUk02U0U1SW1XZXktVGtsanc0S2c6MA#gid=0 • Graph Data Analysis • Sharing forms
Suggestions • Kill two birds - Utilize RtI data for math and reading goals (STAR Enterprise and SuccessMaker data) • Have teachers print out lesson plans and leave on desk. If using lesson plans book, those are completely acceptable as well, as long as they are easily accessible to visitors. • Prepare tentative schedule for CIP walkthrough (list of teachers and general time frames). Give visitor a copy.
