Title I

Schoolwide Program Plan

Williams ES operates a Title I Schoolwide Program due t the percentage of low income students. Annually we review the schoolwide concept and thetargeted assistance concept with parents and faculty via the Campus Improvement Committee (CIC) to elect to continue the Schoolwide Program or TargetedAssistance Program Plan.

The Schoolwide Program Plan is reviewed and updated annually during the Comprehensive Needs Assessment process, This process includes a review ofthe 10 Components of a Title I Schoolwide Program with connections to the eight Goal Areas within our Campus Improvement Plan.

Student Achievement1.Curriculum and Instruction2.Fiscal Responsibility3.Highly Qualified and Effective Teachers4.Parent and Community Involvement5.Instructional Technology6.Safe and Disciplined Environments7.Dropout Prevention8.

Ten Schoolwide Components

1: Comprehensive Needs Assessment

Our Campus Improvement Committee (CIC) utilized guidance from TEA Region 20ESC to develop the Comprehensive Needs Assessment process. TheComprehensive Needs Assessment (CNA) begins with the Summative Evaluation of the prior year's Campus Improvement Plan. GPISD provides studentachievement data and progress monitoring reports. We include our Report Card and relevant PEIMS data with the System Safeguards report. Our CIPincludes a checklist of additional data reviewed. The CIC coordinates this review with campus administrators and teachers.

The Campus Improvement Plan includes a new Performance Objective regarding shared decision-making improvements, focusing on improvedimplementation of the CIC structure. Each strategy in the CIP format provides a pick list choice option for the Component(s) addressed by that Strategy

2: Schoolwide Reform Strategies

Schoolwide Reform Strategies are reviewed, updated and incorporated into the CIP annually. For the 2015-2016 schoolyear these reform strategies areaddressed:


August 2, 2016 10:05 am

Develop improved interventions for students struggling with academics and/or designated as at risk of dropping out of school.Improve and support Programs and Schools of Choice.Improve program coordination particularly between Title I and SCE funds.Focus Parent and Community Involvement sessions on student academic achievement as requested by parents.Implement GPISD 6 Plays with a new focus on Visit What You Value, an effort to monitor our efforts and produce specific outcomes to measuresuccess.

3: Instruction by highly qualified professional teachers

Goal Area 4 in our CIP addresses professional development strategies to ensure 100% compliance with HQ regulations and to further ensure that ourteachers are being highly effective in the classroom, particularly with students who are struggling academically or are at risk of dropping out of school. Amajor component of this effort is supported centrally with the services of Title II Curriculum Facilitators supported by Content Strategists, funded from TitleI and State Compensatory Education. An Instructional Coach (iCoach) serves our campus to bring these services directly to the classroom teacher.

Professional Development activities are also expanding through the use of online training opportunities as well as training sessions. In addition to GPISDservices and online training opportunities, our campus designs a Campus Training Plan approved by the CIC and the Principal to address teachers’ needsspecifically identified at our campus.

4: High-quality and ongoing professional development for teachers, principals, and paraprofessionals and, if appropriate, student servicespersonnel, parents, and other staff

A major component of this effort is supported centrally with the services of Title II Curriculum Facilitators supported by Content Strategists. AnInstructional Coach (iCoach) serves our campus to bring these services directly to the classroom teacher. Professional Development activities are alsoexpanding through the use of online training opportunities as well as training sessions.

In addition to GPISD services and online training opportunities, our campus designs a Campus Training Plan approved by the CIC and the Principal toaddress teachers’ needs specifically identified at our campus.

5: Strategies to attract highly qualified teachers


August 2, 2016 10:05 am

GPISD monitors applicants for HQ standards and requirements during the hiring process and transfer process if teachers change campuses and/orassignments. Other recruitment efforts include a competitive salary and benefits package and the continuously improving reputation of our school and theentire district. Our current expansion of Programs and Schools of Choice is proving to be an excellent recruitment effort for the all of GPISD.

6: Strategies to increase parental involvement

GPISD allocates the required amount of Title I funds to our campus specifically noted for Parent and Community Involvement, function 61. We plan themajority of our efforts around academic based sessions for parents to address feedback and surveys requesting more help with home based learning. Ourcampus efforts are supported by GPISD Parent Involvement Centers.

GPISD funds a Parent/Community Liaison for our campus. This person works at our school and at one of the GPISD Parent Involvement Centers. Via theannual Health and Services Fair GPISD Parent/Community Liaisons establish a much improved line of communication with our parents. An annual survey,as well as feedback sheets from meetings or sessions, is recorded to gain input from our customers. From this feedback our campus is increasing the numberof parent sessions offered to include more information on home learning and increasing student achievement. Our Parent/Community Liaison also assistswith distributing and documenting parent receipt of our Parent Involvement Policy and Parent/School Compacts.

7: Plans for assisting preschool children in the transition from early childhood programs to elementary school programs

GPISD is expanding preschool programs across the district. All comprehensive Title I elementary schools in GPISD offer Kindergarten. We provide parentinformation to parents regarding the Pre-Kindergarten program at Bonham Early Childhood Center and the new Crockett Early Childhood Center. GPISDstudents are screened for reading readiness at the transition to into elementary school programs to focus individualized strategies as needed.

8: Measures to include teachers in the decisions regarding the use of academic assessments in order to improve the achievement of individualstudents and the overall instructional program

Williams ES participates in the Progress Monitoring process each 3, 6 and 9 weeks periods, designed and led by Research and Evaluation staff. ProfessionalLearning Groups of campus administrators and classroom teachers are trained on how to interpret achievement data and related information and how to focusteaching and learning plans to improve the achievement of individual students. Our CNA process includes teachers in the CIC data review sessions to betteraddress the overall instructional plan.

9: Activities to ensure effective timely assistance for students who experience difficulty mastering the proficient or advanced levels of academicachievement standards


August 2, 2016 10:05 am

Student academic services are designed and implemented based on student achievement data and Public Education Information Management System(PEIMS) data regarding students identified as at risk of dropping out of school. The thirteen categories of at risk designations show five categories based onpure academic measures, such as STAAR failures or Limited English Proficiency, and eight categories of psycho-social measures, such as homelessness orpregnancy/parenting. PEIMS information regarding at risk designations is included as a primary source of data during the Comprehensive NeedsAssessment (CNA) process. Strategies are developed from this work in Goal Area 8 of our CIP.

Tutoring efforts are well documented. Our teachers also implement strategies specific to students who experience difficulty mastering any of the state’sstandards to provide effective, timely additional assistance. These efforts are supported by State Compensatory Education funds as well as Title I funds.

10: Coordination and integration of federal, state and local services and programs

The CNA process and the CIP development process include a review of our Title I budget, as well as general operating funds and State Compensatoryfunds. Our CIP structure captures proposed expenditures for each Strategy and allows us to adjust out budget as necessary to accomplish our planned efforts.

Federal programs such as Title I, Title II, Title III and IDEA are budgeted during the same process with General Operating funds and State CompensatoryEducation (SCE) funds. This coordinated process avoids supplanting and provides the most effective financial support of campus strategies across all GoalAreas of the Campus Improvement Plan. Perhaps the most notable example of this coordination is the implementation of the Title II effort to improve theoverall professional development and instructional delivery by our teachers. The basic program of Facilitators is funded by Title II. Title I funds and SCEfunds complement the program by funding additional Strategists to expand the program. General Operating funds, SCE funds and Title I funds extendservices directly to the classroom.
