Comprehensive Needs Assessment Process: Over a period of two months, March-April 2013, the District Education Improvement Committee (DEIC) examined a wide variety of student performance data, with an emphasis on the 2011 Academic Excellence Indicator System (AEIS). During this time period, members of the DEIC identified trends and concerns based on data. Finally, members of the DEIC prioritized strategies consistent with the District strategic plan to address concerns. These strategies are included in the 2013-2014 CCISD District Instructional Improvement Plan. The information that follows lists trends and concerns identified by the DEIC. The Clear Creek Independent School District was founded in 1948 and serves 39,410 students in grades PK through 12. Seven years ago, 35,378 students were served by CCISD, which is an increase of 10.2%.

Issues Proposed Actions

Only compares state results; not a national comparison 4th grade writing low Math low Reading and math are below desired levels Students don’t gain much within a subject as they get

older The transitional bridges from and to 3rd grade for

assessment purposes appear missing

Move towards assessments that help students/teachers

determine readiness at a national level More exposure in third grade through the integrating

writing interdisciplinary More emphasis on basic skills at lower grades Take into consideration different testing styles and tools

when assessing. Show growth (in portfolios) More discussion between tested/non-tested grade-level


25

Advanced scores seem lower than accustomed for CCISD

First time test takers performed lower. Grade 3 scores lower than grades 4 and 5

Look at possible correlation between reading skills and math performance

Math scores are low 3rd and 4th grade Math scores are below 80%

teachers Provide tutoring/interventions for those students so they

can earn advanced Implement Math Specialist at elementary. Don’t use

decomposing numbers, teach traditional algorithms Exposure to test strategies with skills based instruction Departmentalized classes beginning in 3rd grade so

teachers can become experts in content area Analyze spring 2013 STAAR assessments in order to

identify problem areas 4th grade writing perhaps need to address conventions of

writing on a daily basis

Only compares state results; not a national comparison. Lower levels of advanced scores in math and writing 8th grade math-advanced same as state 7% 8th Grade Social Studies is much lower than all other

subjects Advanced scores decrease from elementary to middle

school. We think it is because in middle school advanced kids are taking EOC courses for high school (Algebra I) and not in the data above.

8th grade Math: only 7percent advanced 8th Grade Social Studies, while way above the state

average, is below the normal standards of CCISD’s 98 percent passing rate with TAKS

8th grade Math, Science and Social Studies Advanced

Increase G/T classes-number of students in higher math Improve reading and writing practice More Professional Development Put a disclaimer on this data showing which kids are not

included because they are taking a high school course (EOC)

Prioritize and emphasize all content/subjects equally throughout the day

Teach more Social Studies at elementary Proper Pre AP curriculum design Look at foundations missing-look at going deeper on

struggling topics Ask for input from subject area teachers about factors that

may cause the drop. Figure out areas that have the


27

score dropped drastically Low scores in Social Studies 8th grade Math-low advances math percentages

problems and go through to see what objectives need to be stresses. Check points should reflect what is on the STAAR test

Age appropriate vocabulary in elementary level to have schema to bring forward

Fundamentals in Pre-Algebra (i.e. profitability and stats need to be addressed in 7th grade)

CCISD results are significantly higher than state averages across all tests and grade levels

This group observes that the minimum percentages were higher in subject areas (reading and math) where students had been tested for a long time (3rd and 4th grade)

Writing continues to be lower scoring area Science continues to be higher scoring area

Continue to encourage higher level thinking in all subject

areas Teach curriculum to get students ready for the real world More practice/change strategy-more real world Perhaps because more hands on More technical writing skills (grammar, format, etc.)

needed to succeed in college and career More writing prompts in all subjects Possible: make the subject interdisciplinary, more

emphasis on the process and skills; portfolio assessments each year

High quality PL for teachers of writing Keeping writing in all grade levels

The CCISD State Compensatory Program (SCE) consists of funding for direct instruction aimed at closing the achievement gap on state assessments, funding to support summer school programs, funding to support Clear Path Alternative School, and funding to support the Community in Schools (CIS) Program.

Library Services funding is utilized in CCISD to integrate technology and/or library services across the curriculum. Title III funding is utilized in CCISD to provide students identified as second language learners with materials and resources to develop language

proficiency skills. Title IV funding is utilized in CCISD to implement preventative activities and programs to reduce the use of drugs and to prevent violence.

Federal special education funding is utilized in CCISD to provide students identified with special needs diagnostic mathematics and reading assessments along with computer aided lessons focusing on areas of need, assistive technology for communication/instructional purposes, and access to the general education curriculum through either staff Learning and or distance learning equipment. ADDENDUM TO THE COMPREHENSIVE NEEDS ASSESSMENT Under the federal No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act of 2001, a Title 1, Part-A funded school district must demonstrate “Adequate Yearly Progress” (AYP) in 36 areas. Of the 36 indicators, the Clear Creek Independent School District met 35. The area in which the District missed AYP was in mathematics as a result of the federal cap on the number of students who can take a special education assessment. This is not because special education students did not perform well on the recent State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR), but rather the District exceeded the federal cap on how many special education students can take an alternative or modified state assessment. Under the NCLB, only 3% of the passing scores can result from students in special education taking a modified STAAR test. As a district of more than 39,000 students, the federal cap was exceeded by 1.3% in mathematics. Passing scores of students in special education that exceeded the cap resulted in a reduction of the actual passing rate of 79% to 66% for special education performance in mathematics. The DIIP was revised in consultation with parents, business, community, teachers, and school administrators. The following data were reviewed: Student performance results on the state assessment; Professional Learning plans for teachers working with students receiving special education services.
