#  Part III - SUMMARY

Getting the Right Results by Doing the Right Things for All
students**[.]{.underline}** It is the mission of the South Sioux City
Community School District to provide all students with a safe
educational environment that recognizes their ability to learn,
encourages personal growth, is judged by its outcomes and is a
cooperative venture between home, school and community. This is a
progressive and diverse school district committed to providing its
students with a quality education. The district has strong ties with the
community and enjoys the support of parents and other citizens.

Harney Elementary School is one of six elementary facilities in the
South Sioux City Community School District. It provides quality
educational experiences for approximately 385 students from various
ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds in kindergarten through fifth
grades. Harney is also the district site for elementary
behavior-disordered students.

The dedicated and knowledgeable staff includes one full-time principal,
seventeen classroom teachers, eighteen certified support staff and
fourteen classified staff, which includes a secretary, health clerk,
English as a Second Language, kindergarten, library and reading
paraprofessionals. In addition to the core curriculum, students receive
instruction from specialized teachers in PE, music, technology, art,
guidance and library. All instructional paraprofessionals meet or exceed
the requirements for certification under the No Child Left Behind Act.

To meet the needs of the diverse population at Harney Elementary, we
have several special programs. They include English as a Second
Language, Deaf Education, Speech Therapy, PROPEL Academy for gifted
students, Reading Recovery, Title 1, Literacy Support, Student Council
and the Skillstreaming Social Skills Program. Qualifying for the
schoolwide program designation enables our reading staff to provide
services for all our students. Each classroom teacher uses the guided
reading instructional format to teach effective, research-based
strategies for processing texts. Reading teachers provide small group
reading instruction in collaboration with regular classroom teachers
allowing for the reduction of the ratio of students to teachers during a
large portion of the language arts block.

The ethnic make-up of our students includes African American, Caucasian,
Hispanic, Asian and Native American. Since 65% of our students are
Hispanic, it is very important that students acquire the communication
skills necessary to be successful in the classroom. Students coming to
us with little or no English attend a "Newcomer Center" for one half of
each school day for up to one year to receive intensive, thematic
English instruction. Other limited English-speaking students receive
instructional support from three ESL teachers and three ESL
paraprofessionals.

Twice each month a Student Assistance Team meets to support students who
have been referred for behavior or learning needs that are not being met
under existing circumstances. Many students have been successful as a
result of recommended interventions or additional testing through
special education resources.

The children at Harney Elementary are experiencing academic success
because of the dedication of the knowledgeable and caring staff, the
support and involvement of parents, and the hard work of students.
Students are provided a rigorous curriculum and focused interventions
when appropriate. Teachers continually communicate high expectations and
create an effective environment conducive to learning.

**[Part IV -- Indicators of Academic Success]{.underline}**

**1. Assessment Results**

Students and schools in Nebraska are held accountable for rigorous
academic standards. Public schools have been reporting student progress
to the state in reading, writing, and mathematics for students in grades
four, eight, and eleven. Achievement on academic standards in reading
and mathematics is evaluated by locally developed criterion referenced
assessments. These assessments must meet strict criteria to ensure
quality. Writing performance is evaluated through a standardized,
statewide writing assessment. The levels of proficiency for state
reporting are advanced, proficient, progressing, and beginning. However,
the levels of proficiency for adequate yearly progress (AYP) are
proficient and not proficient.

Each school and district is rated on the quality of its assessments as
well as student performance. South Sioux City Community Schools received
a rating of Exemplary for performance in reading and mathematics in
grades four and eleven. In eighth grade, the district received
performance ratings of Exemplary for mathematics and Very Good for
reading. Assessment quality was rated as Exemplary for all grades in
mathematics and eighth grade in reading. In grades four and eleven,
assessment quality in reading received a rating of Very Good. The
ratings for Harney Elementary mirror those of the district at fourth
grade. Information on the state assessment system can be found on the
website
[http://reportcard.nde.state.ne.us](http://reportcard.nde.state.ne.us/).

Students' progress toward mastering individual state standards and
meeting goals for adequate yearly progress has been evaluated at the
fourth grade level in Nebraska. In the 2000/2001 school year, only 27%
of the students met proficiency goals. That percentage increased to 100%
in 2004/2005. Students also made great progress in mathematics. Only 44%
of the students were proficient in 2000/2001. By 2004/2005, 100% of the
students were performing at the proficient level or above. The
application of appropriate accommodations for students receiving special
education services and English language learners is thought to have had
an impact on eliminating the differences in subgroup performance.

At the district and building levels, student performance in reading and
mathematics is also assessed and monitored closely in kindergarten and
grades one, two, three, and five. Assessments are aligned with
Nebraska's standards and district curriculum objectives. In 2004/2005,
student performance on district assessments in these grade levels were
above 74% in all areas and grade levels except kindergarten. The
significant discrepancies between the subgroups at these grade levels
are continually being reviewed and addressed through the formal data
analysis process. Individual students not mastering standards receive
targeted interventions.

In addition to district assessments, students in third and fifth grades
take the California Achievement Test. Student performance on this
assessment does not reflect the same level of mastery in reading and
writing. The district's emphasis has been on assisting students to meet
the clear instructional targets set by our state standards and ensuring
that district assessment practices and procedures are of high quality as
well as free from cultural bias. An analysis of student performance on
this assessment is currently underway as the next phase of the school
improvement process.

**2. Using Assessment Results**

A formal data analysis process is in place to evaluate student
performance at the individual, subgroup, classroom, building and
district levels. The district provides data at each of these levels and
monitors trends. The district also plans professional development
activities and identifies district improvement goals based upon the
results of the assessments. Achievement results form the basis for
focused discussion at grade level meetings. Successful instructional
strategies are shared and options for improving performance in areas
that are weak are identified.

At the building level, school improvement and individual performance
plans are written based on the data analysis. Time is provided
throughout the school year for teachers and administrators to analyze
reports, review student records and assessment portfolios, and write
Individual Performance Plans (IPP). The IPPs are written for students
identified as not meeting instructional goals. Intervention is provided
in targeted areas and the progress of these students is monitored
closely. Building administrators also use this information as the basis
for regular meetings with teachers and to plan professional development
activities.

In addition to the formal data analysis process, continuous progress
monitoring takes place through informal assessments that occur on a
daily basis. This information is essential for communicating with
parents, targeting students who require immediate intervention, and
providing support through the Student Assistance Team. Intervention can
occur in the classroom, individual tutoring sessions, or group tutoring
sessions both within and outside of the school day.

**3. Communicating Assessment Results**

Home and school connections are critical to successfully educating
children. At Harney Elementary parents are considered partners in the
learning process and two-way communication is considered essential.
Parents are encouraged to become frequent visitors in classrooms and in
the school in general. They become familiar with the schools'
expectations through various means such as open houses, annual Title 1
meetings, parent seminars, newsletters, phone calls, meetings, and
conferences. Curriculum brochures outline the core objectives for each
grade level and are provided to parents and the community.

Parents receive mid-term reports and detailed achievement information
through quarterly standards-based progress reports. Parent/teacher
conferences are well attended. Grades as well as mastery of academic
standards are discussed during conferences. The Student Assistance Team
is also vitally important for communicating achievement to parents and
providing effective intervention for students who are struggling.
Parents are critical members of these teams. Additionally, parents and
the rest of the community are provided with information on the academic
performance of students through the District Report Card and State
Report Card that are distributed annually.

**4. Sharing Success with Other Schools**

Sharing information about achievement results and effective
instructional strategies occur in many formats. Grade level meetings are
held regularly which allow teachers to engage in professional dialogue.
They have proven to be effective in terms of sharing information,
empowering teachers, and developing a sense of professional community.
Study groups have been formed regularly over the past few years. These
groups have primarily focused on topics related to literacy.

Members of the Harney Elementary staff have also conducted classes,
workshops and presentations on various literacy topics for teachers both
within and outside of the South Sioux Community School District.
Teachers from area districts and those new to the South Sioux City make
visits to observe classroom instruction provided by the skilled staff at
Harney Elementary. Formal presentations outlining the successes achieved
have been given to the Board of Education.

**[Part V -- Curriculum and Instruction]{.underline}**

**1. Curriculum**

The children with whom we are charged to teach are our first and
foremost concern. When making decisions about what to teach, their
futures and the skills, attitudes and beliefs they will need are taken
into consideration. Determining what is to be taught is based on several
factors, including local issues and concerns, research in education,
state and federal initiatives and directives, and the professional
opinions of teachers.

Learning objectives in each subject are aligned with state and national
standards and guidelines. Curriculum monitoring forms have been
developed which allow teachers to track the learning objectives that
have been taught throughout the year. Student progress toward mastery of
the learning objectives and student engagement in learning activities
are monitored closely by teachers and administrators.

The language arts curriculum is balanced. Specific skills and strategies
are taught in the strands of word work, comprehension, fluency,
speaking, listening and writing. Students receive instruction in whole
group, small group, and individual settings. A guided reading format
during small group work allows students to receive specific skill
instruction using texts at the appropriate instructional levels. This
format also allows teachers to coach the use of metacognitive strategies
and closely monitor individual progress. Writing is considered an
important part of the language arts curriculum. Students are instructed
in the process of writing as well as refining writing pieces using the
six traits -- ideas, organization, sentence fluency, conventions, word
choice, and voice.

Explicit instruction of number sense, computation, estimation, basic
algebraic and statistical concepts, geometric concepts, and problem
solving occur in a sequential and developmentally appropriate manner.
Young students learn foundational skills through experience with
manipulatives. As students progress through school, the concepts become
increasingly more complex and abstract.

Science instruction encompasses concepts in the areas of physical
science, life science, earth science, and space. Students discover
theoretical concepts through "hands-on" experiences and technology in
addition to studying information in textbooks. Nutrition and healthy
lifestyles are also taught at each grade level.

Social studies instruction in kindergarten through fifth grade focuses
on the areas of map skills, geography, history, citizenship, cultures,
and economics. Young students learn about various aspects of their
community, fourth graders focus on Nebraska history and geography, and
fifth grade students begin their discovery of the United States and how
our culture came to its current status.

Students at Harney Elementary benefit academically, physically, and
socially from instruction in physical education, art, music, technology,
and guidance. Instruction in these areas occurs one to two times a week.
The curriculum for these areas cover essential concepts for each
discipline and support the core subject areas where possible.

**2. Reading Curriculum**

The staff at Harney Elementary is committed to providing quality reading
instruction for all students. Driving that commitment is the firm belief
that each individual child can learn to read, read to learn and become a
lifelong reader. The goal of the reading program is to develop strategic
readers who can identify the tasks and set purposes for reading, choose
and apply appropriate strategies to fit the tasks, monitor
comprehension, and know steps to take when understanding does not occur.

The instructional approach used by teachers is balanced with an emphasis
in comprehension, fluency, word work, and writing. Explicit instruction
of skills takes place both in isolation and within the context of
reading and writing for authentic purposes. Whole class, small group,
and individual settings allow teachers to supply the appropriate level
of support as students process new texts and learn new strategies and
skills. The acquisition and application of those essential skills and
strategies are continuously monitored through the district's reading and
writing assessments. When necessary, appropriate intervention is applied
taking into consideration students' individual needs and learning
styles.

All students receive challenging reading and writing instruction in
language and literacy rich environments. Resource Centers containing
leveled books and other reading resource materials allow teachers to
meet the individual needs of students as they learn effective problem
solving strategies that will help them become successful and highly
skilled independent readers.

Home and school connections are critical to learning to read. Teachers
and parents work together to maintain a strong partnership when it comes
to literacy. Two-way communication in the forms of conferences, literacy
seminars, newsletters, phone calls and "fun nights" are common at Harney
Elementary. Participation in an annual at-home reading program has been
very strong. This program encourages students to engage in reading
outside of the school day. Together, parents and teachers have worked to
establish reading as their number one educational priority.

**3. Writing Curriculum**

Writing instruction is viewed as an essential component of a quality
language arts curriculum and instruction occurs daily. The act of
writing requires knowledge of the sound to symbol relationship, logical
thinking, good summarization skills, and a well developed vocabulary.
Teachers employ the strategies of Step Up to Writing for teaching
students the process of writing. Students learn to refine their work by
evaluating pieces of writing on each of the six traits: ideas,
conventions, organization, word choice, sentence fluency, and voice.

Students are given many opportunities to practice these skills in a
variety of different writing formats: narrative, descriptive, poetry,
expository, and persuasive.

Professional development opportunities have been provided for teachers
in Six Trait Writing and Step Up to Writing over the past five years.
Each year, new staff is provided with materials and training for these
programs as a part of the induction process.

**4. Instructional Methods**

It is the belief in this district that programs do not teach students,
knowledgeable teachers do. When it comes to student achievement, the
skills and abilities of staff members make all the difference. Teachers
are provided professional development opportunities on instructional
strategies that have been proven by research to be effective. Research
is continually being conducted and shared in an effort to keep teachers
and administrators informed of best practices in education.

Instruction is provided in whole group, small group, and individual
settings. A variety of instructional techniques are used to match the
learning styles of students. Real life experiences and hands-on learning
activities are provided whenever possible. Metacognitive strategies are
emphasized so students learn how to think critically and solve problems
independently. During part of reading instruction, the ratio of students
to teachers is lowered by the addition of reading specialists to
collaboratively deliver guided reading instruction with classroom
teachers. This level of support provides all students in the building
with reading instruction targeted toward their individual needs.

An emphasis is placed on early intervention to prevent the necessity of
remediation. However, additional support is available to students
through the Special Education, English Language Learner, District
Reading and Title 1 Programs. These programs provide targeted support
based on the specific learning needs of students. They are critical to
the success of many of the students at Harney Elementary.

**5. Professional Development**

The South Sioux City Community School District is committed to providing
staff, its most important resource, with quality professional
development opportunities. The overriding goal of professional
development is the continual improvement of student learning. The
processes and activities in this area are designed to assist our
professional staff in improving their skills, keep them current with
effective educational trends that are supported by research and address
areas in need of improvement as identified by data analysis. The
opportunities for professional development are provided at the district,
building, department, and individual levels.

Professional development activities have focused primarily on effective
reading instruction, writing instruction, and classroom management for
the past several years. National, regional, and local experts have
shared their expertise with staff. Opportunities for professional
development have been available to teachers during the school day, in
after school sessions, and in the summer.

A full time Literacy Teacher Leader provides continuous training and
assistance to elementary teachers. This individual observes, coaches,
and models reading instruction as well as delivering presentations,
facilitating study groups, and creating a weekly newsletter highlighting
effective reading and study strategies. The Literacy Teacher Leader
works closely with teachers at all stages of their careers to improve
their teaching skills in the area of reading. Each aspect of the
Literacy Teacher Leader's position sets the stage for increased student
achievement through enhanced teacher training.
