MIDDLE SCHOOL

For the second year TJMS summer school, under the direction of Dr. David Patton and Mr. David Bray, designed and developed the "Skill Building" summer school as a Project Based Learning (PBL) experience, an “edible school yard.”

The project revolved around planning, building, and using outdoor gardens. Teachers identified essential skills to be taught during summer school and then related the lessons to the gardens and food production.  This program takes vegetables grown at school and brings them into the cafeteria.  The program was supported through "buy it forward" donations of JCPS staff buying vegetables before they were even planted.

Exit data revealed average SRI score gains of one half grade level improvement and strong improvement on math post-test performance.  TJ also conducted a student survey that showed strong student support of the methods of instruction.

TJMS, along with Lewis and Clark, developed a Jumpstart Math for 7th graders entering 8th grade Algebra.  This program combined with Gateway to Technology to design and build tables and benches using only donated pallets.

   

ELEMENTARY BASIC SKILLS

Summer school was held at each elementary school, except South (due to construction).

Students with below average achievement in grades K-5 were invited to participate.

Pre-kindergarten was offered to all incoming public and parochial school kindergarteners.

1,140 students participated, with the largest enrollment in Pre K

The summer curriculum was an extension of the school year focusing on the Comprehensive Literacy Model and basic math skills.

Average class sizes ranged from 13-18

 

GORDON SCHOOL EXTENDED PROGRAM

The extended program was offered at Gordon School in an effort to provide additional academic support for students who participate in the MAP assessment.

Mrs. Leigh Dunlap, Lawson Elementary School, served as lead teacher.

The teachers were charged with creating an engaging learning environment incorporating grade level essential skills and technology. A weekly community based field trip during the month of July was also incorporated.

An invitation was extended to 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grade students demonstrating below average achievement in Title I schools. Initially, 70 students enrolled in the eight-week program. After the first 4 weeks, the enrollment dropped to 41.
