Teacher and Student Success Plan
2017 - 2018

Overarching Goal

Jordan High will increase their graduation rate by 2% over the next 3 years based on 2017 graduation rate.

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:

At our School Community Council Meeting held on Thursday, March 2nd we discussed in detail our current Continuous School Improvement Plan (CSIP) as well as our Land Trust Plan. We have tried very hard as a school community to align our Land Trust Expenditures with our CSIP. At this meeting we discussed plans for 2017-18 and how we as a school and community can work towards improving Jordan High School. As part of this discussion we are using Land Trust as a support to our CSIP and continuing to fund resources for our most impacted populations including funds allocated specifically for: English Language Acquisition Courses, reading supports, math supports, technology, and general academic supports as part of a multi-tiered support system. This year we added funds for a licensed social worker to provide additional resources for those students deemed "at-risk" in danger of not completing high school.

Academic Goal

Problem Statement

41% of students are at-risk or off-track for graduation in course performance (D’s & F’s). This pattern is most common in low-SES, ELL, and special education students. We believe the problem is a result of ineffective tier 1 instruction, a lack of access to adequate supports, and poor attendance. A strategy for improvement is a systemic approach to identify and assist failing freshman and sophomore students, more focused coaching and feedback on instructional strategies to ensure success (passing grades) for all students, and a systematic approach to reach out to students who are flagged as at-risk for attendance.

SMART Performance Goal

Jordan High will improve our graduation rate by 1% based on our 2017 graduation rate. (We do not have data for 2017 yet. Our 2016 graduation rate was 88%)

What evidence-based instructional strategy will be your focus for the year?

Jordan High will focus on feedback as our evidence based instructional strategy.

What system structures/routines/procedures (if any) will need to be added, altered, or omitted?

Systems and structures will remain the same.

Learning Goal(s)—What are teachers expected to learn and implement in the classroom?

We will continue to focus our professional development efforts on Cornell notes as a feedback tool, as well as increasing positive feedback as both an instructional and behavioral strategy. In addition, Jordan High will introduce specific professional development regarding strategies for student to student feedback as well as student to self feedback as these methods have not been emphasized sufficiently and are excellent sources of instructional feedback.

How will progress toward this goal be measured?

We will use IPOP data as well as informal observations from administrators and coaches specifically targeted at feedback. We will use the COFF tool to help provide data regarding current levels of feedback as well as monitor improvement.

School Climate Goal

Problem Statement

Students from low-SES backgrounds continue to have have poor success in the classroom at JHS, as compared with their non-impacted peers. Their failure is well-documented in the form of achievement discrepancies and behavioral data. We believe the problem is a result of teacher background knowledge about socially just practices and the appropriate supports and strategies to mitigate the impact of those circumstances. A strategy for improvement is more deliberate efforts to discuss the challenges faced by this demographic of students and ways to help support students.

SMART Performance Goal

Using a survey collaboratively developed using existing baseline data, Jordan High will increase general student perceptions of socially just practices by an increment of .3. The survey will be on a 5 point scale.

What climate enhancing support will be your focus for the year?

Intentionally recognizing positive student behaviors during classroom instruction as well as increased efforts to develop positive student relationships.

What system structures/routines/procedures (if any) will need to be added, altered, or omitted?

Teachers will commit to be in doorways during passing time as a safety measure, positive behavioral support, and relationship building tool.

Learning Goal(s) - What are teachers expected to learn and implement in the classroom?

Teachers will receive professional development regarding best practices related to positive behavioral interventions to use as an instructional support as well as a classroom management strategies.

How will progress toward this goal be measured?

Students and teachers will complete a climate survey mentioned above.

Summary of Expenditures for all Goals

There are times when the planned expenditures in the goals of a plan are provided by the district, a grant, or another unanticipated funding source leaving additional funds to implement the goals. If additional funds are available, how will the council spend the funds to implement the goals in this plan?
