Current Status Successes:
We have made gains in reading, math and writing over the last two years
We have continued to close the achievement gap between whites and Hispanics
Areas of Concern: OHS still struggles with a low graduation rate We still need to develop a viable math
intervention program

Data Driven Decisions Super Spread Sheet
Houses student information data, used by teachers to quickly access data
Teacher can quickly filter lists of their students, and their programs such as ELL, Sped, TAG, test scores.
IObservation Protocol Portal for recording teacher observations, discussions
and reflections. Big 3—Behavior tracking
Google doc that allows teachers to document and/or assign lunch detention for dress code violations, tardies, and disrespect toward staff.

Successful Programs We Hope To Sustain
Curriculum alignment with the CCSS & proficiency- based grading
Language! intervention program Project Lead the Way Freshman Success Aspire Community Mentor Program Increased college credit opportunities Summer school programs Challenge Day!

Alignment to CCSS and Moving to Proficiency-
Based Grading
Goal 1: Teachers across departments will align their curriculum with state content and Common Core State Standards by June of 2013.
Goal 2: Teachers will implement a proficiency-based assessment model that is aligned with their content standards and CCSS during the 2013/2014 school year.

WHY PROFICIENCIES?
![Page 18: Darbie Dennison & Carren Poff](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062310/5681688e550346895ddf13f3/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
In The Past
1. Teachers taught what they liked ~ no common standards, and no school-wide system to measure growth
2. No tracking of standard skills and no standard grammar/writing expectations or testing norms—other than state tests
3. Hesitancy to embrace research-based changes as they became available
4. No common language defining student skill levels or what needed to be taught each year
5. Over-reliance on completing daily practice for grades and extra credit
6. Behaviorally-based grading systems7. Writing samples at teacher’s discretion . . . with some
students never receiving a score-just a grade based on number of paragraphs
8. Over-reliance on novels 9. “We have arrived ~ no updates necessary” attitude
![Page 19: Darbie Dennison & Carren Poff](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062310/5681688e550346895ddf13f3/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Now1. Common departmental skills taught, tested, and tracked2. Alignment of standards taught and tested across all grade levels3. Departmental agreement on common grammar, writing
systems, or skills tracking4. Weekly PLC’s to track, share, and discuss progress5. Graduation requirements, skill proficiency, and work samples
have new level of importance6. Nation has adopted (and is rolling out) Common Core State
Standards7. Reliance on test scores only to prove proficiency8. More experience with informational text & focus on skill rather
than story 9. No extra credit to muddy the measurement waters!10. ALWAYS EVOLVING

Assessment and Grading Procedures
Practice is not graded, but feedback will be given!
Proficiencies are sole source of grades for the class
No extra credit . . . either you know it or you don’t
To Pass Course Student Must: Have an average of 70% (2) or higher on
each Learning Target at the end of each semester and
Pass the course with an grade point average of 70% (2) or higher
Students track their progress at end of each unit for parent report

Misc. Details• Every assignment mirrors proficiency• Attach Learning Targets or Writing rubric to
every pertinent assignment • Secure proficiencies/testing environment• Formative assessments used regularly –
attempt to make them as “hands-off” for teacher as possible
• Late work policy left to teacher• One retake opportunity for each proficiency
per semester

BENEFITS…..

Benefits for Students and Staff
Students, parents, and teachers are aware of strengths and weaknesses
Everyone knows what will be learned for the semester/year.
Students have little to argue about with grades
Teachers can be vigilant regarding skills and strength of teaching
Higher expectations of students and teachers
Because teachers are teaching simultaneously, we will be more inclined to share resources and strategies
![Page 54: Darbie Dennison & Carren Poff](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062310/5681688e550346895ddf13f3/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Future Potential Higher skill base Higher expectations Higher test scores Fewer interventions needed Students prepared for college or the work
force More structure for interaction between
schools, grade levels, and curriculums Unified departments

Summer School Program Credit-recovery
Currently using Odyssey ware, but working on transitioning to a proficiency-based recovery system
Proficiency recovery If a student is short of passing the required number of
proficiencies, they will only be required to be re-taught and re-take the proficiencies lacking
8th/9th transition students Students who failed two or more classes in 8th grade
were required to attend summer school at OHS
