Summary of Board Policy AE (Local)
Dallas ISD Mission and Vision
It is the mission of the Dallas Independent School District to educate all students for success. Its vision is
to be a premier urban school district. To achieve both this mission and vision, the Board of Trustees adopted
the core values and district goals outlined in the following section in January 2012.
Dallas ISD Core Values and District Goals
The six core values are promoted by the current administration and appear worthy to set as
expectations for all stakeholders. Based on the belief that people must have a number of core values if they are
to be effective in their lives and work, the district expects its employees, students, parents, and other
stakeholders to nurture and exemplify the following values at all times: Trustworthiness, Responsibility,
Respect, Caring, Citizenship, and Fairness.
District goals represent key goals for the administration to focus on as the district continues to improve
outcomes for all its students. Policy AE (Local) reads as follows:
In everything we do our goal is to improve the quality of education for all our students. We expect every
employee to believe that every student can succeed. We will pursue the following operational goals, in order of
priority:
1. TEACHERS: Ensure highly effective teachers for all students.
2. PRINCIPALS: Ensure a highly effective leader for every school.
3. SAFE AND SECURE SCHOOLS: Ensure a safe, secure and welcoming environment for
all students, parents, staff, and the community.
4. PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT: Develop shared responsibility between
parents/guardians and schools that foster academic success and self-management
of learning.
5. RIGOR: Implement rigorous curriculum and engaging educational practices and
experiences.
6. CULTURE: Create and sustain a positive and compassionate common culture
throughout the district that leads toward accomplishing our vision and mission.

7. HUMAN RESOURCES: Hire, retain, and develop highly effective employees for every
position.
8. DATA AND INNOVATION: Make managerial decisions based on appropriate, reliable,
and valid data and best practices, and to develop and continually improve new,
innovative ways of schooling to meet the needs of students in the 21st century.
9. CENTRAL OFFICE: Organize central services to encourage and enhance a positive
culture throughout the district, support the campuses and positive culture on each
campus by removing barriers that prevent achieving our goals.
10.FACILITIES: Systemically upgrade and maintain our facilities to provide every
student an efficient learning environment.

PERFORMANCE TARGETS
The performance targets identify the area-specific performance standards and student populations.
These targeted populations address state and federal requirements of the Academic Excellence Indicator System
(AEIS) and No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB). They are included in the second section of this document.
A needs assessment was conducted and plans developed to address identified areas of need based upon
these performance targets. The resulting strategies outline the macro-level actions for assessing
implementation. The strategies also serve as the underlying framework for all campus improvement plans.
The Board of Trustees has not set performance targets for the 2011-2012 school year. Beginning in
March 2012 students in third through ninth grades throughout Texas will take the new State of Texas
Assessments of Academic Readiness, or STAAR, which encompasses a variety of changes compared to previous
tests, including the level of rigor and the way the test is administered. The scores from the results of the 2011-
2012 assessments will not be used to rate schools. The ratings will remain the same as the previous year, but will
change for the 2013-2014 school year. The ratings of exemplary, recognized, acceptable, and unacceptable for
schools will not be used after the 2011-2012 school year. The TEA will not determine passing standards for
STAAR for all grades until after the first administration of the test in spring 2012.
Students who entered the ninth grade prior to the fall of 2011 or who are in 10th, 11th or 12th grades
will continue to take the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) until they graduate. The high school
TAKS will be replaced by 12 end-of-course STAAR testsEnglish I-III, Algebra I and II, geometry, biology,
chemistry, physics, world geography, world history, and U.S. history. High school students will be able to retake
any of the STAAR tests to improve their scores, and students in grades five and eight will be able to retest in
reading and math to meet promotion criteria in 2013. Dallas ISD students have been taking end-of-course
exams for some time to be better aligned with the goal of students being ready to enter college and the
workforce without having to take remedial courses, which is also the goal of the STAAR.

COMPREHENSIVE NEEDS ASSESSMENT
According to student achievement on TAKS and ITBS, there is a need to develop and continually revise a
clear, specific, and rigorous curriculum, including intervention strategies, by grade and subject in all content
areas. This curriculum will be aligned to the districts strategic plan and theory of action based on best practices
that are focused on content and pedagogy. In addition, there is a need to provide professional development to
central and campus-based staff to ensure proper implementation of curriculum and pedagogy.
Campus disaggregation of data by teacher has shown that some teachers are more successful than
others. Quality professional development of content and pedagogy is needed to address fluctuations in teaching
abilities related to student achievement, number of years of experience, and specific content area. In order to
accomplish this in a timely manner, Virtual Professional Learning Communities (VPLC) are provided in the core
content areas. Following the VPLC, aligned training will be held at the campus.
It is necessary to build instructional leadership capacity of campus and district staff that is focused on
academic goals and tied to student achievement. Also, there is a need for schools to use district-selected
materials when student achievement does not reach determined goal levels while also providing flexibility to
high-performing schools to continue successful practices that may differ from others in the district. Districtwide
data indicates a need for supplemental materials and staff training in the areas of mathematics and science.
There is a need to monitor student learning beginning with a comprehensive, coherent district
assessment system that supplements state and standardized assessments. Therefore, the district needs an
assessment system that will benchmark student achievement at key grades, allowing teachers to provide
modifications when needed. In light of this, the district needs to translate the wealth of data into actionable
information that impacts instruction for teachers. This can be accomplished through MyData Portal. To best
facilitate this, there is a need for professional development to support this initiative.
According to various district reports, there is a need to ensure all campuses and district offices have a
safe, secure, and orderly environment. District and campus staffs need to be trained in the districts discipline
prevention and intervention model, including how to set an environment for positive, consistent and pro-active
student behavior interventions. These data also indicate a need for training to ensure safe and drug-free
schools to lessen these areas of concern. To support students with issues that impact their success in school,

there is a need to provide supplemental professional development in the areas of physical and mental health.
The rate of student health in Texas has led the government to legislate the need for a coordinated health
program at each school.
There is a need for parents and community members to actively participate in the educational process
of the district. This includes a need to provide parent education in English and in other languages to support and
better equip parents and guardians to become involved with their childrens education. The district will conduct
programs, workshops, and outreach efforts to increase parent and family involvement, fostering partnerships
between parents and schools.
Due to the insufficient number of students entering college there is a need to increase student access
and parent awareness of higher education opportunities. This low number of students entering college alsoindicates the necessity to provide PSAT/SAT/ACT student preparation sessions. There is also a need to increase
communication with parents about college readiness. According to the districts graduation rate, there is a need
to provide students with the opportunity to recover credit for courses failed during the school year.
The district loses teachers and campus administrators each year to the surrounding suburbs. This
situation creates a need to implement a compensation management plan that will attract, motivate and retain
qualified personnel. At the campuses with the lowest academic performance, there is difficulty in recruiting and
retaining quality staff. To address this, the district needs to utilize recruitment activities and alternativecertification as well as provide incentives at designated campuses. Due to the AYP rating of schools, there is a
need to ensure that all teachers and campus administrators are skilled in the use of scientifically-based
strategies to improve student achievement.
An analysis of AEIS, TAKS, and TELPAS assessment results from the district pointed out the need to
address special population groups. Disaggregated student achievement data shows that the following groups
need to be addressed in order to close the learning gaps: Hispanic, Limited English Proficient, African-American,
special education, and at-risk students. According to these data, there is a need to provide supplemental staff
and programs to support the social, emotional, and academic needs of low achieving students, English language
learners and other students considered at risk of academic failure. There is also a need to target training and
support to ensure that all teachers are skilled in the use of evidence-based instructional practices and cultural
proficiency. This training will be provided by the district, approved consultants, and the Educational Service

Center. To serve as first-level responses to learning difficulties, the campuses will need to identify and develop
proven, practical intervention practices and strategies (e.g., reteaching, flexible grouping, paraprofessional
support, etc.). The campuses will also need to address learning difficulties common across a particular concept
or objective by identifying additional human and material resources and discussing the difficulty within teacher
collaborative planning groups. There is a need to support this endeavor through the use of instructional coaches
and instructional specialists providing the greatest amount of services to Title I campuses with the greatest
needs. For those students at risk of being retained, there is a need for extended year programs to provide
intervention and acceleration. The percent of students scoring below the 40th percentile at grades
Kindergarten-Five indicates a need to provide real world experience through exposure to activities in and
around the community. To serve our youngest students, the district needs to provide high quality programs and
services for young children (ages 0-5 years), particularly low-achieving children in the highest poverty schools.
Annually, there is a need to fund additional instructional positions for campuses that have the largest class sizesto assist them in meeting the instructional needs of the students.
The number of low performing schools and schools that do not meet Adequate Yearly Progress indicates
a need for supplemental initiatives to raise the level of academic achievement. Each academically unacceptable
campus needs additional support through the use of instructional coaching. Supplemental Educational Services
and School Choice are provided to students at schools that do not meet AYP.
In order to better serve the districts homeless, neglected , and delinquent population, there is a need to
allocate resources to ensure these students have the necessary support to meet academic achievement
standards.
There is a need to provide supplemental services to the regular education program for the purpose of
increasing the academic achievement and reducing the dropout rate of those students who meet the state
defined eligibility criteria for being at-risk utilizing State Compensatory Education funds. There is also a need to
provide a system of support through a student support team. Students experiencing mental or physical issues
that interrupt the learning process need to receive services to remedy these issues.

DATA TRENDS*
Commended TAKS gains surpassed passing rate gains by close to three percentage points.
Subject areas on track to meet 2010-2011 targets are reading, writing and social studies.
The number of 2010-2011 exemplary and recognized schools now totals 43%.
The number of Academically Unacceptable schools decreased from 21 in 2008-09 to 14 in 2009-10, but
increased to 34 in 2010-11. The rise in Academically Unacceptable schools can be attributed in part to
the discontinuation of the use of the Texas Projection Measure (TPM) in 2010-11.
Continued efforts must be made to accelerate the achievement levels in mathematics and science to
better align with the goal of 90 percent passing.
Continued efforts must be made to decrease the gap among student groups in mathematics and
science.
Continued efforts must be made to accelerate the achievement levels to reach college readiness targets
by 2011-2012.
Continued efforts must be made to accelerate achievement goals for ninth-grade students.
Continued efforts must be made to implement strategies for multiple-year AYP high schools.
