Note: Required for Title I

School Wide Improvement Model

Note: Required for Title I

For the fourth year, Richardson Middle School is implementing the Florida Reading Initiative. This model is being implemented by all teachers in every subject area (both core curricula and elective courses). Teachers are required to use FRI strategies in their classrooms and document these FRI activities in their lesson plans. A Reading Coach is on staff to assist teachers with the implementation of FRI strategies into their classrooms. Teachers continue to incorporate techniques learned through Modern Red Schoolhouse.
Richardson Middle School will continue to implement FCIM which is a research-based and performance driven school-wide improvement model that encompasses the following components:
• Data Disaggregation and Analysis - Teachers will disaggregate preceding year's FCAT data and examine trend data to identify instructional subgroups, along with weak and strong objectives areas. Teachers will also utilize Kaplan, Maze and fluency tests to measure strong and weak areas. Teachers will be trained in data disaggregation. DART and the FCIM model will be used to help develop Instructional Focus Calendars for reading, math, writing, and science.
• Mini-assessments and other diagnostic test data will be analyzed by teachers to determine the need for reteaching, tutorials, or enrichment.
• Informal/formal assessments will be given. Diagnostic tests will be given during the first month of school. Mini-assessments will be given by classroom teachers using Florida-Achieves. Results will be discussed with the students and by teachers in team and department grade-level meetings.
All teachers do an FCAT reading or math activity in FCAT format at the beginning of each class every day. All teachers implement the "Word of the Day" which is used by teachers throughout the day during instruction. A leadership team has been established to work together with the School Advisory Council to implement school improvement. The Student Assistance Program (SAP) identifies and assists students with barriers to learning (such as depression, emotional trauma, drugs and alcohol, peer conflict, etc.) to improve student achievement school - wide.

NCLB Public School Choice

Note: Required for Title I

A variety of methods of communication are used at Richardson Middle School. One of the most commonly used is the student planner. Each teacher requires students to copy the daily agenda for that classroom into their planner. Students are then required to get a parent/guardian signature at the end of the week. Therefore, every parent/guardian is kept informed on a weekly basis regarding what is happening in each classroom. Parents are encouraged to write notes to the teacher in their child's planner if they have questions regarding the weekly agenda. The teacher will respond to the parent note through the planner or by phone. Teachers also use the planners to have students jot down important meetings (such as PTO) and have the students get the note initialed by their parent/guardian. Another method of communication is an automated calling system. The automated calling system notifies parents of student absences, meetings, and up-coming events. Notices for PTO and SAC are sent home with students and displayed on the school marquee. The school also has a web-site where parents can obtain important information regarding school activities and other general information. Some teachers use a personal web page to post important information and assignments online for students and parents. Language Arts teachers send home copies of student progress in the accelerated reading program and STAR reading levels. This CD is available for checkout by students for home use. Richardson Middle School also submits a monthly article to the Lake City Reporter (local newspaper) to be included on the school news page. Prior to FCAT testing, the guidance office sends home a booklet provided by the D.O.E. that gives test taking tips and strategies to parents. 6th, 7th, and 8th grade academic teachers also hold parent meetings at night for parents/guardians of all students for whom an AIP plan must be written. RMS distributes a monthly newsletter for students and parents. Each team participates in parent conferences to improve academics and/or behavior. Teachers use the CrossPointe grade book online provided by the county in which parents will be able to log in and check their child's progress in each class.

MENTORING AND EXTENDED LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES

Teacher Mentoring

Note: Required for Title I

Beginning teachers are assigned a mentor teacher through our County's Teacher Assistance Program. The teachers serving as mentors have been trained by NEFEC in a three-day workshop. We presently have 9 teachers that are qualified as mentors for beginning teachers. We also have one National Board Certified teacher that serves as a mentor to teachers going through the Alternative Certification Program and mentors other teachers as needed. The mentor teachers in both of these programs monitor their beginning teacher, conduct observations, provide support materials, allow the beginning teachers to observe in their classrooms, and provide any additional assistance needed. Currently the teachers serving in a mentor position are:

Teacher Assistance Program
Susan Williams (mentor), DeDe Houk (beginning teacher)
Brenda Jackson (mentor), Shane Pope (beginning teacher)
Christy Robertson (mentor), Sherod King (beginning teacher)

The Reading Coach and National Board certified Guidance Counselor meet with beginning teachers once a week in a "learning community" environment. For example, they use this time to watch Harry Wong videos, discuss policies and procedures, and assist in alternate certification.

Extended Learning Opportunities

Note: Required for Title I

School Level: Many teachers also offer tutoring during the 8:00 - 8:50 time period for students that are struggling in their classrooms. The Media Center is open before school and allows students access to the internet for research purposes and school - wide math programs. There are two computer labs available as needed. The sixth grade students have the opportunity to become involved in the Early Awareness Program sponsored by the Lake City Community College which helps the student understand the benefits of graduation from high school and continuing on to higher education.
District Level: Homework and summer reading lists will be utilized to enhance reading. Tutoring sessions either before or after school will be made available as deemed appropriate.

Through Century 21 funds the students will be offered after school support and tutoring inclusive of activities addressing needy areas based on baseline data from Kaplan and FCAT assessments.


SCHOOLS GRADED C OR BELOW

Professional Development

The reading coach has materials on differentiated instruction available for check out by teachers.

Disaggregated Data

Teachers are provided the FCAT demographics report to perform data analysis at the beginning of the school year. Teachers use the data to determine instructional strategies best suited for students to achieve mastery on the FCAT.

Informal and Formal Assessments

The Maze test is a progress monitoring tool that tests reading fluency and will be given to students three times during the school year. The results determine whether a student will be in a reading intensive class for the following year. Data will be provided to all teachers.

The Oral Reading Fluency Test is a progress monitoring tool that will be given to all level 1 and level 2 students by the reading teachers three times during the school year. Data will be provided to all teachers.

Write Scores is a progress monitoring tool that will be given to students during the school year. All 6th grade students will be given the Write Scores in the Fall, Winter and Spring. The 7th grade students will take the reading test in the Spring. All 8th grade students will do the reading and writing tests in the Fall and Spring of this school year. Data will be provided to all teachers.

Language Arts use the Star Test as a progress monitoring tool to test comprehension in reading.

The Kaplan Achievement Planner will be utilized by all teachers to monitor student achievement throughtout the school year. Teachers will assess tools and lesson plans specific to the needs of students, provided by the Kaplan Achievement Planner. Teams will meet periodically to implement effective learning strategies that are data driven.

Mini-assessments are given to students in Language Arts, Math, Science and Social Studies that test student mastery of the FCAT benchmarks periodically throughout the school year.

Alternative Instructional Delivery Methods

Teachers implement FRI strategies in the classroom to teach all students. Student use FCAT Explorer and Orchard Lab. Level 1 and Level 2 students are placed in intensive reading or math classes for the year. Level 1 and level 2 students that are disfluent in reading have back to back intensive reading classes. Teachers design focus lesson on FCAT benchmarks and mini -assessments to determine student mastery. Students who master benchmark will be placed in an enrichment activity designed by the teacher or team. Students who do not provide mastery will be provided more instructional time by the teacher to achieve mastery of the particular benchmark (s). Designated teachers received CARP training to provide instructional strategies for level 2 fluent readers in the classroom as an alternative to intensive reading classes. Gifted students are placed in a gifted program provided by the county and attend once a week. The Sail program administered by Dr. Summers meet the need of the Gifted.
