ASSURANCES FOR SCHOOL RENEWAL PLANS (Mandated Component)

Act 135 Assurances Assurances, checked and signed by the principal, attest that the district complies with all applicable Act 135 requirements.

Academic Assistance, PreK–3 The school makes special efforts to assist children in PreK–3 who demonstrate a need for extra or alternative instructional attention (e.g., after-school homework help centers, individual tutoring, and group remediation).

Academic Assistance, Grades 4–12 The school makes special efforts to assist children in grades 4–12 who demonstrate a need for extra or alternative instructional attention (e.g., after-school homework help centers, individual tutoring, and group remediation).

Parent InvolvementThe school encourages and assists parents in becoming more involved in their children’s education. Some examples of parent involvement initiatives include making special efforts to meet with parents at times more convenient for them, providing parents with their child’s individual test results and an interpretation of the results, providing parents with information on the district’s curriculum and assessment program, providing frequent, two way communication between home and school, providing parents an opportunity to participate on decision making groups, designating space in schools for parents to access educational resource materials, including parent involvement expectations as part of the principal’s and superintendent’s evaluations, and providing parents with information pertaining to expectations held for them by the school system, such as ensuring attendance and punctuality of their children.

Staff DevelopmentThe school provides staff development training for teachers and administrators in the teaching techniques and strategies needed to implement the district plan for the improvement of student academic performance. The staff development program reflects requirements of Act 135, the EAA, and the National Staff Development Council’s revised Standards for Staff Development.

Technology The school integrates technology into professional development, curriculum development, and classroom instruction to improve teaching and learning.

InnovationThe school uses innovation funds for innovative activities to improve student learning and accelerate the performance of all students. Provide a good example of the use of innovation funds.

*These funds are no longer available

IV

RecruitmentThe district makes special and intensive efforts to recruit and give priority to serving those parents or guardians of children, ages birth through five years, who are considered at-risk of school failure. “At-risk” children are defined as those whose school readiness is jeopardized by any of, but not limited to, the following personal or family situation(s): Educational level of parent below high school graduation, poverty, limited English proficiency, significant developmental delays, instability or inadequate basic capacity within the home and/or family, poor health (physical, mental, emotional), and/or child abuse and neglect.

CollaborationThe school (regardless of the grades served) collaborates with health and human services agencies (e.g., county health departments, social services departments, mental health departments, First Steps, and the family court system).

Developmental Screening The school ensures that the young child receives all services necessary for growth and development. Instruments are used to assess physical, social, emotional, linguistic, and cognitive developmental levels. This program normally is appropriate at primary and elementary schools, although screening efforts could take place at any location.

Half-Day Child Development The school provides half-day child development programs for four-year-olds (some districts fund full-day programs). The programs usually function at primary and elementary schools, although they may be housed at locations with other grade levels or completely separate from schools.

Developmentally Appropriate Curriculum for PreK–3 The school ensures that the scope and sequence of the curriculum for PreK-3 are appropriate for the maturation levels of students. Instructional practices accommodate individual differences in maturation level and take into account the student's social and cultural context.

Parenting and Family Literacy The school provides a four component program that integrates all of the following activities: interactive literacy activities between parents and their Children (Interactive Literacy Activities); training for parents regarding how to be the primary teachers for their children and full partners in the education of their children (parenting skills for adults, parent education); parent literacy training that leads to economic self-sufficiency (adult education); and an age-appropriated education to prepare children for success in school and life experiences (early childhood education). Family Literacy is not grade specific, but generally is most appropriate for parents of children at the primary and elementary school levels and below, and for secondary school students who are parents. Family Literacy program goals are to strengthen parent involvement in the learning process of preschool children ages birth through five years; promote school readiness of preschool children; offer parents special opportunities to improve their literacy skills and education, a chance to recover form dropping out of school; and identify potential developmental delays in preschool children by offering developmental screening.

Coordination of Act 135 Initiatives with Other Federal, State, and District Programs

V

The district ensures as much program effectiveness as possible by developing a district wide/school wide coordinated effort among all programs and funding. Act 135 initiatives are coordinated with programs such as Head Start, First Steps, Title I, and programs for students with disabilities.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OF NEEDS ASSESSMENT FINDINGS(Mandated Component)

The comprehensive needs assessment that was conducted at the school level addressed the following areas: (1) Student Achievement, (2) Teacher Quality, (3) School Climate, and (4) Infrastructure. For each of these areas, a plan of action for Lyman Elementary School has been determined for improvement. Information gained from the school/district report cards, test results, questionnaires, surveys, community meetings, and school personnel meetings was utilized to develop this strategic plan. Strengths, weaknesses, and areas that need improving were determined from this information. Strategies and action steps were then developed.

Student achievement data has been analyzed with emphasis on the 2010 PASS test data. The baseline data is for the most recent year (2010) of PASS. According to this data, our school has various subgroups that need immediate attention. The most common areas are socio-economic, disability, and racial/ethnic.

We must be sure that the students in K – 2nd grade are being prepared for rigorous 3rd grade standards. Lyman currently houses one K-4 program which serves a morning and an afternoon class, and two self-contained classes for students with mild disabilities and autism. However, more 4K programs are needed at Lyman in order to have more students coming to the 1st grade ready to learn on grade level.

The following areas were identified as major needs for student achievement to improve:1. To continue to improve PASS and MAP test scores for all students.2. To provide more opportunities for parents to be involved in their child’s education.3. Continuing to provide a challenging, rigorous standards-based curriculum to all students.4. To ensure that teachers have numerous and varied opportunities to grow professionally

According to NCLB, teachers must be highly qualified in their subject area or areas. Presently 99.8% of the teachers at Lyman Elementary School are highly qualified. Presently 100% of the paraprofessionals at Lyman meet the requirement as highly qualified.

School Climate is being addressed in this plan by performance goals: (1) increased emphasis on teacher and student attendance, (2) increased opportunities for parental involvement in their child’s education and (3) increased business community participation. Our data also indicated the need to improve in the areas of student/teacher attendance and parent/guardian participation. Strategies are in place and are being put in place to improve performance in these areas.

Infrastructure is being addressed by providing equitable resources to support quality academic and extra-curricular programs. Adequate support for facilities and technology will continue to be a priority in this plan. An emphasis will be placed on conservation practices as it relates to energy consumption and other environmentally friendly initiatives.
