2012 Needs Assessment & Evaluation Summary
• When responding to the questions below, data from Tables A, B, C, D and E should be used.
1. Describe the process and techniques used in the needs assessment.
A needs assessment was completed by teachers in June 2011. Instructional priorities and programs implementationsare based on the needs of our school. The teachers analyze their class data and assess performance of their studentsat various levels such as class, student groups and individual student level. NJASK, ACCESS, DRA, District WritingAssessment & District Interim Assessment results are also used as a tool to identify student strengths and weaknessesas related to the core content standards. We also use the progress indicators in the Read180 and Reading PlusProgram. Student progress is checked bi-weekly by the principal and regularly by the classroom teacher.
2. Describe methods used to collect and compile data for student subgroups.
Based on the results of various sources, data is disaggregated by clusters, class rosters and targeted skills for studentsubgroups. The classroom, after school (21st Century Program), and SES instruction becomes data driven decisionmaking in order to differentiate instruction for individual student needs. In addition, this data is used by the CAPAreview team to prepare findings and make recommendations. We provide SES providers, Century 21 and I&RS with allrelated data. This data is used as a pre- and a post- in an effort to evaluate program effectiveness.
3. Explain how the data from the collection methods are valid and reliable.
The Office of Testing and Evaluation disaggregates the data by clusters in language arts, mathematics and science.Data is also disaggregated by clusters to help determine root causes. Class rosters and targeted skills are created for
each grade level and classroom level. Subsequently, children are grouped according to their instructional needs andinstruction is modified based on individual student needs. Teachers are required to have data chats with studentsdesigned to provide the students opportunities to participate in their learning.
4. What did the data analysis reveal regarding classroom instruction?
The data revealed that teachers need to put more inference on incorporate clusters which the data reveals to bebelow proficient into their daily instruction. Also, teachers do not provide varied levels of activities, remediation,enrichment, etc. to accommodate student learning styles. Differentiated instruction will be one of the target areas forprofessional development building wide.

5. What did the data analysis reveal regarding professional development implemented in the previous year(s)?
The data revealed that teachers must incorporate clusters which the data reveals to be below proficient into their dailyinstruction. Also, teachers do not provide varied levels of activities, remediation, enrichment, etc. to accommodatestudent learning styles. Differentiated instruction will continue to be one of the target areas for professional
development building wide.6. How are educationally at-risk students identified in a timely manner?
The above described methods of data collection enable the district to identify at-risk students. In addition, practicetests, formatted similarly to state tests, were administered in early December. These results are analyzed by theOffice of Testing and Evaluation and sent back to us in a table graph format with cluster information. This helps tofurther identify and address weakness at the student level. The school counselor makes contact with the students andtheir parents. It is explained that they have been identified as a student who is in need. The counselor then explainswhat areas are in need of extra support and what services are available to them free of charge.
7. How are educationally at-risk students provided with effective assistance?
It is communicated to parents what services are offered for any student they feel may need extra assistance. Wehave systems in place for teachers to refer students who may be in need. The school counselor works closely with anystaff member and/or parent who refer any student.
8. How does the needs assessment address migrant student(s) needs?
Not Applicable
9. How does the needs assessment address homeless student(s) needs?

Teachers are engaged in decisions during their common planning periods. Based on the results of the assessments,decisions are made on what clusters the team should provide more focus on. The common planning periods tookplace weekly.
11. Describe the transition plan for preschool to kindergarten, if applicable.
As part of our transition plan our kindergarten teacher’s work with Master Teacher (Fantasy Ko) to learn Plan-Do-Review and proper room set up. Mrs. Santiago (kindergarten teacher) sits on the kindergarten contact group, whichoversees kindergarten transition. After rollover in August, we create class rosters and forward them to thekindergarten teachers. This provides teachers who come in early the opportunity to create a welcoming environmentfor our incoming kindergarten students. We send out welcome letters to parents letting them know who their child’steacher is, what room and the first day of school. We have kindergarten parent orientation on back to school night(beginning August 2010, we will conduct parent orientation in August).
12. Describe the process used to select the priority problems and root causes for this plan?

Results of 2011 NJASK results arenot available at this time.
An analysis was conducted to determine the
relative effectiveness of Reading Plus® in producing changes in Reading Comprehension
scores, as measured by Gates-MacGinitie
scores. Data from all fourth grade participants
was entered into repeated measures ANOVA
performed on the mean Gates-MacGinitie
Normal Curve Equivalent (NCE) scores for
treatment (n = 26) and control (n = 77) participants separately using the pre and post-
treatment scores. For this analysis, a main
effect of time appeared as f (1,101) = 39.594,
p < .001, but an additional interaction between
Time and Group also appeared, f (1,101) =
7.071, p = .009, indicating that the Reading
Plus® treatment group improved in readingsignificantly more than the control group on
the Gates-MacGinitie Test.

A new study by researchers at the University of California,Irvine, the University of Wisconsin-Madison and PolicyStudies Associates, Inc. finds that regular participation inhigh-quality afterschool programs is linked to significantgains in standardized test scores and work habits as wellas reductions in behavior problems among disadvantagedstudents. These gains help offset the negative impact of alack of supervision after school. The two-year studyfollowed almost 3,000 low-income, ethnically diverseelementary and middle school students from eight states insix major metropolitan centers and six smaller urban andrural locations. About half of the young people attendedhigh-quality afterschool programs at their schools or intheir communities.

2012 Parent Involvement (PI) Narrative
1. What is the connection between PI and the priority problems identified in the needs assessment?
Workshops provide parents with support to assist their children at home by introducing them toscientifically-researched best practices, testing formats, and social-emotional wellness. The support, inturn, connects homes with school in a partnership to collaboratively increase students’ academicperformance.
2. Do you have a school-parent compact? Yes
3. Describe the process to ensure that parents receive and review the school-parent compact.
Parents are presented the school-parent compact during back to school night. The compact is explained;the parents sign the compact, and take home a copy with them. This process is followed at every parentmeeting until all compacts have been signed. The school copy with both the principal and parents’signature is kept on file in the main office. We also have parent compacts available during parentconferences for parents who have not returned them yet.

District Support (completed by LEA for SINIs only)
1. Explain why the previous school and district plans did not bring about increased student academic achievement.
Lack of administrative and leadership consistency at the district and school level has led to plans and programming notbeing consistent for students and teachers. Budgetary concerns have forced limited utilization of some of the strategieslisted in table B to improve student performance.
2. Explain how the district is supporting the school in the following areas:
Providing professionaldevelopment that focusesprimarily on improving instruction
and using data to informinstruction
The Office of Assessment, Data Collection, and School Improvement in collaborationwith the Office of Professional Development will continue to provide trainings on theanalysis of multiple measures of data for its instructional implications and
Continuous Improvement Model (CIM), which is based upon an 8 step process thatrelies heavily on the use of data to drive decisions relative to teaching and learning.
The next phase of the training efforts for the Office of Assessment, Data Collection,and School Improvement is to increase teachers and staff literacy in assessments,more specifically expand knowledge of various ways to assess, the purpose of assessments, and what should be assessed. The Office of Professional Development will begin trainings in district for teachersand administrators of grades 3-12 in research-based best practices of Lucy CulkinsWriting Units of Study.
Implementing strategies groundedin scientifically based researchthat will strengthen instruction incore academic subjects
The district conducts focus walks to review programming, instructional planning andclassroom practices. The district also does not support the purchase or use of programs not grounded in research.
The strategies and practices promoted within the district are: Continuous Improvement Model (CIM) Writing –Units of Study (Lucy Culkins) Best Practices of Instructional Leaders and Teachers
Assessment for Learning – J. Chappius
