**PART III -- SUMMARY**

"We work hard to learn and never settle for less than our best!" is the
Eastport Avenue Elementary mission statement. In addition to a building
mission statement, each classroom has one too. All children know both
the building and their classroom mission statements.

Eastport Avenue Elementary is one of four elementary schools in the
Claymont City School District in Tuscarawas County, Ohio. The total
kindergarten through fourth grade enrollment for the 2006-2007 school
year is 349. Our students are greeted each day by a caring and
experienced staff. We provide free and reduced price breakfast and lunch
for our students who come from economically challenged backgrounds. For
the 2006-2007 school year, 54% of our students' families are
economically disadvantaged and qualify for free or reduced breakfast and
lunch.

***Programs***

Eastport Avenue Elementary provides many excellent educational programs
for its students. We use many computer-based programs that help students
develop needed skills: Accelerated Math, Accelerated Reading, Study
Island and Math Facts in a Flash. Students in third and fourth grades
benefit from our gifted program in Math and Language arts, while second
through fourth graders incorporate the Classroom Performance System
(CPS) into their curriculum. The CPS is a wireless student response
system to any type of multiple choice or true-false activity. Feedback
is instantaneous, which helps the teacher correct misunderstandings in a
timely manner. The Distance Learning program uses technology to connect
students to such places as the Columbus Zoo and the Cleveland Metroparks
Zoo/Rainforest without leaving the school. This program engages all
students in many subject areas. Our all day, everyday kindergarten and
after-school tutoring have been tremendous benefits to our students'
success.

***Community Volunteers***

We are fortunate to have many community volunteers. Members of the Big
Brothers/Big Sisters program run our after school Homework Club for
students who have difficulty completing homework. We are part of the
Ohio Reads initiative and the COAD (Corporation for Ohio Appalachian
Development) Foster Grandparent Program. Members of our high school
basketball team and Future Teachers of America come to the school weekly
to assist students. Additionally, a church in the community has adopted
our school and helps us with various activities throughout the year.

***Parents***

We involve our parents with educational activities such as Reading, Math
and Science Family Nights. Every parent also participates in student-led
conferences where the student facilitates a conference among
him/herself, the parent(s), and the teacher. The parents are kept
informed of academic progress and activities through Progress Book (an
online grade book, attendance, and information program for parents) and
newsletters. Our Parent-Teacher Organization raises funds, which enable
us to schedule educational programs and to purchase materials to enhance
learning.

***Students***

Our students take responsibility for their success at school. Students
have data folders in which they track their daily behavior, monthly
personal and classroom goals, test scores, homework and achievements.
Each student presents the data folder to his or her parents at our
student-led conferences. Student achievements are announced to the
entire school once goals have been met. Students who achieve a
designated number of goals in a nine-week grading period are able to
attend a celebration held at the end of each term.

***Staff***

Our teachers have many staff development opportunities related to
differentiated instruction and others that focus on increasing student
achievement. Teachers collaborate weekly within their own grade level.
The entire staff accomplishes various tasks through committee work, such
as "Right-To-Read Week," monthly dress-up days, nine-weeks grading
period celebrations, planning assemblies, and data collection. In our
Boomerang Program staff members nominate students for recognition when
they are observed exhibiting positive character traits; the premise
being that "Good deeds will come back to you."

We believe learning is for a lifetime and that every child can learn. We
strive for excellence.

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

***Assessment Results***

Eastport Avenue Elementary uses Ohio state diagnostic tests from
kindergarten through fourth grade to determine the individual needs of
the students. In addition, the school has developed grade level building
tests that are given at the beginning, middle and end of the year to
help monitor student progress. Eastport Avenue Elementary fourth grade
students participated in the state proficiency criterion-referenced
tests that were started in the mid 1990s. The Ohio Proficiency Tests
assessed students in reading, writing, math, science and citizenship.
Students were ranked as Below Basic, Basic, Proficient or Advanced. The
fourth grade Ohio Proficiency Tests have been phased out and replaced
with the Ohio Achievement Tests. The new fourth grade Ohio Achievement
Tests assesses state standards in writing, reading and mathematics. At
the third grade level the Achievement Tests began in the 2003-2004
school year and assess reading and mathematics. Students apply critical
thinking skills to comprehend and solve problems in the main content
areas. The Ohio Achievement tests include five rankings: Limited, Basic,
Proficient, Accelerated and Advanced.

The Third Grade Reading Achievement Test is given to all third graders
in October and March. Students who do not score at the Proficient level
or above must attend summer school and retake the test in July.

The state of Ohio has established the expectation that 75% of all
students in a building or district should earn a Proficient score or
higher on each section of the Ohio Achievement Tests. This would enable
the building or district to meet the testing indicator on the state
report card, which is issued annually by the Ohio Department of
Education. Parents and community members receive the report card through
the mail. Annual results are also posted on the department's website at:
<http://webapp1.ode.state.oh.us/proficiency_reports/data/csvtoasp.asp?filename=OCT_06_G3_PUBLIC_DITRICTS.csv&county=tuscarawas>
. Individual student scores rank the child's performance and are
reported directly to the school and parents.

Eastport Avenue Elementary is one of four elementary buildings in the
Claymont City School District. This building has numerous economically
disadvantaged families, yet test results have continuously and steadily
improved over the past three years. Eastport Avenue Elementary tests
regular education students as well as learning disabled/cognitive
delayed (LD/CD) students. The LD/CD students' scores are disaggregated
in the building and district report card as required by the No Child
Left Behind Act. Our test results show that both regular education and
LD/CD student groups are achieving well above the state minimum of 75%.
In addition, Eastport Avenue Elementary houses a multi-handicapped unit
and these students have successfully participated in alternate
assessments since their implementation in 2004-2005. These students'
scores improved dramatically by reaching the Advanced and/or Accelerated
levels in 2005-2006.

Performance on past tests indicated students were performing well below
state standards in all areas until the 2003-2004 school year. During
that particular school year, fourth grade students met indicators on the
state report card in all areas with a 90% or better passage rate, except
mathematics (in which 64% scored Proficient or above). The following
school year, 2004-2005, continued growth was evident as students passed
the state standard of 75% on all five tests. During the 2005-2006 school
year, even greater improvements were demonstrated, as the Math
Achievement Test was given for the first time in March of 2005 and
reflected a 92% passage rate.

Student achievement at Eastport Avenue Elementary can be attributed to
several factors. The Baldrige Initiative started the staff towards the
Quality Process, where students have become accountable for their own
progress and behavior by setting goals and tracking their achievement.
Teachers have been given weekly common planning time for collaboration
of curriculum and use of data, through scheduling changes and the school
day has been adjusted by the district to give 30 additional minutes of
instruction time. After-school tutoring occurs prior to Ohio Achievement
Test Week, which enables struggling students to receive additional
assistance in tested subject areas. The academic success of Eastport
Avenue Elementary students has not only increased morale, but has
encouraged the students to attend school regularly and do their best
everyday.

***Using Assessment Results***

Eastport Avenue Elementary uses data to align teaching practices with
the state standards. Students in kindergarten through fourth grade are
assessed in order to find those who need extra assistance. As students
enter kindergarten, we administer the Ohio Department of Education
Kindergarten Readiness Assessment in Literacy. The first grade students
are assessed with the First Grade Ohio Department of Education
Diagnostic Test. Second graders take the Otis-Lennon School Ability Test
and the Stanford Achievement Test. Short cycle assessments are given in
each grade level, once every nine weeks grading period, in the areas of
reading and math to address specific student academic strengths and
weaknesses. Intervention is provided to at-risk students by Ohio Reads
tutors, Homework Club volunteers, Foster Grandparents, and our
Schoolwide Title I teachers. Additionally, after school tutoring
sessions begin approximately 10 weeks before actual testing takes place.

Although the state of Ohio requires that the Third Grade Reading
Achievement Test be administered in October and March, Eastport Avenue
Elementary also gives the previous year's Third Grade Math Achievement
Test each fall. (Previous tests are available to the public on the Ohio
Department of Education website.) Test results are analyzed for the
purpose of gaining student information and further instruction is
adapted to fill in any gaps. Fourth grade students practice for
Achievement Tests by taking previous years' tests in small groups and
discussing answers. The Title I teachers also use the testing results to
identify those students who need further intervention.

Using prior assessment results, Eastport Avenue Elementary teachers
incorporate Bloom's Taxonomy to differentiate instruction. This
differentiated instruction serves as a bridge to familiarize students
with standards based language and performance tasks. When at-risk
students are identified, our teachers use the knowledge, comprehension
and application activities as building blocks to promote a strong
foundation for learning. The success gained from these activities
motivates the students to pursue more difficult tasks at the higher
levels.

***Communicating Assessment Results***

At Eastport Avenue Elementary communication is an ongoing priority.
Parents are informed of their child's progress by teachers' newsletters,
the principal's monthly newsletter, academic nights, student-led
conferences, midterm reports, report cards and data folders. Parents
receive a booklet at the beginning of the year, entitled "A Standards
Guide for Families," which explains the Ohio academic content standards.
Our students participate in the Accelerated Reader Program (a computer
based comprehension quiz for books that students read for pleasure),
which gives students and parents immediate feedback on their reading
comprehension. The students set individual and classroom reading goals
each month, and those who meet their goals participate in nine-weeks
celebration activities (ice cream social, movie, luau, etc.). All
students take a computerized STAR or STAR Early Literacy test several
times throughout the school year to show parents their child's reading
progress. Students have planning notebooks that are sent home daily to
provide a structured communication tool between home and school.
Technology has also increased communication with parents; grades and
daily homework can be accessed by parents via Progress Book (an online
grading program), teacher voice mail and/or email.

In Ohio, the school report card is sent annually to parents, community
groups and the local media. This data enables the community to follow
the academic success of each school and district.

***Sharing Success***

Eastport Avenue Elementary frequently welcomes, and serves as host to,
administrators and teachers from surrounding areas. As our guests browse
our hallways and visit classrooms, they interact with our students and
staff. Our students proudly share their mastered goals and successes via
their data notebooks. Teachers are available to answer questions and
provide additional information as needed. Our staff is eager to share
teaching practices with other teachers, parents and professionals. We
take part in the Tuscarawas Carroll Harrison Educational Service Center
share program, through which teachers from area schools meet, share
ideas and brainstorm ways to improve teaching throughout the school
year. We also have district grade level meetings to share ideas and
practices as well as gain insights from our colleagues. We are open to
students who are considering entering the teaching profession: both high
school and college students have spent numerous hours observing our
teachers.

Eastport Avenue Elementary staff has been asked to participate in state
and local inservices and a national conference. Teachers welcome the
opportunity to share successes with other educators, and answer any
questions as to how we have turned our building into the thriving
building it is.

Classrooms and individual students who have met goals are announced each
morning. Students who have successfully achieved predetermined goals
have been given the opportunity to "slime" our principal, Mrs. Johnson.
She has also been duct taped to the wall of the gym, milked a cow, eaten
bugs, and even dunked numerous times while on a dunking machine, all to
motivate students to work hard to reach educational goals and create a
spirit of cohesiveness and teamwork among students and staff.

Opening our doors to visitors, participating in and presenting at
various conferences, and motivating students to work together are
methods we use to share our success with others. We take pride in our
students and the goals they master in their days at Eastport Avenue
Elementary.

**PART V -- CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION**

With the current No Child Left Behind Act, our staff is dedicated to
writing lesson plans with differentiated instruction to meet all
students' needs. The staff is 100% highly qualified in their respective
teaching fields, and currently two-thirds hold masters' degrees.

At the beginning of each school year, the teachers at each grade level
meet to develop and review a monthly pacing guide listing the indicators
to be taught. The teachers develop effective lessons aligning the
district curriculum with the Ohio Content Standards.

Eastport Avenue Elementary teachers use a variety of teaching methods,
including computer software, on-line technology and resources, to help
meet the grade level indicators. Guided Reading has been implemented in
the kindergarten through fourth grade language arts program to improve
literacy. Reading Rods (an interactive and hands-on piece of equipment
that helps improve early reading skills) are used in our kindergarten
classes to develop reading readiness. The second, third and fourth grade
teachers are using the CPS (classroom performance system) to engage,
monitor and assess student learning in real time. Study Island, an
online practice for the Ohio Achievement Tests, and Accelerated Math, an
individualized math program, have also been implemented at the third and
fourth grade levels. These programs not only assist with intervention,
but also offer enrichment. Students work to improve their reading
comprehension through Accelerated Reader by setting personal goals.
Eastport Avenue Elementary offers all day, every day kindergarten; a
Kindergarten Jump Start Program (a two week program held right before
school opens in August to help students get acclimated to the routine of
the school year) and summer school to better prepare our students for
success. Through our schoolwide Title I program, all students are
afforded assistance when needed. Additionally, our visual/performing
arts staff incorporates classroom standards into their own standards
through various modalities, such as drawing, painting, chalking, use of
clay, singing, playing piano and various other instruments.

Effective assessment strategies are necessary to leave no child behind.
Eastport Avenue Elementary teachers have created short-cycle assessments
to monitor each student's progress in the objectives taught in each
nine-week grading period. This is an efficient and effective way to
identify students who need intervention on specific grade level
indicators.

The Eastport Avenue Elementary staff expects students to be responsible
and accountable for their learning and school behavior. Our school has
implemented the Quality Initiative where students set learning and
behavior goals and chart them daily. At the conclusion of each nine-week
period, students are recognized for exhibiting excellent behavior and
consistently completing homework with goal celebrations. Our school's
Boomerang Program stresses good character traits around the premise that
good deeds always come back to you. If a child is caught doing something
to help another student, a teacher, or the school, a paper boomerang
listing the child's name and reason for the boomerang is filled out and
put into the "Boomerang Box". Students receiving a boomerang are listed
each month and a drawing is held for a small prize. Making students more
accountable and recognizing positive behaviors has had a huge impact on
student achievement. Students know what types of behaviors are expected
and rewarded at Eastport Avenue Elementary.

Parental involvement is essential to our school's success. Communication
is crucial and accomplished through several methods. Progress Book is an
online grade book that offers 24 hour access for parents to view student
assignments and grades. Eastport Avenue Elementary teachers frequently
send home newsletters that keep parents current on classroom information
and our principal sends home monthly newsletters highlighting school
activities. At the end of each nine-week grading period, students take
home their data folders to share with their parents. This folder shows
the students' achievements in classroom behavior, homework habits and
progress in core subjects. Staff, parents and students working together
is stressed as each party signs an individual Staff/Student/Parent
compact each fall during student-led conferences.

***Reading***

Eastport Avenue Elementary's reading curriculum is designed within the
framework of a balanced literacy program. By emphasizing the essential
elements of scientific-based research, phonemic awareness, phonics,
fluency, vocabulary and comprehension, teachers ensure that every child,
including our at-risk students, will learn how to read. We have chosen a
balanced literacy program because it gives both teachers and children
the best opportunity for success by incorporating a wide variety of
strategies that help meet the needs of individual students.

Teachers determine a student's strengths and weaknesses by utilizing a
variety of different techniques. We use the STAR and STAR Early Literacy
diagnostic tool (a computer generated assessment), given at the
beginning, middle, and end of the school year. We also use information
gathered from the state diagnostic and achievement tests that are given
each year in the fall and spring. As the needs of the students are
determined, teachers will use many techniques to find what works best
for each student.

Some of the different strategies that are used at Eastport Avenue
Elementary include guided reading, power writing, shared reading and
writing and self-selected reading. To provide students with extra
practice, we use Study Island (a computer generated program that asks
questions in a similar way as the Ohio Achievement Tests) and
Accelerated Reader programs. We have a dedicated staff of Title I
teachers who provide us support in many areas, incorporating both
in-class and pull out settings. Volunteers come into the school one hour
per week and work with individual students in reading, through a program
entitled Ohio Reads. A large part of our success lies in the cooperative
efforts of our staff and their willingness to devote additional time to
their regular teaching schedule. We have many activities that require
after school hours, such as Family Academic Nights and after-school
tutoring, and staff members do not hesitate to volunteer for these
things.

Our success in reading at Eastport is the result of a combination of
high-quality teaching, solid research-based intervention, and special
education that is an integral part of our curriculum.

***Mathematics***

At Eastport Avenue Elementary, we utilize many strategies to help our
children "never settle for less than their best." One area of our focus
is Math. The use of curriculum mapping and short-cycle assessments help
ensure all the Ohio Academic Content Standards are being taught.

Eastport Avenue Elementary has a building-wide goal to increase mastery
of basic math facts. We give a building wide fact assessment and a
building wide problem solving assessment at the end of every nine weeks
grading period. We chart our progress in the main hallway so every
student can see our growth as a building. This reinforces our mission
statement.

Eastport Avenue Elementary utilizes technology into our math curriculum.
We use computer software programs such as, Accelerated Math, Math Facts
in a Flash, Study Island and the Classroom Performance System to enhance
our math program.

To give our students the best opportunity to succeed, we provide our
fourth graders with an additional half hour math class each day for
basic math fact mastery. The year before we implemented this program 69%
of our fourth graders scored at least "Proficient" on the Ohio
Achievement Test. The following year, 92% of our fourth graders scored
at least "Proficient." We hosted a Family Math Night to keep the success
going by using parent involvement. We had well over 100 families attend
this event. Some activities included board games, math facts and a
computer demonstration of our math programs.

As a result of using these programs, our third and fourth graders have
shown tremendous growth in not only ability, but confidence as well!

***Instructional Methods***

At Eastport Avenue Elementary, the staff has encouraged student growth
and learning with a focus towards the individual child. Each student
comes to the building with unique life experiences, which amplify the
diversity of our school. It is the responsibility of the educators to
identify and recognize the students' prior knowledge in order to
motivate, inspire, and connect those past experiences to new material.

The staff functions as a team when working towards improving student
learning. Our Quality Initiative has students and teachers working
together to create both long and short-term goals for all subject areas,
behavior and the arts. The staff also recognizes that a vital part of
quality education involves targeting the needs of the individual
student. This requires differentiating instruction to improve student
levels of performance and challenging each child to his or her full
potential. Diagnostic assessments during the first part of the year,
progress reports at midterms and short-cycle assessments are among the
many forms of evaluation techniques utilized to monitor student progress
and redirect student learning, if necessary.

Computer programs, such as Accelerated Reader, Accelerated Math, the
Classroom Performance System and Study Island, not only provide an
exciting learning experience for children, they reflect a framework
similar to that of the Ohio Achievement Tests and they allow for
immediate feedback. These programs sustain differentiated instruction in
the forms of visual, auditory and kinesthetic learning. Teachers provide
manipulative devices for students such as reading rods, math lines and
guided reading materials.

Collaboration is a key component at the building when working to improve
student learning. Intervention Specialists and Title I teachers are
constantly in communication with one another, as well as the general
education teachers. Title I services utilize a whole-class model, while
targeting small groups and individual students. Twenty-two percent of
students at Eastport Avenue Elementary currently have an Individualize
Education Plan and collaboration among the staff provides the
opportunity for those students to learn in a productive inclusion
setting. Finally, Eastport strives to provide the most effective
learning environment for each child as he/she grows in all areas of
development.

***Professional Development***

Both the Eastport Avenue Elementary staff and the administration of
Claymont City Schools place a high priority on continual teacher
learning. Knowing that educated and motivated teachers better assist
students in achieving and working to their full potential, professional
development at Eastport Avenue Elementary is a combination of collective
teacher learning and collaborative small group planning. District
teachers participate in workshops, topical small group in-services and
grade-level meetings. Additionally, the district has been granted four
waiver days by the state each school year for staff development.
Competence in areas such as working with at-risk students, technology,
and discipline are focused. Teachers choose specific sessions to attend,
making staff development pertinent and beneficial for individual needs.

Training in Study Island, Accelerated Math and Reading, Reading Rods,
Progress Book, Guided Reading, and Reading and Math curriculum adoptions
has collectively assisted the Eastport Avenue Elementary staff. Since
over one-fifth of our students have Individualized Education Plans
(IEPs), our special education staff has had numerous trainings about
formulating computer generated IEPs that are in compliance with the
standards established in IDIEA.

Sharing teaching strategies and learning from successful teachers is
valued at Eastport Avenue Elementary. Trained mentor teachers assist
entry-year teachers by offering encouragement and answering questions
that arise. Opportunities for district wide grade-level collaboration
are included in our waiver days. District-wide short-cycle quarterly
assessments provide on-going evaluations and they provide a resource for
teachers to monitor student progress on educational benchmarks.
District-wide grade level strategy sessions occur several times a year
that focus on potential problem areas and address issues common to the
group. Ongoing professional development and collaboration with district
staff members have contributed to the success of our students.
