CAMPUS NEEDS ASSESSMENT
Introduction
The ECLC campus advisory committee met on November 2, 2016, to consider the campus’ goals,
develop a comprehensive needs assessment, and formulate strategies to meet the goals and needs
identified. During the meeting, members of the committee discussed the strengths and needs of the
district focusing on four areas: academic achievement, student safety, highly qualified staff, and
parental involvement. In doing so, the committee considered the results of state and local assessments,
experience in the school and community, surveys, and professional opinions to determine the strengths
and needs of the district discussed here.
Campus Improvement Plan Purpose
ECLC has made a commitment to create a strategic plan with the involvement of all stakeholders. The
strategic planning process seeks to involve parents, teachers, community members, and district staff to
provide the best educational opportunities possible for ECLC students. The ECLC Campus Improvement
Plan also serves as the Head Start Strategic Plan.
Comprehensive Needs Assessment Purpose
The comprehensive needs assessment is the centerpiece of the planning process and is the driving force
most impacting the district improvement plan. Using internal and external data assists the planning
team in developing its vision of the future in a systematic effort to acquire an accurate, thorough picture
of a school district. The comprehensive needs assessment should identify the educational strengths and
areas in need of improvement by examining student performance, staff and curriculum objectives,
parent and community involvement, and campus facilities.
Comprehensive Needs Assessment – Narratives and Data Analysis
Campus Profile:
The Early Childhood Learning Center serves a current enrollment of 581 students. The campus houses
five programs of the Sulphur Springs ISD located in Hopkins County, Texas. It provides services for
students in PPCD, Head Start 3 & 4, Pre-Kindergarten, Kindergarten and Transitional First Grade.
Culture and Climate:
The vision of Sulphur Springs ISD is “Educating All Students to Their Fullest Potential.” Like our district,
the ECLC campus believes that all children can learn, and can be motivated to reach their full personal
potential.
The Early Childhood Learning Center provides a safe, friendly, and engaging environment for its
students. Students and staff function in a learner-centered climate that promotes success for all
students.
Student Demographics:
The Early Childhood Learning Center serves an ethnically diverse student population with an
economically disadvantaged student population higher than state averages. Texas Academic
Performance Report (TAPR) data is pending December 2016 release. Current PEIMS data reveals:
ECLC Ethnic Distribution and Sub-Demographics
Ethnic Distribution Percent Sub-Demographic Percent
African American 15.2% Economically Disadvantaged 70.2%
Hispanic 28.2% English Language Learners 17.4%
White 47.0% At-Risk 32.9%
American Indian 0.2% Gifted and Talented 0.2%
Asian 1.6% Special Education 5.7%
Pacific Islander 0.7%
Two or More Races 7.2%
The campus utilizes state compensatory and federal Title funding to provide supplementary services to
provide additional support for students who are economically disadvantaged and/or at risk. The
ongoing use of these funding sources helps to ensure that all ECLC students reach their fullest potential.
ECLC views the ethnic diversity of its student population as a strength that enriches learning
opportunities for all students.
Student State Assessment Performance:
ECLC is an early childhood campus and does not have the state assessment requirement of STAAR. In former years, ECLC was paired with Lamar Elementary School for the AEIS state accountability rating. Beginning in 2012-2013, ECLC and the three primary schools were paired with the 3rd and 4th grade campus, Sulphur Springs Elementary School (SSES). SSES received a met standard rating in 2015-2016, so the ECLC and the primaries met standard as well. The ECLC Professional Learning Committee (PLC) reviewed STAAR student performance data for each
index from a variety of sources including: TAPR for 2012-2013, 2013-2014, and 2014-2015; TEA
Accountability Reports for 2014-2015; Performance-Based Monitoring Analysis System (PBMAS) data;
and district assessments. Beyond the goals identified in each section (by subject/subpopulation), the
data analysis determined specific district strengths and areas for improvement. The ECLC PLC and
campus curriculum teams meet weekly to purposefully plan instruction that supports strengths and
targets areas for improvement.
ECLC administers the K and T1 ELAR and Math Formative Assessment, CogAT, and Istation Assessments and Universal Screeners in Reading and Math for K and T1 students. Head Start students are also assessed using CLI Engage, ASQ-S, ATI Galileo and Kindergarten Readiness Test.
Data for the locally developed formative assessments for ELAR and Math are included. The assessments
are given to kindergarten and T1 students three times per year – BOY (Beginning of Year), MOY (Middle
of Year), and EOY (End of Year). The assessments are tracked through Eduphoria and allow teachers and
RtI teams to track students’ progress individually. Assessing student’s individual growth is of primary
concern.
The standard for satisfactory performance is 90% and the standard for advanced performance is 100%.
It is the goal that every student assessed meets satisfactory performance.
The math assessment was revised both in content as well as its scoring rubric. Future assessment results
may vary in comparison.
After assessment one kindergarten student was identified as G/T.

Graduation Rate (5-Year Extended Longitudinal Rate 9-12) (TAPR 2015-2016):
The 5-Year Extended Longitudinal graduation for the state of Texas for the class of 2014 was 90.4%.
Though SSISD has outperformed the state graduation rate by 3.9%, the district seeks to further increase
the graduation rate through student tracking and the strategies described within the district
improvement plan. Graduation/Dropout Prevention is a primary initiative of the school district. The
Early Childhood Learning Center campus supports this district goal by participating in “My College
Monday,” “Dare to Dream,” and by engaging students in purposeful and meaningful conversations
about wants versus needs, earning a living, and how technology has changed job opportunities as
outlined by our Social Studies TEKS.
Attendance Rate (TAPR 2015-2016):
Attendance rates are reported for the prior year, thus 2015-2016 TAPR data reports attendance as of
2014-2015. District attendance rates are based on the percentage of days students were present over
the entire school year for grades 1-12 only.
The most recent attendance rate for ECLC is 94.62. The campus has a dedicated office clerk to
specifically address attendance, absentee notes and parent contacts regarding absences. This additional
staffing is expected to improve parent communication regarding attendance expectations and result in
improved attendance rates. The attendance goal for ECLC for 2016-2017 is 96%.
Community and Student Engagement:
House Bill 5 included a local evaluation requirement that is referred to as the community engagement
requirement. The community engagement requirement is an opportunity for districts to showcase
areas of excellence and success as well as recognize areas in need of improvement and set future goals
valued in the community.
SSISD completed the self-assessment process for 2015-2016 collaboratively through the district advisory
committee. As required by law, the district assigned a rating of either exemplary, recognized,
acceptable, or unacceptable to each required component. Overall district ratings for 2015-2016 and
corresponding goals for 2016-2017 are as follows:
SSISD Community and Student Engagement Ratings
Component Assigned and Reported
Rating for 2015-2016 2016-2017 Goal

Community and Parental Involvement Exemplary Exemplary
2nd Language Acquisition Recognized Exemplary
Dropout Prevention Strategies Recognized Exemplary
Wellness and Physical Education Recognized Exemplary
21st Century Workforce Development Exemplary Exemplary

Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment:
The curriculum, instruction, and assessment department works with ECLC teachers and administrators
to develop and implement a guaranteed and viably aligned curriculum based on state standards and
student needs. The department provides ongoing and relevant professional development to support
curriculum implementation and promote the effective use of research-based instructional practices.
ECLC teachers continue to modify and implement the vertically aligned Kindergarten Scope and
Sequence documents.
ECLC staff members collaborate to develop formative and summative assessment tools such as Spalding
checkpoints, and Six-Week checkpoints in all four core curriculum areas that are used to measure
student growth and success. Teachers have direct input through the campus’s PLC, where assessment
data is used to plan instruction.
Professional Development:
Professional development is an on-going activity planned with the input of teacher/staff surveys,
requests, and feedback as tracked through Eduphoria. Extensive professional development is provided
for best instructional practices, curriculum development, and special programs. Additional staff
development is tailored to meet students’ individual needs. Kindergarten and T1 teachers received
training during the summer in the Daily 5 management framework. with HS and Pre-K scheduled to be
trained during the fall semester. Staff also received training in Capturing Kids’ Hearts to elevate
academic and behavioral standards.
The Early Childhood Learning Center campus operates as a professional learning community which is a
critical part of ongoing staff development and training activities. Staff development in the areas of
instructional technology and effective discipline techniques remain a critical component of the campus’s
educational process.
Parent and Community Involvement/Communication:
Parents and community members are encouraged to participate by volunteering on the ECLC campus
and by serving on the ECLC Parent Committee, the Head Start Parent Committee and PTO. ECLC
continues to partner with GSC Enterprises through the local Support our Campuses and Kids (SOCKS)
program as Book Buddies. These local business men and women continue to serve as mentors to our
students.
Automated systems such as Skyward, Blackboard Connect and Remind for parent, staff and community
notifications. These are used regularly to efficiently and effectively communicate with parents and
other stakeholders in an expedient manner.
Facilities:
Facilities are reviewed on a regular basis and needs are addressed in a timely manner. The fenced T-ball
area has been relocated. Sprinkler heads have also been replaced as well as interior and exterior touch-
up painting. Classroom signage has also been replaced. Noted was the need for a sidewalk connecting
the visitor parking area and the north crosswalk.
Technology:
As the district continues to progress toward a 1:1 technology initiative for its students, ECLC classrooms
are acquiring additional iPads to be utilized during instruction and WIN time. Kindergarten and T1
classrooms received 4 additional iPads and one laptop for teacher use. The need for additional iPads and
resources for their acquisition were investigated by the campus advisory committee as ECLC continues
to move towards this 1:1 district goal. Kindergarten and T1 classrooms need approximately 225
additional tablets to reach this goal. One hundred and forty iPads were purchased for Pre-K and Head
Start 4 students through the High Quality Pre-K Grant. Head Start 3 classrooms have one first
generation tablet each. PPCD/Special Services classrooms as well as Pre-Kindergarten and Head Start 4
classrooms received Promethean Boards. The campus has also had an infrastructure upgrade resulting
in much improved Wi-Fi capability.
A campus technology committee has been created to address policies and procedures to address cyber
bullying, social networking, and web filters are designed and implemented to keep students safe while
using technology.

meeting the advanced standard, Level 3, performance on STAAR exams. As a result, the district is
focusing its campus based instructional strategies to meet these focused accountability requirements.
b. PBMAS (Performance Based Monitoring Analysis System)
The PBMAS indicated areas for improvement similar to those identified by the state accountability
reports. The PBMAS reported that the district has its greatest need for improvement in the following
areas:
