1. Monitoring student learning on a timely basis.

Ramirez Elementary has put in place several monitoring systems that allow for continuous output of information that guides teacher and administrators. First, the students are identified using different tools and placed in tiers. Teachers develop heat maps (Lead4ward tool)  for core areas to determine their 3 strongest S.E’s and their three Weakest SE’s a plan is developed to both for re-teaching and regrouping of students based on this data. This tool is used at the beginning on the year and reviewed every six weeks.

Eduphoria is another source of student performance information, data from district and CFA’s are uploaded onto the system to create a chronological history of student performance on assessments. The system allows teacher analysis of data by class, SE, questions answered, etc. Every six weeks, our teachers analyze their classroom data to provide information on grouping and differentiation necessary. Our grade level teams also analyze data and given teacher strengths, distribute students to work with other teachers within the grade level to close the gaps identified in data.

Other monitoring systems include iStation for reading performance, which a state purchased developmental reading program which assess reading level according to national norm referenced standards and also provides practice for students at their level. It is also an intervention tool with minutes of practice recommended by grade level.

Ramirez Elementary also utilizes a leveled reading system based on the Fountas and Pinnell system to develop readers from their current stage. A series of assessments are given throughout the year, initial reading inventory to benchmark readers at the beginning of year, middle of year and end of year. In between these benchmarks our teachers do running records to monitor and check on student progress.

Students that are not meeting school academic or behavior criteria are monitoring via the SST (Student Support Team) process at school, with regular meetings in which all student data is collected and analyzed. The stakeholders at this meeting: administrators, teachers, diagnostician, counselor, parent etc.  and make recommendations be applied in the classroom. This group meets as necessary to report on student progress or to revise strategies that have been put in place. Interventions vary from tier I to tier III.

Teachers have goal setting meetings with parents and also with students. The students monitor their progress against goals established as a group in the primary grades and individual in the intermediate grades. Every student has a data sheet in which all relevant academic data is included. These documents are shared with parents during goals meetings. Data sheets are passed on tot he following year teacher.

At the end of every school year, teachers review the content area checklist that have been developed by content area and alignd to the TEKS. This tool helps teachers make sure students have mastered the necessary skills and knowledge required to move on  and be successful in the next grade.

Ramirez Elementary is an IB  authorized school. The IB philosophy states that Teaching and Learning differentiates instruction to meet students’ learning needs and styles. Essential to the IB philosophy are assessment that aligns with the requirements of the programme; that the school communicates its assessment philosophy, policy and procedures to the school community; the school uses a range of strategies and tools to assess student learning.; The school provides students with feedback to inform and improve their learning; the school has systems for recording student progress aligned with the assessment philosophy of the programme. And most importantly, the school must analyze assessment data to inform teaching and learning. The school must also provide opportunities for students to participate in, and reflect on, the assessment of their work.

As part of our IB Assessment Policy our teachers engage in continuous assessment.

The types of assessment utilized by our school are:

Pre-assessment- Assessments are used before a new stage of learning begins and are necessary for determining student’s prior knowledge and mastery of prior instruction.  Pre-assessments are not graded, but are used solely to plan for future instruction.  After administering pre-assessments, grade level teams analyze the results in relation to the unit planner. Instructional activities and student groups are adjusted based upon pre-assessment data.  Pre-assessments are administered to all students prior to beginning each unit of inquiry.

 

Formative Assessment- Assessment given throughout the unit.  It is connected to instruction and learning to provide instant feedback on the learning process.  This allows teacher and student to guide instruction, giving a glimpse into the effectiveness and enthusiasm of the unit.  Examples are the following:

 

1.       Anecdotal records

2.       Student reflections

3.       Student/teacher feedback

4.       Peer to peer evaluations

5.       Student conversations

6.       Classroom talk

7.       Individual and group information or progress

8.       Skill development

9.       Literacy groups

10.     Questioning

11.     Writing to learn

12.     Collaborative group work

 

Summative Assessment- Assessment given at the end of a unit.  The assessment is thought of before the rest of the unit is created in order to drive the inquiry.  Expectations are clearly defined by the teacher.  Students will have a model and learning strategy to demonstrate the desired results.  This allows the teacher to measure the understanding of the central idea and inquiry points but can also inform and improve student learning and instruction.  It looks like the following:

 

1.       Presentation

2.       Tests

3.       Individual and group projects

 

Assessments are administered at a variety of levels: classroom, grade level common assessments, district-wide assessments, and required state assessments.  The information provided by assessments is analyzed by campus stakeholders in a variety of team meetings (grade level teams, Student Support Team, campus leadership team and vertical teams) and is the basis for all campus decision-making in the areas of core instruction, student support and staff professional development. 

Students and parents and provided with frequent feedback on each student’s progress in order to inform and improve learning.  Feedback is provided to students daily through oral and written teacher feedback, conferences with the teacher, and class discussions.  Formal feedback is provided to parents and students in daily home-school communication folders in all grade levels, during fall and spring goal-setting conferences, on report cards, and through data assessments.  If the need for more frequent communication about a student’s progress arises, an in-person or phone conference between the teacher and parent is arranged

2. Creating systems of intervention to provide students with additional time and support for learning.

Our school has created time within our daily schedule to provide intervention to our students and also enrichment. We have three time blocks in which intervention is offered. Each teacher has additional support during this time with the assistance of an interventionist. Teachers also benefit from interventionist support during another 45 minutes during the day. The identification and placement of students is a process that remains flexible and fluid, allowing for frequent regrouping based on updated student data.

New in 2015 was the training for our Fine Arts teachers, who work with other staff to provide enrichment to our students, in high order thinking skills and numeracy to focus the delivery of enrichment lessons utilizing these insructional strategies. 

3. Building teacher capacity to work as members of high performing collaborative teams that focus efforts on improved learning for all students.

Teachers at Ramirez work in a collaborative group at their grade level and never in isolation. Staff members also participate and hold other responsibilities within the team.

Leadership team

School Leadership Team (SLT): Members work in partnership with the principal to assume collective responsibility for establishing an environment that promotes student and adult growth. Members engage in problem-solving and decision-making processes in line with district and school SMART goals order to move the school’s improvement efforts forward. Team leaders chair meetings and serve as a communication link between the staff and the administration of the school.

Responsibilities of School Leadership Team (SLT)

• Able to see the school’s big picture

• Shares decision making with principal

• Guarantees continued focus on learning and continuous improvement

• Facilitates and guides the work of the collaborative teams

• Supports and monitors the work of the collaborative teams

• Helps monitor student achievement results

• Analyzes data and identifies gaps in performance or processes and plans for their improvement

• Makes sure school’s work is aligned with the district and classroom

Grade Level Teams

Basic responsibilities of team members include:

•        Focus on learning and continuous improvement

•        Are responsible for service and program delivery as it relates to state standards (TEKS), assessment and instruction.

• Monitor student achievement, guarantee classroom learning environment is producing results in line with with the school’s and grade level SMART goals.

Team members utilize the PLC essential questions:

What do we expect our students to learn?    

How will we know they are learning?                

How will we respond when they don’t learn?

How will we respond if they already know it?

• Data interpretation allows identifying gaps in performance or processes and making plans for their improvement

• Grade level’s work is aligned within grade and vertically with grade level before and after

Teachers have two conference periods (45minutes each) on Monday and one conference period Tuesday through Friday. One of the conference periods on Monday is in conjunction with the following grade level to allow for alignment meeting time when necessary. Grade levels also meet once a week for planning after school from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. and the administration team joins the meeting once a month.

Our grade levels also have a whole planning day in which substitutes are brought in to cover their classes, having 5 planning days during the school year. Additional coverage is provided when teams require additional meeting time. Interventionists cover classes to provide the needed coverage.  

Established meeting times are respected by team members and decisions are documented on the PLC minutes form. This document serves to document meeting time but it also serves as a tool for administration to identify support or plan professional development required by each grade level.
