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. <br><br> 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.

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? Walter Wellborn High School (WWHS) is part of the Calhoun County School System and is located at 135 Pinson Road in Anniston,

Alabama. The community is located just off of Highway 202 and is adjacent to downtown Anniston and Oxford.

WWHS serves approximately 570 students in grades 7-12 and is expected to grow to just over 600 students during the 2014-15 school year.

The school is the hub of the traditionally hardworking, blue-collar community it serves. The demographic data for the school is as follows:

76% Free and Reduced, 79% White, 19% Black, 1% Hispanic, 1% Native American, Asian, and Multi-Race. We currently have 43 students

listed as receiving or have received Gifted Education and 59 students in Special Education.

Over the past three years, WWHS has gone from a school needing improvement to consecutively making AYP per No Child Left Behind

standards. Additionally, the graduation rate has increased and is expected to continue to increase due to our Career Technical offerings and

flexibility as well as the implementation of the IS2 Waiver, Plan 2016, ICU, PASS, and other Learning Supports. Students at WWHS have

also experienced changes in the curriculum offered. At present, a new Spanish teacher has been hired to teach students via the traditional

classroom model versus students taking Spanish online (a method that has resulted in diminished student participation in foreign language).

Currently, all science teachers are AMSTI trained and use the AMSTI program. WWHS runs a modified block schedule, and the modified

block schedule has proven beneficial in that we have been able to run a remediation/enrichment/prep time, traditionally referred to as

Panther Period. During this time, we offer remediation, enrichment, and preparation in AHSGE, ACT, and remediation/enrichment/support

with regard to the common core standards. AP English is offered to juniors, and we are currently exploring offering Advanced Placement and

dual enrollment in senior English as well as other core subjects. Also, a variety of Career and Technical Courses are offered and taught by

Business and Industry Certified Teachers.

In addition to our academic offerings, changes have occurred to the physical plant of WWHS. Over the past two years, a new HVAC system

was installed, a new football practice field was constructed, new scoreboards were installed on the football, softball, and baseball fields, an

electronic information sign was installed. A new business technology lab was installed, and campus beautification projects are currently

underway by way of our Art Class and our Agriscience class. Community involvement has increased due to programs such as academic

acknowledgement (i.e., Academic Teas, Baccalaureate, etc.).

Even though the number of students attending WWHS is expected to increase, the job offerings close to the community have continued to

decrease. In the past year, the Anniston Army Depot, a long-time employer of local residents, has started to cut back on hours for our

stakeholders employed there. Westinghouse, a more recent employer, has completed the burning of chemicals and has started a reduction-

in-force eliminating jobs or moving jobs elsewhere in the United States. Because most of our stakeholders were born and raised in the area

and own property, they are reluctant to move and start over. As a direct result of a decrease in the availability of jobs, our student free and

reduced count is expected to continue to rise. However, our community, as history has shown, will continue to grow stronger, grow closer,

and overcome life's obstacles. We will not fail to instill a strong work ethic and never quit attitude in all our young people.

school embodies its purpose through its program offerings and expectations for students. School's Purpose Statement:

We, the faculty, administration, and staff of Walter Wellborn High School, in cooperation with the entire community, believe it is our obligation

to prepare WWHS students to be college and career ready. Furthermore, we believe students should be provided with the opportunity to gain

an education which is suited to their individual needs, dependent upon their choices and interests- regardless of race, sex, or socioeconomic

status. Students graduating from WWHS will be life-long learners and responsible digital citizens, so they can successfully contribute to our

ever changing world.

Improvement Planning Process

Improvement Planning Process

Describe the process used to engage a variety of stakeholders in the development of the institution's improvement plan. Include

information on how stakeholders were selected and informed of their roles, and how meetings were scheduled to accommodate

them. Faculty meetings, department meetings, and continuous improvement meetings have been held to determine individual areas of strengths

and weaknesses from the 2012-2013 data. Students, parents, teachers, and the school administration have a vital role in making the ACIP a

success. Because this is a "working plan", parents and students will be surveyed regarding their level of satisfaction with the academic

achievement and school culture. Results for any standardized academic assessments and/or parent/student surveys will be shared with the

students, parents, faculty, and staff via our school's website. The school leadership team will meet to discuss and contribute ideas for

strategies, professional development, school safety, and budget requirements. A rough draft will be compiled, and the faculty and staff will

evaluate it and make suggestions for changes if needed. Revisions will be made (as needed), and the final draft will be submitted to the

Calhoun County Board of Education for approval. Describe the representations from stakeholder groups that participated in the development of the improvement plan and their

responsibilities in this process. Mr. Christopher Hayes, Principal, Facilitator, Writer

Introduction The Stakeholder Feedback Diagnostic is designed to analyze the institution's survey results in terms of areas of achievement and areas that

need improvement. Further, the diagnostic is essential to the accreditation and continuous improvement processes in that it provides the

institution with a comprehensive view of the aggregate scores of the surveys administered, and the actual total of respondents for each

survey type to derive a single score for this diagnostic. The performance level score computed at the completion of the diagnostic is used to

broaden and enhance the external review team's understanding of the stakeholder's perceptions of the institution; the diagnostic should be

used in the same manner by the institution as it engages in improvement planning.

Introduction The Student Performance Diagnostic provides an institution with a process to report summative student assessments. This diagnostic is

significant to the accreditation and continuous improvement process as it serves as a resource for schools to view content area assessment

results required by the state, district, or other entities, determine the quality and reliability of the given assessments, and show the alignment

of the assessments to the school's curriculum. The performance level computed at the completion of the diagnostic is used by the external

review team as a comprehensive report to understand fully the institution's assessment program; the diagnostic should be used in the same

manner by the institution as it engages in improvement planning.

Areas of Notable Achievement

Which area(s) are above the expected levels of performance? Because all students did not prove mastery or proficient given the data available, we have no areas that are above the expected levels of

performance. Describe the area(s) that show a positive trend in performance. At WWHS, Reading shows a positive trend in performance for 7th and 8th grade as indicated by 2013-2013 ARMT+ results:

Cohort 2012 Graduation Rate was 85% versus 79% for Cohort 2011. Cohort 2013 has not been published as of this date.

Which area(s) indicate the overall highest performance? WWHS data indicates an overall strength in reading and English-Language Arts. Which subgroup(s) show a trend toward increasing performance? At WWHS, black, white, and the free and reduced subgroups show a trend toward increasing performance. Between which subgroups is the achievement gap closing? The achievement gap appears to be closing between the black and white subgroups. Which of the above reported findings are consistent with findings from other data sources? The data from reading is consistent with data obtained from STI Benchmark One Assessment results obtained in September 2013. Although

the assessment results indicated low percentages (averages in the 50's), the assessment measures what a student should know and be able

to do at the end of the current school year with regard to common core and quality core standards. These results show WWHS students

consistently perform higher in reading than in math.

Areas in Need of Improvement

Which area(s) are below the expected levels of performance? At WWHS, math is consistently below the expected levels of performance across all grade levels with the exception being 8th grade/Cohort

2017 (according to ARMT+ data only). Describe the area(s) that show a negative trend in performance. Results from ARMT+ Math for 2013, showed a negative trend in performance of students from 2012 to 2013 as indicated below:

7th grade Math:

54% proficient; 46% non-proficient

15% scored IV this year

2012:

63% proficient; 37% non-proficient

21% scored IV

Additionally, results from the September 2013 administration of STI Benchmark One Assessment showed an average mean of roughly 30%

across grade levels (It is important to keep in mind that this assessment measures what a student should know and be able to do at the end

of the current grade level). Data is expected to improve over the year as standards are learned. Which area(s) indicate the overall lowest performance? The area of math (in particular geometry concepts and solving multi-step linear equations) indicate an overall area of weakness across grade

levels. Which subgroup(s) show a trend toward decreasing performance? The 7th grade math subgroup showed a trend toward decreasing performance from the previous year. In 2013, only 54% of the students in

seventh grade scored proficient compared to 63% the previous year. Additionally, 6% fewer students scored in level IV than the previous

year. Between which subgroups is the achievement gap becoming greater? According to our data, all achievement gaps are closing among subgroups. None have become greater.

decimals), using tools strategically. Apply properties of operations to calculate with numbers in any form; convert between forms as appropriate; and assess the

reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies. For Example: If a woman making $25 an hour gets a 10% raise, she will make an

additional 1/10 of her salary an hour, or $2.50, for a new salary of $27.50. If you want to place a towel bar 9 3/4 inches long in the center of a door that is 27 1/2 inches

AFTStrategy Power of ICU ICU was implemented school-wide beginning January 7, 2014. Since

implementation, 1,378 assignments have been added to the databaseand 644 of those assignments have been completed.

Teacher feedback about the program is mixed. Our collaborativeeducation teachers, English teachers, coaches, and extracurricularsponsors have voiced that they like the program and it is working well.The science department commented on some assignments not beingcompleted in a timely manner; however, we have only had sixindividuals (including the principal and assistant principal) working ongetting students in to complete missed assignments. At our lastfaculty meeting on Feb. 3rd, a round table discussion took place. Atthe conclusion of the discussion, it was determined that moreteachers need to be in the database daily, pull students to completework in their Panther Period classes, avoid entering missingassignments for students before their three day grace period forabsences, avoid allowing students to test in the library in lieu of therespective teacher's classroom, and establishing a Principal ICU forstudents with over ten missing assignments.
