**PART III ‑ SUMMARY**

St. Austin Catholic School was founded in 1917 as the parish elementary
school (Kindergarten-8^th^) of St. Austin Catholic Church, serving its
members in the immediate vicinity. Today, St. Austin's is no longer a
neighborhood school, enrolling 210 students from throughout the Austin
metropolitan area who represent 39 postal Zip Codes. St. Austin students
come from these various areas of Austin, offering much diversity to our
school community. Whatever the kind of diversity, there is no admissions
"exam" administered to prospective students, since it is at the heart of
our school's core values to embrace those who desire to experience our
vibrant and dynamic community.

Our school's mission states that St. Austin Catholic School is an urban,
parish-based elementary school dedicated to children's spiritual,
intellectual, moral and physical formation. With the goal of preparing
life-long learners, we take advantage of our proximity to the University
of Texas at Austin and the resources of other neighboring institutions.

St. Austin Catholic School is located in the heart of Austin, Texas. The
St. Austin campus is located one block from the main campus of the
University of Texas, five blocks the Texas State Capitol complex and
four blocks from the central offices of the Diocese of Austin, the
Catholic Church of Central Texas. The location of these major
educational and government venues place phenomenal opportunities at our
school's doorstep, which greatly enhance our school's curriculum. The
St. Austin Parent-Student Handbook states that the University of Texas
and the State Capitol complex are extensions of our school's campus. On
a regular basis, groups of students accompanied by parents and teachers
may be seen walking to and from the University and the Capitol. These
sojourns expose our students to cutting edge research, services provided
by the larger Catholic Church and the democratic process in action;
making connections between classroom and reality.

St. Austin Catholic School recognizes that, in general, schools offering
a solid curriculum abound in Austin; however, it is our enriched
curriculum as well as our emphasis on creating an inclusive,
family-centered environment that makes a difference, and is a great
influence on all facets of our school's success. The St. Austin
community believes that it is not enough to offer a curriculum that
meets minimum state standards. We believe it is essential to offer a
curriculum that challenges students to develop the knowledge and skills
necessary to be faith-filled, compassionate, thoughtful and active
members of a diverse and global community.

At St. Austin Catholic School, our primary goal is to prepare children
for heaven, not for Harvard. However, there are seveal stories of St.
Austin graduates who matriculated at Harvard University. As a faith
community and a learning community, through the partnership of faculty,
parents and students, all the diversity that creates the St. Austin
Catholic School experience is celebrated as evidenced by the
achievements and successes of our students.

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

**Item #1:**

St. Austin Catholic School administers the *Stanford Achievement Test,
9^th^ Edition (SAT-9)* to all its students, without exception. While
accommodations such as extended test taking time are provided for
students with documented learning disabilities, no modifications are
provided for the SAT-9 or any other area of the school's curriculum.

The SAT-9 test is a nationally norm referenced standardized achievement
test. All students complete the same test items, under the same methods
for administering the test, and all items are scored the same. An
individual student's percentile rank in Math, for example, may be
interpreted to mean that this rank is derived after comparing this
students responses to Math test items with those responses of a national
"scientific" sampling of students from the same grade, tested at the
same time of year, in the same test. Thus, if a student ranked at the
85^th^ percentile in Math, it can be said that this student ranked in
the top 15% of all students who took this same test; 85% performed at or
below this same point, and 15% performed at or above this same point.
The 85^th^ percentile is not the same as earning a score of 85%; a
percentile is a ranking of students who took the same test, while a
percentage is a score reflecting how a student performed (correct vs.
incorrect responses) on the test.

During the last three years of SAT-9 testing, St. Austin's 8^th^ Grade
students were ranked in Math between the 82^nd^ and 92^nd^ percentile.
According to the Math percentile equivalents provided for the SAT-9 test
by the U.S. Department of Education, these 8^th^ Grade percentile ranks
consistently represent scores in the top 10% of the nation.

Likewise, during the last three years of SAT-9 testing, St. Austin's
8^th^ Grade students were ranked in Total Reading between the 84^th^ and
88^th^ percentile. According to the Reading percentile equivalents
provided for the SAT-9 test by the U.S. Department of Education, these
8^th^ Grade percentile ranks consistently represent scores in the top
10% of the nation.

The assessment data at the end of this application illustrates overall
percentile ranks for all grades tested consistently in the top 10% of
the nation. Disaggregated scores for the 34% of our students who are
Hispanic show consistent improvement to illustrate a narrowing of the
achievement gap between overall scores and those for this subgroup. Note
must be made of one cohort of four students who represented the subgroup
for '03-'04 8^th^ Grade; two of these four students each have diagnosed
learning disabilities; this same cohort was together for seven of the
nine contiguous school years. While the overall percentile ranks for
this cohort were consistently the lowest in our school, these same
students demonstrated mastery of subject area content in our overall
curriculum through alternative assessment instruments and student
portfolios.

**Item #2:**

Each spring, very shortly after test results have been delivered to St.
Austin's, a faculty meeting is held, dedicated to the review of the
SAT-9 test results. This meeting begins with a basic review for faculty
of such terms as "scaled scores," "percentiles" and "norm referenced."
In this way, all faculty share a common understanding of what the
assessment data represent. However, the great majority of this meeting
time is spent reviewing the assessment data as they relate to specific
standards and objectives.

Strengths and weaknesses viz. assessment data are identified. The
weaknesses, those standards/objectives that will need to be reinforced
in our curriculum are identified, and teachers are charged with
designing and developing teaching and learning activities within
respective grade level (subject area) curricula. Subsequent to this
spring meeting, teachers meet as an entire group, cadres of grade level
instructors and cadres of subject area instructors, during which
meetings ideas and plans are shared as teachers prepare for the next
school year. It is not uncommon to find groups of teachers meeting, by
their own choosing, during the summer break as they continue to plan
improvements in our school's curriculum.

One week before a new school year begins, when all teachers are on duty
for the school year, at least two days of all-faculty meetings are held,
during which representatives offer the reports of the Math and
Reading/Language Arts faculty planning groups. These reports delineate
how the learning standards/objectives will be incorporated throughout
the curriculum; not only in the particular Math and Reading/Language
Arts curriculum, but other subject areas as well. Special care is taken
to assure that standards/objectives which may need to be reinforced are
being addressed throughout the curriculum, thus avoiding any temptation
to "teach to the test."

The faculty meets each week, and every fourth meeting is dedicated to
discuss curriculum. These meetings are "touchstone" meetings, where
specific standards/objectives are identified and the faculty shares how
these objectives have been addressed through the course of the preceding
four weeks.

**Item #3:**

Once a year, towards the end of the school year, the principal hosts a
"Principal's Report Card" meeting, to which are invited all faculty,
parents and Board members. During this meeting, the principal delineates
the academic achievement of our students: Private School Interscholastic
Association (academic competition) ranking; number of students in Grades
6-8 who have earned Honor Roll or Principal's List distinction
throughout the year; number of students in 5^th^ and 7^th^ Grade who
have been selected to participate in the Duke University Talent
Identification Program; last, but not least, a spreadsheet with total
Reading and Math scores for the SAT-9, current year and prior five
years, is displayed. The principal also reviews the curriculum focus
areas (standards/objectives) as defined by the faculty at the beginning
of the school year, in relation to the current assessment data.
Questions from anyone in attendance are addressed, especially as they
apply to assessment data and curriculum development.

Prior to the annual Principal's Report Card meeting, individual SAT-9
test results are sent home to respective parents, along with a booklet
and handout from the test publishers to explain the test results, as
well as a cover letter from the principal with an invitation to parents
to make an appointment with the principal and discuss their child's
SAT-9 test results.

The annual Principal's Report Card meeting is a summary meeting;
however, the principal, in his weekly newsletter, regularly addresses
ongoing student performance viz. teaching and learning
activities/projects, and student achievement.

Students receive feedback on their performance for individual class
assignments, tests, projects and activities by means of daily scores,
test scores, mid-Quarter progress reports and Quarterly Report Cards. In
addition, St. Austin's takes pride in the number of regularly scheduled
parent-teacher conferences to make parents aware of individual student
shortcomings and develop action plans to have these students meet
academic success.

**Item #4:**

Undergraduate and graduate students regularly visit St. Austin Catholic
School from the University of Texas, whose purpose is to observe how we
implement various aspects of our curriculum. For example, our
Kindergarten and 1^st^ Grade Reading classes are visited at least once
per semester by a group of graduate Education students; at the end of
the class visited, the graduate students meet with our Kindergarten and
1^st^ Grade teachers to discuss what was observed.

Several teachers from local area elementary schools have visited our
campus, have observed classes, and met with St. Austin teachers. Each of
these visits was in response to a request to observe teaching and
learning in our school.

Our principal served on the School Advisory Board of another local
Catholic elementary school, and regularly offered information about the
St. Austin curriculum, as well as invitations for their school faculty
to visit our school.

St. Austin Catholic School is proud to enjoy a "good neighbor"
relationship with the University of Texas. It is through such a
relationship that St. Austin's curriculum continues to be enriched, and
it is through such a relationship that we are happy and willing to share
what is our own good fortune. The faculty and administration of St.
Austin's is prepared to respond to any request from parents and
professional colleagues to share about our school's successes, to
include assuming the leadership for professional development
opportunities.

**PART V -- CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION**

**Item #1:**

The standards of rigor, thought, authenticity and diversity are the
hallmarks of the St. Austin curriculum. Through these standards,
students are challenged to use higher order thinking skills, develop
tools for life long learning, and be prepared as models of well-educated
and socially conscious citizens.

**Religion:** The Religion curriculum provides opportunities for the
student to develop a personal prayer life, a good sense of morals,
actively participate in the liturgical experiences of the Church and
exercise personal commitment through the sharing of spiritual gifts,
temporal goods and service.

**Language Arts (English):** The goal of the Language Arts curriculum is
to enable students to be confident and articulate in both the written
and the spoken word.

**Reading**: The goal of the Reading curriculum is to enable students to
develop a fluency in reading at their grade level, through the
exploration of different genres of literature, which includes
challenging texts. To encourage higher order thinking and reading
skills, all students in Grades 2-5 participate in the Junior Great Books
program.

**Math:** The goal of the Mathematics curriculum is to enable students
to become mathematically literate. This term denotes an individual's
ability to explore, to conjecture, and to reason logically, as well as
to use a variety of mathematical methods to solve problems.

**Science:** The goal of the Science curriculum is to enable students to
have a basic scientific understanding of the natural world and its
processes to guide their decisions through life. As Christians, we have
a responsibility to be the caretakers of God's world, and Science
supplies the tools and understandings to enable us to do that.

**Social Studies:** The goal of the Social Studies curriculum is to
enable students to be sensitive to God's generous gifts of the world and
its people. Guided by the teachings of the Catholic Church, students
will be prepared to participate in the democratic process and emerge as
well rounded, responsible adults ready to meet the challenges of the
21^st^ century.

**Spanish:** The goal of the Spanish curriculum is to introduce students
to the language and Hispanic cultures. In Grades 7 and 8 Spanish is
considered part of the core curriculum; students attend Spanish classes
three times per week, 50 minutes per class period, and Spanish grades
are included in the calculations for earning Honor Roll status at the
end of each grading period.

In the St. Austin curriculum, special area subjects are considered
essential to a well-rounded and quality education. The special area
subjects are Music, Art, Technology, Library and Physical Education.
Whether it is studying different genres of Art, reading challenging
texts in the Library, or preparing media presentations, through special
area subjects student learning becomes a multi-sensory, global learning
experience.

**Item #2a**. **(Elementary Schools)**

The K-8 Reading curriculum is designed to rigorously immerse the
students in all aspects of reading as well as using this curriculum as a
springboard to easy cross-curricular integration. St. Austin has chosen
this approach to reading to encourage a love of reading, develop reading
fluency, utilize higher order thinking skills, and honor reading as an
imperative to life long learning.

Kindergarten and 1^st^ Grade utilize a Houghton-Mifflin basal reading
series in conjunction with the basal-based "Phigur It Owt\" curriculum
developed by Dr. Jim Guszak of the University of Texas. The program is
self-paced and completely individualized; with each child working at
his/her own pace. In the midst of this self-paced instruction, the
expectation is that every child be reading a Grade 1.2 (above grade
level) reader at the end of 1^st^ Grade, reading fluency rates and
written comprehension questions determine placement at the next level.
Presently, 50% of our 1^st^ Grade students are reading at Grade 2.1
reading level.

Grades 2 and 3 utilize the Houghton-Mifflin basal reading series and
chapter books, with extensive supplemental writing and drama experiences
from other sources.

Grades 4-8, novels are used in place of a basal reading series. Weekly
vocabulary and spelling lists as well as writing assignments flow from
the novels\' themes. In addition to novels, a wide variety of reading
materials, such as current events articles, plays, and poetry
anthologies provide focus for specific themes which are used to teach
literary elements with strong links to history, science, and religion
through whole class lessons, guided readings, individualized readings,
and individualized reading instruction.

**Item 3:**

Prompted by our school's core values we strive to reflect the tradition,
ideals, faith and hope of the Roman Catholic Church. The St. Austin
Religion curriculum provides a rich opportunity to integrate these
essentials of our school's mission and core values, and provide
thoughtful and provocative teaching and learning. The faculty defines a
theme for each school year, which reflects the Catholic identity of our
school. Once the theme is articulated, teachers, as individuals and
cadres, develop plans that will integrate the theme throughout the
curriculum; with assurance that all plans address academic rigor.
Reading materials, writing exercises, discussions, art products and
media products are blended with prayer, worship and community outreach.
There is ubiquitous interdisciplinary activity, which is complemented by
inter-grade level activity. Numerous times each year, students and
faculty meet as "Faith Families." A Faith Family is a cohort of one
teacher and at least one student from each grade level. When Faith
families meet, there is always an organized activity related to at least
one aspect of our school year theme, and that will include participation
by each member of the Faith family. Through this interaction, not only
are we fulfilling a core value of our school to support an inclusive,
family-oriented community, but students are provided opportunities to
demonstrate mastery of the topic at hand.

**Item 4:**

The St. Austin faculty makes use of a variety of instructional methods
and strategies to engage their students. With a sensitivity to the
variety of learning styles present in every classroom, and the reality
of our world that presents information in a very fast paced and
multi-sensory fashion, teachers work to meet the challenge of offering
new knowledge and skills through appropriate student-centered learning
activities. Student led group discussion, experimentation, simulation
and demonstration are consistently used at each grade level; with a
minimum of lecture and "worksheets" being used. In addition, regular
inter-disciplinary activities are used, blending special area subjects
with core curriculum subjects; thus encouraging students to experience
learning more globally and less compartmentalized. For example, ROBOLAB
(Programmable Lego components) utilizes a team approach to problem
solving with computer technology, logical thinking, math skills,
language arts skills and engineering principles. ROBOLAB is used in
Math, Language Arts and Social Studies classes.

**Item 5:**

Professional development at St. Austin Catholic School has two major
components: One, professional development that addresses particular
grade level/teachers' needs, and two, faculty-wide focus areas. Faculty
and staff participate in national, state, local and campus programs that
correlate to the defined focus areas. Beginning last year, for example,
one focus area is Reading/Language Arts. The decision was made that our
school would adopt the *6 Traits of Writing* model. One teacher was
selected to attend special train-the-trainer conferences, and this
teacher has assumed the role of lead teacher for English/Language Arts
in our school. This lead teacher bears the responsibility to coordinate
professional development as it relates to Language Arts, whether it be
on campus or teachers attending training off campus. At the same time
this lead teacher coordinates meetings and discussions surrounding
Language Arts curriculum alignment between grade levels, always being
aware of NCTE standards. When a teacher attends a professional
development conference off campus, it is understood that this teacher
will share what they have learned with all faculty, during a scheduled
faculty meeting, and show ways this information may be integrated into
our curriculum. In most cases, every attempt is made to have at least
two teachers attend the same off-campus professional development
conference. For St. Austin Catholic School, this strategic and
coordinated professional development plan provides a framework for a
unified and consistent understanding of faculty and student outcomes,
and the wherewithal to achieve these outcomes.
