Teacher and Student Success Plan
2020 - 2021
Overarching Goal
To improve student and teacher outcomes through addressing attendance, behavior, and coursework.
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:
The BMS SCC meets on a monthly basis to review current data trends and discuss adjustments and ideas for the coming year. Ideas are presented to the SCC and the BLT in January and February. In April decisions about how to utilize the LandTrust monies and the adjust the goals were discussed and approved.

Academic Goals
Student Attendance has improved in all categories over last year. As a whole school last year we had 66% on track 1st quarter and 52% on track in 2nd quarter. This year we have 73% and then 64%. The pattern of improvement is in all subgroups. As we look at the various subgroups we are most concerned with SWD attendance and 8th grade.
ATTENDANCE--In the 2020-2021 school year, BMS will aim to have 85% of our students on track each quarter with attendance in all grades and student groups. We define on track as students missing less than 10% (green and yellow).
| No | Yes |
Increase the attendance of students by making attendance expectations more visible and explicit to students and parents systematically throughout the school year and building capacity in student/teacher relationship.
Monitored 2x each quarter (mid and end) through attendance information on Data Dashboard.
The goal is to have 85% of students with disabilities on track with attendance. We will add an attendance discussion and data point to IEP meetings and review SWD attendance monthly in SpEd meetings. We also will explore adjusting attainment of the Golden Bruin award based on compelling individual student progress in relation IEP and ELD goals with grades and/or citizenship.
The goal is to have 85% of students with disabilities on track with attendance. We will add an attendance discussion and data point ELL classes and review attendance monthly in ELL classes. We also will explore adjusting attainment of the Golden Bruin award based on compelling individual student progress/growth in relation ELD goals with grades.

School Climate Goals
Behavior--As we have been more strategic and improved the visibility of rewards, we have seen a 20%-60% drop in monthly referrals. Data indicates that October is a high incident month. Also, we have more office referral in the classroom with disruption and defiance. We want to continue making the reward system more visible and create a Think Time structure that is more restorative.
Behavior - 85% of students will report feeling connected to school on targeted school climate survey. We will average the last 3 data questions related specifically to connectedness from the survey.
