*Needs Assessment: Results of the 2008 FCAT Writing+ Assessment indicate that 94 percent ofstudents have met the required mastery level. All student subgroups met AYPtargets. Test results indicate an average of 4.1 for expository, an average of 4.2for narrative and a combined average of 4.2. These results also indicate the needto improve support skills and conventions in writing to increase student masteryin expository and narrative writing.

*Objective: Given instruction based on the Sunshine State Standards, students in grade fourwill demonstrate their skill proficiency in writing, as evidenced by 90% or more ofstudents maintaining high standards on the 2009 FCAT Writing Assessment.

*Strategies: •Implement the Continuous Improvement Model (CIM) to monitor studentachievement and the instructional program on an on-going basis.(Administration, Instructional Staff) (August-June) •Continue the articulation process weekly among classroom, ELL, CCHL andSWD teachers to plan delivery of instruction and monitor writing pacing.(Administration, Instructional Staff) (August-June) •Promote student participation in writing through contests, journal writing andtechnology assisted publishing on an on-going basis.

IMPLEMENTATION EVALUATION

The school will monitor the School Improvement Plan through curriculum pacing and evaluation calendarsdeveloped at the beginning of each school year. Using the Continuous Improvement Model (CIM),adjustments are made as needed, based on student performance. Debriefing conferences are plannedthroughout the year between administrators, teachers and department leaders to assist with individualclassroom concerns and needs. Grade level articulation, parent workshops and professional developmentare also scheduled based on evaluation outcomes. Stakeholders will monitor all the components of the School Improvement Plan through SIP committeemeetings held during the school year. Revisions and accommodations will be made as needed to ensurefidelity in the SIP implementation. Final evaluations determine the effectiveness of the programs. Areas of strengths and weaknesses areidentified to develop the instructional focus for the following school year. The strengths are reinforced whilethe weaknesses are targeted for improvement.
