ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS

Coordination and Integration

 

Note: For Title I schools only

Please describe how federal, state, and local services and programs will be coordinated and integrated in the school. Include other Title programs, Migrant and Homeless, Supplemental Academic Instruction funds, as well as violence prevention programs, nutrition programs, housing programs, Head Start, adult education, career and technical education, and/or job training, as applicable.

 

Title I, Part A

Title I, Part A, resources and services will be used to help students achieve a high-quality education and acquire the skills necessary to be successful beyond graduation. Requested resources will be use to hire teachers, provide teacher training, and pay for stipends that focuses on raising student achievement levels. Professional development, such as NG CAR-PD --- content area reading professional development --- will be provided for the faculty members who are current teaching core academic areas other than reading.

 

Title I, Part C- Migrant

Through the Title I, Part C-Migrant Education Program (MEP), funds, services and supports for students and parents have already been satisfied through the district. Because migrant students have the same risk factors as other students and also face further challenges because of their frequent moves, we have established a partnership for liaison and academic services on a needs basis with local office (PAEC) for after-school and week-end tutorials and ESOL strategies classes. PAEC along with the district also promotes the coordination of educational and support services including the timely transfer of academic records.

 

Title I, Part D

The District receives funds from the Prevention and Intervention Programs for Children and Youth who are Neglected, Delinquent, or At-Risk which supports our efforts to improve educational services for such students to have the opportunity to meet the same challenging State academic content standards and challenging State student academic achievement standards that all children in the State are expected to meet; to provide the services needed to make a successful transition from institutionalization to further schooling; to prevent these at-risk youth from dropping out of school; and to provide dropouts, children, and youth returning from correctional facilities or institutions with the follow-up services they need to continue their education and to meet the same challenging state standards required of all students.

 

Title II

District receives funds for developing and implementing initiatives to assist in recruiting and retaining highly qualified teachers (particularly initiatives that have proven effective in retaining highly qualified teachers), and hiring highly qualified teachers, who will be assigned teaching positions within their fields (including recruiting and hiring highly qualified teachers to reduce class size, particularly in the early grades). Funds have also been secured to provide professional development activities. CAR-PD training is being offered through the district and the entire staff has the opportunity to receive it. As a low performing school and the districtâ€TMs only alternative school site, we are also proposing to use funds to improve student academic achievement through K-12 school reform particularly as it relates to teacher professional development and the infusion of innovative and engaging technology-based learning tools and digital content. Technology-based programs for teachers and students include FCAT Explorer for test preparation, Florida Achieve (assessments), Accelerated Reader (intervention, assessment, and monitoring), Performance Matters(assessment and progress monitoring), READ 180 and EDGE (reading supplement and intervention), SuccessMaker (reading and mathematics) and OdysseyWare (course credit recovery).

 

Title III

Services are provided through the district to help ensure ELLs attain English proficiency, achieve at high academic levels in English, and meet the same challenging state academic content and student academic achievement standards as all other students.

 

Title X- Homeless

District Homeless Liaison Coordinator and District Social Worker both team together to provide resources (clothing, tutorials, social services referrals --- medical, dental, mental, domestic violence, etc., school supplies, etc.) for students identified as homeless under the Mc-Kinney-Vento Act to eliminate barriers for a free and appropriate education.

 

Supplemental Academic Instruction (SAI)

The districtâ€TMs academic intervention programs and funds are coordinated through the Title I program. SAI funds are used to help students gain at least a year of knowledge for each year in school and to help students not to be left behind. SAI providers have been contracted to offer eligible students supplemental instruction strategies including, but not limited to reading instruction, after-school instruction, tutoring, mentoring and intensive skills development in summer school and other methods to improve student achievement. Additionally, the school has begun its 21st Century Community Learning Centers and SES after-school tutorials and programs. The 21st CCLC program will target elementary, middle and high school students exclusively for academic enrichment and recreation.

 

Violence Prevention Programs

The school offers a number of preventative non-violence measures to combat violence among its students including the following: partnerships with local law enforcement agencies; teen court program; a school resource officer; three security officers; gang-resistance officer on call; administrator for discipline; and in-school suspension teacher; implementation of the district student code of conduct, including a bullying policy; restriction of use of cell phones on campus; faculty and staff duty assignments before, during and after-school; and the wearing of school uniforms (both students and staff throughout the school).

 

Nutrition Programs

The school and district participate in the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and School Breakfast Program (SBP) which assist in providing nutritious meals to children at a reasonable price or reduced cost or free. In addition to financial assistance, the School Lunch Program provides donated commodity foods to help reduce lunch program costs. All students are encouraged to participate to minimize the stress and anxiety often associated with hunger during the school day. Breakfast is free on a daily basis for all students regardless of economic status.

Based on the analysis of student achievement data, and reference to "Guiding Questions", identify and define areas in need of improvement for the following group:

1. Students scoring at Achievement Level 3 in Biology.

Biology Goal #1:

By May 2013, 25% of CPA Biology students will score a Level 3 in Science on FCAT 2.0. (Baseline)

State mean score was 50 on 2012 EOC assessment; CPA students had a mean scale score of 40. Students struggled with Biology EOC assessed content basically because they lack the necessary vocabulary acquisition and were below grade level in reading comprehension. Tasks involving comparing, differentiating, relating structure and functions, identifying supporting evidence, analyzing, evaluating impact, and determining conditions, also posed great challenges.

2012 Current Level of Performance:

2013 Expected Level of Performance:

Baseline will be established. Of the 11 tenth grade students tested: 0% scored at level 3; 38% scored at level 2 (4 students).

10th grade - 25% (6 of 22 students)

In addition to the elements of focus, organization, support, and conventions described in the FCAT 2.0 writing rubrics, scoring decisions now include increased attention to the correct use of standard English conventions (scoring previously applied with leniency) and to the quality of details; the quality of the support depends on word choice, specificity, depth, relevance, and thoroughness; required use of relevant, logical, and plausible support.

Instruct and have students to model the following expectation through scheduled Mock FCAT 2.0 Writing administrations (quarterly) for grades 4-12: For the 60-minute timed writing assessment, students are expected to read the prompt independently and to plan the response according to the topic and purpose for writing (grade 4 narrative or expository, grades 8 and 10 persuasive or expository). After planning, the student should draft the response while using a continual process of revision, checking to be sure that the writing is clear and effective. Finally, the student should proofread and edit for the correct use of standard English conventions.

Civics Goal #1:

By spring 2013, 35% (6/17) of seventh grade students will scored at achievement level 3 or above on the Civics EOC assessment.

For success, civics curriculum:
1) should be placed in a real-world context unless otherwise noted in the individual benchmark specifications. The context should lead the student cognitively to the question.
2) or any other subject-area curriculum thatâ€TMs of moderate and high cognitive complexity pose a challenging level difficulty for at-risk students who are currently performing below proficiency (96%)
3) should use background knowledge of subject and related content areas, pre-reading strategies, graphic representations, and knowledge of text structure to make and confirm complex predictions of content, purpose, and organization of a subject-area reading selection.

The Grades 9â€"12 American History course consists of the following content area strands: American History, Geography, and Humanities. The primary content emphasis for this course pertains to the study of American history from Reconstruction to the present day. Students should be exposed to the historical, geographic, political, economic, and sociological events which influenced the development of the United States and the resulting impact on world history. So that students can clearly see the relationship between cause and effect in historical events, students should have the opportunity to review those fundamental ideas and events, which occurred before the end of Reconstruction as well. The scope and sequence of courses for 6-12 students should seamlessly include curriculum that address the above so that the focus is not limited to content but reading proficiency as well.

Assure that students are adequately prepared for assessment by extending new curriculum into the middle school years and incorporate the U. S. History curriculum into middle school beginning at the sixth grade level (one quarter to one semester prior to promotion to seventh grade) to reduce the potential of a high rate of retentions.
