2 Region V Differentiated Accountability Team and the District. My primary role is to provide direct supervision of schools, principals, instructional specialists and academic coaches at 30 Differentiated Accountability (DA) Schools designated as Priority, Focus or Schools of Concern by the Florida Department of Education (FLDOE). The School Transformation Office (STO) assists school leaders with developing, implementing, and monitoring their School Improvement Plan (SIP) to increase student achievement. The transformation team ensures the SIP is utilized in decision making by all stakeholders. One of the main responsibilities of the School Transformation Office is to assist DA schools in closing the achievement gap. Our department strives to increase the capacity of school leaders within our target schools by incorporating the 5 Essentials: Effective Leaders, Collaborative Teachers, Involved Families, Support Environments, and Ambitious Instruction. The School Transformation Office ensures that data and Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) are used in progress monitoring. STO operates with the belief that if we develop our school leaders, establish schoolwide systems of operation, build teacher capacity, use data to drive decisions, provide job embedded professional development, and monitor the fidelity of implementation of the School Improvement Plan, then there will be a positive increase in student performance and the achievement gap will close. Community engagement and involvement has been a staple of my success as a principal and district leader. During my last principalship the School Justice Partnership was created; as a system of wrap around services that included on-site behavioral management specialists, juvenile justice probation officers and family and child counseling services significantly decreased the amount of students placed in the school-to-prison pipeline. To enact this change, it was imperative to forge partnerships with the sheriff s office, Department of Juvenile Justice, local politicians and judges, non-profit and civic organizations and most important parent associations and groups prior to any volatile situations arising. Actively engaging and gaining the trust of the community, as a leader is an essential part of effective leadership. Instructional capacity development in the most critical schools; Differentiated Accountability (DA) Schools designated as Priority, Focus or Schools of Concern by the Florida Department of Education (FLDOE). We are committed to restructuring the district to create a designated Area(s) for DA Schools thereby creating STO autonomy. The Transformation team has the ability to support DA schools and provide the differentiation and structures necessary to improve the most diverse and challenging schools in order to increase student achievement at an accelerated rate. The plan is to build capacity through the establishment of Professional Learning Communities (PLC s), assisting in the creation of the District Improvement and Assistance Plan (DIAP), facilitation of the Consultancy Protocol and 8-Step Problem Solving Process for all DA schools as part of the Instructional Review Process, and working with District schools to operationalize and optimize the School Improvement Plan (SIP). Lastly, STO II will be facilitated on-going instructional coaching academy for school improvement. Through the on-going support of the coaching academy the intention is to provide the school-based coaches with the knowledge and instructional strategies necessary to accelerate learning through explicit and aligned instruction. It is essential that teachers are prepared to provide the explicit instruction and rigorous and aligned application that struggling readers and low-performing students need in order to make the catch-up growth necessary to compete with their peers and become college and career ready.
