    entire school.)

2.  The school has not been in school improvement status or been
    identified by the state as \"persistently dangerous\" within the
    last two years. To meet final eligibility, the school must meet the
    state's adequate yearly progress requirement in the 2005-2006 school
    year.

3.  If the school includes grades 7 or higher, it has foreign language
    as a part of its core curriculum.

4.  The school has been in existence for five full years, that is, from

**PART III -- SUMMARY**

Key Biscayne K-8 Center is a Miami-Dade public school located on a
barrier island in Key Biscayne, Florida. The school is nestled amid palm
trees and surrounding beaches in a fast growing and changing community.
Originally a coconut plantation, Key Biscayne became the home of the
elementary Key Biscayne Community School in l952. Forty-seven years
later, Key Biscayne became the first pilot K-8 Center in Miami-Dade
County. Presently, it serves students from pre-kindergarten through
eighth grade. The population is culturally diverse and represents all
socio-economic levels. Eleven percent of the student body is enrolled as
out of area transfers. The school has a Pre-Kindergarten program, and
also offers a community school program where students and community
members participate in various after-school and evening programs, such
as Spanish, English for Speakers of Other Languages, German, Reading
Adventure, piano, guitar, judo, cheerleading, and sports such as soccer,
basketball, and volleyball. Key Biscayne K-8 Center enjoys a
collaborative system of leadership that includes representatives from
all stakeholder groups in its primary decision-making group, the
Educational Excellence School Advisory Council (EESAC).

Unique to Key Biscayne is high parental involvement and a strong
PTA/Volunteer Program. Our PTA helps sponsor and promote our Annual
Dinner/Dance/Auction and Family Fun Picnic. Over 300 volunteers serve
countless hours assisting teachers, chaperoning, fundraising, and
organizing various student recognition programs. To further increase
parental involvement and communication, we communicate via e-mail, our
Wednesday Communicator envelope, our school web page, Parent Internet
Viewer (PIV), PTA newsletter, school-wide monthly calendars and middle
school quarterly assignment calendars. We also conduct a parent resource
fair and orientation at the beginning of the year.

We are fortunate to have business community leaders that support our
school's endeavors. In turn, our students contribute to the community by
participating in various drives for food, toys, books, clothing, and
tabs for the Ronald McDonald House. Through the service club, students
read to the blind/deaf children, create Thanksgiving baskets for the
needy, visit the elderly at a convalescent home, and partake in the
United Way Campaign. At the core of Key Biscayne K-8 Center is our
Character Development Program that complements our academic curriculum
and enables us to teach the whole child. This is reflected in our
school's vision to promote a community of lifelong learners and caring
individuals. To support this curriculum, our school sponsors an array of
programs like Girl Talk, Boys' Team, DARE, Bullying and Drug Prevention,
Safety Programs, Classroom Guidance Programs, Student of the Month,
Character in Action, Do the Right Thing, Good Neighbor, Knitting Club,
Chess Club, Young Artists Exhibit, Winter and Spring Musical
Performances, Accelerated Reader (AR) Recognition, Spelling Bee, Science
Fair, Family Night at the Museum of Science, Holiday Program, Spring
Talent Show, Field Day, Student Council, Future Teachers of America, and
National Junior Honor Society.

Key Biscayne provides various extended learning opportunity models to
meet the needs of all our students and comply with the No Child Left
Behind legislation. We put into service an Inclusion program for our
Exceptional Student Education (ESE) students. In 2005-2006, the Extended
Foreign Language (EFL) Program was implemented for grades K-2. To
further develop and challenge students performing at high levels of
achievement, our school offers the Gifted Program and Advanced Academics
Program. We operate a before, during, and after school tutorial program
for elementary and middle school students and offer intensive reading
and mathematics to meet the needs of at risk students.

Our school's mission is to provide a nurturing, respectful, and safe
environment where all students have opportunities to achieve academic
excellence and attain social-emotional well-being. Key Biscayne K-8
Center is committed to developing critical thinkers and lifelong
learners who make responsible decisions and embrace global citizenship.
It is the continuous commitment to excellence from our administrators,
faculty, staff, students, parents, volunteers, and community that has
earned us a school grade of "A" for the fifth year and Adequate Yearly
Progress (AYP) for the past two years. This reflects our constant effort
to implement the Continuous Improvement Model to help all students
become higher achievers. As a result of our successes, many new K-8
centers are being established throughout the district.

**PART IV -- INDICATORS OF ACADEMIC SUCCESS**

**1. Assessment Results**

The Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT) is used to measure
student achievement in the State of Florida. This annual assessment is
comprised of two parts: FCAT-NRT, which is the norm-reference section
designed to compare student performance in reading and mathematics with
other students nationwide; and FCAT-SSS, the criterion-reference section
which is designed to measure students' knowledge of reading,
mathematics, writing, and science as outlined in the Florida Sunshine
State Standards. Presently, students in grades 4, 8, and 10 take FCAT
Writing+, and grades 3-10 take FCAT-NRT and FCAT-SSS in Reading and
Mathematics. The State of Florida implemented the FCAT Science Test in
grades 5, 8, and 11. As part of Miami-Dade County Public Schools'
(M-DCPS) requirements, second grade students take the Grade 2 Stanford
Achievement Test, 10^th^ Edition.

The FCAT-SSS Reading and Mathematics provides two scores, the
developmental scale score (0-3000), which determines a student's annual
progress from one grade to the next grade and the scale score (100-500),
which is used for comparisons. These scores correspond to five
achievement levels: Levels 1 and 2 (at risk), Level 3 (meets state
standards), and Levels 4 and 5 (exceeds state standards). Information on
the state assessment system, along with FCAT results, can be found at
[http://fcat.fldoe.org/]{.underline} and
[http://osp.dadeschools.net](http://osp.dadeschools.net/)[/products/ONLINE/info/]{.underline}.

Over the last four years, we have shown significant increase in the
percentage of students scoring Level 3 and above in both elementary and
middle school grades. In reading, the elementary average went from 71%
to 84% and the middle school average went from 56% to 73%. In math, the
elementary average went from 72% to 87% and the middle school average
went from 61% to 81%. In writing, the elementary average went from 3.9
to 4.3 and the middle school average went from 4.1 to 4.5. Since the
introduction of the FCAT Science Test, Key Biscayne's mean scale scores
for science have repeatedly exceeded the district mean scale score of
286 and state mean scale score of 296. Our school's scale score is 327.
Over the years, Key Biscayne K-8 Center has continuously met and
exceeded both district and state standards for excellence. Based on
Florida's A+ Plan, Key Biscayne has earned a school grade of "A" for
five consecutive years. The school's overall score has increased every
year and in 2005, Key Biscayne had the fifth highest score among all of
the 367 public schools within the district of Miami-Dade County (scoring
507 out of 600 points).

**2. Using Assessment Results**

Key Biscayne K-8 Center uses assessment data to drive instruction and
monitor its effectiveness in terms of student progress and achievement.
In order to implement our school's mission and provide the highest
quality education so that all our students are empowered to lead
productive and fulfilling lives as lifelong learners, we must use the
available data to identify our strengths and weaknesses and align our
curriculum and instruction to improve student and school performance.

Curriculum maps are implemented to help guide instruction. Weekly lesson
plans are constructed using solid data and adjusted according to
students' needs and abilities. Our faculty and EESAC help develop our
School Improvement Plan (SIP) to include goals and measurable objectives
based on the FCAT SSS and NRT. Our SIP focuses on student achievement
and every aspect of the curriculum must align to meet those goals. At
the beginning of each school year, teachers are provided with the FCAT
scores of their current class. They are reviewed and analyzed at grade
level meetings to identify strengths and needs to plan for
differentiated instruction and to set up our tutorial program. Teachers
also break down the data by strands to plan for the needs of students.
Teachers meet by grade level to establish student expectations and
identify alternative strategies and resources available to master
identified skills. FCAT scores are also utilized to develop Individual
Educational Plans (IEPs) and Academic Improvement Plans (AIPs).

Other than the FCAT, our school also uses on-going formative
assessments, teacher observations, Early Screening
Inventory-Kindergarten (ESI-K), Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early
Literacy Skills (DIBELS), Standardized Test Assessment Reading (STAR),
Accelerated Reader (AR), FCAT Explorer, Oral Reading Fluency (ORF), and
Diagnostic Assessments of Reading (DAR) to monitor and/or diagnose
student progress. These instruments provide further data that is
discussed and analyzed at monthly grade level/department meetings and
with our Literacy Leadership Team/Data Analysis Team. Monitoring student
progress, differentiating instruction, delivering meaningful staff
development, and providing tutorial programs before, during, and after
school have kept our standards high and our student achievement among
the top schools in our county.

**3. Communicating Assessment Results**

School assessment data is shared with parents and community statewide
through the Florida Department of Education website, and FCAT scores are
published in the local newspaper and the NCLB School Public
Accountability Report. Demographics and testing data is also given to
the public through the School Profile, Grade Report, School Improvement
Plan, and EESAC information available at our district's dadeschools.net
website and our main office.

At our Educational Excellence School Advisory Council (EESAC), all
stakeholders are presented the NCLB School Public Accountability Report,
School Improvement Plan (SIP), Mid-Year Review, and End of Year Review
of established goals and objectives for the school year.

Individual student assessment data is shared with parents through
individual reports such as interim progress reports, report cards,
failure notices, FCAT reports, and computer-generated reports which are
sent home. Test data to monitor individual progress is provided and
shared at teacher-parent conferences. Student progress information is
shared via progress reports/report cards and daily use of student
agendas. Parents also receive student academic information and can
monitor student progress by visiting the electronic grade book Parent
Internet Viewer (PIV) accessed via our website. Communicating with
parents is an on-going effort to improve student learning and
achievement.

**4. Sharing Success**

As an "A" school, Key Biscayne K-8 Center is always proud and willing to
share its successes in a variety of ways. Our staff participates in many
school, district and regional staff development opportunities in which
our teachers discuss philosophies, ideas, strategies, and activities
conducive to improving student achievement. Our administrators and
Reading Coach also attend district and regional meetings in which school
improvement ideas and best practices are shared.

Key Biscayne K-8 Center participates in the Good Neighbor Recognition
conducted through the Principals' Coalition for the Good of the Children
and the Key Biscayne Chamber of Commerce to recognize the successes of
students in our community. Additionally, our principal attends monthly
meetings of the Coral Gables Feeder Pattern, where best practices are
developed and shared with other schools in the region.

Our EESAC Chair and Curriculum Team share our progress with our
Educational Excellence School Advisory Council (EESAC) and other
Regional Center IV schools as part of the School Improvement Plan (SIP)
process. Teams from Regional Center IV conduct instructional reviews of
each school. As a follow up, they share commendations and
recommendations with the administrators and members of the Literacy
Leadership Team. These reviews are performed every semester.

Our school and community are kept abreast of our successes through
school newsletters and school recognition programs. The local newspaper
of Key Biscayne, "The Islander," supports the school by publishing our
accomplishments. Character recognition programs such as Student of the
Month (for elementary school) and Character in Action (for middle
school) are featured monthly in the local newspaper. Special events,
award winners, and Teacher of the Year are also highlighted in the
weekly local newspaper to help share and promote our school's successes.

**PART V -- CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION**

**1. Curriculum**

Key Biscayne K-8 Center follows Miami-Dade County Public Schools'
(M-DCPS) Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC), which is correlated to the
Sunshine State Standards (SSS). The CBC's, along with the SSS and the
Grade Level Expectations, provide specific benchmarks for the core
subject areas of language arts, reading, mathematics, science, and
social studies. The content units are designed by grade level
departments through collaborative planning and the development of
curriculum maps. We implement and monitor the scope and sequence of
curriculum maps to align research-based materials and data-driven
instruction to the SSS and make modifications as needed. Through grade
level and department meetings we share best practices from workshops and
conferences to strengthen our instruction and curriculum. The
implementation of a rigorous and vital curriculum that supports learning
at all grade levels is a consistent goal of M-DCPS and Key Biscayne K-8
Center.

The language arts curriculum provides integrated educational experiences
within the language arts strands of literature/reading, composition,
language/word study, listening/speaking/viewing, information literacy,
and study & test-taking skills. As students progress from one grade
level to the next, the curriculum spirals in complexity of materials and
tasks, and in the students' independence in the application of skills
and strategies. Higher-order thinking skill activities and
computer-assisted instruction are infused into the curriculum.

The science curriculum integrates the goals of the district's
Comprehensive Science Plan of inquiry-based instruction and discovery.
The curriculum supports the development of scientific literacy to impact
student achievement and promote lifelong learning, which improves the
teaching and learning of science. Students participate in hands-on
activities in class and through the Science Outreach Program. Our
students participate in the Science Fair and some advance to district
and even state level competitions.

The social studies curriculum encourages students to be active
participants in society while developing knowledge and understanding in
the areas of history, geography, and government. The curriculum includes
state and district mandated programs, such as African American History,
Hispanic and Women's Contribution to U.S. History, Holocaust, and
Character Education. Many of our students participate in our various
multicultural performances.

The gifted curriculum provides an open, student-centered environment
that encourages independence and interest-based exploration and
discovery for gifted elementary and middle school students. The
elementary gifted program encompasses content-based curriculum offering
science, social studies, and mathematics. For middle school the gifted
program is offered as an elective that integrates all subject areas.

The Exceptional Student Education (ESE) Program addresses the individual
needs of students with disabilities (SWD) and provides educational
opportunities that support their diverse learning needs. We implement an
Inclusion program which enables ESE students to remain in the regular
classroom with the classroom teacher and the ESE teacher working
collaboratively to help these students attain high levels of
achievement.

The foreign language curriculum has the goal of developing students'
proficiency in the speaking, listening, reading, and writing of Spanish.
At the elementary level, the Extended Foreign Language (EFL) program is
currently offered in grades K-2. Each school year the program will
expand to the next grade level, ultimately consisting of grades K-8.
Spanish for Spanish Speakers is required for K-5 students, and Spanish
as a Second Language is required for grades 2-5. At the middle school
level, we have Spanish for Spanish Speakers and Spanish as a Second
Language.

Art, physical education, and music are offered at both the elementary
and middle school levels. At the elementary level, they are part of the
required curriculum; at the middle school level, physical education and
the arts are offered as elective courses. Music electives include
keyboard and band. These classes provide students with skills that may
be utilized in everyday life, while increasing their appreciation for
cultural experiences. To further broaden students' knowledge and
appreciation of the arts, our students attend cultural field trips,
participate in various musical performances, and the Young Artists
Exhibit.

**2a. (Elementary Schools)** **Reading**

Key Biscayne K-8 Center's Reading curriculum is Miami-Dade's district
mandated Comprehensive Research-based Reading Plan (CRRP). Language
arts/reading instruction is offered in an uninterrupted block of at
least 90 minutes duration. The core reading program (CRRP) is Houghton
Mifflin, Reading which is scientifically research-based and addresses
all five of the essential elements of reading (phonemic awareness,
phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension). It provides the basis
for instruction and connects meaningfully to supplemental materials.
Initial lessons from this core reading program usually consist of about
40 minutes per day, and include explicit instructional strategies,
coordinated instructional sequences, and ample practice opportunities.
The remainder of the block is dedicated to differentiated instruction:
guided reading using leveled text, skills/strategy groups, and tailored
center activities. The teacher focuses on the needs of the students as
determined by assessment data using the CRRP or SRP (Supplemental
Reading Program). Early Success, Voyager, and Soar to Success are the
supplemental instructional materials used with our struggling students
in the intervention tutorial program during school. DIBELS progress
monitoring assessment is administered every grading period to
[all]{.underline} students in Kindergarten through third grade; fourth
and fifth grade administer the DIBELS only to FCAT Levels 1 and 2
students. Students who score intensive on the DIBELS are administered
the Diagnostic Assessments of Reading (DAR) to obtain further data to
make instructional decisions about students' needs and help plan for
differentiated instruction. To motivate and monitor independent reading,
our students participate in the Accelerated Reader program.

**2b. (Secondary Schools)** **English**

Key Biscayne K-8 Center's English curriculum is Miami-Dade's district
mandated K-12 Comprehensive Research-based Reading (CRRP) Plan. Language
arts/reading instruction is offered in a block schedule of "A" and "B"
days, allowing more time for uninterrupted instruction. All sixth grade
students are required to take reading in addition to language arts.
Seventh and eighth grade students take language arts courses where
reading and writing are infused in the curriculum. Intensive reading is
a requirement for all students in grades sixth through eighth scoring an
FCAT Level 1 or 2. An advanced language arts is offered to all students
scoring an FCAT Level 4 or 5. Daily instructional activities incorporate
the five essential elements of reading instruction and include teacher
read aloud, explicit phonics instruction/

vocabulary enrichment, whole group instruction, and differentiated
instruction. For whole group instruction, Houghton Mifflin is used for
the sixth grade reading course, Scholastic Read XL for the intensive
reading classes, and Holt, Rinehart, and Winston, a Harcourt reading
program, for the language arts classes. In addition to the state-adopted
texts/core curriculum, other grade/course appropriate materials are used
to enhance learning. Supplemental programs include Read 180, Compass
Learning, Accelerated Reader, and FCAT Explorer. CRISS (Creating
Independence through Student-owned Strategies) strategies are embedded
in our language arts/reading courses to build comprehension and
vocabulary development. For differentiated instruction, structured
independent reading, teacher-directed groups, and computer-assisted
intervention are utilized. The teacher focuses on the needs of the
students as determined by assessment data using the CRRP or SRP
(Supplemental Reading Program). The Oral Reading Fluency (ORF) is
administered to all sixth through eighth grade students who scored an
FCAT Level 1 or 2. Students who score intensive on the ORF and are not
making adequate progress may be administered the Diagnostic Assessments
of Reading (DAR) to obtain further data to make instructional decisions
about students' needs and help plan for differentiated instruction. A
before and after school tutorial program is also offered to all
struggling students who scored an FCAT Level 1 or 2. Key Biscayne K-8
Center's middle school language arts/reading curriculum meets the
requirements of the Middle Grades Reform Act for the rigorous reading
requirement and helps ensure the success of all of our middle school
students.

**3. Mathematics (Other Curriculum)**

The mathematics curriculum incorporates the district's Comprehensive
Mathematics Plan. At each grade level, the mathematics curriculum
engages all students in the development of mathematical concepts and
processes that can be used to solve real-world and mathematical problems
in the areas of number sense, measurement, data analysis, geometry, and
algebraic thinking. Computer-based programs that support the five
essential strands of mathematics are integrated into the curriculum.

We provide all students the opportunity to participate in interactive
mathematics programs such as Riverdeep and FCAT Explorer. Both of these
programs allow teachers to gather data and customize instruction in the
classroom to fit the needs of their students. Teachers also use other
computer web-based programs such as Scott Foresman and the Library of
Virtual Manipulatives by the University of Utah to provide students with
virtual manipulatives that can both accelerate and remediate at
different levels. Our school has teachers in elementary, middle school,
ESE and Gifted trained in Hands-On Algebra, Hands-On Math Education
(HOME), Gifted Mathematics, and Eisenhower Math enabling them to
differentiate instruction and implement innovative strategies in the
curriculum. Our school's mission is to provide a nurturing, respectful,
and safe environment where all students have opportunities to achieve
academic excellence and attain social-emotional well-being. Key Biscayne
K-8 Center is committed to developing critical thinkers and lifelong
learners who make responsible decisions and embrace global citizenship.

**4. Instructional Methods**

Our instruction is guided by the Sunshine State Standards (SSS) and
Miami-Dade County's Competency Based Curriculum. Using these guidelines,
our teachers have developed curriculum maps to adequately plan and pace
instruction throughout the year. Within this framework, teachers
integrate a variety of instructional methods to enhance and improve
student achievement. There is a strong emphasis on reading skills and
strategies across the curriculum. Teachers use whole group instruction
using research-based, state adopted instructional materials.
Differentiated instruction is also an important instructional component
to help meet the needs of students through adequate support and modeling
of effective strategies. Flexible small groups are formed for
strategy/skill group instruction based upon needs determined by
assessment data. Our curriculum is aligned with many web-based
interactive programs, like FCAT Explorer and Riverdeep, that provide
computer assisted intervention using educational software. The majority
of our teachers is trained in CRISS (Creating Independence through
Student-owned Strategies) and uses these strategies across the
curriculum to target higher order thinking. We embrace the integration
of subject areas and utilize cooperative learning and hands-on
activities. Teachers implement best practices shared at our school
through in-house professional development and grade level/department
meetings. Our instruction is data driven using the Continuous
Improvement Model to help all students make learning gains and move to a
higher level of achievement.

**5. Professional Development**

The Professional Development Plan at Key Biscayne K-8 Center supports
the school's mission, academic goals and objectives. Each year teachers
develop goals for their individual Professional Development Plan (PDP)
based on individual needs and on our School Improvement Plan (SIP) which
is tied to measurable student performance. School wide professional
development is then planned to help teachers achieve their goals.

Teachers also attend district and regional staff development offered
throughout the year. In-house workshops are provided by the Reading
Coach, administrators, and in-house experts in the areas of assessment,
technology, instructional strategies, curriculum implementation, and the
development of Academic Improvement Plans (AIPs). During the summer,
many of our teachers serve on school-wide teams to develop and align
curriculum maps and attend summer institute programs to further broaden
their professional knowledge.

Our master schedule is designed to promote professional learning
communities within the school. At the elementary level, teachers at each
grade have one hour of common planning time five days a week. At the
middle school level, teachers within each department (language arts,
mathematics, science, and social studies) share the same planning
period. This allows grade level and department teams to develop lesson
plans, plan instruction, share best practices, and analyze student
achievement on a regular basis. This master schedule also provides
opportunities for professional development in small group settings.
During common planning time, grade level and department meetings are
held regularly with the administrative team to monitor student
performance, share best practices, and set benchmarks for the following
month. This builds collegiality and a forum where everyone's ideas are
heard.

Key Biscayne K-8 Center encourages faculty and staff to pursue advanced
degrees. Highly qualified teachers assist in maintaining high
performance at all instructional levels. Currently, 53% of our teachers
have a Master's Degree and 8% of our staff has a Specialist's Degree.
There has been a 21% increase in the number of teachers that have
pursued their Master's Degree in the past three years. Faculty members
have encouraged each other to pursue National Board Certification and
currently several staff members are going through the application
process. Through professional development and advanced studies, we
continue our pursuit of excellence for our community of learners.
