Yes N/A Assurances
X
Collaboration The 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).
X
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.
N/A
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.

Instructional practices accommodate individual differences in maturation level and take into account the student's social and cultural cont. ext.

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 l 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 from dropping out of school; and identify potential developmental delays in preschool children by offering developmental screening.
X
Coordination of Act 135 Initiatives with Other Federal, State, and District Programs 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 (Summary of Conclusions)
Use this section to summarize the needs of your school.
Careful data analysis and evaluation directs our instructional decision-making process. We examine PASS data, Benchmarks,
Common Assessments, Running Records, chapter test results, student work samples, attendance, and participation data for trends
and instructional implications. Through this process, we have identified our school’s major initiatives to sustain and accelerate
student achievement. The first area of focus is in reading. In order to sustain and accelerate our students’ reading skills, we will
adhere to the schedule for reading and language arts instruction, 135 minutes for kindergarten through second grade and 90
minutes for third grade through fifth grade. Teachers will meet with students for small group reading instruction daily. This block
will be based on the South Carolina State Standards and all components of independent reading and independent writing, directed/guided reading instruction, word study, writing instruction, reciprocal teaching, and teacher read aloud.
Specific focus areas will be on comprehension of informational text, understanding the text after reading to enhance students ’
abilities to summarize, making inferences and understand author’s view point, and decoding skills to assist with fluency and literary
comprehension.
We will focus on individual students’ needs, students’ ownership, and parent awareness of strategies, expectations and
assessments. The school will ensure that centers are being utilized in every classroom to reflect targeted skills and that
differentiated instruction is occurring. We will continue to use the reading specialist for classroom guidance and professional
development. The administrators will formally and informally observe teachers delivering instruction and monitor for sound
educational practices. We will also utilize our human resources: volunteers, reading specialist and parents, to create intervention
groups and provide individualized instruction to students in need of additional reading support.
The second area of need is mathematics, specifically the areas of problem solving, and fractions. In order to sustain and accelerate our students’ mathematical skills, we will adhere to the schedule for mathematics instruction, 60 minutes for kindergarten through second grade and 90 minutes for third grade through fifth grade. Each classroom teacher will assess students’ math levels and differentiate instruction based on individual needs. These flexible groups will meet daily for more effective instruction geared towards students’ specific needs. Students will write in their math journals daily and teachers will display math word walls in each classroom. Manipulative use, centers, and authentic tasks will be used frequently to attain our goals in the areas of fractions, problem solving and measurement. Students in grades K-2 will be engaged in Time and Calendar Mathematics daily to acquire mathematical processes and concepts. Teachers will collect data for review at PLC sessions. This data will include mathematics group lists, student work samples (i.e. math journals), chapter tests, and quarterly benchmark assessments. The School
School Improvement Plan 2017-2022 11
Improvement Team will meet monthly to review data, discuss progress, and make recommendations for modifications to the Action Plan.
Specific areas of focus will be on students being able to identify, write and solve problems and students being able to write and find
equivalent fractions. In order to sustain and accelerate student achievement in these areas, we will enhance and strengthen the
academic instruction of mathematics by providing differentiated instruction opportunities. Specific areas of focus will be identifying the operations needed to solve the problem, making sure that we focus on fractions at least twice a week, and justifying the results.
We will focus on individual students’ needs, students’ ownership, and parent awareness of strategies, expectation and assessments.
Teachers will focus on math vocabulary and implement center activities to reinforce targeted skills. Teachers will conference with
students using assessment data. We will ensure that flexible grouping is occurring in math based on student specific needs. The
administrators will formally and informally observe teachers delivering instruction and monitor for sound educational practices. We
will also utilize our human resources: volunteers and parents, to create response to intervention groups and provide individualized
instruction to students in need of additional math support.
