Looking at the data, Midway High School has a need to address Accelerated Instruction within the school day.
Having an 8 Period School Day will help our struggling learners, ESL and At Risk population stay on track for
graduation
Increases choice for all students
Allows Career Exploration for students that have previously lacked that opportunity
(Academies of Study)
Proposal – 8 Period School Day
Is necessary to address the State required intervention
We feel that Accelerated Instruction is needed to take place during the school day
Subjects in which Accelerated Instruction is required: 2011-12, 2013-14 Math (Algebra, Geometry, Algebra II)Science (Biology, Chemistry, Physics)
Social Studies (World Geography, World History, US History)English (Reading and Writing tested on 3 2 grade levels)

Start Time and End Time did not change
Bell Schedule Comparisons
Core Teachers and LOTE will teach – 6 of 8Electives Teachers will teach – 7 of 8
Student to Teacher Ratio will not exceed 160:1 in core subjects
Expectations:
Daily planning which provides teachers an opportunity to focus on data driven instruction, thus allowing meaningful development of common assessments
Teachers observe colleagues
PLCs will allow teachers to collaborate on strategies and innovative instruction
Great opportunities for Mentors and Mentees to work together
Professional Learning Communities
Collaborative teams whose members work together to achieve better results for the students they serve.
Collaborative teams who are not satisfied with the “status quo” and are constantly looking for ways to improve student
learning.
Allow “practical or collaborative strategies that allow for the refocusing energies and articulating priorities” – Great for
Teacher Interns
Allow a “particular appreciation of access to people” which “was a valued aspect of collaboration and community”
Data Driven Decision Making!
PLC’s are:
Why PLC’s?We can’t do what has always been done!
Each Collaborative Team had to:1. Set Group Norms – Expectations for PLC Behavior2. Develop S.M.A.R.T. Goals (Strategic and Specific; Measurable; Attainable; Result Oriented; Time Bound)3. Answer Critical Team Questions
What do we want our students to learn? (Objectives)How will we know they have learned it? (teach with the END IN
MIND!) (Assessment)What will we do for those that didn’t learn? (Intervention –
Response to Intervention)What will we do for those that have learned? (Enrichment)
Professional Learning Communities
Monday – Data Analysis Anticipating the data and responding to it
Tuesday – Technology Creating engaging, collaborative activities; utilizing Edmodo
Wednesday – Lesson Planning
Thursday – Differentiated/Lesson PlanningDifferentiation: Constructing lessons to reach all learners,Response to Intervention (Documenting accommodations and analyzing effectiveness of interventions)
Friday – Professional Growth Day
Layout of the PLC Weeks
We would like to propose that our Junior and Senior students be allowed the opportunity to have 2 Release Periods if they meet the eligibility requirements.
These students would be allowed the opportunity to either have their release periods:◦ 1st&2nd periods◦ 7th&8th periods◦ or 4th&5th periods (Option for Seniors Only)
This would allow a student to come late, leave early or have an off campus lunch daily (which would alleviate pressure on the lunch room).
Proposal Impact for Juniors and Seniors
The only students eligible for a release period would be Juniors and Seniors
For a Senior to be eligible, the student should meet the following criteria:◦ Should have 21 Credits (On Recommended Track)◦ Passed all TAKS Tests◦ In Good Standing with Attendance (cannot be denied credit)◦ In Good Standing with Discipline (cannot have served DAEP or JJAEP)
For a Junior to be eligible, the student should meet the following criteria:◦ Should have 15 Credits (On Recommended Track)◦ Met Level 2 Standard on all EOC Tests◦ In Good Standing with Attendance (cannot be denied credit)◦ In Good Standing with Discipline (cannot have served DAEP or JJAEP)
Must have a means of transportation to and from school
Eligibility for Release Period(s)
Need for increased CTE staffing because increased electives (this is positive for district budget)
Need for AI staffing to assist with Accelerated Instruction classes
Staffing Concerns
