                Closing the Achievement Gap (Literacy): Regular meetings of our (Literacy) ACSIP Leadership Committee will continue to be held. These meetings will focus on building capacity within our school. Each meeting agenda will include the following Core Principles: A. The selection, and continuous evaluation, of research-based, scientifically validated, Interventions designed to improve our ability to improve student performance on the Literacy portion of all Assessments. B. The ongoing monitoring of student progress in order to influence classroom instruction. C. The utilization of Formative and Summative Assessment Data to make decisions that impact: Curriculum, Instruction, Assessment and Professional Development. D. Coordination of resources in order to better meet the needs of all students. Written minutes of each meeting, along with a sign-in sheet, will be kept and made available upon request. The intent is that each Intervention, and Action, is carefully monitored…through the collection of Formative and Summative Data….so that those strategies that prove ineffective can be revised, or abandoned. Our ACSIP Plan will be revised each spring, and fall, in order to keep it timely and valid in our efforts to improve teaching and learning.

                                PROGRAM EVALUATION: During the 2007-2008 School Year we elected to use 11th Grade Literacy Exam as the evaluation tool to determine whether this Intervention/Program was effective in improving student achievement. 66.8% of our students scored proficient, or advanced, on the first assessment compared to 71.4%, on the last. WE plan to use the same protocol for assessing the Intervention/Program and making decisions that impact the various activities, as described in the action descriptions, during the 2008-2009 School Year. In order to measure student growth and determine the EFFECTIVENESS OF THE INTERVENTION/PROGRAM we will administer 11th Grade Literacy Exam. We expect to see a minimum of 59.69% scoring proficient, or advanced, on the last assessment we administer as specified in the expected annual performance levels of AYP. We will report the results in our 2009/2010 Plan and use the results to determine whether the objective (s) of this Intervention/Program was (were) reached and to set a standard for future expectations. The evaluation results will be used to impact the decisions we make that affect our future instructional program.

                                            Students who are identified as at-risk will be placed in an alternative learning environment (ALE) with access to services of a school counselor/mental health professional, a nurse, and support services, all provided by the district. The ALE will employ sufficient personnel in the core academic content areas in order to meet the student/teacher ratios (as outlined in section 4.02-Rules Governing the Distribution of Student Special Needs Funding-September, 2007) and allow students to secure enough credits for graduation. Any student eligible for special education services will continue to receive services while in the ALE. Students will not be placed in the ALE based on academic problems alone. Students placed, otherwise intelligent and capable, may have one or more of the following characteristics: Disruptive behavior, potential drop out, personal or family problems, recurring absenteeism, transition to or from residential programs or conditions that negatively affect the student's academic progress. (Abuse-physical, mental, sexual, frequent relocation of residency, homelessness, inadequate emotional support, mental/physical health problems, pregnancy, single parenting) Documentation shall be maintained as to placement decisions made by the Alternative Education Placement Team. All ALE teachers will receive professional development pursuant to ADE Rules and Regulations. The Alternative Learning Environment will have as its goal to increase attendance of at-risk students and to graduate them. Parent conferences will be required for placement in the program and school personnel will be in frequent contact with parents. The placement conference will include the principal, counselor, teachers, parents, and other appropriate personnel in order to make good decisions about what services will be available while in the ALE. If the student makes significant academic and/or behavioral progress while in the ALE, the student may be exited from the program. The ALE Placement Team will develop exit criteria. The ALE will meet all guidelines required by the ADE and state laws.

                                            PROGRAM EVALUATION: During the 2008-2009 school year we plan to use the formative assessments and teacher-created summative assessments in all math classes in evaluating, and adjusting, the programs, processes, and activities that make up the action descriptions within this intervention/program. We will use this data/information to determine whether the objective (s) of this Intervention/Program was (were) achieved and whether it has been successful in attaining the anticipated participant outcome objectives. We will report the results, in our 2009/2010 ACSIP Plan, and use those evaluation results in making decisions that impact our future instructional program."

                                              PROGRAM EVALUATION: During the 2007-2008 School Year we elected to use Algebra EOC and Geometry EOC as the evaluation tool to determine whether this Intervention/Program was effective in improving student achievement. Although 38.5% of our students scored proficient, or advanced, on the first assessment of the Algebra EOC compared to 31.8%, on the last, 64% of our students scored proficient or advanced on the first assessment of the Geometry EOC compared to 71.6% on the last. WE plan to use the same protocol for assessing the Intervention/Program and making decisions that impact the various activities, as described in the action descriptions, during the 2008-2009 School Year. In order to measure student growth and determine the EFFECTIVENESS OF THE INTERVENTION/PROGRAM we will administer Algebra EOC and Geometry EOC. We expect to see a minimum of 55.75% scoring proficient, or advanced, on the last assessment we administer. We will report the results in our 2009/2010 Plan. The evaluation results will be used to impact the decisions we make that affect our future instructional program.

                                                Closing the Achievement Gap (Math): Regular meetings of our ACSIP Leadership Committee will continue to be held. These meetings will focus on building capacity within our school. Each meeting agenda will include the following Core Principles: A. The selection, and continuous evaluation, of research-based, scientifically validated, Interventions designed to improve our ability to improve student performance on the Literacy portion of all Assessments. B. The ongoing monitoring of student progress in order to influence classroom instruction. C. The utilization of Formative and Summative Assessment Data to make decisions that impact: Curriculum, Instruction, Assessment and Professional Development. D. Coordination of resources in order to better meet the needs of all students. Written minutes of each meeting, along with a sign-in sheet, will be kept and made available upon request. The intent is that each Intervention, and Action, is carefully monitored…through the collection of Formative and Summative Data….so that those strategies that prove ineffective can be revised, or abandoned. Our ACSIP Plan will be revised each spring, and fall, in order to keep it timely and valid in our efforts to improve teaching and learning.

Teachers will use the National Staff Development Council's NSDC Standards Assessment Inventory to evaluate the effectiveness of the professional development plan, the course offerings and the effectiveness of the knowledge gained. Annually, upon review of the test data, the professional development committee, working under the guidelines of the district professional development plan, will develop a professional development plan for the school and individual teachers based on information obtained through data analysis. All new teachers (first 3 years) and teachers in need of assistance will be assigned a mentor to assist them in reaching their professional development goals and needs. All teachers will have the opportunity to have input on the district and building level professional development plan. The district will provide all teachers and administrators will no less than 60 hours of professional development including 6 hours of technology and 2 hours of parental involvement development (3 hours of Parental Involvement for Administrators) and for those who teach Arkansas History, 2 hours of training in that subject. Teachers will have the opportunity to evaluate the benefit of the professional development activities and provide feedback on needed changes.

We believe the program to be successful and plan to use the same protocol for assessing the Intervention/Program and making decisions that impact the various activities, as described in the action descriptions, during the 2008-2009 School Year. We will report the results in our 2009/2010 Plan and use the results to determine whether the objective (s) of this Intervention/Program was (were) reached and to set a standard for future expectations. The evaluation results will be used to impact the decisions we make that affect our future instructional program.

This functions to increase awareness of the importance of staying physically active and promotes the school's interest in the idea of a healthy mind and a healthy body.

During the 2008-2009 school year we plan to use the Fayetteville High School Parent Survey and Advisory Parent Survey to continue evaluating, and adjusting the programs, processes, and activities that make up the action descriptions within the intervention program. We will use this data/information to determine whether the objective of this intervention was achieved and whether it has been successful in attaining the anticipated participant outcome objectives. We will report these results in 2009/2010 ACSIP Plan, and use those evaluation results in making decisions that impact our future instructional program.

During the 2008-2009 school year we plan to use the AR Prevention Needs Assessment Student Survey and Advisory Survey to continue evaluating, and adjusting the programs, processes, and activities that make up the action descriptions within the intervention program. We will use this data/information to determine whether the objective of this intervention was achieved and whether it has been successful in attaining the anticipated participant outcome objectives. We will report these results in 2009/2010 ACSIP Plan, and use those evaluation results in making decisions that impact our future instructional program.
