Georgia Department of Education Title I Schoolwide/School Improvement Plan

Dr. John D. Barge, State School Superintendent

July 2014 ● Page 43 of 88

* The education landscape in Georgia is changing. Expectations for student performance have been raised with the adoption of Common Core Georgia Performance Standards (CCGPS); student assessment has changed to meet the rise in rigor needed to master these new standards. The ESEA Flexibility Waiver has put new guidelines in place. As such, it is difficult for us to anticipate where Liberty County’s students will be performing at the end of the proposed charter term. If we use our scores in Analytic Geometry and Coordinate Algebra as a precursor, we can safely anticipate an implementation dip as we make the transition this year from CRCT and EOCT to GMAS (Georgia Milestones Assessment System). We have been using the CRCT and EOCT Performance Targets outlined in the ESEA Flexibility Waiver as our performance targets to this point. These targets will be re-‐normed once baseline data is collected on the GMAS End of Grade (EOG) and End of Course (EOC) tests in Spring 2015. It is reassuring to know that the state will be setting new targets based on ALL student scores rather than just a small sampling of the student population.

Bradwell Institute 2015-2016 Title I School-Wide Plan for Improving Student Achievement Measurable Goals:

1. Increase the graduation rate by 3% during the 2015-2016 school year. • Establish a baseline on the new EOC assessments that meets or exceeds the state average in each area. • Increase the overall CCRPI score by three points. • Increase the number of students across all subgroups passing all math courses by 2%. • Increase the number of students with disabilities passing EOC assessments in all content areas by 2%.

2. Increase the number of parent involvement activities to allow parents to take a more proactive roll in their student’s educational process.
