Communities. Brevard County Public Schools School Improvement Plan 2014-15 Part 1: Planning for Student Achievement RATIONALE Continuous Improvement Cycle Process – Data Analysis from multiple data sources: (Needs assessment that supports the need for improvement-Examples may be, but are NOT limited to survey data, walk-through data, minutes from PLC’s or Dept. Mtgs. Move away from talking about every single data source and determine your rationale. Much like the PGP, what is your focus and why?) Considerations/Examples: What are the areas of success? Where are concerns? What trends do you see? What kind of data are you looking at within your school? What data do you use for teacher practice? How are teachers planning? Are plans Standards Driven? Are Essential Questions meaningful? What do CWT tell you about instruction? How will you monitor the depth of implementation? As of September 29, 2015, the Florida Department of Education (FLDOE) has released SY 2014-15 FSA Mean Scores. However, these scores only depict the mean (which is all the scores added up and then averaged) and it is not clear how the state will proceed with proficiency cut scores. Additionally, as of this needs assessment and data analysis, there has been little guidance from the FLDOE on how to interpret the current scores. Despite not having FSA results, the SIP team utilized data points such as Study Island (standards-based assessment system), Fountas and Pinnell Benchmarking Assessment System (BAS), and district assessments FLKRS/FAIR to determine needs. Additionally, the team reviewed school culture and climate data such as average daily attendance rates and number of office referrals as well as the monthly suspension rates. In 2013-2014, the FCAT assessment results left Odyssey Preparatory Academy with receiving an grade for the State of Florida’s School Report “F” Card. We attribute that level of student achievement at our Title 1 school to several factors: (1) students scores” adjustments, “cut (2) lack of student preparedness for the rigor of the tests, (3) school population growth, (4) a growing minority and Free and Reduced Lunch student demographic, and (5) some faculty were more curriculum-focused than standards-focused. Although the school worked diligently to improve student performance, it did not meet most of its as identified in the 2013-2014 School Improvement Plan.
