1 SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT PLANNING The school year will be the beginning of a new five year cycle regarding the AdvancED accreditation and school improvement planning (SIP) process. This past year, District and building level educational goals, as well as all programs and services were evaluated both internally and externally regarding school accountability. The District has been notified by AdvancED and the ISBE that all schools have again achieved full recognition and accreditation status. Plans are underway to implement the District s continuous school improvement planning regarding teaching & learning. The AdvancED process is student and data driven and allows for the District to guide students to show growth both academically and socially. To achieve accreditation, schools must meet AdvancED s seven (7) quality standards, be evaluated by a team of professionals from outside the school, and engage in continuous school improvement focused on increasing student performance. The seven quality standards are: 1) Vision & Purpose; 2) Governance and Leadership; 3) Teaching and Learning; 4) Documenting and Using Results; 5) Resources and Support Systems; 6) Stakeholder Communication and Relationships; and 7) Commitment to Continuous Improvement. The District has and will continue to develop strategies to capitalize on our strengths as well as to address areas to improve. Since the plans inception, the District has planned, organized, and implemented strategies for improvement. The following illustrates various educational goals and indicators of meeting the goal during the school year: = Indicator of Meeting Goal I. The Learning Environment A. Evaluate the EXPLORE, FACS & IT curriculum and programs at SMS & SHS. The Middle and High School SIP teams studied current offerings and compared programs with other districts. The High School examined options to implement intergovernmental agreements with other school districts to maximize curriculum offerings such as IT courses. SIP teams continue to study methods to modernize the program and curriculum. Discussion occurs between SMS & SHS regarding sharing certified staff to deliver the curriculum between schools. The SMS & SHS administration presented information during BOE meetings. Programming has been reviewed and researched to enhance enrollment. The HS continues to work with Waubonsee CC to enhance dual credit offerings. The administration surveyed parents and students regarding the program and curriculum. The District attends annual meetings with Waubonsee CC to continue dialog with offerings for dual credit, scholarships, Plano Campus offerings and any advantages for the High School to utilize what Waubonsee has to offer its surrounding High Schools. Students have the option to attend WCC during the day to take college level courses. B. Evaluate the middle school concept and its effectiveness on teaching and learning. The administration presented the concept during communication night and evaluated input from participants. The SMS staff & administration presented information during a BOE meeting to share thoughts and recommendations of the concept.

Develop action plans for students in the "does not meet" and "academic warning" categories of ISAT/PSAE assessments; and action plans to meet at or above state ACT benchmarks. The staff and administration SIP teams review data to capitalize on strengths and address gaps in the curriculum. The administration and staff plans and schedules numerous interventions to address those students in need. SIP teams are planning to add additional EXPLORE & PLAN tests to better place students in high school classes as well as to measure student growth i.e. administer the EXPLORE test to all 8 th graders in the fall; then again in the fall of their freshman year to measure growth. Administer the PLAN test during the spring of their freshmen year and again during the fall of their sophomore year to measure growth. Administer a practice ACT test the spring of their sophomore year and again during the fall of their junior year to measure growth. Continue to assess all students especially at the elementary level using MAP, Lexile, Aimsweb, etc. to provide interventions before the State tests to help struggling students. Implemented options to improve vertical and horizontal articulation such as release time during the day; and the use of SIP days. Examining the use of additional K-12 common assessments to measure student growth and provide longitudinal data. II. Evaluation and Accountability A.
