  • COMPONENT I: COMPREHENSIVE NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CNA)  

    DATA REVIEWED & ANALYZED:

    Based on your schools NSPF results, identify what additional data have been reviewed and analyzed in development of the SPP.

    School Data For General Education Including FRL English Language Learner (ELL) Data Special Education Data

    Nevada School Performance Framework (NSPF) Nevada School Performance Framework (NSPF) Nevada School Performance Framework (NSPF)Statewide Assessments Achievement Gap Data Achievement Gap DataNA NA NANA NA NANA NA NAOther: Other: Other:Other: Other: Other:

    Summary Statement: Please provide a brief description for how the analyzed data will impact your Inquiry and Action Planning process.Concerns:According to the NSPF, the ELA achievement gap of Black/African American students and that of the highest achieving subgroup is 38% as evident by the highest performing subgroup showing 73% proficiency compared to 35% for Black/African American. In addition, the proficiency level for Hispanic was at 58% compared to 73% for the highest performing subgroup. According to MAP Growth Fall 2019-2020 data, the difference between the mean RIT score of our highest performing subgroup and lowest performing subgroup Black/African American was 15.34 (220.5/205.16) and low performing subgroup, Hispanic was 8.4 (220.5/212.10).According to the NSPF, the Math achievement gap of Black/African American students and that of the highest achieving subgroup is 49% as evident by the highest performing subgroup showing 68% proficiency compared to 18% for Black/African American. In addition, the proficiency level for Hispanic was at 35% compared to 68% for the highest performing subgroup. According to MAP Growth Fall 2019-2020 data, the difference between the mean RIT score of our highest performing subgroup and low performing subgroup Black/African American was 17.06 (223.96/ 206.9) and our highest performing subgroup and lowest performing subgroup Hispanic was 11.36 (223.96/ 212.6).

    Celebrations:According to the 2018-19 SBAC results, Johnson Academy of International Studies scored 25 out of 30 points when it comes to student growth in both Math and ELA. In addition, Johnson Academy of International Studies earned the maximum number of points (10 out of 10) in the English Language Learner category due to 63% of our students meeting AGP.

  • HOPE 2 Intervention  Focus of Intervention:We will implement the StarOn/Restoritive Justice Program where students will receive instruction onsite, separate from the general student population, complete with a behavior modification/intervention program. Students will also be involved in sessions with the on-site social worker.

     Monitoring Plan:Students’ academic progress will be tracked using Infinite Campus while in the StarOn/Restoritive Justice Program. Likewise, specific goals and benchmarks for behavior modifications will be tracked quarterly.

     Evaluation Plan:Data results will be determined in the amount of referrals made to our StarOn/Restoritive Justice program in lieu of suspensions, behavioral referrals, and the number of expulsions.

  • COMPONENT II: Inquiry Process & Action Plan Design- Priority Need/Goal 1  

    Based on the CNA, identify all that apply:☑ General Education ☑ FRL ☑ ELL ☑ IEP ☐ Other

    Priority Need/Goal 1:Reduce the overall achievement gap percentage points between highest performing and ethnic/racial subgroups in reading. Reduce the ELA proficiency gap between Johnson Academy's highest performing subgroup and lowest performing ethnic/racial subgroup, Black/African American, from 38 to 35 by 2020 as measured by state assessments.

     Root Causes:According to the SPP team, collaboration is still needed so teachers can ensure their instruction is both standards-based and driven by data from common assessments and MAP's. During department and grade level PLCs, teachers need to create and implement lessons and use instructional strategies (ACES will be used school-wide) that will appeal to the diverse learners at Johnson Academy to increase academic proficiency among students.

     Measurable Objective 1:Reduce the ELA proficiency gap between Johnson Academy's highest performing subgroup and lowest performing ethnic/racial subgroup, Black/African American, from 38 to 35 by 2020 as measured by state assessments.

     Measurable Objective 2:Reduce the ELA proficiency gap between Johnson Academy's highest performing subgroup and lowest performing ethnic/racial subgroup, Hispanic, from 15 to 13 by 2020 as measured by state assessments.

     Measurable Objective 3:Decrease the non proficient Special Education subgroup in ELA by 10% as measured by 2020 state assessments to meet Safe Harbor.
