Teacher and Student Success Plan
2020 - 2021
Overarching Goal
Increase student learning as shown by RISE proficiency levels and end of unit assessments in math, science and writing.
School Community Council and Staff Involvement in the TSSP
School Community Councils play an integral part in the development and monitoring of TSSP goals. Please briefly describe the participation of SCC members in the development process of this TSSP:
SCC members were invited to a one-day workshop on February 18th. Data was examined for math, science, social studies and English. From the data, rough goals were established. On March 13th the SCC met along with teacher representatives to refine the goals, action plans and expenditures.

Academic Goals
Based on the 2018-2019 ELA RISE results, our school’s overall proficiency rose by 1%. The 2 demographic subgroups that we have identified as needing more attention in order to close the achievement gap are our students who receive specialized instruction designated by an IEP and our English Language Learners.
During 2018-2019 RISE administration, 70% of students were proficient on the ELA RISE assessment. DPMS will increase overall proficiency in ELA from 70% to 71% on the 2019-2020 RISE by increasing the instructional focus on reading and analyzing informational text. In an effort to decrease the achievement gap for ELL students, ELA and social studies teachers will aim to increase each ELL student’s RI score by 45 points by the end of the 2020-2021 school year. In an effort to decrease the achievement gap for Special Education students, ELA and social studies teachers will aim to increase each Special Education student’s RI score by 25 points by the end of the 2020-2021 school year.

Academic Goals
74% of our students are proficient in math while 26% are basic or below basic. This pattern is most common in our English language learners and special education students. We believe the problem is a result of the increased literacy skills necessary in math. A strategy for improvement is to increase scaffolding within the classroom.
During the 2018-2019 school year, 74% of DPMS students were proficient on the math RISE. Looking at the end of unit assessments by grade level, 6th grade was still low on ratios, expressions, and equations, 7th grade was low on geometry, specifically circles, 8th grade was low on geometry and linear relationships. By the end of 2020-2021 school year, 80% of students will be proficient on end of unit assessments and 74% of students will be proficient on the RISE assessment.

Student progress toward this academic goal will be measured using end-of-unit summative science assessments throughout the school year as a predictor for RISE proficiency.
Teachers and teacher aides will scaffold for students with disabilities - including reteaching, small group instruction, explicit vocabulary instruction, sentence frames for structured classroom discussions and sentence frames and paragraph frames for writing.
Teachers will increase language production by providing sentence starters and paragraph frames for both structured classroom discussion and writing production. Language production will also be increased with explicit vocabulary instruction, using visual supports, and providing graphic organizers specific to vocabulary.
Progress will be communicated to all stakeholders using the Skyward and Canvas platforms following unit assessments. Progress will also be discussed during teacher collaboration. each Friday throughout the school year. Progress will also be shared with administration and the BLT using Google docs. In addition, the SCC will be informed by the principal.

School Climate Goals
38% of students are receiving one or more F's this school year. This pattern is common among all grade levels. A strategy for improvement is providing a Secondary Mentor to support students who are at-risk of failing classes or dropping out .
In order to reduce failing grades and improve attendance with our most at-risk students, our Secondary Mentor will meet with up to fifty at-risk students identified by administration and counselors to reduce the number of Fs per quarter by 10% and improve attendance by 10% per quarter.
| No | Yes |
Our Secondary Mentor will create individualized plans for student success. These plans will include one or more of the following: check in/check out, trackers for homework completion, trackers for behavior, contracts and rewards for attendance.
Quarter 1 grades and attendance will be used for baseline data. Progress will be monitored at the end of second quarter and the end of fourth quarter.
Progress will be communicated with the SCC and BLT twice a year - during second quarter and during third quarter.

School Climate Goals
Many students report feeling anxious or apprehensive about attending school. In an effort to provide meaningful opportunities for students to build relationships with other students and staff members and decrease averse feelings towards school, DPMS has started a Club Thursday after school program.
We will support students social and emotional health through specialized programs and additional personnel by increasing the number of students participating in additional social opportunities by 5% during the 2020-2021 school year.

Funds will also be used to provide an after school enrichment opportunity for students in the DPMS theater and stage tech programs. Additionally the instrumental music teacher will be paid a stipend to run a before school jazz band program. Teachers participating in these programs will be paid their hourly rate. ($10,000)
