  ------------------------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- -----------

The 2005-2006 26% teacher turnover rate can best be explained by sharing
the combined reasons for the turnover. Two teachers relocated to other
cities, one teacher received a promotion to an administrative position
in another county, one teacher resigned to be home with her young
children, one teacher retired after thirty-three (33) years, and two
teachers transferred to another elementary school in the district. One
of these two teachers transferred in order to teach fifth grade. ISEMS
had no vacancy in grades fifth through five.

**PART III ‑ SUMMARY**

**Summary**

International Studies Elementary Magnet School (ISEMS) is located at
2237 Cutts Drive on the east side of the Flint River in Albany, Georgia.
The school was established in 1965 as Mock Road Elementary to serve
kindergarten through fifth grade students from the surrounding
neighborhoods and the Marine Corp Logistics Base. As a result of two
major floods, millions of dollars worth of damage, and displacement of
population, neighborhoods around the school were drastically changed and
this resulted in a change in the school's demographics. The district
began looking for ways to remedy this trend. After reviewing results of
a school system self-study, it was determined that Mock Road Elementary
would become a designated magnet school. The school was renamed and the
transition was started.

The school system needed to be able to provide a seamless transition for
military children who had been exposed to an international based
education and various other cultures through tours of military duty with
their parents. The International Baccalaureate Organization's philosophy
and methodology were chosen to give direction to the transition while
providing military parents and citizens of Dougherty County with a
different kind of educational choice for their children.

The school opened its doors for the first time as the International
Studies Elementary Magnet School in August of the term 2004-05. Its
mission is to develop high academic skills, an understanding of
international ideas, cultural diversity, responsible citizenship, as
well as, critical and compassionate thinking. Students enrolled in the
school will become active, compassionate and life-long learners who
understand and respect the differences of others. As a commitment to the
mission, the vision to become an authorized IB Primary Years Program was
born.

Once the model for the instructional program was decided, the design
team, administrators, and curriculum specialists determined the staff
needed to implement the program, and made recommendations to the
superintendent and the board of education for approval.

During the 2004-05 school year, ISEMS petitioned the local and state
boards of education for Charter School status. A goal of ISEMS is for
every parent to feel a part of the educational process and to be active
in the school. Charter Schools intentionally create a family-like
atmosphere which encourages active parent participation in school
planning, volunteering in classrooms, and assisting with a variety of
school activities. The educational programs and extra-curricular
activities were carefully planned to bring students, families, faculty,
and the community together to support children's learning. The charter
school petition was approved by the local and state boards of education
in the spring of 2005, and ISEMS opened its doors as Dougherty County
School System's first and only Conversion Charter School in the fall of
the school year 2005-06.

After the implementation of the IBO pedagogy, and the integration of the
Georgia Academic Performance Standards, student achievement
significantly increased. For the past two years, ISEMS has been
recognized by the Governor's Office of Student Achievement and the
Georgia State Department of Education for "Greatest Gains" in meeting
and exceeding standards. The "Silver" award was earned for achievement
results for the 2004-05 school year and the "Bronze" award was earned
for the achievement results for the 2005-06 school year. ISEMS is a
Title I Distinguished School and has maintained this status for five
years.

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

**1. Assessment Results:** The Dougherty County School System (DCSS)
participates in the Georgia state assessment program which uses the
Criterion-Referenced Competency Test (CRCT) as its summative evaluation.
The CRCT is designed to measure how well students acquire the skills and
knowledge described in the Georgia Performance Standards (GPS) and the
Quality Core Curriculum (QCC). The results of the assessments provide
information on academic achievement at student, class, school, system,
and state levels. The test evaluates students in grades 1-5 in the areas
of reading, language arts, and mathematics. Grades 3-5 are also tested
in science and social studies. Student test results are categorized on
three performance levels. Level one is not meeting standards. Level two
is meeting standards. Level three is exceeding standards. The CRCT in
reading and language arts is based on the Georgia Performance Standards.
Scores below 800 are in level 1, not meeting standards. Scores from
800-849 are level 2, meeting standards. Scores at or above 850 are
exceeding standards as shown in level 3. Tests in grades 1-5 on
mathematics are based on the Quality Core Curriculum. Scores below 300
are in level 1, not meeting standards. Scores in level 2, meeting
standards, are 300-349. Scores at or above 350, level 3, are exceeding
standards. For the past three years, the International Studies
Elementary Magnet School (ISEMS) has been successful in raising the
percent of students meeting or exceeding state standards on the CRCT for
reading and mathematics. The results are in the data display tables
shown at the end of the application. The Georgia CRCT assessment
information can be found at
(www.doe.k12.ga.us/curriculum/testing/crct.asp).

The Georgia Department of Education requires norm-referenced testing of
grades 3 and 5 using the Iowa Test of Basic Skills (ITSB). Scores are
used to compare the performance of Georgia's students with the
performance of students nationally. The results of the test are used for
evaluation and instructional improvement for students by schools, local
systems and the state of Georgia.

The DCSS curriculum in reading requires each student in kindergarten
through fifth grade to be assessed for their reading level using the
Developmental Reading Assessment (DRA). This tool is used by teachers at
ISEMS to insure that students comprehend as they demonstrate fluency as
readers.

As for mathematics, teachers of grades three, four, and five use the
*Concord Balanced Assessment in Mathematics* (BAM) to assess student
levels of critical thinking and problem-solving. Data from this
assessment help teachers to differentiate instructional methods to
benefit students with diverse learning

styles.

The academic performance of ISEMS students greatly improved in
comparison to the 2005 school year, evidenced by spring 2006 CRCT test
results. First grade test scores improved in reading, English/language
arts, and math, while our second grade scores in reading showed
improvement. Additionally, third and fourth grade students showed
improvement in reading, English/language arts, and math. Fifth grade
students demonstrated 100% improvement in the area of math. ISEMS
received the 2006 Bronze Award for greatest gain in meeting and
exceeding academic standards. The Bronze Award represents the top 5% or
95^th^ percentile within Georgia (with at least 20% exceeding
standards).

2\. **Using Assessment Results:** Assessment data serve as a very
essential impetus for academic achievement at the International Studies
Elementary Magnet School. Administrators, teachers, and support staff
use all forms of data to drive instruction and make instructional
decisions in our classrooms. These decisions are made to ensure that the
academic needs of all of our students are met and insure closure of the
achievement gap among all learners at ISEMS.

Teachers work in grade level groups and as a faculty to read and analyze
the Criterion Referenced Competency Test (summative assessment) results
in order to ascertain strengths and weaknesses in curriculum and/or
instruction and set achievement goals for the current students in their
classrooms. Teachers and administrators look at pretest results,
formative assessment results, and summative assessment results each week
during grade level collaboration time. In addition, the teachers
discuss, share ideas, and strategies to address the students'
performance in the classroom. Our students engage in self-assessment of
their achievement to help build their portfolios. Students use
portfolios to share their progression of knowledge with parents during
student-led conferences.

The primary objective of the monthly faculty meetings is to provide
opportunities for vertical dialogue. Comparisons are made of achievement
and instructional trends to solidify and insure whole school movement
toward the desired school improvement goals. Teachers complete
reflection sheets that document their assessment data and submit them
with their lesson plans each week. This communication helps teachers and
administrators remain current with how well the students are achieving
the desired academic goals.

**3. Communicating Assessment Results:** The importance of communicating
or informing parents of student performance cannot be overemphasized.
Students are informed of their performance through rubrics, test results
and parent/teacher conferences. We keep parents informed of student
performance by weekly take home folders, mid-grading period progress
reports, report cards, parent/teacher conferences, and student-led
conferences. Agendas are used daily for home- school communication.

The promotion policy and interpretation of standardized test results are
explained at parent workshops, PTO, and parent/teacher conferences. Hard
copies of student test results are sent home to parents. Criterion
referenced and norm referenced assessment data are posted on the Georgia
Department of Education website, results are published in local
Dougherty County School System's website, and in the local newspaper,
*The Albany Herald*.

4.  **Sharing Success:** In an effort to insure that all schools and the
    community are informed and are aware of the academic successes in
    the Dougherty County School System (DCSS) there are several means of
    communication. On a daily basis, schools and community stakeholders
    can gather information about schools and student achievements from
    the DCSS website. The local newspaper and television stations share
    success of schools and their accomplishments to a broader school
    audience and community. Additionally, other means include a monthly
    Principal's Meeting, quarterly Leadership meetings, and Curriculum
    and Instruction meetings. The Superintendent, Executive Director of
    Curriculum, and principals share information about student
    performances based on data, programs, accomplishments and community
    concerns. During these meetings, the International Studies
    Elementary Magnet School principal has the opportunity to share with
    all elementary as well as secondary principals curriculum programs
    used at International Studies Elementary Magnet School.

ISEMS has hosted several meetings for other local educators. The school
has also served as an observational site for surrounding schools in
Southwest Georgia. The principal and several faculty members have
presented at the Charter School Conference held in Atlanta, Georgia.
During the conference, strategies were shared with educational
professionals throughout the state of Georgia on how to educate diverse
populations. Teachers in kindergarten through fifth grade have met with
other teachers in Albany, Georgia to share, discuss, and develop lesson
plans and Georgia Performance Standards units.

**PART V -- CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION**

**1. Curriculum and Instruction**

*Overview*

Our curriculum provides a comprehensive program designed to align its
content with all Georgia Performance Standards (GPS) in the areas of
reading, language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies.
Professional development is provided for all teachers with the purpose
of familiarizing them with the GPS. Our teachers are in the process of
transition from the instructional methods of Quality Core Curriculum to
the performance based methods of GPS. Students are engaged in meaningful
learning activities that are delivered through whole group, small group,
and individualized instruction. Inquiry based approaches lead our
students in actively researching the knowledge they wish to acquire.
Literacy is taught across all content areas and provides a connection.

*Reading*

Research has yielded much information about how children learn to read.
This research tells us that to become more skilled and confident
readers, students must have multiple opportunities to build essential
skills. At ISEMS, our students demonstrate an understanding of the
concepts of print, apply phonics skills to decode words, and strive to
read fluently as a means of increasing comprehension and strengthening
vocabulary. Assessment results are used to drive literacy instruction
within the classroom and to meet the needs of all students.

*Math*

The math instruction at ISEMS is facilitated by the use of technology,
manipulatives, and real life problem solving. Students work
cooperatively to creatively provide solutions to conceptual problems.
Investigation, data analysis and interpretation are evident in the
regular flow of the lesson. Students collect and record data and use
graphic organizers/charts to visually represent their findings.

*Social Science*

Students deepen their understanding of history, economics, geography,
and the function of the world we live in through active research. Our
students use their senses to make observations about the physical world
around them. Concept questions focus our students in meeting their
learning objectives. Inquiry-based instruction helps our students to own
their learning and engages them in the subject matter conceptually for
deeper understanding. Active learners produce work that requires a high
level of thinking, followed by reflection of their progress. They are
prepared to apply what is learned in a variety of settings.

*Foreign Language and Art Instruction*

In an effort to help our students to become the internationally minded
student as described in the Primary Years Program (IBO), Spanish
instruction is provided for grades K-5. The goal is to foster fluent
dual language speakers. Grades K-3 attend Spanish classes twice a week
for an hour. Fourth and fifth grade classes attend Spanish twice a week
for an hour but receive an additional thirty minutes within their
regular content areas. Students are encouraged to utilize their mother
tongue and the additional languages interchangeably and this is greatly
supported by our media resources and literature offerings.

The art instruction at ISEMS provides our students the opportunity to
creatively express themselves in different forms. The art instructor is
well trained to elicit the abstract responses from her students. The
background knowledge of various artist and their contribution to society
are made relevant to the students as they form their own views of what
art is or isn't. Student work and collective displays fill the walls of
our school environment.

**2a. Reading:** Our reading curriculum is based upon research compiled
by the National Reading Panel. This scientifically based reading
research states that children learn best through instruction that is
delivered in an explicit and systematic fashion and centered around the
five essential components of reading: phonemic awareness, phonics,
vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension. To ensure that our children are
reading proficiently by the end of third grade, our kindergarten through
third grade students receive 120 minutes of uninterrupted reading
instruction. The delivery of instruction is designed using the three
tier model of instruction which consists of whole group instruction,
small group instruction, and literacy centers. The core materials and
all supplemental materials are scientifically researched based. The
Reading First literacy coach models and provides professional
development to our staff. Professional development in the form of book
studies, summer academies, peer observations, and re-deliveries are used
to aid teachers in meeting the individual needs of all students.
Individualized instruction occurs in a small group setting. Needs based
instruction is provided for those students requiring one-on-one
intensive intervention determined from progress monitoring results.
Teachers monitor students' progress using a palm pilot that has been
programmed for Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills
(DIBELS). Benchmark probes are administered three times a year and
on-going progress monitoring is done by the classroom teacher. A reading
specialist provides additional small group instruction for struggling
readers in grades K-3. Our fourth and fifth grade students are engaged
in reading instruction utilizing strategies gleaned from the reader and
writer's workshop model. Teachers arrange students in cooperative groups
according to areas of need while conferencing with individuals to
address weaknesses and to enhance strengths. Students own their learning
and pace themselves according to the task selected in each working
station and self-assess their results.

**3. Additional Curriculum Area:** The International Baccalaureate
Organization designed the Primary Years Program to ensure the
development of the whole child in the classroom and in the world outside
for ages 3 to 12. ISEMS has used this method of instruction to provide
our students with multiple opportunities to learn and utilize critical
thinking and problem-solving skills. The international student is
created or enhanced by the identified learner profile and attitudes
established within the guidelines of the Primary Years Program. The
units of inquiry last six weeks and are learner-driven and facilitated
by the teacher. Student research is focused on key concept questions
that require in-depth thought and responses. Social, communication,
research, self-management, and thinking are the transdisciplinary skills
that students apply in all content areas. Our students are required to
learn and become fluent in an additional language outside of their
mother tongue. Students in grades K-5 attend Spanish classes twice a
week for sixty minutes and those in grade 4 and 5 attend for an
additional thirty minutes. Teachers and administrators have been
intensely trained to foster this educational process and to accurately
obtain authentic assessment results. Self-assessments and reflections
are used to monitor and provide evidence that learning has taken place.
Our students maintain student portfolios that chronicle their learning
as it progresses. These portfolios are used by students in the
student-led conferences in which they share their strengths and
weaknesses and their personal goals.

**4. Instructional Methods:** The faculty and staff at ISEMS are
committed to using a wide range of teaching methods to meet the needs of
individual students within the school's population. Teachers plan
developmentally appropriate activities that are centered around student
interests. Inquiry-based practices are the primary modes of
instructional delivery. The research proven method of *Understanding By*
*Design* is used in all grades K-5. This method, which begins with the
end result in mind, allows student input to be utilized in forming
learning goals that are clearly communicated to all parties. During
literature based instruction, students are actively engaged in
read/think alouds, mini lessons, needs based grouping, guided reading,
and reflective discussion. *Readers' Theatre* gives our students the
opportunity to make reading come alive. Math instruction encourages
creative problem-solving, as well as, the use of some drill and
practice. Students are involved in investigating, questioning,
discussing, and justifying math skills as they relate to every day life.
The use of technology, manipulatives and the collection and recording of
data are evidenced by our students' ability to represent and display
their results. Student understandings are deepened in social science as
they participate in cooperative learning groups, carouseling, providing
responses to research focused questions, and fostering the respect for
multiple perspectives. Graphic organizers are used by the students to
record and represent visually their road map for learning.

**5. Professional Development:** The professional development at ISEMS
is aligned with the school improvement plan that drives our
instructional focus. Intensive training is mandated by Reading First and
the International Baccalaureate Organization. Explicit and systematic
initial training for both philosophies is afforded to all educators at
ISEMS. In an effort to maintain the integrity of both instructional
frameworks, teachers are provided with ongoing re-delivery of updated
information. Teachers participate in different models of professional
learning activities. Monthly book studies give teachers opportunities to
model best practices and implement them in their classrooms. The
administrators, literacy coach, and IB coordinator facilitate and assess
the effectiveness of this process. Another method of disseminating
information and obtaining feedback occurs during our weekly grade level
collaborations. Teachers analyze student data and share ideas for
addressing concerns indicated by assessments and reflections. The six
units of inquiry required in the Primary Years Program are written and
revised during this time. Teachers attending conferences are encouraged
to share pertinent information at faculty meetings. School visits are
scheduled for teachers to observe and dialogue with other educators
around the world who share similar professional goals. On-going
professional learning keeps our educators abreast of current trends
within the educational realm.
