**PART III ‑ SUMMARY**

T. Y. Fleming Elementary School, Minter City, MS, is an ideal child
centered educational learning environment housing students in Pre-K
through sixth grade. Students are offered numerous opportunities to
achieve academic success. Furthermore, the students enrolled at T. Y.
Fleming Elementary are well behaved and eager to learn. We believe that
all children can achieve academic success if given the proper tools and
support.

"The mission statement of the Leflore County School District is to
provide a quality formal education to enable its students to achieve
academic success and become productive contributing members of society."
To further the school's mission, the district has clearly stated
benchmarks for each grade level to help students succeed. Moreover,
objectives have been sequenced and aligned with the state frameworks.

"Public education, more than anything else, is America's true investment
in tomorrow." We believe all people have equal, intrinsic worth; the
family is the most important influence in a child's development;
everyone can learn; and all people are (should be) accountable and
responsible for the quality of their community. We believe that with
teachers and staff support, students can master a challenging
curriculum. Although our students are on the right track, our primary
focus is student achievement.

Specific goals and objectives, as well as a variety of activities and
projects throughout the year, enable all students to achieve academic
success. To ensure that no child is left behind, strategies have been
developed to reach all students. Our after school tutorial program
provides students assistance with homework, while technology workshops
are being offered to parents and students who are interested in learning
how to use computers. Additionally, to strengthen parental involvement,
parents are invited to attend a PTA Meeting and Fun Night each month.

As a school, we strive to provide the following: 1) an orderly,
positive, and safe learning environment that is conducive to learning;
2) an academic atmosphere staffed by highly qualified professionals;

3\) necessary resources and equipment necessary to facilitate effective
learning in the classroom; 4) health and counseling services; 5)
utilization of community and state resources; 6) a competitive,
educational curriculum which accommodates the diverse needs of all
students; 7) encouragement of constructive communication among the
community, parents, teachers, and students; 8) opportunities to develop
productive citizenship and character building skills which support
community involvement; 9) display respect and sensitivity toward
students, staff, and the community.

Our staff is committed to keeping current with the latest teaching
methods to meet the different needs of all children. We aim to achieve
this goal through professional growth. With the exception of one
teacher's assistant, all assistant teachers have met the district's
criteria and are qualified. Furthermore, teachers have attained degrees
in various fields of study ranging from a Bachelors degree to an
Educational Specialist degree.

The school district offers high-quality professional development
opportunities to assist teachers at all grade levels to meet the
challenges of teaching every learner. Moreover, teachers are given the
opportunity to serve on various district-wide committees.

Our commitment is to provide a professional staff and quality curriculum
that will challenge students to achieve at all grade levels, while
involving the community in such a way that will enable students to form
strong relationships with their peers and other adults. We also provide
opportunities for families to be involved in many aspects of the school,
with emphasis on students' positive character development through
modeling, curricular emphasis, and community service.

**PART IV - INDICATORS OF ACADEMIC SUCCESS**

**1. Assessment Results:**

The academic performance of students at T. Y. Fleming Elementary School
is measured by the Mississippi Curriculum Test (MCT) for grades two
through sixth and the Mississippi Grade Level Writing Assessment for
fourth grade. The Mississippi Curriculum Test has been given every year
for the past six years to all students in grades two through sixth at T.
Y. Fleming Elementary School. This test measures students' progress in
reading, language arts, and mathematics. The test is mandated by the
Mississippi State Board of Education. The performance level descriptors
reported on the MCT results indicate the percentage of students in the
following four categories: Advanced -- Students' work is outstanding and
shows comprehensive knowledge and skills in the learning areas. Students
can consistently use their knowledge and skills to solve problems and
evaluate the results. Proficient- students' work shows that they have
the knowledge and skills in the learning area to function
satisfactorily. Basic- Students who fall into this category have less
than satisfactory understanding of the benchmarks in that subject area
and Minimal- Students exhibit very little or no ability to use the
skills tested in the subject area. The State Assessment Website:
[www.mde.k12.ms.us](http://www.mde.k12.ms.us/) and click on MAARS

The only students excluded from the MCT are the severely handicapped.
All other students who are designated Special Education are tested on
their academic grade level. Students must complete the reading section
of the test independently, but the administrator may read the questions
and answer choices aloud for the other two sections of the test.

All Limited English Proficient (LEP) students must take the MCT every
year. All LEP students take the reading section independently, but they
have access to a Spanish-English dictionary. A reader is present to read
aloud the section of the test that measures progress in language arts
and mathematics.

The MCT assessment data for T. Y. Fleming Elementary School over the
past five years show consistent and continuous increases in the
performance of our students in reading, language arts, and mathematics.
Mississippi ranks schools from Level 1-low performing to Level
5-superior. However, Grade Level 2 test data is not used by the state
when computing achievement and growth level. In 2003

T. Y. Fleming Elementary School rose to the level 4 rating. In 2004 T.
Y. Fleming Elementary School achieved a Level 5, and in 2005 retained
the Level 5 rank by exceeding the scores of the preceding year.

There are only two LEP students who took the test at least 2 years at T.
Y. Fleming Elementary School and both of those students showed
improvement similar to that of the other students in the school. The
Special Education students showed only a slight improvement.

Fleming School outpaces the great majority of schools in Mississippi and
is one of only two to maintain a Level 5 in the Leflore County School
District and surrounding areas.

**2. Using Assessment Results:**

Several examples of the use of assessment data to improve student
performances are: Prior to the beginning of school the faculty and staff
of T. Y. Fleming Elementary School meet to assess and discuss the levels
of each individual student who took the MCT the previous spring.
Teachers share suggestions on how to assist students to capitalize on
their strengths and how teachers can augment students' weakest areas.

In order to maintain documentation, teachers keep a checklist for each
student illustrating how many times each benchmark has been taught and
the last date on which the student passed the benchmark with 80% or
better. These checklists are also studied and discussed before students
arrive for the first day of school. Checklists are available in reading,
writing/language arts, and mathematics, and each list contains the
benchmarks for the respective subject area. Also, each checklist gives a
suggested time period in

which the benchmarks should be taught. Teachers collaborate across grade
levels to analyze and discuss the information on the lists at least once
a month in order to help prepare the learner for the next grade.

In addition to the checklists, there is also an intervention team in
place to help with strategies for strengthening skills of students whose
performance level drops. There are three tiers of intervention
classification: Tier I -Quality Classroom Instruction based on the
Mississippi Curriculum Framework, Tier II- Focused Supplemental
Instruction and Tier III-Intensive Intervention specifically designed to
meet the individual needs of the student. Tier III is overseen by the
intervention team, who helps the teacher make adjustments and
modifications to bring the student's skills up to standard.

**3. Communicating Assessment Results:**

At the beginning of the school year, an unmarked copy of the benchmark
checklist for each subject area is sent home with the approximate
mastery dates indicated. This procedure provides parents ahead of time
the expectations and deadline for assignments and/or projects. This also
helps parents understand the curriculum and environment of their child's
classroom. At the completion of each nine weeks reporting period, a note
requesting a parent conference, is included in report cards of students
who are not performing as well as pre-school assessments and discussions
with prior teachers indicated they should perform. As a precautionary
measure, follow-up telephone calls are made if a parent or care-giver
does not attend the conference.

Every week typical examples of students' work, not just test papers, are
sent home to keep parents informed of where each student is in the
curriculum, and how well the student is progressing toward mastery. In
addition, district-wide conferences are held twice annually to discuss
students' mastery/non mastery of skills. On these days, students stay
home and teachers conduct parent conferences until

5:30 p.m. Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) meetings are held at
revolving hours to accommodate parents with different work schedules an
opportunity to participate in conferences and other school related
activities.

Individual school test scores, including T.Y. Fleming's, are
communicated to the public on a regular basis through the local
newspaper, [The Greenwood Commonwealth.]{.underline} The MCT scores are
listed in perspective by comparing them with the state averages.
Furthermore, test data is shared with the faculty, principal,
intervention team, as well as members of the PTA, to thoroughly explain
the impact of the results. Moreover, students receive access to their
assessment data promptly and continually throughout the year. This
process allows students to see their progress marked on their individual
benchmark checklist, in which they take great pride in seeing each
benchmark "Checked off".

**4. Sharing Success:**

[The Greenwood Commonwealth]{.underline} has written several articles
about T. Y. Fleming Elementary Schools' success and some of the reasons
for achieving this success. As a result of the state and local
recognition

T. Y. Fleming Elementary School has received during recent years,
representatives from schools in different parts of the state have
traveled through the Mississippi Delta to visit the school. Some
visitors have toured the school or met with the principal, while others
have observed classrooms and interviewed teachers.

The local state representative, Mrs. May R. Whittington, District 34,
takes special pride in Fleming Elementary and takes every opportunity to
boast of the school's achievement. Rep. Whittington is responsible for
raising money and finding the talented people who make a Reading Room
possible at the school. The Reading Room has thick rugs, big floor
pillows, easy chairs, a sofa, and many books where children can relax
and read in comfort. Other cheerleaders for Fleming Elementary include a
local realtor who is influential in the Chamber of Commerce.

T.Y. Fleming Elementary School also shared their success with students
by giving each student a t-shirt with the school's name and the logo
"Soaring Beyond Expectations," and a Picassoesque line drawing of a
runner figure holding a "5" to represent the level the school had
achieved. The school also sponsored a pep-rally for the students to
allow them an opportunity to celebrate and proclaim their pride in
themselves and in their accomplishments.

**PART V -- CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION**

**1. Curriculum**

Fleming's curriculum engages students in a learning environment that
encourages students to achieve at high levels and to find success and
satisfaction in learning. Every effort is made to enable each child to
connect the classroom objective with his/her own real life situation.
Since 99% of our students come from a low income population and many
parents did not finish high school, our curriculum stresses problem
solving and critical thinking in addition to the traditional subjects.

Students in grades K-3 are immersed in the basic literacy skills of
listening, speaking, reading and writing, while a strong integrated
language arts program in all grades emphasizes oral language as well as
listening and writing. Students also write in subject journals to help
them organize their thoughts. These journals have become valuable tools
when studying for exams. Homework becomes a vital part of the learning
process and provides a link between the home and school. The school's
focus on the "homework" concept is essential because in some cases,
helping with homework is a parent's only connection with the child's
learning experience.

T.Y. Fleming's math curriculum utilizes the building blocks concept of
teaching concept by concept in the same manner as laying bricks. The
school believes it is paramount for students to understand the concept
of math, rather than just learning the process.

Overall, the school's curriculum is designed to mandate higher level
thinking of all students. Additionally, art is integrated into every
subject and is part of the assessment. Students have choices in reading
materials, book reports, and research topics, which aid students to
develop evaluative skills and discrimination in their choices.
Furthermore, T.Y. Fleming has created an Intervention Team that is
constantly available to assist with those students who might fall behind
in the curriculum.

**2. Reading:**

The reading curriculum at Fleming Elementary is literature based and
engages children in interesting and sometimes exciting stories about
ways of living that are unknown to them. Houghton Mifflin "The Nation's
Choice" fits our objectives better than any of the other programs we
examined. This program's integrated approach to the language arts easily
allows the writing and grammar objectives to be coordinated with the
stories in the reading books. Teachers use numerous instructional
practices that help students become fluent readers. The school uses
in-depth instruction in letter recognition, phonemic awareness, sound
symbol recognition, phonics and word recognition. Intensive instruction
continues on an individual basis through 6th grade, if needed.
Vocabulary, comprehension, and fluency instruction are priorities in all
forms of reading, science, social studies, and other subject areas.

Every student in each grade level reads high quality literature of all
genres and a variety of authors. To continue with this concept, fluency
is developed by listening to the CD of each story provided by the
publisher and modeling by teachers. All students practice reading aloud
in addition to participating in a period of Sustained Silent Reading
every day.

Comprehension is enhanced, as teachers use questions on different levels
to guide students as they discuss characters' feelings, map story
elements, make predictions, orally describe the setting, and retell the
story in their own words. Furthermore, students decode and gain meaning
by singing the three-calling system: semantics, syntax, and
grapho-phonemic.

**3. Mathematics:**

This school's mission for mathematics is for all children to become
problem solvers, to think logically, communicate reasoning
mathematically, to value and apply mathematics to their own real
problems and to other real life situations. Our mathematics curriculum
builds upon itself and each concept carries the learner a step farther
on their journey toward the school's mission.

T.Y. Fleming's instructional strategies include hands on concrete
manipulatives at every grade level to introduce new concepts and to
ensure that the learner fully comprehends the reasoning behind the
concept and not just the process which will render an answer. Also,
concepts are presented in real life problem settings in which the
learner can relate so he/she can realize and appreciate the value of
mathematics as practical knowledge.

Other mathematic strategies involve systematic review of skills
previously taught. Students also use a strategy called "writing
mathematics" in which they learn to write the problem, next write
possible ways to approach the problem, solve the problem mathematically
and then write the solution. Teachers make connections with mathematics
to other subject areas, and students become aware of the importance of
math to their understanding of other subjects.

If a student begins to struggle with a concept, teachers provide
one-on-one instruction. To hone the development of concepts, students
are also encouraged to communicate mathematically through peer-to-peer
activities. Furthermore, computer assisted math activities are utilized
daily for all students in the school's computer lab.

While it is important to emphasize the notion that there may be other
avenues to solving a problem, teachers encourage students to explore all
possible ways to finding a solution. As a means for preparing students
to be successful on formal assessments, frequent informal assessments
are administered with adjustments made in instruction as needed.
Moreover, daily homework assignments provide students with additional
practice as well as an opportunity for parents to share in their
children's school experience.

**4. Instructional Methods:**

The curriculum at Fleming is aligned to the state's goals and objectives
and we have high expectations for all students. Our instructional
program contains the suggested strategies listed in the state document
as well as other research-based methods to afford students every
opportunity to achieve at their best.

Fleming uses cooperative learning opportunities in all areas of the
curricula as a method of instruction. This gives learners the
opportunity to communicate their ideas, listen and evaluate ideas of
others, and build social skills. Direct instruction using the Program
for Effective Teaching model (PET), based on Madeline Hunter's research,
give learners the background knowledge and assistance to develop the
skills necessary to become independent learners.

Authentic learning experiences based on familiar problems hold students'
interest and engage them in active participation. In many cases,
teachers model a concept for several weeks, and then students begin to
take the lead in finding the solutions. Manipulatives and concrete
examples are employed in all subjects whenever possible. Modeling,
thinking-aloud, reflection and guided practice are methods used daily in
one subject or another. Since T.Y. Fleming's environment encourages the
use of frequent informal assessments, within a timely manner, this
process gives students a frame of reference in regards to how well they
are progressing.

Other instructional methods include flexible pairing and small group
sessions. Groups are formed according to the changing needs of the
students, since students learn different skills at various rates.
Children with Individualized Education Plans (IEP) who are in the
regular education classroom are also instructed by specialized staff.
The Title VI-Rural and Low Income Grant and the 21^st^ Century Community
Learning Centers Grant have enabled the school to provide after school
tutoring by certified personnel for students who need additional help in
mastering skills. This is also a time when additional intervention is
provided.

**5. Professional Development:**

The main reason for professional development is to improve student
achievement. Fleming strives to work with all students so they will be
able to function at grade level, demonstrate knowledge in pertinent
ways, and who behave in ways that are acceptable to society. The
professional staff is committed to improving their knowledge and
practices in order to promote the desired results in students.
Professional development must address teacher behavior in the classroom
to the end that students benefit. We focus

on building the collective teaching talents of the entire faculty rather
than of each teacher as an individual. For the past three years,
Fleming's professional development has focused on providing time in the
school day or week to allow teachers to meet together and discuss
problems and successes.

Furthermore, the school provides ways to engage students in their own
learning in order to become independent learners. During professional
development, teachers and administrators examine best practices and
discuss ways to adapt and implement these practices with students.
Additionally, Fleming's professional development has focused on
developing ways to use technology in every subject so children are
comfortable when doing research, solving problems and communicating.

Teachers are also allowed to further their expertise in content areas,
teaching strategies, classroom management, technology usage,
assessments, data interpretation and dissemination, and discipline
management. The school also provides teachers opportunities for sharing
their knowledge and experience and for seeking help from others through
peer coaching. And lastly, Fleming's professional development
concentrates on, not only teacher development, but parent educational
development, by providing and promoting instructions for parents,
especially in technology and content areas being taught.
