**PART III ‑ SUMMARY**

Built in 1956, Mary Wadsworth Buckner Elementary School recently
celebrated 50 years of educating students in Wichita. An addition to the
building was made in the 1960s and a major expansion was done in 2004.

Buckner started as a pure neighborhood school in the northeast section
of Wichita and in 1992 became a magnet school emphasizing the performing
arts as part of a desegregation plan. Currently, Buckner is a partial
neighborhood magnet. Non-African-American students automatically come to
Buckner and all others come through the magnet lottery process.

Buckner is an Elementary Performing Arts Magnet School that serves
students in grades pre-kindergarten-5. Our students are involved in
curricula that integrates the core state standards with the Performing
Arts. The Performing Arts includes classes in art, music, dance,
physical education, and drama. The arts are also integrated into the
delivery of the core curriculum in the regular classroom.

Before Buckner became a Performing Arts Magnet the students were
struggling academically. The staff recognized the need to deliver the
curriculum in a different manner. Research indicated that applying the
Theory of Multiple Intelligences would improve student performance.
Multiple intelligences is a natural way to structure learning.
Intelligence involves the ability to create or resolve problems based on
the individual's innate framework. Multiple intelligences are helpful
for everyone especially for people with learning disabilities. There are
seven types of intelligences, eight including the naturalist:
linguistic, logical-mathematical, spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, musical,
interpersonal and intrapersonal. Students knowing their own unique
learning style can develop strategies to compensate for their weaknesses
and capitalize on their strengths.

Thus, Performing Arts was selected. Since 1992, Buckner's academic
performance has improved and students continue to demonstrate success
despite increased poverty levels, increased special education services
and increased single parent family status.

Our district serves 48,770 students of which 46% are male and 54% are
female. The total African-American population is 24%, Hispanic is 25%,
Asian-American is 6%, American-Indian is 4% and White is 41%. The total
percentage of special education students is 20%.

As of September 20^th^, 2006 Buckner's official enrollment was 340.
There were 46% males and 54% females. The racial breakdown was 52%
African-American, 6% Hispanic, 5% Asian-American, 2% American Indian and
35% White. 49% of our students were eligible for free or reduced priced
lunches. We had 20% of our students identified as special education.
This percentage included disabled as well as gifted. The average number
of students per classroom was 20. They ranged in number from 19 in
pre-kindergarten to 26 in one of the 3^rd^ grade classrooms. Our school
focuses upon the needs of all students. The staff identifies the
strengths and weaknesses of all students through formative data
collection, and strategies are developed to enable the students to be
successful. The arts support and enhance those strategies. Through
performance activities our students are able to strengthen reading and
problem-solving skills. The performances also provide an outlet for
creativity and help develop the whole child.

Buckner believes that an individual's multiple intelligences are
activated and strengthened through involvement in and exposure to the
arts. Our staff provides a student-centered program that integrates
traditional academics with education in the performing arts. Our school
mission is "To ensure each child reaches his/her optimum level of
academic achievement through the use of grade level standards and
interventions that include integration and exploration of dance, drama,
visual arts and music.

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

1.  **[Assessment Results:]{.smallcaps}**

Kansas administers State Assessments in reading, mathematics, writing,
and science prepared by the Center for Educational Testing and
Evaluation at the University of Kansas. These are based on state
standards found on the Kansas State Department of Education website,
[www.ksde.org](http://www.ksde.org/). The Kansas Reading and Mathematics
Assessments are administered online to third, fourth, and fifth grade
students, and are part of the Quality Performance Accreditation process.

To meet the Kansas Standards students are expected to perform at the
*Meets Standard* level, or above, in math and reading. To achieve the
State Standard of Excellence, a school must have at least 25 percent of
students achieving at the *Exemplary* level and no more than 5 percent
in *Academic Warning*. Buckner Elementary earned the State Standard of
Excellence Award in Reading in 2006 and in Math in both 2005 and 2006.

This past year, Kansas students were given a new generation of
assessments, creating a new assessment baseline with new performance
category names. This year's results and prior years' results, therefore,
are not comparable. Subgroups with fewer than 10 students are marked in
the accompanying tables as N/A.

Our performance data for the Kansas Reading Assessment, for fifth
graders uses these performance levels and cut points:

-   *Exemplary* 88-100: Student independently demonstrates the ability
    to go beyond the text consistently.

-   *Exceeds Standard* 80-87: Student independently demonstrates
    inferential understanding within a text.

-   *Meets Standard* 68-79: Student demonstrates a literal understanding
    of text with instructional support before, during, and/or after
    reading.

-   *Approaches Standard* 57-67: Student requires extensive support in
    decoding text. Application of knowledge and skills is limited,
    inconsistent, or incomplete. Intervention is necessary.

-   *Academic Warning* 0-56: Student does not meet any of the preceding
    criteria.

Over the last five years, an increasing proportion of students have
scored in the upper performance levels. In 2006, nearly all fifth grade
students scored in the *Meets Standard* performance level or higher,
with more than half of the students scoring in the *Exemplary* level.
Although our White students continue to outperform our other subgroups;
all disaggregated groups continue to score higher than district or state
averages. In 2005 Eisenhower received the Kansas Challenge Award for
student achievement in fifth grade reading, despite facing significant
challenges in our school population.

Our performance data for the Kansas Math Assessment, for fifth graders
uses these performance levels and cut points:

-   *Exemplary* 89-100: Student demonstrates superior knowledge and a
    comprehensive understanding of all mathematic standards (number
    sense, algebraic concepts, geometry, and data interpretation).

-   *Exceeds Standard* 80-88: Student demonstrates a high level of
    knowledge and comprehension within at least 3 of the 4 standards.

-   *Meets Standard* 63-79: Student demonstrates sound knowledge and
    understanding within 4 areas of the standards, but may not be able
    to apply his or her understanding within each of the 4 areas.

-   *Approaches Standard* 54-62: Student is having difficulty
    consistently demonstrating basic skills, concepts, and procedures
    across one or more standards.

-   *Academic Warning* 0-53: Student does not demonstrate understanding
    of facts, concepts, or procedures across one or more standards.

Math assessment scores have trended toward the upper performance levels.
77 percent of Eisenhower fifth graders scored in the *Exemplary* level,
compared to 24 percent of Kansas fifth graders. When indicators are
averaged, our students scored above the state average by almost 20
percentage points. White students generally scored higher than other
ethnic subpopulations, although all students scored at, or above, the
*Meets Standard* performance level.

2.  **[Using Assessment Results]{.smallcaps}:**

Assessment data are used to identify patterns of strengths and
weaknesses of students and teachers, to develop appropriate
instructional strategies, to coordinate the efforts of our professional
learning community, and to select relevant professional development
topics promoting maximum student growth and achievement.

Test scores are disaggregated and analyzed by the staff as a whole and
as grade level teams. Daily, quarterly, and annual data are reviewed to
help identify student strengths and weaknesses as groups and as
individuals. Keeping in mind best practices educational research,
instructional strategies are selected to meet the needs suggested by the
data. These strategies include multiple intelligences activities,
tutoring, cooperative learning, direct instruction, discovery learning,
whole-group discussion, independent study, inquiry, and
convergent/divergent questioning. Further analysis of data often
suggests strengths and weaknesses of teachers themselves. Grade level
team meetings allow for discussion and sharing of strategies or
procedures meeting with greatest success. Team members are able to take
advantage of each other's strengths. Data are at the core of every
instructional decision.

Formative and summative assessments are used to direct goals producing
efficient, effective collaboration among teachers, campus support
personnel, and administration. This information influences short as well
as long term goals set by the teachers. When appropriate, horizontal and
vertical grade level teaming is implemented. Support staff are often
included when data suggests a need. Conferences with parents and
students include reporting of assessment results and suggestions for
home support. As a result, parents and other community members are
partners with our school in an aligned effort to develop students who
are proficient and focused.

Needs identified from the data also influence the selection of
professional development topics and activities. These activities have
clear connections for immediate classroom application. Data are
collected in a timely manner to evaluate the success of these activities
or interventions.

3.  **[Communicating Assessment Results:]{.smallcaps}**

    The Buckner Performing Arts staff has multiple ways of communicating
    student performance to parents, students and the community.
    Students, parents and the community can retrieve assessment data for
    the school and district by going to the Kansas State Department of
    Education website. A summary of this data are also reported in the
    local newspaper.

    The staff communicates individual student performance to parents via
    email, individual notes home, quarterly report cards, individual
    progress reports, parent phone calls, the Buckner Brief (monthly
    school newsletter) that shares upcoming assessment schedules, and
    classroom web pages. Parent/teacher conferences are also scheduled
    twice a year to share student performance in the classroom and in
    the performing arts classes.

    Communicating student performance with students is done on a regular
    basis. Teachers have student/teacher conferences to share their
    academic success as well as the areas where improvement is needed.
    Students in grades 3-5 use agendas, which are individual spiral
    notebooks for the teacher to share their performance, homework
    schedule and assessment data with parents. Pre-Assessment folders
    are created with practice sheets in preparation for state
    assessments in grades 3-5 and feedback is given to the students on a
    weekly basis to discuss their performance. Grades are discussed with
    the students and goals are set on a quarterly basis with students
    and parents. Buckner students continuously receive classroom
    feedback to guide them as they work to develop academic and social
    skills.

    Student performance is communicated with the community through Site
    Council meetings, Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO) meetings, the
    Buckner Brief and through Open Honest Dialogues, an event where
    multiple participant groups (students, parents, staff and community)
    are invited to come together to share from their perspectives, the
    academic success of the school, state assessment results, things
    that are going well at the school and areas of improvement. Buckner
    also shares student performance in the Northeast neighborhood
    monthly newsletter.

4.  **[Sharing Success:]{.smallcaps}**

Buckner shares its successes with the community in a number of ways.
Student teachers, co-op teachers, teachers and administrators throughout
the district, as well as cultural exchange program teachers observe in
our classrooms. Staff members present numerous workshops, facilitate
trainings, and conduct conferences city wide, statewide, and nationally.
Faculty members serve on committees to develop standards and curricula.
Some are lead trainers in the areas of diversity and technology
integration.

Yearly, Buckner showcases its program in a citywide Choices Fair, an
event that in one central location gives parents and students an
opportunity to learn about the district's different schools and
programs. Visitors meet with school staff, students and other parents to
determine which school or program might best meet their child\'s
educational needs. The Choices Fair also gives visitors the opportunity
to learn about the Wichita Public School district itself. In addition,
Buckner has been invited numerous times to participate in the KSDE
"Showcase for Success," an annual event celebrating successful schools.
In collaboration with Arts Partners, a video documenting the creative
process of an original project and the integration of the arts into the
core curriculum was produced and has recently aired on a local TV
channel and been shared at staff in-services throughout the district.
Students regularly perform for district sponsored events. Many students
have broadcast the district news on the district's cable channel. Using
the Metropolitan Opera Guild's Creating Original Opera training format,
three original operas have been created and performed by students for
audiences from public and private schools. Through a partnership with
Wichita Children's Theater and Dance Center, Buckner students have
performed at various public events. Many students have participated in
area choirs and orchestras. Students' artwork has been displayed at
local banks, businesses, and museums. Annually, all students perform in
major productions which are open to the public and aired on local
television. Highlights at Buckner are featured in the district's online
newsletter and local newspapers.

Many of our staff members have received awards for teaching excellence.
Several teach at the college level in their field of expertise as well
as at local arts organizations. All teachers have presented parent
involvement workshops focusing on curriculum content.

**PART V -- CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION**

1.  **[Curriculum:]{.smallcaps}**

The arts are heavily integrated into the curriculum and instructional
practices at Buckner and academic excellence is promoted for all
students. The district mandates the scheduling of a 90 minute reading
block followed by 30 minutes of reading interventions, a 60 minute math
block followed by 30 minutes of math interventions and a 30 minute
writing block. Additional learning blocks in science, social studies,
reader's theatre, library, music, physical education, art, dance and
drama are also included in this rigorous schedule.

The **language arts** **curriculum** at Buckner is based on the Four
Block Model, a framework incorporating four different approaches to
teaching children to read - Guided Reading, Self-Selected Reading,
Writing, and Working with Words. Lessons are extended and enriched by
researching a topic, creating a visual product, rewriting the ending to
a story, writing and performing a song, acting out the story, making a
poster and writing poems.

Our **mathematics** **curriculum** features a hands-on approach to
teaching mathematics which emphasizes real-world application. The
curriculum stresses and promotes higher-order thinking skills, working
with peers, cooperative learning and the integration of multiple
intelligences. Our program is strongly research-based and student
centered and has resulted in high student achievement. Teachers follow
the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics math standards in
conjunction with state math benchmarks and the framework for all
instruction is supplied by district scope and sequence guides.

**The science** **curriculum** at Buckner invites children into the
world of inquiry. Hands-on and minds-on experiences are fundamental to
our approach. Children are asked to investigate and inquire using
processes that real life scientists use. Emphasizing observation,
planning, measurement, data collection, and creativity, our science
program naturally integrates the curriculum, bringing higher order
thinking skills into application. Our program fosters curiosity and
actively involves our students in discovering the dynamic nature of
science.

The **social studies curriculum** is enhanced by various projects
initiated by both the teachers and the performing arts team. Many of the
main stage performances are based on historical events. As part of a
collaboration with Arts Partners, students gave a performance about the
history of music. Large panels depicting the music's history were
constructed for the stage and are now permanently displayed in the
school.

Because of the **art curriculum** Buckner is a delightful showplace
filled with student artwork. The art class is an exciting place where
students can explore a world of ideas and express their thoughts and
feelings. Through hands-on production, students stretch their creativity
and explore many possibilities for solving art problems. Along the way
they discover the joy of making visual statements. Students develop
their own way of communicating meaning and also learn to see how other
artists share ideas.

The **music curriculum** at Buckner teaches a variety of musical styles
while focusing on music reading skills, vocal production techniques, and
standards adopted by the Wichita district. Major original productions
presented to the public often marry music with drama, dance and art. As
a bonus, first through fifth graders receive instruction in piano and
kindergarteners have the opportunity for exploration on the keyboards.
Students are able to take their learning to another level, cementing the
foundations of their education by integrating reading, writing and math
into the arts through specially designed programs and projects with
community artists.

The **dance curriculum** combines drama, music, and visual design into a
moving, breathing art form that strengthens not only the body but the
spirits of self-expression and self-discipline. Dancers at Buckner have
exposure to ballet, jazz, modern, and tap. Dancers are taught proper
technique, terminology, study various cultures, and develop a working
knowledge of the human anatomy.

**[2a. (Elementary Schools) Reading:]{.smallcaps}**

Buckner's reading curriculum combines leveled readers, basal
anthologies, and children's literature in all grades. The teachers use a
combination of approaches to meet the needs of all students.

Buckner uses the district adopted research-based reading curriculum
because it targets the indicators of reading success identified by the
National Reading Panel -- phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency,
vocabulary, and text comprehension. The district's adopted reading
curriculum includes whole class instruction, strong progress monitoring,
and daily small group lessons which allow for differentiated
instruction. This curriculum provides the teachers with explicit
instruction, decision-making information and specific lessons for all
levels of students. As part of reading instruction at Buckner, students
have the opportunity to move within various reading groups as their
needs change. Students are challenged with appropriate text during small
and whole group instruction.

Working within the reading adoption, Buckner uses a model reading
approach that is split into four areas: guided reading, working with
words, writer's workshop, and self-selected reading. Guided reading
involves the whole group. It includes before, during, and after reading
comprehension strategies, understanding literary elements and text
structures. In the working with words section, the teachers focus on
phonics, word families, decoding, and context clues. The teachers use a
variety of strategies such as word walls, grade level sight word lists,
and word building activities. Writer's workshop focuses on mini-lessons
that reinforce the six traits of writing as well as the various forms of
writing (e.g. persuasive, or letter writing). The self-selected piece
allows the teacher to conduct fluency modeling and practice as well as
have individual conferences with students to talk about their reading.

The performing arts piece is not lost in this reading curriculum. All of
the teachers use the performing arts to enhance their reading lessons.
Some examples of this are math songs, role playing of historical
characters, creating songs using vocabulary words, and special guest
speakers. We have also done "Poetry Comes Alive", which works on voice
and fluency.

3.  **[Additional Curriculum Area:]{.smallcaps}**

Drama class at Buckner is high interest, high energy, and is highly
engaging. Through a variety of drama activities, students are given
opportunities to perceive, imagine, communicate, and respond to the
world inside and out, by engaging their minds, feelings, bodies and
voices. Movement, pantomime, improvisation, character analysis,
dramatizations, role play, puppetry, play-making and play writing are a
few of the areas of development explored as drama is integrated with the
core curriculum. A number of language arts, social studies, and science
standards are taught and reinforced in drama.

While much time is spent on theater skills and arts integration,
students also grow in self-confidence. They begin to develop and
communicate an awareness of self and society. Creative thinking,
interpersonal skills, and appreciation and understanding of human values
are fostered. Other life skills are improved such as communication,
decision-making and problem solving.

Students are given many opportunities to perform, but the process of
creating theatre is very valuable in and of itself. While drama classes
are often an exciting and magical experience, theatre is serious. It has
form, discipline, and structure and it complements other subjects by
making students better thinkers.

In addition to their weekly drama time and special rehearsals,
2^nd^-5^th^ graders participate weekly in Reader's Theater. It is an
exciting, highly motivational way to have success in reading. It
encourages strong oral skills and allows students to explore literature
in a new form. Students beg for opportunities to perform.

Some of the most effective and enjoyable lessons have been those which
have been taught in collaboration with the classroom teachers. When this
is done, we are better equipped to help our students make connections.
We are also able to optimize learning and teaching by engaging a variety
of learning styles and human intelligences and by integrating cognitive
functions.

4.  **[Instructional Methods:]{.smallcaps}**

Our entire Buckner staff is highly motivated to ensure success for all
students. To accomplish this goal, we have a rigorous curriculum taught
using various multiple intelligences that constantly challenges our
students academically. The mission of our school states: *To ensure each
child's educational needs will be met through the use of grade level
standards and interventions that include integration and exploration of
dance, drama, visual arts and music.* Differentiated instruction is a
major component of our staff development plan. District trained
facilitators teach teachers the strategies needed to differentiate
instruction. A continuum of lessons are planned which differentiate
instruction according to learning styles and student ability.

Inquiry based hands-on math, science inquiry method, reading and writing
researched-based methods create a student-centered environment and
reinforce student accountability. Students are provided the opportunity
to work in small groups, cooperative groups and one-on-one with the
teacher.

Research-based instruction is complemented by daily integration of the
arts by professionals in each of the arts disciplines. Addressing the
varying learning styles of students provides a connection between the
child's learning style and the instruction that is meaningful,
motivating and enriching.

5.  **[Professional Development:]{.smallcaps}**

Professional Development (PD) at Buckner is designed with careful
consideration of data and student needs. Staff members attend monthly PD
sessions that include data analysis and research-based instructional
methods. The comprehensive analysis of student data included in our
Campus Improvement Plan drives the direction for the trainings and
includes methods for making cross-curricular connections and integrating
the arts. This Results Based Staff Development Plan outlined in the
Campus Improvement Plan looks at: goals, professional development
strategies, timelines, person(s) responsible, resources and evaluations.
The PD sessions are led by our campus support teacher, administrator and
other district curriculum specialists. Professional Development sessions
expose teachers to new research-based strategies, as well as continuous
review of which strategies work and which need revision. These sessions
also give teachers an opportunity to inquire sensitively, listen
carefully and look thoughtfully at student work and abilities.

Professional Development directly supports the district and state
standards and focuses on areas of lowest performance. Based on data,
specific areas of concern are identified and addressed. Core areas
include reading, writing and math. Our scores have been consistently
high in these areas therefore we continue to implement strategies that
promote high student achievement. The arts play a large role in
providing a powerful vehicle for enrichment and rigorous learning. The
music, art, and physical education teachers attend professional
development with other district teachers within the same discipline.
Buckner is the only performing arts elementary school in the district,
therefore the dance and drama teachers have the option to attend
workshops at Wichita State University or join one of the other
disciplines. Further, our professional development program guides
teaching in ways that honor and celebrate each learner's unique
abilities and recognize cultural differences, family experiences,
developed intelligences, and approaches to learning.
