Introduction The purpose of this School Progress Plan (SPP, or the “plan”) document is to establish what the school will do to raise the academic achievement of all its

students and to address the needs of students who are at-risk academically and/or currently underperforming. The plan identifies specific strategies in the areas

of climate, mathematics, and reading that the school intends to implement in the coming year. The plan also specifies strategies, as applicable, that will be used to

promote parent involvement and incorporate Title I components, as required by federal and state law.

School Performance Indicators and Targets Section Purpose: BCPS is committed to the use of academic and school climate data to assess school performance and progress towards the attainment of

the goals established in its 5-year strategic plan, Blueprint 2.0. Student progress in reading and mathematics for the elementary and middle school grades is

measured by the Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) assessment. Similarly, progress in high school is measured by graduation requirements, such as results

on the Maryland High School Assessments (HSA), as well as graduation and dropout rates, SAT participation and scores. Both MAP and HSA are aligned with

the college and career-ready standards. Climate is measured by performance on certain indicators such as suspension, attendance, and stakeholder (i.e. student,

parent, and staff/teacher) perception survey.

Each school is measured against its own goals and must work to strengthen academic growth and achievement for all students. Therefore, the plan begins with an

assessment of the key academic and climate performance indicators noted below. Schools will use actual data for 2015-2016 for these indicators to determine

goals and targets for the 2016-2017 school year. The school’s performance relative to the targets should lead to conversations about any gaps in performance and

potential causes. By identifying a root cause, schools can then establish goals that ensure that any gaps in performance can be eliminated in the future.

Identification of Priority Needs

Section Purpose: This section identifies the priority needs of the school, based on an analysis of the data and underlying causes. Priority needs are

opportunities that the school has identified to close achievement gaps for targeted groups of students and to raise the academic bar for all students. If the root

cause is properly identified and addressed through the implementation of appropriate strategies, the issues or gaps in student performance will be eliminated or

mitigated in the future.

Schools: Use the ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS WORKSHEET to facilitate dialogue about possible root causes for the priority areas of climate, mathematics,

and reading.

Priority Need Based on Data

Root Cause

The greatest need for the priority area of climate is:

According to referral data, students missed 114,435 minutes of instructional time.

The root cause of the performance issues or gaps in climate is:

Need to prioritize proactive behavior management procedures in order to create a classroom that is safe, orderly and conducive to learning.

The greatest need for the priority area of mathematics is:

65.3% of students met MAP math growth target, however we do not see evidence of that in the unit assessments?

The root cause of the performance issues or gaps in mathematics is:

Prioritize teaching/learning needs in order to provide focused professional plan that transfers into the classroom.

The greatest need for the priority area of reading is:

15% of our students reading on grade level in the third grade?

The root cause of the performance issues or gaps in reading is:

Prioritize teaching/learning needs in order to provide focused professional plan that transfers into the classroom.

Vision and Mission

Section Purpose: Having a shared vision and mission for a school is key to improving its effectiveness. A vision is a clear statement of the shared values of

the school community. A mission statement is typically a more detailed description of the general purpose of and goals for the school. The vision and mission

together create a powerful framework for monitoring how well a school is doing against its commitments to students and the community. The goals or objectives

identified in this school progress plan for the next school year reflect the vision and mission of the school.

School Vision Statement

Deep Creek Elementary students will receive an education that prepares them for the 21st Century. Students will acquire skills in core knowledge, metacognition, technology, and life skills. Teachers will provide rigorous instruction that is accessible, relevant, and responsive to students. Students will learn in classroom environments that allow them to thrive and become confident individuals with a passion for learning. “Discovering, Cultivating, and Reaching Our Potential”

School Mission Statement

Deep Creek Elementary School’s mission is to provide a quality education that develops the content knowledge, skills, and attitudes that will enable all students to reach their maximum potential as responsible, life-long learners and productive citizens.

Goals, Strategic Initiatives, Key Actions, and Professional Learning Selections

Section Purpose: In this section, goals are determined based on the priority needs identified during data analysis and are aligned with the goals established in

Blueprint 2.0. Goals are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Timely (SMART) and describe the objectives for improved student performance which

can be monitored for progress and reported on a regular basis. The goals that are identified for this school progress plan will address the root cause of the issues

or gaps in performance in the areas of climate, mathematics, and reading.

This section also captures the strategic initiatives, key actions, and professional learning that will be implemented in order to accomplish the goal. Specific

strategic initiatives identify what the school intends to do instructionally to 1) improve performance for all students, based on best practice research and

evidenced by the observable behaviors of teachers and staff and 2) meet the needs of historically underserved populations or low-performing subgroups of

students. Key actions are the specific activities or tasks that must occur to ensure that the strategic initiatives are implemented. Key actions should consider

activities that might need to involve parents, schedule changes, additional staffing, etc. The school must also sufficiently plan for professional learning that builds

capacity in teachers and staff to accomplish the goals of the plan. The professional learning plan identifies high-quality professional learning activities that are

ongoing and use data to support the effectiveness of the learning and its impact on student achievement.

Schools:

Schools should reference the training and resources on the Office of Performance Management intranet site for examples and guidance on the development of

goals, strategic initiatives, key actions, and professional learning.
