Executive Summary

SY 2014-2015 Page 1© 2015 Advance Education, Inc. All rights reserved unless otherwise granted by written agreement.
Introduction Every school has its own story to tell. The context in which teaching and learning takes place influences the processes and procedures by
which the school makes decisions around curriculum, instruction, and assessment. The context also impacts the way a school stays faithful
to its vision. Many factors contribute to the overall narrative such as an identification of stakeholders, a description of stakeholder
engagement, the trends and issues affecting the school, and the kinds of programs and services that a school implements to support student
learning.
The purpose of the Executive Summary (ES) is to provide a school with an opportunity to describe in narrative form the strengths and
challenges it encounters. By doing so, the public and members of the school community will have a more complete picture of how the school
perceives itself and the process of self-reflection for continuous improvement. This summary is structured for the school to reflect on how it
provides teaching and learning on a day to day basis.

Description of the School
Describe the school's size, community/communities, location, and changes it has experienced in the last three years. Include
demographic information about the students, staff, and community at large. What unique features and challenges are associated
with the community/communities the school serves? R. E. Thompson is an intermediate elementary school consisting of 340 students in grades 3-5. We have 15 teaching units with 5 units per
grade level. This school is fed from a singular primary school and feeds a singular middle school. We serve the city of Tuscumbia and have
about 15% of our students from outside our school district. Tuscumbia is a very close knit city of roughly 8,400 people and is surrounded by
other municipalities that is referred to as "The Shoals". Traditions and school spirit are strong in Tuscumbia and families care a great deal
about the success of the school system.

School's Purpose
Provide the school's purpose statement and ancillary content such as mission, vision, values, and/or beliefs. Describe how the
school embodies its purpose through its program offerings and expectations for students. The mission of R. E. Thompson Intermediate School is "To provide the tools necessary to develop responsible, productive, life-long learners
who will emerge as capable leaders of the 21st century." We accomplish this by providing an innovative, competent, caring staff that teaches
a challenging curriculum in a safe and clean environment. Our school vision is "We envision R. E. Thompson as a premier learning center
promoting leaders for the 21st century." Our school motto: "Learning is an Adventure" sets high expectations for all students and supports
our vision and mission. The mission and vision of R. E. Thompson Intermediate School together produce our six school beliefs.
Our staff believes: 1. All students can achieve and succeed. 2. Instruction must enhance the mental, emotional, creative, physical, and moral
attributes of a child. 3. High standards of performance are expected of all students and staff. 4. Productive citizenship requires that students
have moral values and respect for the rights of others. 5. The cooperative efforts of teachers, parents, and the community encourage
students to achieve success. 6. A positive, safe environment promotes student learning.

Notable Achievements and Areas of Improvement
Describe the school's notable achievements and areas of improvement in the last three years. Additionally, describe areas for
improvement that the school is striving to achieve in the next three years. Over the past few years R. E. Thompson has been making modest gains in multiple academic areas. The school has experienced academic
gains, cultural improvements, and structural enhancements all while maintaining a consistent faculty and staff. The faculty worked as a team
to identify ways to streamline faculty and student technology usage in the school. Committees were created to ensure our technology was
being utilized effectively. Students were given opportunities to use this technology in their learning and teachers relied on classroom
technology to create interesting, effective lessons.
Over the last four years there has been a considerable decrease in office referrals and discipline issues at RET. Much of the credit goes to
hard-working teachers developing interesting lessons that keep the children engaged and eager to learn. A dedicated guidance councilor
has also implemented effective behavior programs that teach tolerance, respect, and teamwork to the students.
We continue to work to increase our scores in all grade levels for math. New books were adopted and the CCRS standards were put in
place long enough ago to allow the teachers to fully grasp the ideas and become more effective. We expect to see achievement levels
increase as we go forward.

Improvement Planning Process
Improvement Planning Process
Describe the process used to engage a variety of stakeholders in the development of the institution's improvement plan. Include
information on how stakeholders were selected and informed of their roles, and how meetings were scheduled to accommodate
them. R. E. Thompson holds an annual Title I school wide meeting in September of each year. Parents and community members are notified of the
meeting through newsletters sent home, calendar of events, announcements, Schoolcast messages, and radio broadcasts. Involved parents
and community members are targeted to be committee members because of their interest in the school's success and their availability. The
same meeting is held three different times that day, 7:30AM, 9:00AM, and 6:00PM, at three different locations to accommodate the various
schedules of our stakeholders. The Title I program is explained including the parent involvement component and set asides. This is also an
opportunity for our stakeholders to ask questions and state concerns. Describe the representations from stakeholder groups that participated in the development of the improvement plan and their
responsibilities in this process. R. E. Thompson has parent representation on the CIP committee. These parents are active participants in the review and revision of the CIP
and many attend the annual advisory meeting. The CIP is reviewed, evaluated, and revised each year. During the review process all
parents have the opportunity to comment on the plan. Once the plan is revised and and approved, a parent may find the plan, or parts of the
plan unsatisfactory. In that case, they have the right to submit their concerns, in writing, to the school. Our federal Programs director will
them review the concerns; a grievance procedure is also in place if a parent has issue with anything involving their child. Parent and
stakeholder surveys are given out each April seeking input on activities, training, and materials that the school should offer to parents. These
surveys yield results that are then incorporated into the CIP.

Stakeholder Feedback Diagnostic
ACIPR. E. Thompson Intermediate School
SY 2014-2015 Page 11© 2015 Advance Education, Inc. All rights reserved unless otherwise granted by written agreement.
Introduction The Stakeholder Feedback Diagnostic is designed to analyze the institution's survey results in terms of areas of achievement and areas that
need improvement. Further, the diagnostic is essential to the accreditation and continuous improvement processes in that it provides the
institution with a comprehensive view of the aggregate scores of the surveys administered, and the actual total of respondents for each
survey type to derive a single score for this diagnostic. The performance level score computed at the completion of the diagnostic is used to
broaden and enhance the external review team's understanding of the stakeholder's perceptions of the institution; the diagnostic should be
used in the same manner by the institution as it engages in improvement planning.

Evaluative Criteria and Rubrics
Overall Rating: 4.0
Statement or Question Response Rating1. Questionnaire Administration All required AdvancED questionnaires were
used by the institution to receive stakeholderfeedback. The minimum response rate for eachpopulation was met (parent questionnaire:equal to or greater than 20%, studentquestionnaire(s): equal to or greater than 40%,staff questionnaire: equal to or greater than60%). Questionnaires were administered withcomplete fidelity to the appropriateadministrative procedures. In every instance,the stakeholders to whom these questionnaireswere administered fully represented thepopulations served by the institution.Appropriate accommodations were provided asnecessary for all participants.
Level 4
Statement or Question Response Rating2. Stakeholder Feedback Results and Analysis Two or more of the stakeholder questionnaires
had average item values of 4.30 or higher (on a5.0 scale). All questionnaires had an averageitem value of 3.20 or above (on a 5.0 scale).Results of stakeholder feedback collected bythe institution were well analyzed and clearlypresented.
Level 4

SY 2014-2015 Page 14© 2015 Advance Education, Inc. All rights reserved unless otherwise granted by written agreement.
Areas of Notable Achievement
Which area(s) indicate the overall highest level of satisfaction or approval? The parents responded with the highest percentage of positive responses ( 93%) for Purpose and Direction. The staff responded with the
highest percentage of positive responses ( 100%) for Governance and Leadership.
The students responded with the highest percentage of positive responses ( 90%) for Purpose and Direction. The highest level of approval
or satisfaction from our stakeholders are in the areas of school safety and academic rigor received by the students. In both cases, a score of
4.5 out of 5 was achieved. Parents and students alike believe that the school is a safe environment and that the students are challenged at
the appropriate level academically. Which area(s) show a trend toward increasing stakeholder satisfaction or approval? Stakeholders seem to have an increase in satisfaction over our ability to communicate our goals and activities. This is due to our constant
striving to find new ways to open lines of communication with our parents and community. Technological tools have made this process a
little easier. The staff has increased satisfaction in the field of Governance and Leadership because of the approachable, open-door policy of
the Central Office administration. Which of the above reported findings are consistent with findings from other stakeholder feedback sources? Our school-system wide Advisory committee also believes that our system is a safe, nurturing environment where the students are
challenged at an appropriate level. Quarterly meetings have shown this to be the case.
ACIPR. E. Thompson Intermediate School
SY 2014-2015 Page 15© 2015 Advance Education, Inc. All rights reserved unless otherwise granted by written agreement.
Areas in Need of Improvement
Which area(s) indicate the overall lowest level of satisfaction or approval? The parents responded with the highest percentage of negative responses (8.7%) on the topic of teachers keeping them informed about
grades. The staff responded with the highest percentage of negative responses (14%) on the topic of adult advocates supporting student
educational experience.
The students responded with the highest percentage of negative responses (23%) on the topic of student feedback about the school.
Our overall levels of satisfaction were quite high. The rating system used went to a high score of five; the lowest we rated in any area was
4.16. This was in the area of financial resources and their uses. The reason we scored as low as we did was because 17.39% of the
respondents were either neutral or felt the question was not applicable to their level of knowledge about the school. An area of concern for
us would be the feeling that our teachers do not give adequate individual instruction. Roughly three percent of of the participants responded
that they do not agree that we give enough individual instruction. Which area(s) show a trend toward decreasing stakeholder satisfaction or approval? R. E. Thompson does not see any trends that are decreasing in stakeholder satisfaction at this time. We will take a close look at all survey
results and focus our attention on any area that scored poorly in respect to all areas. An example of this would be to make sure teachers
meet with teachers a grade level higher to ensure the students are prepared for the next year. This was an area that recorded a higher
number of negative responses. What are the implications for these stakeholder perceptions? When stakeholders feel they are uninformed about school, or that they are not getting adequate communication, the perception could be that
we are not very transparent in our operations or that the school does not feel the stakeholders have an important role to play in the education
of the students. These perceptions must be addressed and remedied as thoroughly as possible. Stakeholder hold a vital role in the
education of the students of Tuscumbia and every effort must be taken to aid in the ease of communication. Which of the above reported findings are consistent with findings from other stakeholder feedback sources? Other feedback sources have also reported better communication was needed to keep stakeholders aware of school operations. These
concerns are constantly being addressed. Parent input has been solicited regarding upcoming changes to our school website.

Introduction The Student Performance Diagnostic provides an institution with a process to report summative student assessments. This diagnostic is
significant to the accreditation and continuous improvement process as it serves as a resource for schools to view content area assessment
results required by the state, district, or other entities, determine the quality and reliability of the given assessments, and show the alignment
of the assessments to the school's curriculum. The performance level computed at the completion of the diagnostic is used by the external
review team as a comprehensive report to understand fully the institution's assessment program; the diagnostic should be used in the same
manner by the institution as it engages in improvement planning.

Evaluative Criteria and Rubrics
Overall Rating: 3.0
Statement or Question Response Rating1. Assessment Quality The array of assessment devices used by the
institution to determine students' performancesis sufficiently aligned so that valid inferencescan be reached regarding students' status withrespect to the majority of those curricular aimsregarded as high-priority instructional targets.The documentation provided in support of thisalignment is relatively persuasive. Most of theassessments used are accompanied byevidence demonstrating that they satisfyaccepted technical requirements.
Level 3
Statement or Question Response Rating2. Test Administration All the assessments used by the institution to
determine students' performances, whetherexternally acquired or internally developed,have been administered with complete fidelityto the administrative procedures appropriate foreach assessment. In every instance, thestudents to whom these assessments wereadministered are accurately representative ofthe students served by the institution.Appropriate accommodations have beenprovided for all assessments so that validinferences can be made about all students'status with respect to all of the institution'stargeted curricular outcomes.
Level 4
Statement or Question Response Rating3. Quality of Learning Evidence of student learning promoted by the
institution is acceptably analyzed and presentedwith reasonable clarity. In comparison toinstitutions functioning in a similar educationalcontext, students' status, improvement, and/orgrowth evidence indicates that the level ofstudent learning is at or above what wouldotherwise be expected.
Level 3
Statement or Question Response Rating4. Equity of Learning Evidence of student learning indicates
achievement gaps exist among subpopulationsof students, and these achievement gapsdemonstrate a modest decline.
Level 2
ACIPR. E. Thompson Intermediate School
SY 2014-2015 Page 21© 2015 Advance Education, Inc. All rights reserved unless otherwise granted by written agreement.
Areas of Notable Achievement
Which area(s) are above the expected levels of performance? Our results were right at or slightly below the national average in each category. The ACT/Aspire was administered for the first time in 2013-
14 and showed results consistent with data from previous tests. Describe the area(s) that show a positive trend in performance. One positive trend shown in our data is that fewer students were in the support range in mathematics. Which area(s) indicate the overall highest performance? The 3rd grade math scores showed the highest level of performance. Which subgroup(s) show a trend toward increasing performance? We were encouraged by our 4th grade math scores because they had a tendency to be the weakest over the past few years; they were on
par with the other grade levels. Between which subgroups is the achievement gap closing? Most gaps are not closing significantly, however the data separated by gender seems to have the closest achievement levels. Which of the above reported findings are consistent with findings from other data sources? The finding remain consistent with the results from previous years even though the state has mandated several different tests and formats
over the past few years.
ACIPR. E. Thompson Intermediate School
SY 2014-2015 Page 22© 2015 Advance Education, Inc. All rights reserved unless otherwise granted by written agreement.
Areas in Need of Improvement
Which area(s) are below the expected levels of performance? 5th grade reading and 4th grade math are the furthest away from ACT benchmark results and therefore are below our level of performance. Describe the area(s) that show a negative trend in performance. It is hard to say we have negative trends in performance because our testing tool has changed this past year. Comparing data from year to
year is difficult. Certain aspects of reading, such as comprehension, were at a lower level than tests in the past. Which area(s) indicate the overall lowest performance? 4th grade math and 5th grade reading. Which subgroup(s) show a trend toward decreasing performance? Again, it is hard to compare with past data, but our black and special education students are lower performing. Between which subgroups is the achievement gap becoming greater? Our achievement gaps increasing or decreasing are difficult to determine based on the inconsistency of the testing format. Which of the above reported findings are consistent with findings from other data sources? Special education students and black students continue to score lower than white regular education students regardless of the testing year or
format.

Strategies to Increase Parental Involvement
1. Describe how the school will convene an annual meeting to inform parents of the school's participation in Title I and explain Title
I requirements, including the 1% set-aside, and the right of parents involved. The school will hold an annual meeting to inform parents of the school's participation in Title I and explain Title I requirements including the
1% set-aside, and the right of parents involved. This meeting is held in September of each year. The meeting is held at each Title I school
and at various times to help ensure multiple opportunities for parents to attend. The meeting agenda includes an overview of the Title I
program, information about the budge, 1% set-aside, rights of parents involved and the Title I school-parent compact. Also, parent leaders at
each school are introduced and input for parent meeting topics is solicited. 2. Describe: 1) How there will be a flexible number and format of parent meetings offered; 2) How parents will be involved in the
planning, review and improvement of the Title I Program (Note: State the school's process for how all Title I parents have the
opportunity for involvement in decision-making.); and 3) How funds allocated for parent involvement are being used in the school. 1) The annual Title I parent survey is distributed in the spring of each year. This survey feedback guides meeting days and times. Topics of
interest are included on the survey to help guide parent meetings for the coming school year.
2) Parents are given the opportunity to help with planning, review and improvement of the Title I Program. The school solicits feedback on
program evaluation forms, annual Title I survey and through our parent meetings. The Title I Advisory Committed reviews the surveys each
year and use the results for planning for the upcoming school year.
3) Funds are allocated based on the needs as indicated in our Title I Advisory Committee meeting held in the spring of each year. Funds are
allocated for parent meetings and for materials and supplies for parent meetings. 3. Describe how the school provides parents of participating children timely information in a uniform format and, to the extent
practicable in a language they can understand, about programs under Title I, a description and explanation of the curriculum in
use, forms of academic assessments, and achievement expectations used, and, if requested by parents, opportunities for regular
meetings to formulate suggestions and participate as appropriate in decisions
related to the education of their children. Information about programs under Title I is provided to all parents i a timely manner and in a uniform format and, to the extent practicable in a
language they can understand. The school utilizes newsletters, notes, SchoolCast calls, website, iNOW parent portal, social media (Twitter,
Facebook, Remind 101) as tools to communicate with parents. Should a parent speak a language other than English, TransACT and
SchoolCast is used to communicate the information to parents. 4. Describe how parents, the school staff, and students share responsibility for improved student academic achievement for
participating students (How the School-Parent Compact is jointly developed with Title I parents; how it is used, reviewed, and
updated).

monitor their child's progress and work with teachers to improve the achievement of their children. (Describe)
Building capacity for parental involvement continues to be a challenge at each of our Title I schools. Much time and effort is given to
soliciting input from our parents on topics of interest, planning multiple opportunities for involvement and encouraging all parents to
participate and especially hard-to-reach parents.
Parent meetings include a wide range of topics including information about curriculum, assessment, state and local standards, requirements
of Title I and how to work effectively with their child on homework and study skills. Also included are topics of interest including children and

in the education of their children. R.E. Thompson Intermediate School has the responsibility of embracing parents of students in grades 3-5.
Much effort is place on parental involvement in the early grades and must be continuously analyzed to ensure efforts are made to reach as
many parents as possible. The school hosts a Welcome to 3rd Grade Tour and encourage parents to participate. Many events are held
throughout the year which focus on parental involvement in student achievement. Some of these activities include Aspire Test information
for parents new to Alabama Assessments, Donuts for dads and muffins for mom events which focus on reading to your child and Book
Character parades which encourages parent participation.
Parents are encouraged to visit their child's classroom and share time and talents with the class. Some parents share their love of music, art
and storytelling. Parents are also encouraged to participate in meetings in which the College and Career Ready Standards are discussed to
help enable a better understanding of Alabama standards. There are multiple opportunities for parents to work with their child on technology
and to better understand the dangers of social media. 6c. Describe how the school will build capacity for parental involvement including how parents will be encouraged to become

SY 2014-2015 Page 44© 2015 Advance Education, Inc. All rights reserved unless otherwise granted by written agreement.
Introduction This diagnostic tool is aligned to requirements for Title I Schoolwide schools. As described in sections 1111(b)(1), 1114 (b)(1)(A)] and
1309(2) of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), the comprehensive needs assessment (CNA) requirement is met by
completing a School Process Profile and Summary Report. The comprehensive needs assessment must be completed prior to creating a
new plan or annually updating an existing school improvement plan. Use the results of the comprehensive needs assessment to develop
Goals/Objectives/Strategies and Activities. Ensure that the Gap Statements and Causes for Gaps included in the Goals information address
all four measures of data: student achievement data, school programs/process data, perceptions data (must include teachers and parents;
student data is encouraged), and demographic data. The Comprehensive Needs Assessment must also take into account the needs of
migratory children as defined in Title I, Part C, Section 1309(2).

Component 1: Comprehensive Needs Assessment
1. How was the comprehensive needs assessment conducted? The comprehensive needs assessment was conducted through a parent survey. The survey was distributed to each student in grades 3-5.
The returned surveys were tallied by the federal programs director and results shared with the leadership team. 2. What were the results of the comprehensive needs assessment? Parents feel welcome in the school and are familiar with the goals and offerings of the school as well as the support services provided.
The parents have received the Title I documents and know what it means to be a Title I school. Parents are involved in the Title I activities. 3. What conclusions were drawn from the results? We have done a good job of educating our parents about Title I and the services provided. Our parents feel welcome in the school and are
involved in school activities. As always, creating new ways to involve parents is a challenge. 4. What information was concluded as a result of analyzing perception, student achievement, school programs/process, and
demographic data? Our parents and stakeholders feel welcome in the school and feel comfortable contacting teachers and other staff members. All of the
parents responding stated they understand student test scores and report cards. Parents understand what it means to be a Title I school and
know the process as well as the opportunities provided through Title I services. The demographics of the responses matched the
demographics of the school. 5. How are the school goals connected to priority needs and the needs assessment? The school goals for R.E. Thompson Intermediate School are connected to priority needs based on the Aspire assessment results. The
focus this year will be on increasing scores in reading and math. Other goals include increasing student attendance. 6. How do the goals portray a clear and detailed analysis of multiple types of data? Assessments were used to analyze student achievement. This year, the state adopted the ACT series for student assessment. It is difficult
to compare the assessment because of the change in administration. We continue to focus on the subject subgroups to determine
deficiencies.

7. How do the goals address the needs of the whole school population and special recognition to children who are disadvantaged?
The goals address the needs of the whole school population and give special recognition to children who are disadvantaged. The state
assessments are analyzed and areas of improvement noted. This analysis results in determining the specific goals for the school year.
Close attention is given to disadvantaged children since this is typically the areas where achievement gaps exist.
