**PART III - SUMMARY**

Rigdon Road Elementary is located in Columbus, Georgia. This "Great
Little Learning Place" has a tradition and community acceptance of
excellence where "learning never stops". This school is unique because
of its size, student population, ethnic-makeup, school wide Title I
program, and Year-Round Education (YRE). Rigdon Road implemented the
first year-round school in Muscogee County seven years ago. YRE is a
concept in which the traditional school year is reorganized so
instructional time is evenly distributed throughout the school year. The
YRE calendar provides for continuous learning and frequent breaks. The
calendar for Rigdon Road consists of a single-track to include 45 days
of instruction and 15 days of vacation.

Rigdon Road Elementary opened in the Fall of 1955, servicing a 100%
Caucasian student population. During a twenty year span, Rigdon's
student population changed drastically due to demographic changes in the
community. Presently, the ethnic make-up of Rigdon Road students is 100%
African American in grades Pre-K -- 5th. In addition to its main
building and portable classrooms, Rigdon Road is probably the only
school in the state that has, as a classroom, "The Little White House"
actually lived in by the Rigdons for whom the school was named. Rigdon
Road students ranked number one in the Muscogee County School District
for having the least number of absences for two consecutive years. This
great little learning place has continuously beaten the odds according
to standards set by the "No Child Left Behind" law in closing the
achievement gap for culturally disadvantaged children. Through the
energetic and visionary leadership of the principal and teachers, Rigdon
continues in spite of limited resources, to maintain high marks in all
indicators of successful schools. The school solicits input from all
stakeholders including parents, children and community as they share in
the mission to create a positive learning environment, teaching students
respect for self and others, while reaching their maximum academic
potential. The teachers participate in shared leadership and each of
them takes great pride in ensuring that all children are learning to
their full potential.

Idealistic is a term to describe this school. It is a place where
everyone knows and cares about each other. The climate of the school is
that of one big happy family where children are nurtured and loved. The
mission is fulfilled academically, socially, emotionally, and
developmentally through the many programs offered in the Drama Club,
Book Club, Safety Patrol, Best Friends Club, Peer Helpers Program, and
Chorus. Parent involvement is encouraged through PTA, FBI (Fathers Being
Involved), GBI (Grandparents Being Involved), School Council, Title I
Parent meetings, Parent Workshops, Clothing Bank, Hearing and Vision
Screening, and RIF (Reading is Fundamental) book distribution.

Rigdon Road has been the recipient of numerous awards and recognitions
including Pay for Performance, Muscogee Excellence Foundation Grant,
Charles Ballinger Award -- YRE, 100% Pass Rate on 3^rd^ Grade CRCT 2004,
a Distinguished School for meeting AYP three consecutive years. Rigdon
Road's counselor was named Region and State Counselor of the year for
her innovative ideas and programs implemented through the guidance
program. The principal has been recognized for many outstanding
achievements accomplished during her tenure. The Rigdon faculty, staff
and community truly demonstrate a professional learning community.

Students and teachers of Rigdon Road have challenged themselves to be
one of the finest. As the education of children changes to promote
21^st^ century learning, so has Rigdon Road Elementary changed its
vision of what children should know and be able to do in tomorrow
society. We take great pride in the education of children and for that
reason we celebrate excellence, and strive to close the achievement gap.

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

1.  The Georgia Criterion Referenced Competency Test (CRCT) is the main
    assessment used by the state of Georgia and Muscogee County School
    District. The CRCT includes three performance levels.

-   Level 1- Does not meet the standard -- scores of less than 300

-   Level 2- Meets the standard -- scores of 300-349

-   Level 3- Exceeds the standard -- scores of 350 and above

> An analysis of the CRCT test data indicates that reading is an area of
> strength for all grades. On the reading portion of the CRCT, 92% of
> the students at Rigdon Road Elementary School scored at or above in
> meeting the standards category. This is due mainly to Rigdon Road's
> continuous efforts to address the dimensions of reading using numerous
> strategies. Phonemic awareness and phonics are addressed with the
> Sing, Spell, Read, and Write program, and the use of the Basic
> Literacy Test (BLT). As a result of the loss of the Reading Recovery
> Program, Looping was implemented in first and second grade to focus on
> students who are reading below grade level.
>
> The fluency dimension of reading is addressed through the Macmillan
> McGraw Hill reading series, the Drama Club, and the Book Club. The
> Accelerated Reader program and the Guided Leveled Reading Books are
> also used to address this area. Vocabulary is developed by using Sight
> Words Ladder, computer lab reinforcement, materials in the media
> center, writing and research, Lightspan Sony Playstation and
> Brainchild computer handheld games.
>
> The CRCT scores indicate that the second and third grade students made
> substantial gains in reading from 2002-2003 to 2003-2004, while the
> first and fifth grade students remained stable. The fourth grade
> students showed significant gains in reading with the exception of a
> 4% decrease in 2002-2003. This was attributed to the loss of the Early
> Intervention Program (EIP) which was designed to assist at-risk
> students.
>
> In the domain of English/Language Arts substantial gains were made in
> every grade level with the exception of first and fifth grades which
> remained stable. This is attributed to the modeling of lessons using
> various technology and exposure to well-known authors who encourage
> students to think aloud and make connections to real life experiences.
>
> An analysis of the CRCT test scores indicates that math continues to
> be a primary focus. Test scores for 2000-2001 indicated a dramatic
> decrease for fourth grade. This can be credited to the adoption of a
> new math series by the school district. It was not user friendly for
> teachers. There were few practice skills for students and no
> remediation resources. Test data indicated weaknesses in the areas of
> statistics & probability, geometry & measurement, estimation & problem
> solving.
>
> As compared to the state of Georgia, we are meeting or exceeding the
> state requirements. In compliance with the state of Georgia, it is the
> desired result of Rigdon Road Elementary, that each year 5% of the
> students move out of the does not meet the standards category in
> reading, English/Language Arts and math. After carefully analyzing the
> data, a five year span indicates 11% of the students do not meet the
> standards on the CRCT in reading, English/Language Arts and math.
> Strategies to ensure these desired results include analysis of test
> data, focus on areas of weakness and ongoing assessment. Teachers will
> create and collect samples of activities and materials to be shared
> for skill teaching. Students will also contribute to assessments as a
> means of ownership of learning.

**2**. The faculty as a whole evaluates the information from the CRCT
analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of the school in reading,
English/Language Arts, and mathematics. The faculty analyzes the domains
in each area and chooses the appropriate QCC\'s to address with the
students. In grade level meetings, the teachers further analyze the
areas of strength and weakness. The teachers are provided with specific
analysis of the student performance provided with the student score
report. The teachers use these reports to establish small group and
individual instruction.

Muscogee County Schools also assess student progress with quarterly MAP
tests. These tests are written to correspond to the QCC\'s for the state
of Georgia. The tests are given in August, November, February and May
and analyzed by the Title I teacher and the classroom teachers to
establish areas of greatest need for instruction. In grade level
meetings, the teachers devise strategies to address these areas of
weakness. The Title I teacher also incorporates instruction in these
areas in the computer lab.

Rigdon Road also has an ongoing after-school tutoring program in which
teachers address the needs of groups of students or individuals.
On-going teacher assessment, MAP tests, computer lab evaluations,
teacher-made tests, and alternative assessments are used to establish
the groups for tutoring. An intercession is held for one week during the
fall and spring breaks to address the needs of students targeted by the
teachers using these assessments.

**3.** Rigdon Road communicates information concerning student
performance and assessment data to parents in several ways. Report cards
are issued every nine weeks with pick-up and teacher-parent
conferencing. Mid-term reports are sent home every four and a half weeks
between report cards. Each teacher sends home student work on Mondays
along with a newsletter. Parents are given a copy of the standardized
assessment data for their children and the data is explained in a
conference.

Parent workshops are provided to explain the state testing procedure and
the website for online practice is provided for students and parents.
Rigdon Road has established its own website which provides up-to-date
information for parents. Students are kept informed of their progress.
Daily evaluations, rubrics, teacher-made tests, and conferencing with
teachers are also utilized. The community is kept informed through the
marquis, weekly news letters and news releases.

**4.** The faculty and staff at Rigdon Road Elementary share the vision
that our school exists primarily, centrally and unremittingly for the
benefit of children. We constantly share our many successes across the
state and school district. Our principal has been recruited as an avid
supporter of year-round education. She shares her enthusiasm with school
boards, principals, faculties, and parents. She has been successful in
recruiting 8 schools in our district and 5 in the state of Georgia. The
principal shares past and current test data and the positive results of
changing to a year-round calendar.

The faculty and staff provide workshops to our parents, partners in
education, local school council, and PTA on such topics as ADHD,
reading, math, tips for the single parent, test-taking strategies, and
tips for parents to help their children with homework. We have shared
our successes and strategies with other schools of similar demographics.
Setting high expectations resulted in one hundred percent of our third
grade students passing the CRCT test.

At Rigdon we set high expectations and we don't accept excuses. We will
be sharing a documentary which was produced featuring Rigdon Road on 50
cable stations as a tool for staff development on the "Power of High
Expectations." Some portions of this documentary will be shown on 60
Minutes on CBS in late fall. We celebrate the diversity of ideas about
how to achieve our vision and rally around shared values that give true
meaning to education. We believe that sharing our successes is just
another reason that this great little learning place is dynamic in its
quest for excellence.

**PART V -- CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION**

**1**. Technology has become a vital part of the school's curriculum.
With technology being at the forefront on many of today's job sites,
Rigdon is proud of its computer lab, which serves all students.
Computers are being utilized in each classroom and in the library.
Internet access is now available in the media center, counselor's office
and all classrooms. The computer lab provides remedial attention through
the use of the Computer Curriculum Corporation program. Skills
intervention is provided by the use of the Orchard math and language
arts program in addition to reinforcement of skills by the Title I
teacher.

The Early Intervention Program (EIP) assists students in K-5 to improve
basic skills in reading and math. EIP reduces the student/teacher ratio,
providing a more personalized approach to learning.

At Rigdon, the students, parents, teachers, and community are involved
in a fully integrated, carefully structured and sequenced
problem-solving program in which students become actively involved in
problem solving through the use of manipulatives, technology, and real
life situations. Students are held responsible for academic performance.
The students in grade 1 are using the Word Problems Made Easy program to
equip students with problem solving strategies. This program will be
continued in each grade level. Teachers are responsible for providing
information opportunities for exploration and discovery but students are
expected to assume responsibility for learning with appropriate
encouragement. To ensure students have been equipped for this task, a
"Bear Book" was issued to all students and teachers. The "Bear Book" has
been a useful tool for enhancing home/school communication as well as
students' organizational skills. Students have been able to keep
homework assignments and notes to take home in one place. Cooperative
learning and individual student projects have provided opportunities for
developing critical thinking skills.

Rigdon Road continues to address progress in reading using a variety of
strategies. Phonemic awareness and phonics are addressed with the Sing,
Spell, Read, and Write program, and the use of the Basic Literacy Test
(BLT). As a result of the loss of the Reading Recovery Program, Looping
was implemented in first and second grade to focus on first and second
grade students who are reading below grade level.

The fluency dimension of reading is addressed through the Macmillan
McGraw Hill reading series, the Drama Club, and the Book Club. The
Accelerated Reader program and the Guided Leveled Reading Books are also
used to address this area. Vocabulary is developed by using the sight
word ladder, computer lab, materials in the media center, writing and
research.

Map and diagram skills, history and sociology/related sciences are
addressed by using the computer lab graphing and time line programs.
Writing and research activities also focus on this area.

Earth and space, the nature of science, and life science, are areas that
are addressed through hand-on experiences, field trips, and through the
use of science experiments. In addition an integrated approach to
learning is used throughout the school day.

Art is provided to students on a part-time basis. Students at Rigdon
experience art through history, terminology, and appreciation every
Thursday and Friday. The students enter various contests locally and on
the state level. Many of Rigdon's students work has been displayed at
the Columbus Museum, Mall, and the Government Center. Students are
allowed to use their creativity through expressions, watercolors,
paints, and drawings. Working hand in hand, learning and building a
better world at this "Great Little Learning Place" is always promoted.

**2a.** In compliance with the Muscogee County School District (MCSD)
textbook adoption, Rigdon Road Elementary School uses the
Macmillan/McGraw-Hill Reading Program as its reading curriculum. This
program is scientifically research-based and like MCSD is committed to
helping every child become successful, avid readers. It is aligned with
the MCSD's goals for reading and primarily focuses on the six dimensions
of reading to include phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary,
and comprehension. This program is designed to help students in the
early grades become lifelong learners, thus ensuring success in the
other disciplines.

The Macmillan/McGraw-Hill Reading Program was chosen because it offers
developmentally appropriate activities that are aligned with the state's
QCC objectives. Because of the socio-economic background of the Rigdon
Road Elementary School students, the reading curriculum allows
flexibility, providing teachers the opportunity to teach to each child's
individual level of instruction. Consequently, this allows teachers to
meet the individual needs of the students being served. In addition the
Macmillan/McGraw-Hill Reading Program lends itself to the integration of
instruction where teachers can be creative while teaching other
disciplines across the curriculum. This program helps teachers impart
the skills that are necessary to ensure student success on the CRCT.

**3**. Character Education is an integral part of Rigdon Road's
curriculum for many reasons. In conjunction with the mission and vision
of this great little learning place, good character is a prerequisite
for becoming productive citizens. The counselor's philosophy is "a child
is what he lives; if he lives with criticism, he learns to criticize".
Therefore, classroom guidance focuses strongly on building character.
Students are actively engaged in small group activities which promote
character awareness. It is reinforced throughout the school day as
students receive immediate feedback for positive behavior. Since
students' academic performance is greatly impacted by social behavior,
the entire faculty and staff integrate character education throughout
the curriculum. Teachers also model behavior expected from students.
This positive behavior helps to develop the "whole child" as students
seek to create a risk-free learning environment for themselves and
others.

Students are involved in extracurricular activities such as drama,
chorus, 4-H, DARE (Drug Awareness Resistance Education), and Book Club.
This allows students to improve public and personal speaking skills.
These activities focus strongly on character development. Opportunities
are provided for children to perform on stage for family, friends, and
the community. It also instills a sense of pride and acceptance for self
and others. Students that demonstrate exceptional character traits are a
part of the peer helper program. This program helps students become
positive role-models for others and student leaders in their school and
community.

**4**. Several methods are employed for improving student learning.
Students are provided with small group and individualized instruction
through after-school tutoring on an on-going basis. Fall and spring
intercessions also provide instruction for those students targeted as
needing extra help per assessments. The Title I teacher uses the
computer lab as a means of intervention and remediation using the
computer Curriculum Corporation program, Orchard software,
teacher-directed lessons, other software, and the internet. The Title I
teacher collaborates with the classroom teachers to address skills and
improve student learning by providing additional and varied activities.
The counselor has established a Peer Helper Club which allows older
students to pair with a younger student to provide another avenue for
improved student learning. These students meet with their paired student
on a weekly basis. The first and second grades rotate teachers for
reading, math, science, and social studies. This allows for more
in-depth instruction in each area with follow-up related instruction by
the regular classroom teacher.

Other instruction methods which are used are self assessment, rubrics,
cooperative learning, peer tutoring within the classroom, alternative
assessments and portfolios.

**5**. Professional development for all stakeholders at Rigdon Road
Elementary School is based on the needs of the students. Staff
development activities are centered on improving teacher instruction
which positively impacts student achievement. The leader constantly
assesses the professional development program at Rigdon Road Elementary
School to ensure that effective practice is available to the faculty,
staff, and other stakeholders for the benefit of the students. A wide
variety of professional development opportunities are awarded to enhance
student achievement at Rigdon Road Elementary School. Just recently, the
administrator, faculty, and stakeholders participated in a professional
development entitled "The Power of Community: Educating as Stewardship".
The doors of Rigdon Elementary School were graced by renowned author
Clifton L. Taulbert who shared childhood memoirs from his book, *Eight
Habits of the Heart*. His focus was the importance of embracing the
values that build strong families and communities. Taulbert's visit
helped all stakeholders at this great little learning place imagine the
power of the community in helping every child become fully engaged in
the learning process.

Additional professional development activities include a workshop
presented by Ann White who shared, "The Ten Commandments for People Who
Work With People," continuous technology workshops given by our
Instructional Technology Support Technician, and professional book clubs
that have emerged as a result of collaboration among all stakeholders
wanting to enhance teaching strategies for student improvement. In
addition, professional development courses are also offered by a host of
professionals in the field of education. All stakeholders are given an
equal opportunity to engage in the Best Practices Institute in Muscogee
County thus, enhancing student achievement.
