Georgia Department of EducationTitle I Schoolwide/School Improvement PlanSWP Template Instructions All components of a Title I Schoolwide Program Plan and a School Improvement Planmust be addressed. When using SWP and SIP checklists, all components/elementsmarked as “Not Met” need additional development. Please add your planning committee members on the next page. The first ten components in the template are required components as set forth in Section1114 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA). Please submit your School Improvement Plan as an addendum after the header page inthis document.Georgia Department of EducationApril 2015 Page 2 of 29

Georgia Department of EducationTitle I Schoolwide/School Improvement PlanSWP/SIP Components1.A comprehensive needs assessment of the entire school, (including taking into accountthe needs of migratory children as defined in Section 1309(2)) that is based on information whichincludes the achievement of children in relation to the state academic content standards and thestate student academic achievement standards described in Section 1111(b)(1).A. We have developed our schoolwide plan with the participation of individuals who willcarry out the comprehensive schoolwide/school improvement program plan. Thosepersons involved were: Dontae Andrews, Candace Sagers, Stephanie Smith, DawnRobinson-McDonald, Tope Harris, Brenda Walker, Aundrea Whitehead, Eric Thomas,Bridgette Samuel, Dr. Kris Mullis, and Lucretia Ford. The ways they were involvedinclude drafting a skeleton of the SWP (Dr. Andrews, Dr. Sagers, Dr. McDonald, Mrs.Ford, & Ms. Siddiqui. The skeleton version of the SWP was given to the remainder of theSWP team for additional suggestions and feedback. Finally, the SWP was revised toreflect the suggestions and feedback given.Dontae M.

We have used the following instruments, procedures, or processes to obtain thisinformation . . .As a part of strategic planning, the Avondale Elementary School Improvement PlanningCommittee developed a comprehensive needs assessment by analyzing various types ofdata throughout the school year (Georgia Milestones, GKIDS, ACCESS, and UniversalScreener).Georgia Milestones- The Georgia Milestones measures how well students in grades 3-12have learned the knowledge and skills outlined in the state-adopted content standards inlanguage arts, mathematics, science, and social studies.GKIDS- The Georgia Kindergarten Inventory of Developing Skills (GKIDS) is a yearlong, performance-based assessment aligned to the state mandated content standards. Thegoal of the assessment program is to provide teachers with information about the level ofinstructional support needed by individual students entering kindergarten and first grade.Georgia Department of EducationApril 2015 Page 4 of 29

Georgia Department of EducationTitle I Schoolwide/School Improvement PlanMeasurable Objectives Addressed Increase the number of students who meet/exceed in Mathematics on the spring 2016Georgia Milestones Assessment by 5%. Reduce the number of Level 1 students in Science on the spring 2016 GeorgiaMilestones Assessment by 5%. Increase the number of students who meet/exceed in Social Studies on the spring 2016Georgia Milestones Assessment by 5%. Increase the number of students who meet/exceed in Reading on the spring 2016Georgia Milestones Assessment by 5%.Instructional Strategies Chosen To Address Need Supplemental Title I Funded Staff: Academic Data CoachParaprofessional Providing after school tutorial programThe after school program will be an additional safety net for remediation of standardsin Reading and English Language Arts. The additional reading time will help toincrease literacy comprehension, information and media literacy, and sentenceconstruction. Maintaining additional math time will help to increase numbers andoperations, measurement and data analysis, geometry, and algebra. The academic datacoach will provide professional learning to the faculty based on assessment needs,observations, and teacher input on areas that need improvement.The ways in which we will address the needs of all children in the school, particularlythe needs of students furthest away from demonstrating proficiency related to theState’s academic content, and student academic achievement standard are as follows:Examples: Data analysis from Common Assessments, Early Literacy/Numeracy, and STARMath, and other classroom assessments Common planning Adjust content, process, product, and learning environment as needed Differentiation of instruction based on skill level, exceptionality, or learning style Centers/workstations Small groups/guided reading and math operationsGeorgia Department of EducationApril 2015 Page 13 of 29
