Davenport Community Schools: 2016 State of The District

2016
State
of the
District

The Davenport Community Schools is
an extraordinarily dynamic institution,
filled with amazing student successes
as well as great challenges. We are
known for comprehensive instructional
design, career exploration, expansive
extracurricular experiences, 21st century
learning environments, and a caring
staff with innovative leadership.
These strengths produce amazing results. Our students
accomplish great things on the local, state, national, and
even international stage, many of which are detailed in this
annual State of the District report. Achievement scores and
other measures of success have improved dramatically over
the past 5 years, but we’re not satisfied with progress over
just the long-term. We believe EVERY child can learn and
reach their full potential, and that we should see growth
among our students every year.
Toward this end, the school board and district leadership
are calling for a renewed focus on the basics of strong
instructional practices and meaningful assessment tools,
while providing multi-tiered student supports and high
expectations for behavior in our classrooms and schools.
A comprehensive Teaching and Learning Plan that supports
these ideals will guide our work over the next several years,
but we can’t do it alone. Broad community and family
support is vital to our mission: to enhance each student’s
abilities by providing a quality education enriched by our
diverse community.
Thank you for your ongoing interest in and support of our
schools and programs. I hope you enjoy and will share this
publication and celebrate with us some of the remarkable
results that make the Davenport Community Schools a
District of Distinction.
2016 STATE OF THE DISTRICT
Comprehensive Instructional Design
In Davenport Community Schools, education is tailored
to meet the needs of and inspire each student. Quality
educational experiences provide the fundamentals while
exploring innovative teaching methods from early
childhood education to graduation and beyond.
Early Childhood programs serve students ages three
through five in our Children’s Village full-day or two-hour
programs staffed by teachers certified in early childhood
education. The district collaborates with over 25 community
partners, including Davenport Diocesan schools, with
training, curriculum support, and evaluation to serve over
a thousand four-year-olds across the community.
Elementary School content is driven by a comprehensive
approach to reading and math instruction. Language
Essentials provide explicit diagnostic tools and strategies to
address deficits. Students explore their abilities and their
world through problem-based and experiential learning,
offered during core day, after school, and in the summer. The
district offers a summer Reading Academy, credit recovery
programs, and the Stepping Stones collaboration with ISU
Extension and Davenport Parks and Recreation, providing
award-winning afterschool and summer enrichment.
Intermediate Level provides more independence and
leadership opportunities for students with the introduction
of specialized programs like Advancement Via Individual
Determination (AVID) and new extracurricular opportunities,
student government, and after school robotics clubs,
all with the goal of expanding skills in decision-making,
self-reflection, and team work. The Creative Arts Academy
offers a rigorous arts-integrated curriculum and intensive,
project-based activities that develop 21st century skills.
High School students can pick their school to select
offerings based on their skills and interests. High schools
offer a mix of core coursework, liberal arts, and technical
classes, each school with diverse experiences and distinct
identities. Full-time Talented and Gifted teachers at each
traditional high school foster the abilities of high-achieving
students with challenging, project-based learning. 15 AP
and 58 dual credit courses also allow students to earn
college credit at no cost.
This comprehensive instructional design results in
incredible academic accomplishments by the students of
the Davenport Community Schools, culminating in the
high school years:
• Central’s Graham Atkinson and Anthony Vieger were
Semifinalists in the National Merit Scholar Program,
recognizing academically talented seniors.
• 100% of West’s Advanced Placement Spanish class
earned a 3 or higher on the 2015 exam. At North High,
100% of AP Biology students and Honors Calculus class
passed their AP exam.

college-level classes resulting in a certified associate degree
at no cost to families.
• The INSPIRE Academy at West High features career

a rigorous capstone experience that challenges teams to
solve a real-world problem through technology.
These and many other offerings in the Davenport
Community Schools have received broad recognition and
provided students opportunities to compete among the
best in the nation:
• West received a Governor’s STEM Advisory Council
grant, one of only 12 statewide, to create a model business
partnership to immerse high schoolers in the business
environment and explore manufacturing careers.

Caring Staff and Innovative Leadership
The heart of the Davenport Community Schools is the
teaching and learning that occurs every day in our classrooms.
The success of classroom teachers is fostered by a supportive
building climate, a district-wide support system ensuring
high quality instruction and responsive student interventions.
Principals serve as instructional leaders, and curriculum
specialists provide professional development and ensure
implementation of curriculum.
The Teacher Leadership program creates a culture where
teachers work collectively to analyze and improve their
instructional practice through peer observation and
collaboration. This work is supported by a committed and
innovative school board and administration that ensures
classroom and school leaders have resources, including
continuing the fight to address inequality in state funding
and challenge state-imposed spending limits.

STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT
Academic Achievement in the Davenport Community Schools
Achievement in the Davenport Community Schools over
the past 5 years shows tremendous growth, in particular in
foundational skills at the elementary and intermediate level.
Student growth in both reading and math has increased in
grades K-8 across the 5 year trend at every school in the
district, some as much as 20-30%:
District reading leaders attribute the growth to a more
sophisticated approach to intervention among struggling
learners that focuses on foundational skills. Interventions
include:
• 95% Group strategies that give teachers explicit tools to
address students’ deficits
• Language Essentials training that helps tailor these
strategies based on individual student needs
• Reading Interventionists and specialized staff working
with targeted students in small group and one-on-one
settings and summer reading instruction
• Support for classroom teachers with Reading
Instructional Coaches and teacher modelling through
the new Teacher Leadership program
High school achievement is measured through Iowa
Assessments, National Clearinghouse data, advanced Level
Coursework, and the ACT, or American College Testing.
High school achievement continues to grow, particularly
as reflected on the ACT. All three traditional high schools
had 5 year highs in ACT composite scores with all schools
exceeding the national score.
The district exceeded national average in all four ACT
subject matters, including:
• College English Comp
• College Algebra
• College Social Science
• College Biology
Davenport Community Schools is lowering its high school
student dropout rate. The rate reflects the percentage of
students in grades 9-12 who drop out of school during a
single year, which has decreased the past 5 years through
an integrated family support system.
Though trend line data across the long run is strong for all
grade levels, last year achievement levelled off in the district.
Among all the efforts already in place, district leaders are
committed to a renewed focus and strategy to heighten
urgency around the basics of teaching and learning.
3rd grade reading growth data not available in 2016
3rd grade math growth data not available in 2016
Math leaders also attribute the growth over the 5 year
trend to strong Professional Development for teachers,
in particular the 2013 rise in achievement at the middle
school level, when teachers met in grade level teams for
training on math strategies.
Curriculum leaders are looking toward the future with a
new math curriculum implemented this past year called
Envision. Though scores showed the initial dip that is
expected with any new curriculum, expanded training
will bring deeper implementation and increased student
success. In reading, the focus on fundamentals will take a
next step. With over 90% average on accuracy currently in
grades 1st through 5th district-wide, classroom instruction
will begin the shift to fluency strategies and, ultimately, on to
comprehension and vocabulary development. This continuum
supports students through the secondary transition and
the more rigorous coursework of the upper grades.
Accuracy Fluency Comprehension
Other measures of success in our high schools include:
• Dropout rate went from 5.89% to 3.9%
• 4 year graduation rate held steady
• 5 year graduation rate increased from 83.23 to 85.9

Renewed Focus on Fundamentals
This past summer the Davenport Community
Schools adopted a new Teaching and Learning Plan
that creates four pillars that are core elements of
student success:
• Core Instructional Practice
• Standards-Based Assessment and Reporting
• Multi-Tiered System of Support for struggling
learners
• The Davenport Way, setting behavior expectations
and support for classroom management
This Teaching and Learning Plan gets “back to basics”
on effective instruction and student supports to
allow school and district leaders to reinforce and
invest in best practice in Davenport classrooms.

TEACHING AND LEARNING
The Davenport Community Schools
Teaching and Learning Plan
Developed in the Spring of 2016, the Davenport Community
Schools Teaching and Learning Plan serves as a framework
for best practices in education and classroom management.
The framework includes four elements under which the
work of our schools are organized. These four pillars include:
• Instructional Practices
• Multi-Tiered System of Support
• Standards-Based Assessment and Reporting
• The Davenport Way
Instructional Practices
The category Instructional Practices focuses on teachers’
growth and development through research-based best
practices and integrated technology resources. Teachers
have a structured network of support through meaningful
teacher relationships, including the Teacher Leadership
Program, which promote collaboration, reflection, and
growth of shared instructional practices. This pillar ensures
that instruction in all Davenport classrooms is targeted
and tailored to student needs while being innovative and
engaging to all learners.
Multi-Tiered System of Support for Students (MTSS)
This process includes engaging a school’s staff in a collective
process which will guarantee every student receives time
and support to meet their academic and behavior needs.
Collaborative teams identify essential knowledge and skills
that all students must master, analyze targeted evidence to
determine specific learning needs of students, and plan for
interventions and extended learning to support essential
learning standards.
Standards-Based Assessment and Reporting (SBAR)
Standards based assessment and reporting allows an
educational system to have a clearly articulated K-12
curriculum and to understand the extent to which students
are mastering subject matter. This system is built through
the process of prioritizing standards, creating proficiency
scales, and writing common assessments. The process
leads to a clear understanding of what teachers will teach
and what students will know and be able to demonstrate.
A clearly articulated curriculum allows teachers to accurately
and reliably monitor, provide feedback to students, and
communicate student progress.
The Davenport Way
The Davenport Community Schools also supports its teachers
and students with The Davenport Way Behavior Support
System. The Davenport Way is a district-wide approach that
offers a variety of resources, strategies, structures, and
practices to support student achievement with a focus on
setting clear expectations and improving student behavior.
This year, under the Davenport Way initiative, the district:
• Began training and supporting 21 buildings, preschool –
12th grade, in Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports
(PBIS) and continued district-wide training in Boys Town
School-Wide Classroom Management protocols.
• Expanded program coaches for behavior, life skills, and early
childhood, and expanded behavior and life skills programs.
• Worked collaboratively on Project Aware and Gear Up
Grants, creating access for families and students to mental
health services and postsecondary career/college information.
• Provided financial and referral support to 115 students to
receive mental health services that were previously unable
to afford it/obtain it.
• Provided Trauma Informed Care training, Youth Mental
Health Training to 155 staff and community members, and
trained seven DCSD staff as official Youth Mental Health
First Aid Facilitators.
• Developed collaborative Suicide Prevention and
Intervention Protocol for Scott County Schools and youth
service organizations.
• Worked with the School Board to develop best practices
for supporting transgender students.
• Identified and served nearly 300 students experiencing
homelessness.
For some students, a specialized learning environment is
needed. The Davenport Way also includes intervention
programs and alternative settings, including:
• Credit Recovery programs provide computer-based
instruction and supportive staff to assist students in attaining
high school credit during the school year and over the
summer in targeted deficit areas.
• School-Within-A-School and Diversion programs allow
potentially disruptive students to remain in their school
but learn in a smaller class size with more structured
activities and behavior expectations.
• Keystone Academy opened in the Fall of 2014 and serves
250 students with a variety of emotional and behavioral
needs with the goal of returning students to the traditional
school setting.
Family and Community Engagement
The Teaching and Learning Plan incorporates the science
of learning while addressing the need for emotional and
behavioral supports for students. With achievement scores
levelling out, district administrators recognize that they can’t
do it alone… we must rely on families and community to
make education a top priority for youth. Family engagement,
collaboration with community agencies and neighbors,
volunteerism in schools, support from funders, and the
role of community leaders in supporting public schools…
all are critical to student success. Some notable family
and community collaborations include:
• In the Superintendent’s Community Liaison program,
citizens act as a bridge to the school for disenfranchised
youth and families, serving as advocate and facilitator to
keep families engaged in the education of their child.
• Achievement Gap Action Plan identifies students for
intensive behavior, attendance, and academic interventions,
exploring systemic issues like cultural competency of staff,
curriculum, kindergarten readiness, and family supports.
• The Graduation Alliance Program serves students
who have previously dropped out with specialized
community-based coaching and credit recovery services.
• Agency partnerships are led by the Network of Community
Schools Partnerships, representing parents, community
members, and nearly 40 youth service organizations.
• A new Community Schools model in several schools
integrates family supports, afterschool programs, health
services, and more.
• Collaboration with the City of Davenport expands student
resources including free CitiBus services. A partnership
with Parks and Rec’s AmeriCorps program provides
additional student supports. Davenport Reads, a joint
project sponsored by the City, school district, and Eastern
Iowa Community Colleges, offers reading resources across
the community.
• The work of the Davenport School Board is guided by
two student-centered priorities: enhancing a positive
school climate and reducing the impact of poverty on
student achievement. The Board leads a community
Poverty Committee that identifies and addresses barriers
to learning.
