4 Introduction The process of Improvement Planning in Kentucky is used as the means of determining how schools and districts will plan to ensure that students reach proficiency and beyond by The process focuses school and district improvement efforts on student needs by bringing together all stakeholders to plan for improvement, by focusing planning efforts on priority needs and closing achievement gaps between subgroups of students, by building upon school and district capacity for high quality planning, and by making connections between the funds that flow into the district and the priority needs in schools. Your school's plans for improvement must be based on careful and honest analysis of data, address all content areas, and clearly address gaps in student achievement. SY Page 1

5 Executive Summary SY Page 2

6 Introduction Every school has its own story to tell. The context in which teaching and learning takes place influences the processes and procedures by which the school makes decisions around curriculum, instruction, and assessment. The context also impacts the way a school stays faithful to its vision. Many factors contribute to the overall narrative such as an identification of stakeholders, a description of stakeholder engagement, the trends and issues affecting the school, and the kinds of programs and services that a school implements to support student learning. The purpose of the Executive Summary (ES) is to provide a school with an opportunity to describe in narrative form the strengths and challenges it encounters. By doing so, the public and members of the school community will have a more complete picture of how the school perceives itself and the process of self-reflection for continuous improvement. This summary is structured for the school to reflect on how it provides teaching and learning on a day to day basis. SY Page 3

7 Description of the School Describe the school's size, community/communities, location, and changes it has experienced in the last three years. Include demographic information about the students, staff, and community at large. What unique features and challenges are associated with the community/communities the school serves? Churchill Park is located near the University of Louisville and Churchill Down. The school has 110 staff members and 177 students. Churchill Park's FMD (Functional Mental Disabilities) serves students (ages 5 to 21) who have moderate to severe disabilities and who need a specialized program that is more flexible than what is available in other JCPS settings. Many students have medical needs requiring a nurse to be on site. Students receive instruction based on core content with adaptations to meet individual needs as specified on Individual Education (IEPs). In addition, the FMD program offers students an adaptive program that emphasizes functional life skills. We offer Community-based Instruction (CBI), Occupational Work Experience (OWE), enriching field trips, a sensory room, therapeutic swimming pool, bowling alley, adapted bicycles, scouting, Special Olympics, basketball, and a new adaptive playground. We also offer a variety of realted arts classes including art, music, art/music, life skills, computer lab, gym, swimming, and bowling. We also host a variety of community social events and dances. Our Early Childhood, which provides services for 3- and 4- year old students under KERA guidelines, consists of Head Start, Prekindergarten, Jumpstart, and ECE classrooms. Students are enrolled in the Early Childhood based upon income eligibility or identification of a disability. SY Page 4

8 School's Purpose Provide the school's purpose statement and ancillary content such as mission, vision, values, and/or beliefs. Describe how the school embodies its purpose through its program offerings and expectations for students. Churchill Park's purpose is to educate our students in the areas of academics, functional life skills, IEP goal attainment, and successful transition to the community in a supportive and nurturing environment. We will provide students with moderate to severe disabilities the highest-quality education in manner that responds to the individual needs of each student. At Churchill Park we: Respect every person Believe every student can learn Strive to ensure all students have a known communication system that is used daily Collaborate with all stakeholders to support student achievement Communicate daily with our families and caregivers Provide exceptional care for medically fragile students Ensure a safe learning environment for all students SY Page 5

9 Notable Achievements and Areas of Improvement Describe the school's notable achievements and areas of improvement in the last three years. Additionally, describe areas for improvement that the school is striving to achieve in the next three years. In the last two years Churchill Park has improved technology by putting SMARTBoards and ipads in every classroom. We have implemented weekly imbedded PLCs to help create a more cohesive plan for improving instruction our school. The Instructional Leadership Team has worked on setting school policy that focus over all academic achievement, student placement and curriculum alignment. We are working to improve the individual communication systems of all of our students, in our school, in the community and in their homes. Churchill Park is working hard to systematically analyze function of student behavior and create holistic plans that follow students to all areas of their life. SY Page 6

10 Additional Information Provide any additional information you would like to share with the public and community that were not prompted in the previous sections. Churchill Park works with the Council of Developmental Disabilities to bring in venders and other community members for a informative Family Fun Festival, for our students and other people in the community. We host students from Bellarmine, University of Louisville, Assumption High School and Sigma Chi Fraternity for student service learning. We collaborate with Home of the Innocents to coordinate student services. SY Page 7

11 KDE Needs Assessment SY Page 8

12 Introduction The purpose of the School Needs Assessment is to use data and information to prioritize allocation of resources and activities. SY Page 9

13 Data Analysis What question(s) are you trying to answer with the data and information provided to you? What does the data/information tell you? What does the data/information not tell you? Based on review of Kentucky Alternate K-PREP Gap Results, Churchill Park needs to decrease novice tests scores in reading and math across age groups. The data does not reflect to strengths of students outside of testing. SY Page 10

14 Areas of Strengths What were the areas of strength you noted? What actions are you implementing to sustain the areas of strength? What is there cause to celebrate? Churchill Park has a plan to align our curriculum with K-PREP. We had put technology in every classroom and worked towards improving the communication systems of our students. We continue to work on professional development by creating Professional Learning Communities, specific training in staff meeting, and information trainings. In relation to our Alternate K-PREP scores for the 2011/2012 school year, our schools strengths are in high school writing, with 8.3% proficiency, high school reading, with 14.3% proficiency, and high school science with 14.3% proficiency. SY Page 11

15 Opportunities for Improvement What were areas in need of improvement? What plans are you making to improve the areas of need? Test scores are an area of need. Churchill Park will implement Professional Learning Communities with the purpose of collaborating on core content and teaching strategies. We will also monitor professional development as it relates to the Alternate K-PREP. Another area of need is to assess the Least Restrictive Environment for all students attending CHP. We will address the LRE at every IEP meeting and provide resources to the parents of community resources for parents and students that include information on guardianship, transition programs and placement. We will also provide students with access to same age peers through a variety of technology methods, as well as, through community based instruction. Alternate K-PREP scores are an area for improvement for Churchill Park, elementary and middle schools scored 0% in the proficient/distinguished category for reading, math, science, writing and social studies. In high school 85% of students scored in the novice/apprentice range in reading, math science, social studies and writing.. SY Page 12

16 Conclusion Reflect on your answers provided in the previous sections. What are your next steps in addressing areas of concern? We will create PLCs, provide professional development and enhance the use of technology in the classrooms. Overall Churchill Park needs to improve proficient/distinguished scores on Alternate K-PREP and lower novice in the areas of reading, math, science, social studies, and writing. SY Page 13
