School Mission/Vision Statement: Brewster Jr.-Sr. High School is committed to connecting with, supporting, and assuring that all students are future ready. School Improvement Goals Professional Learning Communities: Given training on PLCs, 100% of the Brewster Staff will have a common understanding of the PLC process
and will demonstrate effective implementation of PLC practices by using established PLC protocols and norms, as measured by PLC Monitoring Feedback (surveys, self-assessments, pre/post PLC assessment, meeting agendas/minutes, and coach observation data) by June 2012.

Instructional Strategies: 100 percent of instructors K-12 will post student friendly objectives by October 1, 2011 for every subject as measured by
classroom walkthrough data. ***Brewster School District instructors will select and implement one additional Marzano high yield instructional strategy. Strategy will be measured using classroom walkthrough data and shared by April 1, 2012.

Mathematics: In Brewster School District, 100% of math teachers will be actively involved in PLC work and will be using completed curriculum guides,
including at least one standards-based assessment, prior to each MBA, by May 1, 2012. This will be monitored through PLC meetings and monthly surveys.

Reading: 70% of reading teachers will implement the curriculum guides to teach grade level standards by Fall benchmark as measured by CWT's, coach
observations, and teacher self-reporting. 85% of reading teachers will implement the curriculum guides to teach grade level standards by Winter benchmark as measured by CWT's, coach observations, and teacher self-reporting. 100% of reading teachers will implement the curriculum guides to teach grade level standards by Spring benchmark as measured by CWT's, coach observations, and teacher self-reporting.

CONCLUSIONS

What areas of strength were identified while reviewing your data? *Late start Mondays for PLC work have led to more vertical planning opportunities *Norms for PLCs *7th Grade Reading Scores improved *75% of Eighth grade Algebra students passed the Algebra End of Course *Increased the number and regularity of Classroom Walk Throughs *Large attendance for Parent Involvement meeting since linking this with PAC. *Over 83% attendance for Student Led Conference *Four day a week advisory program grades 7 - 12

What areas of concern were identified? *PLC establishment and direction. Intentionality and effectiveness of time. Holding each other accountable for norms of PLCs. *Encouraging 8th graders to take advanced math courses have led to missing key grade level instructional areas *Disseminate

Restructuring Efforts at Brewster Jr. Sr. High School Include: The district hired a new Jr. Sr. High School principal in 2007-08. A Dean of Students was also added. Navigation 101 was implemented to provide extra support and direction for students with organization and career readiness. The student schedule was restructured and changed from a modified-block to 7-period day in order to make elective courses available for struggling students in 7 12 grade. Student governance was resurrected with a great emphasis on student leadership. A new district superintendent was hired in 2010-11 and comprehensive collaborative planning and training was conducted under the guidance of Dr. Gene Sharratt, by utilizing perception surveys that were distributed to all stakeholders in the district. CEE was then hired to provide data analysis using the survey results. Other restructuring activities are embedded within the Schoolwide/School Improvement Plan. 2.

3. Strategies to Build Capacity for Parent Involvement What strategies will be implemented to build capacity for parental involv ement?
Brewster Jr.-Sr. High School is predominantly Hispanic, therefore communcation with parents must be given very careful and thorough attention. The staff seeks to involve parents by opening lines of communication through the use of their home visitor, translation services and participation in a highly effective district Parent Advisory Committee (PAC). This year ALL parents have been invited to the PAC meetings as an effort to create unity and bring together different viewpoints and break down barriers. There are many opportunities throughout the year for parents to be involved. The Schoolwide/School Improvement Action Plans include goals and activities in an effort to increase parent involvement. Two times each year (after first and third quarters) student-led conferences are held to provide an opportunity for students, as well as parents, to be involved in goal-setting and progress toward graduation. The schools Plan of Improvement does call for the involvement of parents to support math and reading instruction at home. Additionally, it has one specific goal that focuses on the following, Develop a strong communication/collaborative relationship with the diverse Brewster community in order to expand opportunities for students and strengthen committees/school identification, pride and collaboration. This goal has the following activities associated with it: Join community service organizations, attend meetings, and develop a monthly community school calendar; Implement phone system with Spanish and English capabilities; Schedule calendar of parent nights with one evening activity each month; Increase communication with parents/families by reducing written translation time and increasing availability of translators; Communicate academic standards and expectations across the grade level to parents (GLEs)

Please see Parent Involvement Plan (below) for more information. This plan is sent home to all parents in the fall for input.

Parent Involvement Plan

Brewster Jr. Sr. High School

Written Documents : The most prominent means of providing parents and other stakeholders with information.
All key documents are translated into Spanish. Written communication includes: District Calendar Monthly Newsletter Student handbooks Articles in the local paper written by administrators, staff, or press personnel on a variety of school-related subjects School Performance Report, placed on the district website, and available in hard copy in the office Individual classroom information such as course or grade level information, expectations, homework, and grading policies Progress reports, trimester grade reports, teacher notes, and Pride-O-Grams

2011-2012

School Improvement/SW Plan

Page 23

 Test results such as MSP, HSPE, EOC, WLPT II, and MAP Specific program documents such as IEPs and Notification of Teacher Qualifications Invitations and special notice of activities such as PAC, PTA, etc. Parents can also use these meetings as a means to let the school know what training they would like to see for themselves or for staff. Advisory: Students meet regularly during the week with advisors, who link with parents to collaborate on student academic needs throughout the school year. Signs at strategic locations around town advertising activities and events

Local Radio Stations (including one which is Spanish speaking) also forwards notices and information District Website : Our website (www.brewsterschools.org) provides parents with most written documents that are sent home, as well as
district, school and staff information.

Personal Contacts: Personally connecting with parents and guardians is viewed by the district as being the most effective means of sharing
and receiving parent information. Parents are welcome and encouraged to make contact with staff and administration. Following are methods and strategies of communication: The districts phone system is designed for both English and Spanish speaking callers. Formal Student Led Parent-Teacher Conference days are scheduled into the District Calendar. Bilingual staff participate in those meetings which require translation. Conferences are scheduled to accommodate the work hours of parents and are flexible enough to allow for meetings that must occur outside the identified days. Parent and community meetings are typically held during the evening hours to accommodate the working schedules of most adults. Translators are provided at parent meetings when it is known that Spanish-speaking adults may be present. The Bilingual Program purchased a Williams Sound System many years ago that can be utilized during meetings which need to be conducted in both languages. A Home Visitor serves as a liaison between the school and our Spanish-speaking public. This individual communicates information such as attendance, discipline matters, academic concerns, may assist with the completion of the Home Language Survey, celebration and Good News Notes or Pride-O-Grams, and sets up appointments. The Home Visitor makes contact with parents via the telephone, e-mail, or personal visits. School-Parent-Student Compact/Student Learning Plan: This is a document developed to create a link between school and home, identifying goals, actions, behaviors and responsibilities agreed upon by all three parties to be necessary to facilitate student success at school. Elements of the compact are discussed in conferences.

Strategies for Increasing Parental Involvement:

The value of partnering with parents is increased as the amount of parent involvement increases. Goals for facilitating parental involvement include: Design and implement monthly Parent Nights featuring all aspects of the curriculum. Assign/employ a Parent / Public Relations Coordinator. Provide Parenting Tips and strategies for working with specific aspects of the curriculum and in related areas such as socialization, medical, and growth and development. Develop and publish an interesting and informative Quarterly Newsletter that highlights activities, curricular information, celebration of building/staff/student achievements, and which includes a calendar. Parent participation and governance in PAC and PTA.

2011-2012

A part-time Home Visitor functions as a liaison between parents and the school. This individual is fluent in all modes of communication in both English and Spanish. Monthly School Board Meetings to provide elected parent representatives with a voice in school decisions, as well as an opportunity for parents and community members to hear about issues and information regarding decisions. Distribute, collect and review Parent Surveys, translated into Spanish, to obtain up-to-date parent input.

Communication Strategies for Parents:

The following suggestions are offered to parents as a means by which they may contact the school or specific personnel 1. Requesting a Meeting: Parents are encouraged to contact the teacher or specific individual with whom they would like to meet. This can be done in person before and after school, through email, or other written methods. Messages for an individual may also be left with the building secretary or the Home Visitor. 2. Requesting Participation on a Committee: The building has several committees on which parent input is critical such as School Improvement, Curriculum Adoption, Levy, etc. A parent may contact the building secretary and share their interest. The secretary will forward that information to the appropriate personnel. 3. Sharing Concerns: Parents are encouraged to speak directly with the individual with whom their concern is related. However, if a parent is uncomfortable with that, they are encouraged to seek out any individual in the building with whom they have a relationship and/or contact the building administrator. The district also employs a Student Advocate who serves as a liaison between students, parents, and staff to help resolve conflict. Policy 4130 Page 1 of 1 Adopted Oct 27, 2003 Reviewed January 2011 COMMUNITY RELATIONS Title 1 Parental Involvement
The Board recognizes that parent involvement contributes to the achievement of academic standards by students participating in Title 1 programs. The Board views the education of students as a cooperative effort among school, parents and community. The district and parents of students participating in Title 1 programs shall jointly develop and agree upon a written parent involvement policy. When developing and implementing this policy, the district shall ensure the policy describes how the district will: Involve parents in the joint development of the districts overall Title 1 plan and the process of school review and improvement. Provide the coordination, technical assistance and other support necessary to assist participating schools in planning and implementing effective parent involvement activities to improve student academic achievement and school performance. Develop activities that promote the schools and parents capacity for strong parent involvement. Coordinate and integrate parental involvement strategies with appropriate programs. Involve parents in an annual evaluation of the content and effectiveness of the policy in improving the academic quality of schools served under Title 1. Identify barriers to participation by parents who are economically disadvantaged, are disabled, have limited English proficiency, have limited literacy, or are of any racial or ethnic minority. Use findings of annual evaluations to design strategies for more effective parent involvement. Involve parents in the activities of schools served under Title 1. The Board shall adopt and distribute the parent involvement policy, which shall be incorporated into the districts Title 1 plan and shall, with parent involvement, be evaluated annually.Legal References: 20 U.S.C. 1118

4. Instruction by Highly Qualified Staff: All teachers and instructional para educators currently meet the Highly Qualified criteria for their
instructional area. It is the goal of the Brewster School District to hire only Highly Qualified staff when openings occur.

5. Strategies to Attract and Retain Highly Qualified Staff : As soon as openings occur, it is high priority to advertise the open
positions throughout the state of Washington, utilizing the school website, placing ads in newspapers, online teacher sites, etc. Although Brewster is a small rural school district, there are many positive factors about that, including the ability to get to know all the students in the school, form collaborative relationships with staff, participate in a large variety of research-based professional development, and become an active member in the community. Due to its demographics, there are many interesting dynamics in the district. Brewster is also located in a beautiful location with many outdoor activities available.

6. High Quality and Ongoing Professional Development:

Brewster School District has established professional development for school improvement as a priority. The school calendar includes a late start philosophy every Monday for staff in-service. Typically two of these Mondays a month allow our instructors to work collaboratively in their PLCs. One of the other two Mondays instructors work collaboratively in their CLAWS Grade Level meetings. These in-services, for all staff, focus on the needs identified from our data and address the professional development necessary to target the specific demographic needs of our population. In the past, training opportunities have been provided both on-site and at regional locations. A sample of recent opportunities includes: State Education Reform and the Essential Academic Learnings Teacher Leadership Project Effects of Poverty on Learning and Relationships Using SIOP strategies to target student weaknesses demonstrated in the WASL

All staff, regardless of their position is encouraged to participate in local, regional, and state conferences, and workshops. The majority of staff has received training in the following areas: Computer Literacy Assessing WASL Scores Reading Strategies Advanced Technology Training ELL Strategies Student/Parent activities also occurred during the school year. The Migrant/Bilingual Parent Advisory Committee (PAC) meets monthly OctoberMay and provides many opportunities for interaction and learning. The Brewster School District supports parental participation in regional and state training/conferences and has hosted such activities in the past. As previously mentioned, we received a five-day external audit as part of OSPIs Focused Assistance Program. Analysis of the Audit Team results revealed a need to: Align staff development priorities with goals for student performance Provide time for thoughtful collaboration concerning educational issues, best practices, and grade level articulation.

2011-2012

School Improvement/SW Plan

Page 26

Our High School and Middle School Staff has worked collaboratively in Professional Learning Communities. At the beginning of the school year staff analyzed WASL results from 2008-2009 and determined their professional development goals for the year. A major task associated with this goal was to provide ELL training for all instructional staff and arrange visitations to schools with successful ESL programs Currently, Brewster School District has a wide range of programs and grants with professional development requirements. Title I: Title I regulations state that a school in its first year of Program Improvement must set aside 5% of its total allocation toward professional development. Title I regulations further stipulate that instruction be provided by highly qualified teachers. Therefore, the district, buildings, and various programs have dedicated substantial funds toward ensuring that teachers, para-educators, administrators, and other stakeholders receive high quality and on-going professional development. New ESEA Federal Title I guidelines specify that instructional assistants currently employed on staff must have two years appropriate college course work, or an AA degree, or pass a rigorous assessment in the areas of reading and math by the 2009 2010 school year. Title II: Teacher Principal Training and Recruiting funds are being used to extend Project CRISS to Preschool to Fourth grades. Title III: This program funds staff activities that are centered around district goals and individual building improvement plans related to ELL. The district and building plans address the need for continued training on ELL strategies and methods across the curriculum for all ages of students. Special Education: Both State and Federal special education budgets have funds allocated for professional development, not just for special education staff, but for general education staff working with challenging students. I.D.E.A. re-authorization also addressed the important of students with disabilities receiving quality instruction by highly trained staff. The fourteen para-educator competencies have been embraced by the district and all instructional assistants, regardless of the programs in which they work have developed personal portfolios that include a self assessment and outlines training received. School Improvement: Certified and classified school personnel involved in the School Improvement Process can convert their time and effort into credits or clock hours. We feel we have both a central direction (School Wide / School Improvement Plan) and multiple programs to assist us in meeting our staff development goals.

7. Plans for Assisting Preschool Children in the Transition from Preschool Programs to Local Elementary Programs and Between Grade Levels: Within the elementary school, there is a great deal of vertical teaming between staff members. Individuals are
placed not only on reading grade level teams, but also, as part of the Schoolwide/School Improvement Action Plans, staff members are placed on Goal Teams, which provides many opportunities to communicate standards and expectations for each grade level. Assessments are conducted as soon as school is up and running in the fall so students can be placed appropriately and utilizing an RTI framework, staff analyzes data to monitor student progress throughout the year, making changes as soon as possible to better meet student needs. There is a preschool program onsite, which familiarizes preschoolers with the building and staff prior to the start of kindergarten. Kindergarten teachers share information with the preschool teachers to ensure that pre-kindergarten expectations are met. The counselors and staff coordinate the shift of students into the seventh grade through a series of meetings held in the spring, facilitating a smooth transition from one building to the other.

8. Inclusion of Teachers in Decisions About the Use of Academic Assessment Information for the Purpose of Improving Student Achievement: The entire K-12 teachers and administraters were invited to attend August 2 and 3 planning inservice where the
staff reviewed data and began the action planning process of school improvement. Goal teams were already in place when planning process began. Each staff member responded to a preference for participation on a specific goal team. These teams met together as a group in September to begin the review process. Since then staff has spent over six hours working together in reviewing our school improvement plan, researching best practices, developing strategies and completing their plans. At late-start Mondays, PLC teams meet to review assessment data and make instructional decisions based on these data.

9. Effective, Timely and Additional Assistance for Students Who Have Difficulty Mastering the Standards at Proficient and Advanced Levels: As a result of school improvement efforts, a number of changes have been made to both the curriculum and the
instructional programs within Brewster Junior-Senior High School. Instituted exploratories for all 7th and 8th graders, where one rotation was based on enhancing exposure to novels. Instituted a Supplemental Math course for all students needing work on basic math skills Searched and adopted a complete new math curriculum grades 6 - 12 Received an OSPI math tutoring grant which placed a teacher on special assignment in both the elementary school and junior high school Began work on aligning math and reading curriculum to the states grade level expectations Annually conducted data carousels to review student test results Formulated a building and district curriculum and instruction assessment team Assigned specific testing responsibilities at both the district and building levels Received a century 21 grant to institute an Afters program Used title I funds to blend an Afters program with the 21st century grant Second dose math for students under achieving in mathematics

Instituted an extended library usage time for all students 7 12, for access after sports practices into the evening. This tutoring time is supervised by a certified instructor. Implemented tutoring programs into the school day

The School Improvement Plan has strong instructional components. Student data was carefully reviewed and the instructional program was specifically designed to give students instruction in the basic skill areas. Additionally, the math and the reading programs were specifically designed to provide more instructional time. Primary instructional strategy that was adopted throughout the school was SIOP training. It was felt all instructors needed training on strategies to assist our ELL population. This strategy has been found to be particularly effective with our ELL population as many of these students lack the basic skills necessary to be successful in schools. Additionally, though staffing has been challenging in Brewster School District, teachers are instructing in endorsed areas and meet the state and federal standards for being, a highly qualified staff. Finally, students who are experiencing academic difficulty in school are not only scheduled into courses which are prevention in nature, but also given the opportunity to partake in after school supplemental programs such as Schools for the 21st Century, which provides them another opportunity to address their academic needs. The CLAWS Advisory Program begins each year with goal-setting lessons that have a primary focus (academic/personal). The faculty uses past academic performance (state test/end-of-course assessments/in-class progress) to pinpoint specific strengths and weaknesses of each learner. This process provides a foundation for the student-led conferences and enables students to take charge of their own learning with guidance and support from their advisor.

10. Coordination and Integration and Documentation of Federal, State and Local Services and Programs: The schools Plan of
Improvement coordinates directly with other major programs in the school. Direct services are provided to eligible students by employees funded by Title I Schoolwide funds. There is tutoring in Reading and Math. After school programs help students with their homework, and also educate them toward meeting state health and physical fitness standards. The activities/strategies in this plan are coordinated with the various programs available for students within the school district. An effort is made to coordinate with other community agencies and programs.

Monitoring the Plan: Brewster Jr.-Sr. High PLC Teams are responsible for monitoring the progress of the Action Plan and its impact on student achievement, ensuring that the activities and tasks in each goal are moving forward according to the identified timelines. Teams routinely gather data to see if what they are implementing is working. These formative measures may include classroom based assessments, pre- and post- achievement measures, observations of students, surveys of staff or parents, and analysis of student work. Monitoring the plan will continue until the activities outlined are completed AND they become part of our school culture. Finally, summative measures such as the MSP and NWEA/MAP, as well as Reading and Math Benchmark Assessments (RBAs, MBAs), are used to assess students progress toward stated goals at the end of each school year and results reviewed each fall.
