The selection committee will recommend the top candidates to the Superintendent and Deputy Superintendent for final interview and selection. The Superintendent will choose the four nominees to present to the Board of Education for final approval. Once aboard, the 4 turnaround principals will engage in a 3-day induction process: The newly hired principals will participate in site visits to state and nationally recognized high performing urban middle schools, such as KIPP South Bronx (NY), Roxbury Prep Middle School (Boston), and/or North Star Academy (NJ). These schools have proven success rates in increasing the performance of at-risk/Title I student populations, particularly at the middle school level. The visits will provide opportunities for the principals to observe first- hand academically rich environments where techniques and strategies are designed to meet the needs of diverse student populations. The visits will be facilitated by leadership teams comprised of executive level staff from curriculum and instruction and the leadership offices. These professional development opportunities will be highly structured and facilitated by the Turnaround Director. In addition, school staffs will have the opportunity to visit the other turnaround schools in the district to share and view practices The turnaround director, two turnaround instructional specialists, and the five turnaround principals attended the Harvard Turnaround Leaders Institute (May 2012). selection of new principals.

Use locally adopted competencies to measure the effectiveness of staff who can work within the turnaround environment to meet the needs of students (A) Screen all existing staff and rehire no more than 50 percent; and (B) Select new staff The newly hired turnaround principal will be the final decision-maker in school-level staffing. The principal will lead a hiring committee that includes a representative from the Area office, Human Resources, and Curriculum & Instruction. All staff (existing and new) will be screened according to local measures of teacher effectiveness, including: Prior Evaluations, Formative Assessment Data (MSA/HSA data; quarterly assessments), Attendance, and Certification. The committee will explicitly include measures of student achievement when interviewing teachers; teachers will be required to demonstrate past performance in increasing student achievement, and will need to bring artifacts (i.e. FAST data, MSA/HSA data, analysis of student work) to support these accomplishments. Teachers will also be expected to discuss experience working with middle school students as well as innovative strategies for building positive relationships with students, parents, and community. Teachers with limited or no middle school experience will be considered if teaching philosophy supports the turnaround model and past student performance demonstrates instructional competency. Teachers will be required to agree to be an active participant in the innovative practices adopted as part of the turnaround effort (i.e. job-embedded professional development, collaborative planning), as well as make a 3-year commitment to teaching at the turnaround school.

NOTE: A third assistant principal (School Operation Manager) position will be created to focus solely on school operations and management. 5. Adopt a new governance structure, which may include, but is not limited to, requiring the school to report to a new “turnaround office” in the LEA or SEA, hire a “turnaround leader” who reports directly to the Superintendent or Chief Academic Officer, or enter into a multi-year contract with the LEA or SEA to obtain added flexibility in exchange for greater accountability 1. Turnaround schools will be managed within a new Turnaround Department (located within one of the turnaround schools) designed solely and exclusively to support the work of these 4 schools. For the office will contain 2 primary positions: 1 Turnaround Director, who will report directly to the Chief Academic Officer. 1 Administrative Analyst (secretarial and budgetary support) Beginning July 1, 2011, the Turnaround Office will support the work of six SIG 1003g schools – the four current “ turnaround” schools (SIG I) plus the 2 new “restart” schools (SIG II). Both the turnaround director and the administrative analyst will be divided and funded 80% SIG I and 20% SIG II. In addition, the following positions will be added to the turnaround office: 1 Compliance Specialist who will manage the SIG 1003g grant in the district’s six SIG 1003g (4 turnaround; 2 restart) schools to ensure interventions are implemented with fidelity to the specifications outlined in the grants and performs regular data analysis to ensure that May 2010 – June 2010 Dr. A.

has a well-developed middle school Curriculum Framework Progress Guide (CFPG) for reading. The CFPG has been aligned to State academic standards. (In 2009-2010, the middle grades CFPG was aligned to include the Toolkit strategies; additional work will be done this summer to refine.) However, comprehension strategy instruction, to ensure that students use the thinking processes that enable them to develop interpretive and critical stances towards reading objectives, is not yet widespread in grades 6-8. Teaching and use of comprehension strategies has been shown in the research to be effective across all ages and grade levels [(Pearson and Gallagher, (1983), Pearson et. al. (1992), Pressley (1976 and 2002)]. The Comprehension Toolkit provides teaching moves and language as tools for teachers to teach students to apply these strategies. Elementary schools in PGCPS that have integrated use of the Toolkit with the CFPG have shown increases in student achievement. Approximately one-half of the feeder elementary schools for the Turnaround Schools utilize Toolkit, so this will enhance the vertical alignment from one grade to the next, and particularly ensure that students who are bringing stronger strategy awareness do not lose ground in middle school. At least 15 school districts in states such as Texas, California, Washington, and Massachusetts have extended use of the Toolkit into middle school for these reasons (Heinemann’s Comprehension Toolkit - now a subsidiary of HMH). The teaching moves and language learned through Toolkit are then applied to texts of increasing complexity at each grade.

Funds will be used to purchase furniture and equipment to create a 21st century STEM classroom – MAC Books, digital equipment (ELMO, LCD projector), multimedia teacher station, activity tables, chairs, student desks, student project storage. Funds will be used for a sixth grade trip to North Bay Chesapeake. North Bay is a residential environmental learning center designed to introduce students to the exciting field of environmental science through immersion into that environment. Funds will be used to purchase various materials to support Math/Science classrooms (reading materials, calculator cases/caddies, graphing pads, etc.). Funds will be used for teacher resource books will be used to provide teachers with additional resources for mathematics. Math manipulatives will be used to provide students with a concrete, hands-on visual for the abstract concepts math problem solving requires. Funds will be allocated to purchase class set/mobile lab iPads for use in MSA Reading & Math Intervention classes, as well as, various equipment purchases for the PBIS Program to make stickers, certificates, posters, bulletin boards, etc. (Amendment #9) Funds will be used for continued technology enhancements throughout the building:
needs. Teachers of ESOL and special needs students participate in collaborative planning with general education teachers and also participate in systemic development around teaching and It is an important aspect of these meetings that data be analyzed and specialized instruction monitored. Teachers of English Language learners will be made aware of their students overall proficiency levels as determined by the LAS Links and will provide direct instruction in academic vocabulary and provide multiple opportunities to use the language in order to provide access to both the content and language of instruction. Teachers will receive quarterly data on the language proficiency of their students in all four domains of language: listening, speaking, reading and writing using quarterly assessments in these areas. Teachers will have the opportunity to design lessons that focus on both language and content, while targeting specific skills. Each middle school will provide ESOL classes or co-taught instruction to increase English language acquisition. The ESOL teacher will collaborate with the content area teachers to design appropriate supports for instruction, such as the use of visuals, graphics, and realia to introduce new vocabulary concepts, and to increase reading comprehension; opportunities to extensively build and activate background knowledge; explicit instruction in the academic vocabulary of the content area,; integration of appropriate technology; and, the use of bilingual dictionaries. Each curriculum framework progress guide emphasizes vocabulary Turnaround Director; Special Education Instructional Specialist; ESOL Instructional Specialist; Principal; Assistant Principal; ILT; Academic Dean; School-based Data Coach
instruction and provides lessons that are differentiated to support English Language Learners. Many of the same supports exist for Special Needs students. The IEP governs the instructional supports that are provided to assist the student in learning. The curriculum contains lessons differentiated to address special needs. It is critical that teachers of ESOL and special needs students be allotted time in the master schedule to participate in collaborative planning with general education teachers and also participate in systemic development around teaching and co-teaching. The implementation of an extended day would afford more scheduling flexibility and provide time for effective collaboration for all teachers. 8. Establish schedules and implement strategies that provide increased learning time 1. Each turnaround school will utilize an extended school day to address the needs of all of its learners. Turnaround schools will extend the student school day by 90 minutes (by adding an additional class period) extend the student school day by 60 minutes (ELO program) to provide for additional instructional time. This time will allow opportunities for the following (High Priority: Student Profile, Instructional Program): Acceleration and intervention programs for core content areas depending on student need. Increased opportunities for creative and cultural arts and the inclusion of additional elective courses, i.e. foreign language, supplemental reading and mathematics courses, etc. Our enhanced Creative and Performing Arts program will focus on digital media, graphic arts, dance, and enhanced musical August 2010 – June 2013 Dr. A.

The Turnaround Steering Executive Committee will monitor the social-emotional supports being provided to students and families in each school. Services will be adjusted and differentiated based on data from formative and summative feedback which includes: student and parent surveys, referral data, visit/service data, suspension data, attendance data, etc. In order to address chronic behavioral issues and create a more positive learning environment, the school will continue to implement PBIS. PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) is a process for creating safer and more effective schools. PBIS is a systems approach to enhancing the capacity of schools to educate all children by developing research-based, school wide, and classroom discipline systems. The process focuses on improving a school’s ability to teach and support positive behavior for all students. Rather than a prescribed program, PBIS provides systems for schools to design, implement, and evaluate effective school-wide, classroom, non-classroom, and student specific discipline plans (High Priority: School Culture and Climate). PBIS training occurs every summer for new and returning schools. Because Benjamin Stoddert will be classified as a “new” school, a school team (the newly hired principal along with an assistant principal, guidance counselor, and at least one classroom teacher) will be required to attend the mandatory 2-day PBIS Summer Institute for new PBIS schools (July 2010). As a new PBIS school, a “Statement of Intent” along with a staff survey must be completed by June 1, 2010. The PBIS team August 2010 – June 2013 May - July 2010 Diane Powell, Director of Student Services; Acting Turnaround Director, Turnaround Principals; Title I Office; Safe and Drug Free Schools Office
will monitor and adjust the interventions and supports based on student and parent surveys, referral data, suspension data, attendance data, etc. NOTE: The program is currently funded through the Safe and Drug Free Schools Office (Title 4); however, future funding for this department is slated to be significantly reduced. While Title 4 will be able to fund this summer’s institute, 1003g funds will need to be allocated for school year 2011-2012 and 2012-2013. Funds will be used to implement the PBIS program with fidelity. Benjamin Stoddert Students and teachers are able to earn "Eagle Bucks" and purchase, journals, school supplies, and snacks as rewards for being Respectable, Responsible, and Ready to Renew the Promise, which are pillars to promote positive behavior, culture and climate. Funds will be allocated for PBIS activities and incentives as well as for transportation to support these incentives and activities. To provide appropriate socio-emotional support for students and their families, a full-time social worker will be added to the school staff. The social worker will be required to work a flexible schedule to allow for coordination and coverage of after-school and evening activities. In addition, he/she will collaborate with the site-based professional school counselors and parent liaison and with community organizations to coordinate the “hub” of community services that will available to the school families.

The recruitment process will include both internal and external searches, utilizing mass communications that include both local and national media, such as newspapers and online sources, as well as national associations such as National Association for Secondary School Administrators. Candidates will be assessed along the following criteria, including but not limited to: experience with effective management of student behavior, positive relationships with parents and community, instructional knowledge/content expertise, evidence of the use of data to inform instruction, disciplinary literacy, organizational structure, culture building and effective collaboration with peers, teacher evaluation, community relations, student interventions, team-building, communications, and commitment to excellence. The principal for Drew-Freeman will have to be able to build capacity of new teachers and build relationship with a strong Suitland Community.

Principal will assemble a site-based leadership team that will have the autonomy to make school-level instructional decisions based on individual needs of the staff, students, parents, and community. For example, school teams will have the authority to adopt a “theme” such as Middle Years Programme or Creative and Performing Arts in addition to making a decision to continue the gender-based instruction at MS. Drew-Freeman’s “theme” is “Educating the Whole Child with Excellence and Equity.” 2. Use locally adopted competencies to measure the effectiveness of staff who can work within the turnaround environment to meet the needs of students (A) Screen all existing staff and rehire no more than 50 percent; and (B) Select new staff HIGH PRIORITY: Staff Profile, Effective Leadership The newly hired turnaround principal will be the final decision-maker in school-level staffing. The principal will lead a hiring committee that includes a representative from the Area office, Human Resources, and Curriculum & Instruction. All staff (existing and new) will be screened according to local measures of teacher effectiveness, including: Prior Evaluations, Formative Assessment Data (MSA/HSA data; quarterly assessments), Attendance, and Certification. The committee will explicitly include measures of student achievement when interviewing teachers; teachers will be required to demonstrate past performance in increasing student achievement, and will need to bring artifacts (i.e. FAST data, MSA/HSA data, analysis of student work) to support these accomplishments. Teachers will also be expected to discuss May 15-June 30 2010: Principal selects new instructional and support staff; develops budget, master schedule, summer professional development program.

(Priority: Staff Profile, Student Achievement, and Rigorous Curriculum). 3 Implement such strategies as financial incentives, increased opportunities for promotion and career growth, and more flexible work conditions that are designed to recruit, place, and retain staff with the skills necessary to meet the needs of the students in the turnaround school PRIORITY: Assessments, School Culture and Climate, Effective Leadership 1. As a recruitment and retention strategy, PGCPS turnaround schools will use a performance incentive-based model for teacher compensation (Priority: Staff Profile, Rigorous Curriculum); Each turnaround school will be required to participate in the PGCPS FIRST initiative (Financial Incentive Rewards for Supervisors & Teachers) that provides for financial incentive rewards for improved performance. (All teachers must agree to participate in FIRST.) The PGCPS FIRST initiative provides financial rewards to teachers and administrators for earning high evaluations and showing evidence of improving student achievement. Monetary rewards will be aligned and calculated within the existing FIRST framework: student achievement; hard-to-staff subjects; rigorous evaluation; and professional growth. Teachers will also be given the opportunities to participate in Leadership Projects which would positions as Single-gender Coordinator, School Improvement Coordinator and member of Outreach Team. [NOTE: FIRST was supported by the Gates Foundation for a specified period of time. The program ended June 2012.] In addition to opportunities for FIRST financial rewards, turnaround schools will utilize a 1003g stipend system that rewards non-FIRST eligible teachers and support staff for school-wide August 2010 – June 2013 Janice Briscoe, Rhonda Pitts, Director of FIRST program

Extended Learning - Summer 2012 1. Summer STEM Academy (a partnership with University of Maryland and NASA; 6 days; 100 students) The students will be primarily involved with two engineering activities during the course of the academy. The first is to build and program robots using the Lego Mindstorms NXT 2.0. The second activity is to use Newton’s Laws of Motion in constructing and launching rockets. Retention Reduction Academy The 6-day program is for a projected 30-45 students (2 teachers; 1 counselor) The purpose of the program is to provide intensive academic support and character education for students who are on the potential retention list. The master schedule (number and length of class periods) will be developed by the newly hired principal along with the site-based leadership and will be based on identified needs. A flexible schedule will be implemented for teachers (7.5 hour day) allowing some to arrive at the beginning of the student day and others to arrive later. While this model does not mandate an extended teacher work day, teachers will be afforded the option of working additional hours to fully support the extended day for students. The 60-minute extended school day will function as an Extended Learning Opportunity for students and August 2010 – June 2013 August 2010 – June 2013 Coach Transportation; Turnaround Director; Principal; Academic Deans; ILTs; Professional School Counselor;

Currently, the school does not have enough computers to conduct on-line testing. The computer lab has 32 computers and there are 2 functioning mobile labs. A limited number of computers and inadequate servers have created barriers for using technology in assessments. Although the school currently administers assessments as scheduled, the resulting data is not being analyzed or used effectively to make instructional adjustments for the students. This is LESS PRIORITY and aligns with 7.1; 8.2; and 9.5. 7 School Culture and Climate School vision, mission and shared values School safety Student health services Attendance supports Climate survey, if available School Vision, Mission and Shared Values The school has a vision and mission statement that is communicated in the school improvement plan and posted on the website. Data from the current teacher survey indicates that many teachers are not aware of the school’s vision and mission. According to the 2008-2009 climate survey, between 50 and 60% of parents indicated there is a clear and focused mission at Gholson. The school vision details that “the school is committed to maintaining a strong and challenging academic, learning environment which nurtures disciplined thinking and creative expressions for a diverse population and uniqueness of each student.” Based on the January 2010 DAT, the leadership team is working on redefining the mission and vision.

Formative Assessment Data (MSA/HSA data; quarterly assessments), Attendance, and Certification. The committee will explicitly include measures of student achievement when interviewing teachers; teachers will be required to demonstrate past performance in increasing student achievement, and will need to bring artifacts (i.e. FAST data, MSA/HSA data, analysis of student work) to support these accomplishments. Teachers will also be expected to discuss experience working with middle school students as well as innovative strategies for building positive relationships with students, parents, and community. Teachers with limited or no middle school experience will be considered if teaching philosophy supports the turnaround model and past student performance demonstrates instructional competency. Teachers will be required to agree to be an active participant in the innovative practices adopted as part of the turnaround effort (i.e. job-embedded professional development, collaborative planning), as well as make a 3-year commitment to teaching at the turnaround school PGCPS will partner with Teach for America (TFA) to fill additional vacancies in the school. TFA is an alternative certification recruiting partnership that will provide the school system with highly qualified teachers as defined by NCLB who will work in our most challenging schools. Teach for America provides extended services / professional development for individuals selected from their program to teach program. May 15-June 30 2010: Principal selects new instructional and support staff; develops budget, master schedule, summer professional development program. Title I Duane Arbogast, Chief Academic Officer Acting Turnaround Director, Turnaround Principals, Budget Office, Human Resources, Title I
performs regular data analysis to ensure that the turnaround schools are on track to meet the identified performance targets. (This position will be divided and funded evenly between SIG I and SIG II.) 2 Instructional Specialists (one reading; one math) who will provide leadership to the schools in the development of curricula, instructional techniques, and faculty development within the content area. The specialists serve as a liaison with faculty, staff, students and administrative personnel on all matters relating to his of her Content Area (math or reading). (This position is divided and funded 80% SIG I and 20% SIG II.) 1 Instructional Specialist for Student Support Services who will provide leadership to the turnaround schools in providing services to schools that support the educational program for students with identified needs and other students with specialized needs and/or at-risk behaviors. (This position is divided and funded 80% SIG I and 20% SIG II.) In anticipation of the expanded turnaround office staff, funds will be used to purchase furniture and equipment, i.e., laptops, desktops, desks, chairs, storage equipment, etc. 2. The turnaround director will provide direct support to the four turnaround principals and schools. The director will do the following, including but not limited to (High Priority: Organizational Structure and Resources): July 2010 – June 2013 July 2010 – June Mr. Douglass Anthony, Director of Human Capital Management Dr. Joan Rothgeb, Interim Director for Special Education; Area Assistant Superintendents; Betty Joseph, Director of Title I
among the students as a part of enhancing their college-bound culture. Offering world languages to middle school students will help them to meet the new criteria for the UMD system as well as other colleges. The foreign language strand will enable schools to differentiate the program based on identified needs and/or interests. Principals will select the languages from the ten offered in PGCPS (including French, Italian, Chinese, and Latin) based on the interest of their communities and the languages supported by the high schools that the students feed into. The world languages model will be phased in over three years. In 2010-2011, an Introduction to Foreign Language course will be scheduled for 7th graders so that foreign language classes (for high school credit) can be added for 8th grade by The outcome is for 75% of 8th graders to matriculate to high school with a foreign language credit (by 2012-2013). Due to budget constraints and the shortage of highly qualified foreign language teachers, the school principal has elected to replace the scheduled FTE in foreign language with an Academic Resource Teacher. The Academic Resource Teacher will provide direct support around testing, data analysis, collaborative planning, and instructional strategies. For 2012-2013, G James Gholson will replace the second allocated foreign language position with science coach. The Science Coach will ensure effective implementation of the science curriculum at the school by providing support through Academic Deans, ILTs Dr. Gladys Whitehead, Director of Curriculum & Instruction; PGCPS TAG Supervisor; Instructional Lead Teacher (ILT); Academic Dean Dr. Gladys Whitehead, Director of Curriculum & Instruction; PGCPS Science Supervisor
provides data for shorter intervals of instructional time. 2. For each core content area, data on student performance will be generated on a monthly basis. For example, students will take math benchmarks at the end of each month that teachers will use to inform planning to differentiate future instruction. In reading, for example, teachers will keep detailed running records of students and will assess them monthly as part of the Comprehension Toolkit curriculum re-design for 7th and 8th grades. 3. The implementation of a “flex” schedule for teachers will allow for more meaningful collaboration in the analysis of monthly student achievement data, and this work will be spearheaded by the academic deans in each turnaround school. 4. The formative data generated each month will drive the Director-Principal monthly quarterly performance planning meetings that are scheduled as part of the new governance structure for Turnaround Schools. (moved to section 5.e) PGCPS has an established multiple criteria TAG identification process. TAG identified students at the middle school level are scheduled into Honors courses. Through pre and post assessment data and interest and learning style inventories, students’ academic, social, and emotional needs are identified. Differentiated instruction occurs by providing access to advanced content, above grade level instructional materials, math acceleration, enrichment extensions, and extra-curricular enrichment opportunities.

to be structured to focus on individual student needs as identified by weekly and monthly classroom assessments. 12 Effective Leadership Instructional leadership to promote teaching and learning Monitoring of curriculum implementation and instructional practices linked to student growth Impact on the school culture for teaching and learning Use of assessment data using technology Recruitment and retention of effective staff Identification and coordination of resources to meet school needs Engagement of parents and community to promote academic, developmental, social, and career needs of students Teaching and Learning: The principal along with his administrative leaders complete their performance objectives at the beginning of the school year. School targets are identified along with two-three objectives in support of each Bridge to Excellence Master Plan Goals. Activities and strategies are included in the performance objectives to address the Master Plan Goals. A status/completion column is included for principals to include information regarding dates that strategies were implemented. Principals are responsible for monitoring their performance objectives throughout the year. During the mid-year evaluation and end of the year evaluation, principals share their Accountability Binders which show evidence with regard to implementation of the activity/strategy. Monitoring of curriculum implementation and instructional practices: Administrators conduct classroom observations on tenured and non-tenured staff members each year in order to monitor school curriculum and delivery of instruction. The principal along with the administrative team has conducted 27/42 (64%) teacher observations. As a result of principals conducting formal observations, teachers are able to receive meaningful feedback on delivery of instruction. Teachers are provided with recommendations and if necessary an action plan for improvement. Observation notes/action plans were reviewed in order to assess instructional curricular execution expectations. Use of assessment data using technology (Priority: TA Requirement #7): Performance Matters and Edusoft is a data warehouse for school staff to utilize school test data. The data coach at Thurgood Marshall assists the administrative team with accessing data in order to present their findings during quarterly PMAPP sessions held in the area office. PMAPP sessions allowed opportunities for principals to come together and participate in instructional conversations regarding instruction and discuss the school’s top 5 activities/strategies used to increase student achievement. Also during that time, the principal utilizes FAST data to assess individual teacher data. During Area 4 PMAPP meetings suggestions were provided to principals in order to address weak indicators on FAST 1 and FAST 2. Feedback was provided to the principal regarding PMAPP presentations throughout the year to streamline strategies and activities the team included in their presentation.
for long-term leadership capacity building and sustainability. Academic Deans will not only serve as assistant principals but will be preparing for the role of principals in future turnaround schools that PGCPS creates as part of the school system’s succession planning process for future school turnaround efforts. Similarly, ILTs will be encouraged to pursue their administrative licensure in order to assume higher levels of leadership, such as Academic Deans/Assistant Principals, in the future, and will also participate in ILT leadership training coordinated by the Turnaround Department throughout the school year. Recruitment – PGCPS feels it is critical to advertise via different media publications to attract the best and brightest professionals to meet the diverse needs to the student population at the turnaround schools. Funds will be allocated for advertisement and materials to support recruiting, hiring, and retaining highly qualified staff and stable leadership that can meet the diverse needs of the student population. 4. Provide staff with ongoing, high-quality, professional development that is aligned with the school’s comprehensive instructional program and designed with school staff to ensure that they are equipped to facilitate effective teaching and learning and have the capacity to successfully implement school reform strategies 1. The turnaround schools will seek to redesign professional development to support teacher capacity building (High Priority: Student Profile, Staff Profile, Student Achievement, Rigorous Curriculum, Instructional Program, Professional Development, Organizational Structure and Resources). The Turnaround Schools will partner with Research for Better Teaching RBT to build teacher and leadership capacity. RBT will conduct a needs assessment (April 2011) and will deliver August 2010 – June 2013 Research for Better Teaching Representatives
the Skillful Teacher training to selected staff (administration and instructional) during the Spring of 2011 (April 28th) (Summer 2011) in preparation for the 2011 – 2012 school year. Consulting from Research for Better Teaching will include course orientation and delivery, design and planning, coordination & evaluation, and travel expenses. Phase One of the partnership (2011-2012) includes the following: Studying Skillful Teaching workshop (40 participants x 2 days) – summer 2011(during the Turnaround Summer Symposium in July) In-School Support/Coaching for Teachers and/or Teacher Teams (10 days on-site per school) Leadership Development/Leadership Seminars to Improve Teaching and Learning (8 days on site per school) Observation, Program Development and Leadership Support Days (8 days for leadership work per school; 4 days for program coordination/support for whole groups sessions) Phase Two of the partnership (2012-2013) includes the following: On-site presentation (Studying Skillful Teaching Content) – 20 days per school Planning with School Leaders (6 days on-site per school) Leadership Support & Coaching Seminars (10 days) On-site Leadership Support & Coaching (10 days) August 2010 – June 2013 August 2010 – June 2013
schools, i.e., laptops, desktops, desks, chairs, storage equipment, etc. 2. The turnaround director will provide direct support to the four turnaround principals and schools. The director will do the following, including but not limited to (High Priority: Organizational Structure and Resources): Conduct one full co-observation day per month for each principal. Co-observation days entail the director and principal jointly engaged in the clinical observation cycle through the implementation of the Framework for Teaching evaluation tool for multiple teachers in one day, including the post-observation conference. The director will coach the principal through this process and provide feedback to the principal around his or her instructional leadership and develop his or her skills in the area of lesson observation and feedback. Support from the School Leadership Office will assist with the implementation of the Framework for Teaching tool. Conduct one performance planning conference per month quarter with each principal around specific student achievement and school metrics to assess learning and growth. Beginning in 2011-2012, the turnaround office will implement a monthly quarterly performance planning schedule for implementation (using the Performance Management Analysis and Process Planning (PMAPP) protocol). This will be an interactive meeting process that builds on each previous meeting and will be formative in nature. Specific July 2010 – June 2013 Dr. A. Duane Arbogast, Chief Academic Officer; Dr. Debra Mahone, Executive Director of Department of State & Federal Programs; Dr. Gladys Whitehead, Director of Curriculum & Instruction; Turnaround Director; Area Assistant
strategies. The school’s management and accountability system will collaborate with the LEA to answer the questions of the timeline and the needs that determine which activities will take place, which will be responsible for monitoring and how the activities will be monitored. Community engagement resource personnel will develop a partnership for each school with the county government and other agencies to develop a “Hub” of needed community services to be provided during regularly scheduled daytime and evening sessions. Providing access to information and assisting parents in reducing the stresses of daily life will benefit the students by enabling the parents to pay more attention to their children’s needs and, as a result, positively impact student achievement. Increase parent engagement in all school activities and support parental understanding of and involvement in all curriculum areas (High Priority: Student Profile, School Culture and Climate, Effective Leadership): Participate in parent/student learning activities as measured by attendance, homework, and assessments. Create a Parent Action Committee to encourage increased parental participation. Facilitate the development of the School Parent Policy and Parent-School-Student Compact.
