Intervention Plan
Strong Leadership: The principal will meet on a monthly basis with the entire teaching staff to reinforce school goals for improving student learning. The school will have a mission statement and clearly defined values, as well as meet state standards. Also, the principal will be an involved participant in student life -- the principal will be a visible presence in the classroom, at school activities, and also meet with student leaders as well as troubled students.
Positive belief and teacher dedication: Teachers will play an integral role in shaping the curriculum and setting benchmarks for the student body. Teachers will be supported when there are conflicts with parents or students. Teachers whose classes consistently perform above expectations and/or who devote extra time to extracurricular activity advising will receive special recognition.
Data utilization and analysis: Trends in student performance will be tracked to see what students of what particular teachers excel, what specific departments are strong or weak. The school will keep abreast of state-mandated standards, and take measures to ensure students meet those standards.
Effective scheduling: Every effort will be made to ensure that students are assigned to appropriate classes and receive supportive tutoring, if necessary. Art and music will be included in the curriculum. Physical education will be incorporated into the school day, as a method of stress release and to uphold student health.
Professional development: New hires will be mentored by older and more experienced teachers. Teachers who wish to pursue graduate degrees will be supported as much as is feasible with their scheduling. Professional development conferences and motivational speakers will be integrated into the teacher's regular school year.
Scientifically-based intervention programs: Students in need of extra help will receive structured attention and individuated tutoring outside of the classroom. For young at-risk students, parents will be directed to Head Start before their child enters school, so the student can gain grounding in the basics and not fall behind. Curricula from year to year will be scaffolded -- i.e. build upon previous learning. Summer school resource aid will be available for students who need or desire this, to minimize summer 'learning loss.'
