The Florida Department of Education (FDOE) SIP template meets all statutory and rule requirements for traditional public schools and incorporates all components required for schools receiving Title I funds, as marked by citations to the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act of 2001. This template is required by State Board of Education Rule 6A-1.099811, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.), for all non-charter schools with a current grade of D or F, or with a grade of F within the prior two years. For all other schools, the district may use a template of its choosing. All districts must submit annual assurances that their plans meet statutory requirements. This document was prepared by school and district leadership using the FDOE's school improvement planning web application located at https://www.flsiponline.com. Sections marked N/A by the user and any performance data representing fewer than 10 students or educators have been excluded from this document.

Purpose and Outline of the SIP The SIP is intended to be the primary artifact used by every school with stakeholders to review data, set goals, create an action plan and monitor progress. A corollary at the district level is the District Improvement and Assistance Plan (DIAP), designed to help district leadership make the necessary connections between school and district goals in order to align resources. The Florida Department of Education encourages schools to use the SIP as a living document by continually updating, refining and using the plan to guide their work throughout the year. This printed version represents the SIP as of the Date Modified listed in the footer. Part I: Current School Status Part I summarizes school leadership, staff qualifications and strategies for recruiting, mentoring and retaining strong teachers. The school s Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) is described in detail to show how data is used by stakeholders to understand the needs of all students and allocate appropriate resources in proportion to those needs. The school also summarizes its efforts in a few specific areas, such as its use of increased learning time and strategies to support literacy, preschool transition and college and career readiness. Part II: Expected Improvements Part II outlines school performance data in the prior year and sets numeric targets for the coming year in ten areas: 1. Reading 2. Writing 3. Mathematics 4. Science 5. Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) 6. Career and Technical Education (CTE) 7. Social Studies 8. Early Warning Systems (EWS) 9. Parental Involvement 10. Other areas of concern to the school With this overview of the current state of the school in mind and the outcomes they hope to achieve, the planning team engages in an 8-Step Planning and Problem-Solving Process, through which they define and refine their goals (Step 1), identify and prioritize problems (barriers) keeping them from reaching those goals (Steps 2-3), design a plan to help them implement strategies to resolve those barriers (Steps 4-7), and determine how they will monitor progress toward each goal (Step 8). Part III: Coordination and Integration Part III is required for Title I schools and describes how federal, state and local funds are coordinated and integrated to ensure student needs are met. Appendix 1: Professional Development Plan to Support Goals Appendix 1 is the professional development plan, which outlines any training or support needed for stakeholders to meet the goals. Appendix 2: Budget to Support Goals Appendix 2 is the budget needed to implement the strategies identified in the plan. Last Modified: 12/05/2013 https://www.flsiponline.com Page 3 of 52
Differentiated Accountability Florida s Differentiated Accountability (DA) system is a statewide network of strategic support, differentiated by need according to performance data, and provided to schools and districts in order to improve leadership capacity, teacher efficacy and student outcomes. DA field teams collaborate with district and school leadership to design, implement and refine school improvement plans, as well as provide instructional coaching, as needed. DA Regions Florida s DA network is divided into five geographical regions, each served by a field team led by a regional executive director (RED). DA Categories Traditional public schools are classified at the start of each school year, based upon the most recently released school grades (A-F), into one of the following categories: Not in DA currently A or B with no F in prior two years; all charter schools; all ungraded schools Monitoring Only currently A or B with at least one F in the prior two years Prevent currently C Focus currently D Year 1 declined to D, or first-time graded schools receiving a D Year 2 second consecutive D, or F followed by a D Year 3 or more third or more consecutive D, or F followed by second consecutive D Priority currently F Year 1 declined to F, or first-time graded schools receiving an F Year 2 or more second or more consecutive F DA Turnaround and Monitoring Statuses Additionally, schools in DA are subject to one or more of the following Turnaround and Monitoring Statuses: Former F currently A-D with at least one F in the prior two years. SIP is monitored by FDOE. Post-Priority Planning currently A-D with an F in the prior year. District is planning for possible turnaround. Planning Focus Year 2 and Priority Year 1.

Teacher mentoring program/plan, including the rationale for pairings and the planned mentoring activities FAMU DRS Beginning Teacher Mentoring Program: The FAMU DRS Beginning Teacher model is based on research showing that professional development programs for Beginning Teachers ( Year 1 Year 3) are most effective when wellplanned, supportive, and competency-based. First-year teachers are introduced to theories, strategies, and practical tools to enhance classroom performance. The training is provided in regularly-scheduled sessions facilitated by veteran teachers and educational consultants. Teacher support is provided by experienced mentors within and outside of the classroom. The objectives of the model is to: Model professionalism for the new teachers. Provide professional growth opportunities. Foster teacher reflection and self-assessment. Familiarize new teachers with district and state initiatives. Retain the most promising teachers. Familiarize new teachers with the district ( and state) evaluation process. The model consist of four major components: professional development; teacher support; teacher evaluation; and program evaluation. Each Beginning Teacher is provided a school-based support team composed of a support team which consist of a program mentor, a subject-area mentor, and an administrator. The program mentor maintains communication among the members of the support team and provides program-related support outside the classroom. The subject-area mentor provides instructional and curriculum support in the new teacher s subject area or grade level. The administrator conducts classroom observations and conferences and recommends interventions when necessary. Mentoring activities also include: Successful, research-based instructional strategies. Best classroom management practices. Teacher resources for subject-area and grade level. District procedures and protocol. Support and encouragement. Beginning teachers receive formative and summative feedback concerning their demonstration of the Educator Competencies and the district approved evaluation plan ( Marzano).
