Statement of Quality Assurance

Effective and timely use of data allows systems to make decisions to best utilize those interventions that are having a positive impact on

student achievement. To ensure that school improvement stakeholders have a common understanding regarding the development and

implementation of the Continuous School Improvement Plan prior to its approval, each party is asked to carefully review this section

and the plan in its entirety.

Annual Action Plan RUBRIC

6/14/2012

This document is a draft of the Annual Action Plan Rubric. It is designed to serve as the monitoring tool used to determine the depth and rigor of the content of the Annual Action Plan for all 50 schools. There are a total of 9 indicators.

identification of the 4 types of

data to inform the development

of the Annual Action Plan.

There is some evidence of the

school leadership team

members using 1-2 types of

data to inform the development

of the Annual Action Plan.

Some teachers, leadership

team members and

administrators review data to

include but not limited to

(Student learning

All teachers, leadership team members and

LK Instructional Leadership 1.2 Analyzes current academic achievement data and instructional strategies to make appropriate educational

decisions to improve classroom instruction, increase student achievement and improve overall school effectiveness.

LK Planning and Assessment 3.9 Uses assessment information in making recommendations or decisions that are in the best interest of the

learner/school/district.

P 1.2 Analyzing data to prioritize needs. Not Addressed Emergent Operational Fully Operational No formalized and systematic

data analysis process is in place

that allows the school to

prioritize needs based on

student learning questions,

demographic questions,

perception data questions or

process data questions.

Although student achievement

summative data is included as

part of the school analysis

process, no comprehensive

review of student learning

(achievement) demographic,

perception, or process data is

evident.

We look at the students failing

and meet with them to provide

support and to emphasize the

amount of responsibility they

have with their grades. We talk

about the supports in place for

them and offer tutoring.

A formalized and systematic

review of data to include but

not limited to student learning

(achievement), demographic,

perception data, or process data

is evident. Greater emphasis

should be given to deeper

questioning of these types of

data targeted to determine

student’s overall strengths and

areas of need and trends for the

last 3 years. Identify processes

that create barriers to student

learning, maximize student

learning, determine data

sources that align with

perceptions, or demographic

data that influences school

wide policies and procedures.

A formalized and systematic review of data

that includes student learning (achievement),

demographic, perception, and process is fully

operational in all aspects of the Annual

Improvement Plan. Through the exhaustive

questioning of these various data sources the

school is poised to address barriers to student

achievement and identify methods to

maximize student achievement. This process

for analyzing data will ensure that individual

learners, subgroups of students and the

school community as a whole are successful.

is required? Where it is required? Who should do it? When is it required? Planning Standard 1: Collecting and analyzing all appropriate data, determining root causes and SMART goals? LK Instructional Leadership 1.7 Works collaboratively with staff to identify needs and to design, revise, and monitor instruction to ensure

effective delivery of the required curriculum.

P 1.3 Determine potential root causes. Not Addressed Emergent Operational Fully Operational Determination of potential root

causes is not evident at the

school level within the Annual

Action Plan. Hence, the

school’s plan is not reflective

of identification of possible

causes from the data or if adult

practices or student practices

are the cause of the data.

Determination of potential root

causes is apparent in some

aspects of the Annual Action

Plan at a cursory level. More

emphasis in determining

possible causes of this data and

influential impacts on the data

would yield greater results.

Determination of potential root

causes is apparent in most of

the Annual Action Plan beyond

the cursory level identifying

actual causes of the data. It is

evident that the school has

identified possible causes of

their data as evidenced in their

goal setting, strategies or

interventions employed.

We identified where we are as

a school, and infused

vocabulary development and

analyzing the data. We look at

the data from the CRCT and

determine the root causes –

behavior, absenteeism, etc.

Determination of potential root causes is

apparent in all aspects of the Annual Action

Plan identifying actual causes of the data. It

is evident that the school has identified

possible causes of their data as evidenced in

the goal setting, strategies and interventions

employed.

QAP Quarterly Action Plan

Rationale:

This tool is designed to provide a systemic approach to ensuring the monitoring and allocation of support and

resources to all schools in Henry County. Moreover, through this monitoring process led by the Executive Officers

(of each respective area) in conjunction with school-based leaders (principals) provides the foundation for

ensuring the following:

Develop knowledge and skills to monitor and improve group processes (i.e. leadership teams, data teams,

departments, etc.)

Align professional learning with expected adult outcomes

Describe desired classroom practices and communicate how these practices connect to the school

improvement goals

Monitor a comprehensive plan for conducting ongoing evaluation of the impact of professional

development on teacher practices and student achievement

Use and maximize the use of technology available to enhance teaching strategies and student achievement

How the Quarterly Action Plans will impact and guide the following components necessary for Continuous

Improvement efforts in the district:

AST (Area Support Team) (Mr. Greg Benton, Dr. Raymond Bryant, Jr., Mr. Philip Mellor)

o Data and trends extrapolated by review of QAP’s will be shared, discussed and acted upon

appropriately by AST members

o Provides central guidance and focus for AST members to align themselves with school needs and

areas of support

o Determines/guides level of support providing by AST including time (frequency and duration) and

resources

Content Coordinators, Title, CTAE (Dr. Don Warren)

o Timely review of QAP’s to discuss trends, initiative implementation challenges and/or successes

germane to content coordinators, CTAE and Title 1.

o Provides evidence of successes/challenges of district and school initiatives and subsequent district

level response

o Determines or guides allocation of human, technological or other resources to schools

SACS/AdvanceED (Mr. Tony Pickett)

o Provides systemic process for monitoring implementation of district strategies and initiatives at

district level

o Tangible artifact that yields evidence of challenges and successes with initiatives
