School Balanced Scorecard 2.0(Single Plan for Student Achievement)School Name: Presidio Middle SchoolGoal 1: Access and Equity- Make Social Justice a RealityWhat does this goal mean at your school? What is the school you aspire to be with respect to access, equity, and social justice?EQUITY means:•Believing that all students have a desire to learn and can achieve•Ensuring that all students get what they need to succeed including access to the standard based curriculumtaught by highly qualified, caring, innovative teachers•Educating the “whole child” – nurturing the physical, emotional, social, and cultural needs of every student•Minimizing obstacles andbarriers to learning•Recognizing individual differences and providing differentiated instruction and support to help all students reach their maximum potentialSOCIAL JUSTICEmeans:•Recognizing the assets of every student and building on their individual strengths through encouragement and mentorship•Promoting critical thinking to enable students to makedecisions and participate fully in culture and democratic process (“citizens of tomorrow”)•Behavioral and academic expectations are high for each and every student and are applied fairlyand consistently•Providing a safe and supportive environment for all studentsDescription of current conditions including data, promising practices or assets your site has in place for this goal.Presidio Middle School is committed to delivering a standards based education of highest quality to all students. We have been successful in meeting this challenge with a student body of1200 students who represent a multicultural population of diverse socioeconomic backgrounds. Nearly 50% of our students are qualified to receive free or reduced lunch. Approximately10% of our students our in Special Education (RSP and SDC) and 10% are English Learners. The school exhibits a great spirit of collaboration between administration and faculty; through aprocess of collaboration we work together to provide a safe and nurturing environment for the students we serve. In addition to the rigorous core curriculum, Presidio is highly regarded fora number of its key programs. Such programs include our outstanding P.E. program including intramural and inter‐mural sports; outdoor team‐building programs for targeted studentsincluding a sailing trip on San Francisco Bay, ropes course, and a backpacking trip to Pt. Reyes; the highly regarded Outdoor Education program involving trips to Yosemite and OlympicNational Parks; its US History Trip where 8th graders travel to Washington D.C., Williamsburg and Yorktown with their Social Studies teachers; its celebrated VAPA program with includesband, jazz band, orchestra, chorus, dance, drama, and art. The Outdoor Education program and US History Trip are open to all students who meet GPA eligibility; 22 PTSA scholarships areawarded to students based on economic need. We also have a distinguished after‐school program sponsored through BEACON which serves approximately 300 students. Eleven Presidioteachers work in this program and provide homework assistance, tutoring, and club activities. Students also have the option of signing up for an array of enrichment, high‐interest classessuch as video production, cooking, board games, dance, art and recreational activities.The 2010 data showed Presidio achieved an API of 871, meeting a growth target of 8. We are also proud that we met the growth target for all schoolwide and subgroups. Our 8th gradescience growth of 5.5% deserves high recognition. However, we need to strengthen our ELD component where we dropped 14%. Presidio has 61 English Learners who scored 3 or less onthe CELDT in 2009‐10. Of these students, 48 scored below proficient on the CST ELA. This may be due in part to the decline in our EL population. When there isn't a concentration ofstudents, they may "get lost in the crowd." We also experienced a decline in the ELA scores of 8th Grade African American students who dropped from 43% to 24%.We celebrate our algebra scores which showed 91.8% proficiency. However, a school wide focus will be to move more students into Algebra which now serves 78% of our studentpopulation. We plan to create two additional algebra classes in General Ed Math classes for students who did not qualify under current eligibility criteria. We will support them through useof ALEKS.Annual measurable objectives and targetsStudent Group Grade Level Content Area Annual Measurable Objective Current Target% %Primary tool for measuring progressduring the yearEnglish Learners All Grades English Language Arts CST Performance-# or % Proficient or Advan15 30 Teacher-made assessmentsHispanic or Latino All Grades English Language Arts CST Performance-# or % Proficient or Advan54 65 Teacher-made assessmentsAfrican American or B All Grades English Language Arts CST Performance-# or % Proficient or Advan48 60 Teacher-made assessmentsAll Students All Grades English Language Arts CST Performance-# or % Proficient or Advan75 80 Teacher-made assessmentsEnglish Learners All Grades Mathematics CST Performance-# or % Proficient or Advan38 48 MAP Common Assessment- MathHispanic or Latino All Grades Mathematics CST Performance-# or % Proficient or Advan47 57 MAP Common Assessment- MathAfrican American or B All Grades Mathematics CST Performance-# or % Proficient or Advan37 47 MAP Common Assessment- MathAll Students All Grades Mathematics CST Performance-# or % Proficient or Advan76 80 MAP Common Assessment- Math

Goal 2: Achievement- Engage High Achieving and Joyful LearnersWhat does this goal mean at your school? What is the school you aspire to be with respect to high achieving and joyful learning?JOYFUL LEARNING leads to HIGH ACHIEVEMENT:•Does not consist of momentary shots of joy which are fleeting and ephemeral, but an underlying contentment with having mastered skillsand seeing growth in one’s own knowledge base, thinking skills, and fluidity of expression•A sense of self‐efficacy•Enthusiasm, active participation, motivated to learn •When it is joyful it isless stressful – students do not seem burdened•It is not given; you must reach for it•Students talking about class subject in free time•Comfortable, positive relationship withteacher•Students not afraid to ask questions•Students “Learn for sake of Learning”•Collegiality between students•When teachers share passion and enthusiasm for subject matter,students enjoy learning•Expansion of ideas leading to creativityDescription of current conditions including data, promising practices or assets your site has in place for this goal.Presidio has a reputation for delivering a rigorous academic program in which students thrive and achieve at levels that exceed the State and District averages. Our master program providesmodified block scheduling organized around interdisciplinary teacher teams in the 6th and 7th grades. This provides a structure whereby teams of teachers can collaboratively apportiontime within the block to explore curriculum content in depth through project based learning and/or traditional learning. We also have a rich and varied elective program in which nearly 85%of our students participate. These classes include VAPA, Computer Technology, Foreign Languages, Yearbook and Home Arts. Teachers have become increasingly concerned that manystudents are denied access to these classes because they are either enrolled in the RSP Study Skills program or the reading and math support program during the regularly scheduled electiveclasses. While we offer chorus before school and there are numerous enrichment opportunities in the after‐school program for these students, many do not participate because of the longdistance they travel to and from school. For those students whose parents are unable to pick them up, the late hour would necessitate traveling on public transportation after dark duringthe winter months, and parents are reluctant to allow this. Many of our teachers have participated in PD to improve instructional delivery and will continue to participate as needed.Annual measurable objectives and targetsStudent Group Grade Level Content Area Annual Measurable Objective Current%All Students All Grades Student engagement # or % of students with Ds and FsTarget%Primary tool for measuring progressduring the yearAdditional annual outcome measures related to this goal(For CDP, list the specific DRDP measures)Annual Measurable Objective 1 refers to Mitchell's 4th period Algebra class which features the use of IPads.

Goal 3: Accountability- Keeping our promises to students and familiesWhat does this goal mean at your school? What is the school you aspire to be with respect to a culture of service and keeping promisesto students and families?We are committed to maintaining high educational and behavioral standards for our students, and to provide curriculum which generates interest, motivates, and challenges studentlearning. We are committed to providing an enrichment program which will expand student learning experiences beyond the traditional classroom environment.We are committed toimprove teaching and learning to enhance the academic achievement and personal development of all students.We are committed to strengthening cooperative actions with parents toenhance and support the well‐being and academic achievement of their children. We believe in the importance of parent involvement and will actively promote two‐waycommunication.We will strive to provide opportunities for families to learn how to help their child succeed in school.We will continue to collaborate with the Beacon After‐School programand Community Based Organizations to provide students with extra support and enrichment opportunities.We will serve as a resource to help parents receive services and support bothinside and outside of the school setting.Description of current conditions including data, and promising practices or assets your site has in place for this goal.We have many practices in place that encourage parent participation and support communication. We publish a weekly parent newsletter which is sent home with the students and is alsopublished on the internet. We actively encourage parent‐teacher conferences, and parent visitations. We send home progress notices weekly to parents of targeted students. We continueto expand our parent email database. In many ways parents are, indisputably, our partners. We hold monthly PTSA, SSC, and ELAC meetings. Each year, the PTSA purchases a studentplanner for every student to record daily homework and study assignments. Parents are actively encouraged to accompany classes on field trips and are partners in our Outdoor Ed Programand East Coast trip. They assist with Student Body activities and organize fund raisers for teacher grants. School counselors are an integral and essential component of our school team. Oursupport services include 3 grade level counselors, .5 LSP, and a head counselor. These counselors help support and promote the academic success of all students and facilitateinteractions/communication between students, teachers, and parents/guardians. This includes student grades, homework/assignments, attendance. Most of our teachers are currentlyusing "School Loop" and we are expecting 100% to be using it by the end of the Fall semester.Annual measurable objective #1: While the SFUSD Family Satisfaction Survey, 2010, shows generally high marks, we have areas in which we should improve. One such area is opportunitiesfor students to participate in at least two community service projects per year. We have joined with the After School Program to provide a Student Activities Advisor to work with StudentGovernment during lunch and after school; projects will include community service.Annual measurable objective #2: Student Satisfaction Survey shows that 32% of the responding students reported that they did not feel safe at school and 48% did not feel that studentsrespect each other. Our goal is to decrease this percentage by at least 10 points.Annual measurable objectives and targetsStudent Group Grade Level Content Area Annual Measurable Objective Current Target Primary tool for measuring progress% % during the yearAll Students All Grades Family Satisfaction Survey 2 3All Students All Grades Student Satisfaction Survey 32 22All Students All Grades Student Satisfaction Survey 48 38Additional tools for measuring family and community participation and satisfaction during the year not listedAnnual Measurable Objective: Percentage of teachers using School Loop for family communication and grades (current: 80%, target: 100%)High leverage strategic actions and key implementation datesStrategic ActionTeachers and counselors will maintain ongoing, timely communication with parents utilizingprogress reports, parent-teacher conferences, telephone contact, and school loop.
