2018-2019 Santa Rosa School Improvement Plan

Part I- Current School Status

1. Describe the involvement of the School Advisory Council in the development of this plan.

Our School Advisory Council will assist in the development of our plan through the evaluation of sections of the plan that will be presented to the council after development by faculty and administration. The plan will be reviewed and amended as needed in subsequent meetings of the council and after consultation with administration and team members.

2. Describe the activities of the School Advisory Council anticipated for the 2018-2019 school year

including the monitoring of this School Improvement Plan.

The GBMS School Advisory Council for the 2018-19 school year is tasked with assisting in the development and approval of the SIP, adding amendments to the SIP throughout the year as necessary, approval of how A+ dollars from the state will be spent, preparation of the Five Star School notebook and application, monitoring school accountability data that is presented by administration, and entertaining discussion about school activities and daily functions in meetings. Our council will meet once a month.

3. Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS)

School-Based MTSS Team

A. Identify the school-based MTSS leadership team members.

Michael Brandon, Tracy Murphy, Deborah Hepworth, Amy McLendon, and Randy Renfroe.

B. Describe how the school-based MTSS leadership team functions (e.g., meeting processes and

roles/functions).

The school-based MTSS Leadership Team coordinates the implementation of MTSS at Gulf Breeze Middle

School. The leadership team schedules MTSS team meetings and establishes the agenda for each meeting.

The leadership team works with staff in overseeing compliance with the district’s MTSS plan, which includes

using appropriate interventions and tracking those interventions with approved data tools. The MTSS

Leadership Team also coordinates data meetings among grade or subject areas and advises staff on

appropriate interventions for core programs. The MTSS Leadership Team at GBMS will meet monthly by

grade levels to allow members from all groups to share information and supply additional support for

students who are being considered by one or both groups. These groups will meet during mid-term and at

the end of the nine weeks throughout the year, and will also meet on an as needed basis depending on

individual cases. The MTSS Leadership Team will evaluate all available school data from the previous school

year and ongoing data as the school year progresses. The team members will assess school successes with

Tier 1 students and look for ways to develop best practices, further teacher orientation, mentoring, and

professional development. The team will meet separately with each academic department to advance MTSS

education and implementation of strategies, processes, and skills. Targeted Tier 2 and 3 students will be

considered in the first meeting of the year and will be closely monitored throughout the year. Other

students will be identified as data sources provide more information and students are considered at MTSS

meetings. Tier 2 and Tier 3 students at GBMS will be pulled out of elective classes as necessary to provide

additional one-on-one support and opportunities for remediation for the targeted students and assistance

for the respective core teacher. The MTSS Leadership Team will evaluate all available and applicable sources

of data to begin to develop best practices and strategies for Tier 2 and 3 students. As with Tier 1 students,

the team will then look for ways to mentor teachers and provide additional professional development if

necessary. The logistics of working with teachers and finding time to meet and then implement ideas will be

critical to the development of a successful team. The MTSS Leadership Team will also monitor and

coordinate all GBMS course recovery efforts for the 2018-2019 school year with our assigned course

recovery personnel and the mobile Compass Learning lab.

C. Describe the role of the school-based MTSS leadership team in the development and implementation

of the school improvement plan (SIP).

The school-based MTSS Leadership Team assists the school staff in gathering and analyzing data to use in

developing the School Improvement Plan. The MTSS Leadership Team also discusses possible Professional

Development options that are included in the School Improvement Plan.

D. Describe how the problem-solving process was used in developing and implementing the SIP

For each recommendation the MTSS Leadership Team reviews student academic, attendance, and behavior

data; developed hypotheses relative to weak areas revealed in the data, considered a variety of options to

address apparent weaknesses, and chose a course of action to address that weakness.

F. Describe the plan to train staff on MTSS during the 2018-2019 school year.

The school’s MTSS Leadership Team will attend district-provided training sessions during the 2018-2019

school year. The school MTSS team will begin annual MTSS meetings with grade level teachers and

educate them on the process of when, why, and information needed to hold MTSS meetings. The

importance of documentation on students is important to keeping essential information.

Schools without grades K-8 will need to remove this section.

G. Early Warning System--The Early Warning System includes students in kindergarten through grade 8. The Early Warning

System will identify students with course failures in English Language Arts and/or math for any grading period and identify

substantial Reading deficiencies for K- 3rd students. The school MTSS team is responsible for monitoring Early Warning

System data and implementing appropriate intervention strategies for students who exhibit two or more warning indicators.

Once a student is identified to have two or indicators a Progress Monitoring Plan (PMP) is created addressing the content areas

indicated. The student is assigned interventions for the content area and progress monitoring data is collected over time to

monitor progress in the struggling area. Each quarter the school determines if additional students need to be assigned PMPs.

The list of Early Warning Students is updated quarterly.

9B. Early Warning Systems The signing of HB 7069 eliminated the requirement that a school improvement plan include early warning system data,

however schools with any grade levels of K-8 are required to monitor students who are “off-track”. K-8 schools monitor

this group through the SMART System—See Part I. 3.G. MTSS section.

Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA)

ESSA Highlights – For all schools The Every Student Succeeds Act was signed into law on December 10, 2015.

ESSA includes provisions that will help to ensure success for students and schools. The law:

• Advances equity by upholding critical protections for America's disadvantaged and high-need students.

• Requires—for the first time—that all students in America be taught to high academic standards that will prepare

them to succeed in college and careers.

• Ensures that vital information is provided to educators, families, students, and communities through annual

statewide assessments that measure students' progress toward those high standards.

• Helps to support and grow local innovations—including evidence-based and place-based interventions developed

by local leaders and educators.

• Sustains and expands this administration's historic investments in increasing access to high-quality pre-school.

• Maintains an expectation that there will be accountability and action to effect positive change in our lowest-

performing schools, where groups of students are not making progress, and where graduation rates are low over

extended periods of time.

This section will be completed based upon the State of Florida’s timelines.
