The vision of the Baker County Pre-K/Kindergarten Center is to prepare individuals to be life long learners and responsible citizens of good character.
Belief Statement: All children can learn. Parents must be involved in their child's education. Teachers, Staff and Administrators must be life long learners. A safe and secure school is essential to an effective learning environment.
SCHOOL PROFILE DEMOGRAPHICS
The Baker County Pre-K/Kindergarten Center began construction in the spring of 2005. Our school opened in the Fall of 2005 and we are in our fourth year as a school site. The school consists of 5 buildings with 36 classrooms for Pre-K and Kindergarten students. We have administration offices, a nurse’s station, and a guidance suite in building 1. We also have two computer labs, one for Pre-K and one for Kindergarten students. Our facility serves the needs of all Pre-K and Kindergarten students for the entire district. It is unique in that it is the only Pre-K/Kindergarten Center in northeast Florida.
The PKK Center has a direct feeder system for the students. After kindergarten, the students attend Macclenny Elementary or Westside Elementary for grades 1-3, Keller Intermediate for grades 4-5, Baker County Middle School for grades 6-8 and Baker County High School for grades 9 – 12.
We offer a well-balanced curriculum that embraces an integrated activity based approach to education.
Parents participate at a high level, making many programs and activities possible. Celebrations and programs such as Spirit Day, “KinderChorus”, Curriculum Nights, Track & Field Day, Spring Fling, Class Plays and Productions on stage, Reading in the Park, and Graduation Celebrations are made possible by active community support.
The schools in the community of Baker enjoy tremendous support from the local merchants. Several of the businesses are Partners in Education with not just one but all of the schools. Food Lion, Wal-Mart, Burger King, Wendy's, A & R Construction and Exxon Gas are just a few that can be depended upon to support the schools.
Our kindergarten classes have 20 to 1 pupil-teacher ratio and our Pre-K classes have 10 to 1 pupil-teacher ratio.
The Baker County Pre-K/Kindergarten Center has 534 students. Our student population is 83.7% White, 12.7% Black, 1.3% Hispanic, .4% Asian, and 1.9% multiracial. For the 2007-2008 school year, 53% were on free/reduced lunch.
We have 26 teachers, 20 paraprofessionals/support staff, 1 guidance counselor, and 2 administrators that work at the PKK Center.
Both administrators have been trained in SUMS, Curriculum Mapping, and FRI strategies. Together they have 30 plus years of teaching kindergarten. Both are instructional leaders that insist on high standards of teaching and learning.

Both administrators are supporting school wide implementation of Positive Behavior Support (P.B.S.) For two consecutive summers, Mrs. Raulerson and Mrs. Jones attended the SUMS academy with the entire staff. They are doing daily walkthroughs, observing teachers, holding data meetings, and giving feedback to teachers to improve their teaching strategies in the classrooms.
Recruitment/Retention of Highly Qualified Teachers
Note: Required for Title I
The Baker County Pre-K/Kindergarten has a low teacher turnover rate. For the past two years, we have not hired any new teachers. We have a family atmosphere and a strong sense of collegiality where teachers work diligently to provide a quality education.
Through NEFEC and its Foundation for Rural Education Excellence, Baker County Schools participates in teacher recruitment efforts designed to help districts "grow their own". Specifically, partnerships between high schools and local community colleges have been established to increase interest in teaching within the northeast Florida region through the establishment of educational academies in high schools that provide college credits to students who enter the field of education.
School administrators from each school have opportunities to attend teach-in sessions at the University of North Florida, University of Florida and St. Leo College to recruit new teachers for our schools.
In addition, NEFEC and its Foundation are establishing a retention program that will increase mentoring to beginning, alternatively certified, and struggling teachers. Through NEFEC's newly created mentor cadre, high performing teachers are receiving training in mentoring skills and being matched with teachers in need of a mentor.
Our district has developed a training manual designed to help new teachers become more familiar with programs, strategies and information that pertain to each school’s site.
To further the district's efforts to retain highly qualified reading teachers, teachers are given a variety of opportunities to receive endorsement in reading, ESOL certification, and other professional development.

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS
Coordination and Integration
Note: Required for Title I
School Wide Improvement Model
Note: Required for Title I
If a principal recognizes that data shows that a teacher is in need of intervention, the principal will meet with the teacher to discuss areas of concern/need, review available options, and assist the teacher in the development or revision of the IPDP to reflect the appropriate interventions. Options for assisting the teacher include, but are not limited to ; one on one coaching opportunities with a high performing teacher in that area ; assignment to a mentor teacher; or peer review.
Instructional Strategies are consistent with the Sunshine State Standards. Every strategy we utilize is based on student need as determined by the systematic collection, disaggregation and dissemination of data. In addition to curriculum assessment data, analysis are also conducted of the Gates McGinitie, pre and post test data, DIBELS, FLKRS, and teacher-made tests. The analysis of this data shows students' strengths and weaknesses as they relate to the Sunshine State Standards for each subject area. The analysis of this data affords teachers the opportunity to adjust instruction in order to meet the academic needs of individual students. If determined that students need additional curricular or instructional attention, the needed curriculum adjustments are made. For example, a 65 minute block of time is allocated daily specifically for reading intervention and enrichment in the morning. The classroom teacher utilizes this time for small group instruction and literacy centers, enabling her to work with all the students in her class and deliver differentiated instruction. Resource teachers, the speech pathologist, and instructional assistants are assigned in these classrooms during this time to assist the classroom teacher.
All of our teachers have participated in the Florida Reading Initiative training that focuses on effective instruction of vocabulary, fluency, phonics, phonemic awareness, and comprehension.
During the 2008-2009 school year, we will continue to focus on the "Essential Six" strategies that have been identified as being imperative to successful reading instruction. In addition, we will learn how to gauge the effectiveness of our intervention and enrichment. This data will drive instructional focus. During the summer of 2008, all Kindergarten teachers completed their second year of Students Using Math and Science (SUMS) training. The purpose of the SUMS training is to provide our kindergarten students with purposeful, hands-on inquiry-based math and science instruction.
The PKK Center embraces the School Improvement Model. This summer, team leaders have reviewed our map and made updates, reviewed successes and areas of need to our map. Additions and corrections were made to our map. Our map is in constant review and is a working document to improve instruction and academic focus in the classroom.
The Baker County Pre-K/Kindergarten Center has joined efforts with all Baker County schools to implement Positive Behavior Support (PBS). Positive Behavior Support is a program that encourages and establishes desired student behavior. The Kinderkitten staff will teach and model the expectations and rules of our classrooms, cafeteria, hallways and resource through role play, skits, classroom lessons, etc. We will reward our students for positive behavior using these newly learned behavior skills by giving students “KinderCash”. Students can then spend the “KinderCash” on various rewards, special activities and items from the “Kinderkitten” store. Misbehavior and response to behavior will be documented by teachers using a Behavior Tracking Form. The data from the documentation will be entered into the SWIS software system by our data processor. The core PBS team will analyze data collected and stored in the SWIS software system in order to pinpoint the location, time, and frequency of student misbehavior, uncovering any patterns. This will enable the team to brainstorm solutions, or response to interventions to recurring misbehaviors and correct them.
NCLB Public School Choice
Note: Required for Title I
Communication with parents is a priority for all staff at the Baker County Pre-K/Kindergarten Center. Required parent conferences are the major means of communication with parents. At this conference, teachers review all information included in the nine weeks report card and skills checklist. This report card also provides information about attendance and conduct. At these parent conferences, the teacher reviews the students' progress. Parents are given suggested strategies to assist their children. We also have response to intervention (R.T.I.) meetings that allow a team of professionals to share their areas of expertise and brainstorm ideas on how to help the child academically, as well as behaviorally. Teachers also communicate with parents by sending notes home, phone calls,individual classroom activites and informal parent conferences throughout the nine weeks. Teachers communicate with parents through a weekly newsletter. They are also required to make two positive parent contacts per week. The school also sends home a monthly newsletter called "KinderKitten News" which details activities for all students for the upcoming month, as well as enriching activities that parents can do at home with their children. At kindergarten orientation before school starts, each parent receives a parent/student handbook that helps acclimate them to our school and their childrens’ first experience with school.

Pre-School Transition
Note: Required for Title I
The PKK Center will collaborate with other agencies to prepare students for entrances into kindergarten by:
1.Identifying students in need of transition services
2. Utilizing age appropriate curriculum and strategies/ Links to Literacy
and Saxon Early Learning Curriculum
3. Participating in School Readiness Coalition planning
4.Providing School Readiness and VPK classes during the school year
as well as VPK classes during the summer
5. Spring Pre-K and Kindergarten Round up / Enroll students for Pre-K
and Kindergarten
6. Identifying students' eligibility for ESOL, Migrant services and ESE
services
Collaboration between all Voluntary Pre-K (VPK) providers is consistent and on-going in order to facilitate an effective transition for young children into the kindergarten program at the Baker County Pre-K/Kindergarten Center. Our school serves 166 four year olds in a VPK program/School Readiness programs. The PKK Center serves the needs of special needs students in mainstreamed classrooms with E.S.E. teachers, C.D.A. certified instructors, and para-professionals. On-going and consistent communication between the PKK Center, Head Start, and other local private day cares provides for a smooth transition for these young children. We consistently share professional development opportunities, instructional strategies, resources and an array of learning opportunities to enhance the skills of the young children. Every effort is made to ensure the academic success of these children as they enter kindergarten ready to learn.
We also provide a "Staggered Start" for all kindergarten and pre-k students. This program allows small groups of 3 to 4 students to attend school the first four days of school. This promotes an easier transition into school and helps children adjust to school more successfully. The small groups affords the teacher the opportunity to get to know the children better, as well as assess the students so they can meet the needs of each student and individualize their instructional strategies.
MENTORING AND EXTENDED LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES
Teacher Mentoring
Note: Required for Title I
The PKK Centers' mentoring program has been very successful. All beginning teachers are paired with an experienced teacher, a peer teacher or mentor. This pairing is accomplished by placing teachers together who teach on the same team and are "neighbors". Mentor teachers are located in close proximity to the beginning teacher. Mentors and mentees meet on a regular basis, both formally and informally. Prior to assignment, each beginning teacher attends a week-long training conducted by the district office staff. Mentors are responsible for helping the inexperienced teacher identify strengths and weaknesses, and also help devise a plan to address areas of weakness. Mentors and administrators conduct observations of the beginning teachers. Each beginning teacher's identified weaknesses are tied to Professional Development through the Individual Professional Development Plan. Administrators monitor the teacher mentoring activities.
We have also developed a "TEAM FAMILY" concept. We have paired up teams of four that are composed of four teachers with different strengths, abilities, years of experience, and expertise. They collaborate on a weekly basis using data, their curriculum maps, evidence based materials, and a team approach to discuss and study the students within their team. Using the expertise and ideas of others on their team, they problem solve and find new ways to meet academic, social and emotional needs of their students. Each team has a team leader that records the findings and ideas that they formulate during their meetings and then bring back their results to a leadership team that meets once a month. We have found this collaboration to be one of the most beneficial concepts that impacts student and teacher growth.

Extended Learning Opportunities
Note: Required for Title I
VPK Summer School: The Baker County Pre-K/Kindergarten Center provides a Summer VPK program. We served sixty-seven four olds last summer. We provided 300 hours of quality instruction that helped prepare these children for our kindergarten program. There was a 10 to 1 ratio during the summer.
Technology: There are a minimum of four student computers in every classroom. Every team of four teachers has a SMART Board with a LCD projector and laptop that can be used for power point presentations, DIBELS reinforcement websites, and other educational software. We have two computer labs in which all students in our school rotate either every day or several times per week to access programs such as Jump Start Reading and Fast Forward.
We purchased 20 new computers last year and have just completed implementing a new brain researched software program called Fast Forward. This lab was piloted by our Pre-K students for the 2007-2008 school year. We will track the Pre-K students that are currently kindergartners to assess the effectiveness of the Fast Forward program. All kindergarten teachers have laptop computers which enables them to prepare lessons at home as well as analyze and disaggregate data.
Music/Learning Reinforcement: The "KinderChorus" is based on the early childhood philosophy of young children learning new skills and retaining them more quickly using music. We are continuing this successful program this year and building in more time for additional students to participate. Students are rotated in each month to allow as many students as possible to participate in this before school activity. At the end of their monthly rotation, the students are given the opportunity to perform their skill based music presentation at public events such as: school board meetings, Baker County Fair, Bus Driver Appreciation Brunch, Volunteer Banquet, Nursing Home etc.
The PKK Center Extended Day Program (EDEP) provides students opportunities with homework assistance, the practice of basic skills, participation in health related activities, and enriching thematic units.
The media center is open before- and after-school for student and parent check-out. The media specialist also provides a book fair once a year that gives parents and students an opportunity to purchase books that are appropriate for their age level and reading abilities. The media specialist, along with all of our kindergarten teachers, present an AR night that in-services parents about the Accelerated Reading program and how their child will progress through this program as they continue their educational experience in the Baker County school system. We open up our computer lab and model how to read the book and take an AR test with each child.
Each kindergarten teacher or team has a parent/curriculum night. They provide all parents with the opportunity to come in during the evening to learn more about the kindergarten curriculum and how to assist their children at home with homework and how to reinforce phonics rules and math concepts. They provide a handout with tips and suggestions for parents to use throughout the year.
The PKK Center also provides "School Readiness Nights". This program provides children who will be attending kindergarten the next year the opportunity to come for five evenings with their parents to transition into the kindergarten program. We have four kindergarten teachers who collaborate together to provide learning opportunities for the children as well as the parents. They invite special guest speakers such as: school superintendent, principal, school nurse, cafeteria manager, bus drivers, guidance counselor and other school personnel that help provide insightful information for our future kindergarten students.

GOALS
Goal: Reading
*Note: Required for Title I Scroll down for school data
|
| *Needs Assessment: |
Students reading success is measured through an assessment called DIBELS (Diagnostic Indicator of Basic Early Literacy Skills) Data analysis is based upon the DIBELS scores and curriculum-based assessments for reading.
|
| *Objective: |
75 % of students in kindergarten will score initial range on the third and final DIBELS assessment in April 2009. |
| *Strategies: |
1. Weekly grade level or team meetings will center on student work or the examination of assessment data and best practices for addressing challenges shared. This process will allow teachers to assist each other in how to drive instruction using data, provide an avenue for professional development, and result in the growth of a learning community that will sustain continuously improving instructional practices.
2. The instructional leadership team (principal, assistant principal, and team leaders ) will meet quarterly to examine progress monitoring data. Based upon that data, the instructional leadership team may meet periodically with the teams to guide the general direction of instruction and receive input from teachers.
3. At the beginning of the school year, during the development of the School Improvement Plan and at the end of the year, the principal will organize team meetings to examine student data and work collected. This process will ensure that teachers will develop a better understanding of the developmental process of reading, which will assist them in moving through the curriculum at an appropriate pace.
4. The differentiation of instruction in reading and across the curriculum is key in meeting the needs of the low performing students. Low performing students on the DIBELS will receive immediate, intensive intervention during the additional 30-minute intervention reading block. Teachers will apply strategies expressively designed for low performing students when working with students in small, flexible groups.
5. Instructional differentiation is not just for accommodating the needs of the struggling reader. Teachers will differentiate instruction for students on and above grade level to challenge those students to greater reading proficiency and applications. Teachers will provide explicit instruction in comprehension strategies at advanced levels in small groups. Work in learning centers will be tiered to provide stimulating, thought provoking activities that will challenge on grade level learners to use reading as a tool and to develop higher levels of thinking. Conversations of best practices for accomplishing this goal will be embedded in weekly grade level meetings that are focused on the analysis of student work, assessment data and best practices.
6. Students will receive high-quality, explicit, and systematic instruction in the reading classroom during a 90-minute block of uninterrupted time.
a. During the first 25-45 minutes of instruction, an initial lesson will be presented to the whole group using the CCRP reading lesson plan. During the remaining 45-65 minutes, instruction will then be differentiated according to assessment data as the teacher meets with small, flexible groups. Teachers will meet with 3-4 groups from 15-20 minutes each. At this time, the teacher may use ancillary materials from the CCRP, research-based instructional protocols, or supplemental materials to differentiate the instruction presented in whole group lesson through explicit instruction. Learning centers or cooperative learning groups are used to practice and reinforce instruction with activities that promote high student engagement for students who are not meeting with the teacher. Student placement in groups is flexible, and different curricula may be in use to instruct these different groups. There is active student engagement in a variety of reading-based activities, which connect to the five essential components of reading and to overall, clearly articulated academic goals.
b. Immediate intensive intervention for students struggling in reading, based on progress monitoring and outcome measures will be provided during the 30-minute intervention block, which will follow the 90-minute initial instruction reading block. The intensive instruction will occur with a reduced pupil teacher ratio.
c. Each classroom will provide a print rich environment, which includes the following utilization of: Classroom libraries with leveled text used during initial and intensive reading instruction, Word walls and interactive word wall activities to increase oral and written vocabulary used during all instruction, Literacy learning centers (reading stations) and or cooperative learning groups with tasks designed to meet the groups' identified needs, and instruction activities. The print rich environment will enable teachers to keep student actively engaged during instruction and practice activities.
7. Integration of authentic literature into the reading program is a critical component of a print rich environment.
Teachers will be trained in how to match leveled texts to student needs. The schools use leveled Accelerated Reader books in their classroom libraries and in the school media centers.
8. Reading instruction does not stop at the end of the 90-minute reading block. Reading comprehension strategies and vocabulary strategies will be taught in conjunction with instruction in subject areas across the curriculum using adopted text and additional leveled texts that address the content covered in the adopted text.
a. Guided instruction in comprehension strategies before, during and after reading through explicit modeling (think alouds), practice in instructional level texts, and feedback during reading, and language arts lessons.
|
| *Evaluation: |
1.The third assessment results of the DIBELS will reflect 75% of the kindergarten students scored at or above grade level.
2.. Continuous monitoring of student progress with McGraw Hill Triumphs, Scott Foresman My Sidewalk Intervention or K-PALS.
3. Continuous monitoring of student progress with Technology/ Galgano DIBELS Website
4.Teachers will implement a continuous improvement model using a professional learning community to align instruction with the required Sunshine State
5. Standards and make adjustments based on the data collected.
|
| *Evidence-based Program(s): |
a. All comprehensive core reading programs (CCRP) used in the Baker County School District elementary schools have been approved by Just Read Florida! PKK Center uses McGraw Hill Florida Treasures as the CCRP, Saxon Phonics, McGraw Hill Triumphs intervention, Scott Foresman My Sidewalks Early Intervention, K-PALS and quality literacy centers during their 90-minute reading block. The CCRP's serve as the basis for all reading instruction.. Each of the reading programs provides direction and ancillary materials that address differentiation of instruction in reading for advanced and struggling readers. Using the CCRP as a guide, teachers will introduce concepts at grade level and then use the guidance provided in the programs to differentiate instruction in small flexible groups according to data acquired through DIBELS, teacher observation, and diagnostic assessment information.
b. Supplemental reading program (SRP) materials will be used in several ways during the 90-minute reading block. First, according to assessment data, teachers may use supplemental materials to assist in the differentiation of explicit instruction in small, flexible groups. Supplemental materials may also be used in learning centers to support concepts taught during lessons from the CCRP, for practice on previously taught concepts.
c. Intervention programs for struggling readers will range in intensity of use in accordance with the needs of students indicated by progress monitoring. Students may require placement in a highly structured program or require less structured intervention such as explicit teacher directed instruction using manipulatives to segment, manipulate or blend phonemes in words. This intensive intervention instruction will take place during the 30-minute reading block, prior tothe initial 90-minute reading instruction.
d. Materials and programs, including educational software, will be used to provide additional support in reading growth for all children and will not substitute for explicit instruction by a highly qualified teacher. Educational software will be used primarily to support activities in learning centers within the classroom. Motivational programs such as Accelerated Reader (AR) will be used as one tool for motivating students to read widely outside of the reading block.
|
| *Professional Development: |
Principal
l. The principal and assistant principal will provide inservice on the school's comprehensive reading plan pre-planning hours before students arrive.
Lead Teachers will demonstrate lessons for teachers using scientifically-based reading materials. Through the professional development offered by NEFEC and the district, teachers will be given access to a variety of appropriate materials and will be provided tools for utilizing these materials in classrooms.
2. Lead Teachers will provide inservice to teachers on classroom set ups for effective reading instruction. Examples include effective and ineffective word walls, use of leveled texts,strategies for providing an environment conducive to small group instruction and reciprical teaching.
*Principals will meet with individual teachers to plan individual goals in the Fall in order to formulate individual classroom/student performance goals for the upcoming year.
*Each individual teacher must develop one reading goal as part of their IPDP.
*In order to receive a successful performance evaluation, the teacher must demonstrate success that the majority of the individual performance plan goals have been met as well as a successful score on the overall performance review.
*The principal and assistant principal will conduct CWT's in an effort to gather information and identify target areas to be addressed with specific teachers.
*Once areas are identified, administrators will work collaboratively to develop a schedule for modeling appropriate reading strategies for specific teachers.
*The principal will work with the instructional leadership team to determine professional development to be delivered based upon school data.

SCHOOL ADVISORY COUNCIL
School Advisory Council (SAC) Membership Compliance
The majority of the SAC members are not employed by the school district.
The SAC is composed of the principal and an appropriately balanced number of teachers,
education support employees, students (for middle, junior high and high school only),
parents, and other business and community citizens who are representative of the ethnic,
racial, and economic community served by the school.
Yes. Agree with the above statement.
SAC Involvement
The School Advisory Council is an active part of our school partnership and decision making team. We meet each month and the council helps make decisions that impact student growth/learning, safety, technology, and activities to encourage parent involvement. The council helps with everything from our newly implemented Positive Behavior Support, Fire Safety Week, Bus Driver Appreciation Week, Field Trips, Teacher Appreciation Week, Fund Raising Activities, Book Fair, classroom projects, tutoring students, reading in the park, Track & Field Day, Wildcat Spirit Day, Spring Fling, and many other activities for our students. We depend on our council and they are an integral part of our school.
