Bowie ISD Improvement Plan and Thinking Maps, Hands-On Learning, and Marzano's Strategies
As Bowie ISD works towards the success of its students, faculty, and stakeholders, we have designed this plan with an eye to the future, embracing emerging technology and hoping to ensure an aligned and relevant curriculum. However, our desire is not to turn our backs on the hard work accomplished in the past few years as we still encourage the use of Thinking Maps, hands-on learning, and the scientifically-proven, research-based work of Dr. Marzano. We feel that these strategies are now a part of the culture of Bowie ISD, and therefore while still important to the future of our district, do not need to be explicitly stated on the District Improvement Plan. We still encourage the use of these strategies, and all teachers new to the district will receive training in the use of these strategies.
BOWIE ISD
Mission
It is our mission to promote the intellectual, emotional, social, and physical development of each
student and to create a flourishing environment and educational experience that empowers all
students to be successful at their highest level in order to lead a meaningful life in an ever-
changing world.
Nondiscrimination Notice
BOWIE ISD does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, or disability in providing education services, activities, and programs, including vocational programs, in accordance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended; Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972; and section 504 of the rehabilitation Act
of 1973; as amended
Comprehensive Needs Assessment Process & Summary
CNA Process: The District and Campus Improvement Teams are selected each year based on district policy and include teachers, administrators, parents, community, and business representatives. The District Improvement Team meets periodically throughout the year as needed. An Improvement Planning Retreat is held in June each year to review the purpose and importance of conducting a Comprehensive Needs Assessment with the District Improvement Team and special program representatives. The District and Campus Improvement Plans are evaluated to determine if Performance Objectives have been met and to determine if designated Strategies have been completed effectively. A Comprehensive Needs Assessment is conducted for the district and each campus that includes the review of assessment data from a variety of sources such as AYP Reports, TAPR, Accountability, TPRI, and program evaluations. Data is collected at multiple levels including multi-year data in some cases. Surveys are conducted to gain information from a variety of sources. Data from various program areas such as CTE, Title I, Technology, Professional Development, Student Assessment, and School Safety are included. After the data is reviewed and analyzed, the DIT sets priorities and makes recommendations for strategic initiatives to be implemented in the District and Campus Improvement Plans. The Campus Improvement Teams meet following the District Improvement Team Meeting to ensure that a comprehensive, focused approach is implemented throughout the district and to ensure clear alignment exists between identified needs described in the Comprehensive Needs Assessment, the District's Performance Objectives and Strategies, and the Campus Strategies. At least once each two years, an evaluation will be conducted to evaluate the SMDM procedures and staff development activities. A public meeting is held in December or January of each year to disseminate the results of the TAPR report to the public.
Summary of Prior Year's Evaluation: While reviewing the 2014-2015 Campus Improvement Plan, the CIT agreed to change the BISD Long Range Goals to make them reflect the new BISD Board Goals. Priority Needs were edited to reflect new CNA findings detailed below. The CIT also agreed to change multiple Goals and Objectives to reflect the new priorities and CNA findings. A review of strategies determined most strategies were effective in 2015-2015, as there were multiple areas of growth revealed in 2015 campus data. As a result, the CIT agreed to keep most strategies in the plan, eliminating only a few that would no longer be an emphasis. The CIT also added new strategies to each goal to reflect new initiatives or action plans for 2015-2016.
