2009-2010 Comprehensive District Improvement Plan - Jefferson ...

JEFFERSON COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS
COMPREHENSIVE DISTRICT IMPROVEMENT PLAN:
STRATEGIC PLAN FOR 2009-10 AND BEYOND
Goal 3: Strengthen Organizational Culture
We will foster an organizational culture that builds community among families, businesses, organizations and
schools. We will stimulate the creation of caring, respectful and culturally-responsive classroom communities
that empower all students and employees to be successful and to have a voice and opportunities to practice
leadership and civic engagement.
Strategy 6: Address Disparities in Student Outcomes
We will strengthen our implementation of differentiated instructional practices and strategic interventions. We
will apply a systemic assessment process that includes balanced assessment, paired with the Response to
Intervention (RtI) process, as a framework to reduce academic and social/cultural gaps. We will assist students
in understanding their strengths and challenges so they can self-advocate and take charge of their own learning
experiences. For students identified via ongoing analysis of data as being at risk, we will intentionally intervene
to reduce suspensions and retentions and to increase attendance. We will reinforce these efforts through high
expectations paired with individualized and personalized instruction and support.

ACTION STEPS IMPLEMENTER(S) START BY FINISH BY
1. Assist schools in analyzing diagnostic formative and
summative data to determine which
interventions/skills/strategies should be focused on
during instruction for struggling students, particularly for
schools not meeting their achievement gap goals.
2. Utilize CASCADE to collect data regarding the use of
specific interventions and conduct a review of
strategies/materials currently in place to determine
impact on student progression and closing the
achievement gap.
3. Continue the collaborative partnership among Literacy,
Math/Science, ESL, Title I and ECE departments to
provide professional development on the use of
differentiated instructional strategies during
implementation of District curriculum/programs to
impact the achievement of struggling students,
particularly for schools not meeting all of their goals.
4. Implement Response to Intervention (RtI) process in all
elementary schools and in pilot middle and high
schools in the area of reading, focusing on the
development of personalized intervention plans, goal
setting with progress monitoring, and graphing of
student data.
