**PART III ‑ SUMMARY**

Windy Ridge School was established in 1990 and is located in southwest
Orange County in Orlando, Florida. Situated between the two subdivisions
of Willow Wood and Cypress Landing, the school received approval in 1997
to add sixth, seventh, and eighth grades in a magnet program which
provides a continuum of educational opportunities for students in the
West Learning Community. Windy Ridge is one of three K-8 schools in a
district of 155 schools. Our school district is the fifth largest in
Florida and the twelfth largest in the nation. Windy Ridge has a diverse
school population of approximately 1132 students in grades Pre-K through
Eighth, consisting of approximately 62% white, 23% black, and 15% other
minorities. One hundred twenty-four of our students are acquiring
English as a second language and represent nineteen different language
backgrounds.

Our staff members total 144 in the area of instruction and support
personnel. Six of our teachers are National Board Certified. Many
teachers have or are working on advanced degrees and regularly
participate in off-site, as well as job-embedded staff development
activities, including action research projects and peer coaching. Windy
Ridge is an Exceptional Student Education Center for 22 area schools,
with 37.8% of our students in exceptional education programs that
include AAIM (highly gifted), Physically Impaired, Trainable Mentally
Handicapped, Emotionally Handicapped, and Specific Learning
Disabilities. Twenty-eight percent of Windy Ridge students qualify for
free or reduced lunch. The school has a very active PTA, and thousands
of ADDitions (volunteer) hours are accumulated each year earning them
local and national recognition.

We believe strongly in the home school partnership and invite parents to
school regularly to share information and celebrate successes. Parents
attend parent/teacher conferences and family curriculum nights. We also
have a community outreach program to accommodate parents of students who
do not live close to school. Parents are provided reading and math
strategies along with materials and supplies to support the learning
process at home.

In order to meet the many and diverse needs of our student population,
the highly qualified Windy Ridge faculty and staff have committed to the
ideas, methods, and philosophies of cooperative learning, differentiated
and integrated curriculum. We further believe that we will achieve our
goals through teamwork. Teams of teachers and other staff members work
together in the spirit of problem-solving and continuous improvement. To
promote success, it is critical for children to work together
academically and socially, helping each other set and meet goals. Our
High Flyers (goal setting and attaining) and K.A.R.E. (Keeping a
Respectful Environment which includes anti-bullying) programs provide
for a school wide focus on high expectations for behavior and academics.
Extracurricular activities include Student Government, Band, Strings,
Yearbook, Drama and Chorus. Working together helps everyone, adults as
well as students, to develop self-respect and concern for others.

A cooperative school depends on the total environment for students to
develop the necessary skills for becoming valuable members of society.
Windy Ridge School works towards meeting the challenge of every child
achieving by holding monthly data meetings to discuss student academic
and social needs. Needs are identified, resources allocated and a plan
is put into affect. Plans for improvement include frequent assessment of
student learning, analysis of data, adjusting teaching strategies and
providing interventions. Interventions include tutoring, computer
programs to strengthen reading and math skills, student assistants and a
peer mentoring program called Accountability Partners.

The vision of the Windy Ridge School learning community is to create and
maintain a cooperative, positive, educational environment that will
provide our students with the skills they need for success in our
society today and tomorrow. As teachers, parents, and community members,
we will encourage Windy Ridge students to develop their talents and
nurture their character so they may become proud, productive citizens of
our state, our country, and our world.

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

**1. Assessment Results:**

The Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT) measures student
progress of the Sunshine State Standards in the areas of reading
(3^rd^-8^th^ grade), math (3^rd^-8^th^ grade), writing (4^th^ & 8^th^
grade) and science (5^th^ & 8^th^). At Windy Ridge School, test results
show that 92% of our students are reading at or above grade level as
demonstrated by scoring a level three or higher on a scale of 1-5. A
student scoring at achievement level 5 means that the student answered
most of the questions correctly including the most challenging
questions. A student scoring at level 4 answers most of the test
questions correctly but may have only some success with questions that
reflect the most challenging content. Students scoring at level 3 answer
many of the test questions correctly but are generally less successful
with questions that are most challenging. Level 2 indicates that the
student has limited success with the challenging content of the Sunshine
State Standards.

Windy Ridge School has met the Federal 30 point criteria under the No
Child Left Behind Adequate Yearly Progress legislation. Subgroups
include Second Language Learners, Exceptional Education students,
minority students and economically disadvantaged students. Each of these
groups showed significant learning gains as measured by the FCAT.

These results earned our school a total of 514 points on the state of
Florida's school grading criteria where 410 points or more earns the
school a grade of A. Schools earn one point for each percent of students
who score in achievement levels of 3, 4 or 5 in reading and one point
for each percent of students who score 3, 4 or 5 in math. One point is
earned for each percent of students scoring 3.5 or above in writing. The
writing exam is scored by at least two readers on a scale of 1-6 (1
being the lowest score). Schools earn one point for each percent of
students who make learning gains in reading and one point for each
percent of students who make learning gains in math. Students can
demonstrate learning gains in any one of three categories;

> 1\. Improve achievement levels from 1-2, 2-3, 3-4, or 4-5.
>
> 2\. Maintain within the relatively high levels of 3, 4 or 5.
>
> 3\. Demonstrate more than one year's growth within achievement levels
> 1 or 2 (does not include retained students).

Special attention is given to the reading gains of students in the
lowest levels 1, 2 or 3 in each school. Schools earn one point for each
percent of the lowest performing readers who make learning gains from
the previous year. It takes at least 50% to make "adequate progress" for
this group. Meeting the criteria to receive an "A" also includes testing
at least 95% of eligible students. Results, scores, and grades can be
obtained at <http://firn.edu/doe/sas/fcat.htm> , which is part of the
Florida Department of Education website.

**2. Using Assessment Results:**

At the beginning of each year State Assessment (FCAT) results are
perused and analyzed. Teachers and administrators determine successes
and areas needing attention. Students in the lower 30% in reading and
math are identified. Students who score close to the next level higher
or lower are identified. The results of each reading and math curriculum
strand are analyzed by grade level group, class group and individual
student. Initial or beginning of the year assessments are administered
and compared to FCAT results. Students in the lower 30% are tracked
monthly with classroom assessments. Students are assessed in the
curriculum strand areas and instruction is adjusted as necessary.
Benchmark testing results are reviewed and students are placed in
strategy or skills groups in order to target areas of need. At grade
level team meetings, teachers share successful strategies and
interventions that are working. If a particular intervention is not
working for all students then they brainstorm new ones. Teachers along
with administrators discuss student performance to determine if
classroom grade level or school wide interventions are needed. Parent
meetings are set up as needed, both to inform parents and gather input
regarding the student in order to best meet student needs. Resource
personnel are included, such as reading specialist, guidance counselor
or other resource teacher. Material or personnel resources are
identified. Students may need tutoring or to participate in a particular
computer program or be assigned to a different small group. A variety of
assessments are used to monitor progress throughout the year and these
assessments are considered along with teacher observation to determine
next steps for students. Students are encouraged to track their own
progress through the use of rubrics, charting or graphing growth and
setting goals. We believe that focusing on effective teaching
strategies, frequent review of student data and close monitoring of
student progress helps us impact student and school performance.

**3. Communicating Assessment Results:**

Overall school performance is communicated to parents and staff through
our School Improvement Plan. The school improvement plan is available
for community review. State assessment results from the previous year
and goals for the upcoming year are documented. Parents receive a copy
of individual student test results.

Our school uses a student planner for home/school communication.
Students also have take home folders or binders in which test results,
class work or other student progress monitoring tools are shared with
parents. Parents are invited to school twice per year to a formal
conference with the teacher. At this time the report card is discussed,
grade level expectations are communicated and student progress is
reviewed. Parents are encouraged to communicate with teachers frequently
and additional conferences can be set up at any time. Report cards are
provided four times per year and progress reports are provided at the
mid-point of each report card period.

School staff holds informational meetings regarding assessments
administered at the school throughout the year. The purpose is for
parents to understand the expectations for performance as well as how to
interpret the results. Informational brochures are distributed. Parents
are invited to view student portfolios, attend drama and musical
performances and view student artwork. Chorus and band perform in the
community and artwork is displayed in the community. Student achievement
is shared with the local newspaper and students are recognized.

Students are encouraged to set goals and monitor their own progress.
Teachers assist students in goal setting and monitor their progress.
Students are recognized for goal achievement. Students receive timely
feedback on assessments and participate in student teacher conferences
or peer conferences. Award ceremonies are held four times per year to
recognize outstanding accomplishments. Students are recognized in school
newsletters, the school website and on morning announcements which is
broadcast via close circuit T.V.

**4. Sharing Success:**

School data (results of benchmark testing, movement within the lower 30
% of the student population or results of the implementation of a
teaching strategy) is shared at monthly principal meetings. At these
meetings, specific strategies for student motivation and continued
progress are shared and discussed as well as results of specific
programs. This forum gives us an opportunity to showcase the positive
results we are experiencing. It also allows us to further enhance
student achievement.

Teachers attending staff development workshops will share successes with
teachers from other schools as they review data gathered from strategy
or program implementation. An example of this is two primary teachers
attending a workshop to learn a technique to improve student decoding
strategies will implement the technique and share results with teachers
from other schools. Administration who has participated in Classroom
Walk Through training will share data gathered through the Classroom
Walk Through process with other administrators.

Windy Ridge has developed a partnership with another school to provide
community outreach. Our partner school, Ivey Lane Elementary has a high
percentage of economically disadvantaged students. Many of our
economically disadvantaged students live close to our partner school.
Ivey Lane provides us with a convenient location for our families to
attend parent workshops. The school is also allowing our students to
attend an after school tutoring program. Our school is providing funds
to provide resources for the tutoring program. Our two schools will
continue to communicate ideas regarding how each can continue to assist
in each other's goals for student achievement.

Our teachers collaborate with teachers from neighboring schools on
various curriculum projects and share success stories. As we become more
comfortable with peer coaching, we will open ourselves more to peer
observations from outside our school as a way to share our successes
with other schools.

**PART V -- CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION**

**1. Curriculum:**

Windy Ridge teachers' knowledge of the state standards and their
teamwork when it comes to planning and implementing the curriculum sets
the stage for high and consistent expectations.

The curriculum is child-centered and a variety of teaching methods are
utilized to encourage active involvement on the part of the students in
their own learning. Students are expected to set goals, problem-solve
and use critical thinking skills throughout the school day. Great
literature and informational texts are woven into all curriculum areas
to provide rich learning experiences. A focus on curriculum integration
provides students opportunities to see relationships within and between
different subjects as well as seeing the relationship between the
content of a lesson and the real world. Our math curriculum stresses how
we use math in everyday situations and how there are several ways to
arrive at the same answer. Students learn math and science concepts
through active involvement consisting of hands-on activities which
include games, data gathering and testing hypotheses. Students'
enthusiasm for peer interaction, as well as their natural curiosity for
discovery, inspires our approach to the curriculum. The social studies
curriculum incorporates the use of primary sources to stimulate
understanding of complex topics.

The Windy Ridge curriculum consists of a balanced literacy program that
focuses on the development of phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency,
vocabulary and comprehension. Reading is a core subject from
kindergarten through eighth grade and reading strategies are emphasized
in every content area. Students participate in guided, shared and
independent reading. The Accelerated Reader program motivates students
to read more and the Success Maker program provides practice of needed
skills. Writing is considered an integral part of our literacy program.
Students are taught how to generate ideas for writing and how to
organize their thoughts with Thinking Maps. Students are encouraged to
write for meaningful purposes through pen pals, letters to the
principal, and entering writing competitions.

Middle school level students experience a smaller middle school
environment where expectations are high and support is strong. The
teachers use a team approach and emphasize integration of the content as
much as possible. Students in grades 6-8 take reading, math, science,
social studies and language arts. Students have the opportunity if they
meet the criteria, to take advanced language arts or math classes.
Middle School students have a variety of exploratory classes to choose
from; Art, Band, Drama, P.E., Patches (quilting), Student Assistants
(peer tutoring), Accountability Partners (mentoring newcomers), Spanish,
Media Production or S.A.V.E. Club (Students Against Violence
Everywhere). A strings teacher is also available. Students at Windy
Ridge are exposed to a well rounded curriculum through art, music,
physical education, computer literacy and science. Science was added to
this rotation in order to provide enhanced vertical alignment of
concepts and skills. The rigor of the core subjects prepares the
students well for the transition to high school. We receive feedback
from our feeder high school that students from Windy Ridge make a smooth
transition into the large high school environment. Students who have
studied Spanish and Algebra are able to obtain high school credit.

Academics are also balanced with our Character Education and
Anti-Bullying programs. Our Guidance Counselor and Safe Coordinator
provide a comprehensive proactive approach to a positive learning
environment. Through classroom guidance lessons on topics such as anger
management, tolerance of others, organizational skills, coping with
change, we are able to establish the importance of a student's emotional
well-being and the correlation to academic success. Students are always
encouraged to keep striving. Our school motto is "Soaring to New
Heights". Our students demonstrate our school motto by participating in
enrichment activities such as class projects, setting new goals, forming
better social relationships, and entering academic competitions.

**2a.** **(Elementary Schools)** **Reading:**

Houghton Mifflin -- "Invitations to Literacy" is the core reading
program adopted by Orange County Public School district.  This
completely integrated reading and language arts program brings together
award-winning literature, real-world resources, and materials to meet
individual student needs.  It is designed to help all students become
confident, motivated readers and writers. Every child benefits from the
various resources that meet the broadest possible range of academic
needs in reading.  Students are engaged in whole group and small group
instruction for ninety minutes daily.  Systematic, scaffolded,
small-group instruction is provided to promote comprehension.
Instructional strategies include the use of decoding, reciprocal
teaching, and Thinking Maps graphic organizers.

The Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (DIBELS) and the
Degrees of Reading Power (DRP) reading assessments are periodically
administered to monitor student growth and to guide the reading
instruction.  The Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills
(DIBELS) are a set of standardized, individually administered measures
of early literacy development. They are short, one minute fluency
measures used to regularly monitor the development of pre-reading and
early reading skills. The Degrees of Reading Power (DRP) tests are
group-administered measures of how well students understand the surface
meaning of what they read. They measure the process of reading rather
than products of reading such as main idea and author purpose. The tests
are administered three times a year, to students in Grades 3-5.

**2b. (Secondary Schools) English:**

The English language curriculum at Windy Ridge School is based on the
Florida Sunshine

State Standards for grades six through eight. These standards were
created to ensure rigorous student

academic performance. The ultimate purpose of the English language
curriculum is to provide

students with integrated educational experiences in the language arts
strands of reading, writing, listening,

viewing, speaking, language and literature. Students are immersed in
meaningful activities, thus learning

the skills and strategies of proficient readers and writers. Listening,
speaking, viewing, reading, writing,

language and literature are part of daily instruction to, with and by
students. The content of the Language

Arts classroom includes the includes students being able to use the
reading process to construct meaning

from a wide range of literary, informational, and technical texts,
students using the writing process

effectively to communicate information and ideas, students understanding
common features of a variety of

literary forms, students understanding and using language in authentic
contexts and students responding

critically to visual, oral and written texts.

Throughout our comprehensive English language curriculum, students write
in response to

literature and for a wide variety of other purposes. When they write
they use process writing; that is,

they follow the same steps used by effective writers: selecting the
topic, drafting, revising,

proof reading and publishing. During reading instruction, students read
independently, are engaged in s

hared reading activities, participate in guided reading groups at each
student's instructional level and listen

and respond to teacher read-alouds. Phonemic awareness, phonics,
fluency, vocabulary, comprehension

and assessment are the critical elements of the secondary reading
program at Windy Ridge School. In

addition to providing students with small group instruction, students
that are below grade level in reading

are placed in a co-teach class with a general education teacher and an
exceptional education teacher.

Students that are below grade level in reading are also provided the
opportunity to utilize a reading

computer tutorial program 20 minutes a day to increase comprehension
skills. Teachers provide before

school tutoring sessions and administrators conduct Test Talks with
students to review district and

classroom assessment data.

Improving the reading skills of students is a primary focus of all
teachers at Windy ridge School.

We continue to implement reading best practices in all content areas.

3.  **Mathematics, Science, Art, Etc.:**

At Windy Ridge the Science curriculum focuses on critical thinking and
problem solving through a practical application approach. Students are
taught how, as well as how to and why. We understand that students need
to "experience" science through hands on activities. All Science classes
are laboratory based. Students participate in experiments and projects.
Students engage in group projects that are interdisciplinary in nature
using integrated technologies. The scientific method is practiced by
either identifying or being presented with a problem and then working as
a cooperative team towards developing solutions. These activities
provide them with real world opportunities to solve tangible problems
that produce realistic results. To ensure successful preparation for our
eighth grade students on the state science exam which is comprehensive
of sixth through eighth grade science concepts, sixth and seventh grade
teachers review skills with our students prior to the exam. Science
teachers attend content area workshops as well as training in applying
reading strategies to the science classroom. This enhances our
philosophy of an integrated curriculum where multiple skills are needed
in each content area. Our science teachers write grants and have been
awarded grants so students can have "field experiences" as another
vehicle to apply their knowledge. We have recently implemented a
vertical alignment model in which a science teacher is on our special
area rotation schedule. This allows her to see all students in the
school throughout the year and work closely with grade level teams. This
plan moves our school improvement plan forward by increasing vertical
alignment and reducing redundancy of skills.

**4. Instructional Methods:**

Windy Ridge School is a school with many diverse learners. Understanding
that "one size does not fit all," our goal is to identify the strength
and uniqueness in every student on our campus to ensure that each
student reaches his/her fullest potential. Teachers at Windy Ridge
School implement various instructional methods to improve student
achievement. Differentiated instruction is the primary vehicle that
teachers utilize to guarantee that students succeed and achieve in
school. Differentiation is not a set of resources and materials, but a
philosophy that teachers embrace to meet the needs of every learner. A
differentiated classroom is a classroom where students are instructed on
their level and are offered challenging materials along with appropriate
options to experience academic success. Teachers at our school
differentiate the content that students learn, the assessment tools
being used, the performance tasks selected (activities) and
instructional strategies.

At the beginning of the school year, teachers provide students with
interest surveys in an effort to acquire information about the learners
in their classrooms. This information is used to make instructional
decisions throughout the school year. Prior to a new lesson or unit
being taught, teachers administer pre-assessments to determine what
students already know about the unit, what standards, objectives,
concepts and skills students understand and what concepts require
remediation or enrichment. Once teachers have obtained this information,
they differentiate the performance tasks or instructional activities.
These activities include but are not limited to cooperative learning
groups, role-playing, choice centers and projects. Cooperative learning
groups are given tasks or activities that are adjusted to Blooms
Taxonomy (levels of thinking). Groups are encouraged to reflect on how
well they worked as a team and each member is encourage to reflect on
how he assisted the team in achieving the team goal. Role-playing allows
students to utilize their verbal and interpersonal skills. Students are
able to take on the role of various characters from a fictional or
non-fictional text with the intent to increase comprehension. Choice
centers allow students to pursue their interest through a variety of
meaningful experiences and allow students to take ownership for their
learning. Students explore topics of interest through projects at
varying levels of ability.

Teachers at Windy Ridge continue to utilize best practices and
differentiated instruction to meet the needs of all learners. We
continue to soar to new heights in academic achievement.

**5. Professional Development:**

At Windy Ridge, we believe in continuous improvement. Our staff
development approach mirrors our plan of differentiated instruction for
our students. Just as one size does not fit all for children, nor does
it fit for adults. Teachers must have meaningful learning experiences
that positively affect their growth and development as learners. We know
that we learn best by doing and by interacting with each other, so we
have moved away from the whole group lecture presentation to small study
groups of like interests and needs.

We are using our student data to determine areas of focus. Our areas of
concentration are Differentiated Instruction based on Carol Ann
Tomlinson's work, Guided Reading (Fountas & Pinnell), and incorporating
the latest research on the brain to enhance the learning environment. We
are also incorporating the ideas of Rick and Rebecca DuFour in building
our professional learning community with a "Whatever It Takes" approach.

Knowing that the use of technology is essential to the 21^st^ century
classroom, we are participating in a computer based staff development
program called CaseNex that involves an online, multimedia approach to
teacher learning. Teachers choose, in small groups, their area of
interest based on classroom needs. Through this process, teachers will
be exposed to articles, research and input from a variety of sources
within an interactive setting.

Our school was selected to participate in a district wide pilot project
on Action Research. A group of teachers is involved in this project and
will share their findings with our staff as well as teachers across the
district.

Teamwork and professional collaboration are promoted at Windy Ridge.
Teachers are encouraged to plan and problem-solve together. They use
student data from their own classrooms to determine their staff
development focus. With teachers constantly talking about how their
students are performing and what is working to raise student
achievement, we are reaching our goal of a vibrant and effective
professional learning community.
