Educators School Diagnostic

Introduction National data show that poor and minority students, English Language Learners and students with disabilities continue to be taught more
often than their peers by inexperienced, out-of-field or ineffective teachers. As a result, the United States Department of Education (USDE)
required states to develop equity plans and use evidence based strategies to address this issue. Kentucky’s plan is focused on teacher
preparation; recruitment, hiring and placement of teachers; providing supports for on-going, job-embedded professional learning; and
strategies to retain teacher and leaders.
All districts and schools in Kentucky are required to identify barriers and develop strategies to address these issues to achieving equitable
access to effective educators for students most at risk. This is being incorporated within the Comprehensive District and School Improvement
Plans. This diagnostic should be used as tool for identification of barriers and a catalyst for development of strategies that will result in novice
reduction for gap closure. Strategies will be incorporated into the Comprehensive School Improvement Plan.

Equitable Access to Effective Educators - School
Provide a brief analysis the school data from the chart. Include any trends, note-worthy data points or perceptions the data has
provided related to equitable access to effective educators. 87% of our staff has four or more years experience. All three administrators have more than four years of experience, too. Only 12% of our
staff have less than four years of experience. Two of those teachers are in elective classes, not core classes. 54.2 percent of the school are
free or reduced lunch with 17% being minority and 11 percent with an IEP. After the data analysis is complete, the school will then identify the barriers (challenges) for some of the identified trends. An
identified barrier, for example, could be higher teacher turnover in priority schools as compared with non-priority schools. Once
the barriers have been identified, then root causes of why the barriers exist will be included. We have not had a large teacher turn over the last few years. We have reduced staff due to lower enrollment. Our teachers work on teams
at grade level. We are worried that if the enrollment continues to fall, we be forced to abandon the middle school concept of teaming. Teams
are very important for our students so they don't fall though the cracks. Less students means less funding which makes it difficult to maintain
quality programs.

School Equity Goal
Comprehensive School Improvement PlanKenneth D. King Middle School
SY 2016-2017 Page 4© 2016 Advance Education, Inc. All rights reserved unless otherwise granted by written agreement.
Equitable access to effective educators must be reflected in the Comprehensive School Improvement Plan. Strategies could
include, but are not limited to, recruitment; hiring and placement of teachers and/or students; providing supports for on-going, job-
embedded professional learning to improve teacher and leader effectiveness; and strategies to retain teacher and leaders,
particularly in high needs schools. Once implemented, these should assist the school in meeting the goals set in the previous
section.
If there are strategies and activities within one of the five major goals of the CSIP, which adequately addresses equitable access,
the school may select the appropriate goal, objective, strategies and activities.
OR
The school may create a new goal to address equitable access to effective educators. Once a new goal has been created, the
school will need to include appropriate objectives, strategies and activities.
The school may choose to provide an optional narrative response to include any additional information, but this is not required.

Improvement Planning Process
Improvement Planning Process
Describe the process used to engage a variety of stakeholders in the development of the institution's improvement plan. Include
information on how stakeholders were selected and informed of their roles, and how meetings were scheduled to accommodate
them. The superintendent and district office staff work hand in hand with each school to engage stakeholders in our improvement plan. Community
members participate on our Local Planning Committee as well as district school improvement plan. Members are selected from a variety of
stakeholders and meetings are held at night to accommodate working family schedules. Describe the representations from stakeholder groups that participated in the development of the improvement plan and their
responsibilities in this process. Parents form our SBDM Council and PTO organization represent our parent groups. Staff does a needs assessment and those findings are
reviewed by members of Council and PTO. Suggestions from parent representatives are encouraged at all meetings. Explain how the final improvement plan was communicated to all stakeholders, and the method and frequency in which
stakeholders receive information on its progress. The final plan was approved by the SBDM Council and presented to the Board of Education in a joint meeting of the Council and BOE. Each
BOE meeting is video taped and posted on the district webpage for public viewing.

What does the data/information not tell you? We are trying to figure out why our low SES population and students with disabilities are struggling with meeting state standards in math and
reading. We have experienced teachers and leadership team. WE are trying to figure out how to engage parents in a more meaningful
conversation pertaining to parent involvement. The data does not tell us why we have a small percentage of parental involvement in our
school.

Introduction The process of Improvement Planning in Kentucky is used as the means of determining how schools and districts will plan to ensure that
students reach proficiency and beyond by 2015. The process focuses school and district improvement efforts on student needs by bringing
together all stakeholders to plan for improvement, by focusing planning efforts on priority needs and closing achievement gaps between
subgroups of students, by building upon school and district capacity for high quality planning, and by making connections between the funds
that flow into the district and the priority needs in schools.
Your school’s plans for improvement must be based on careful and honest analysis of data, address all content areas, and clearly address
gaps in student achievement.

Executive Summary
Comprehensive School Improvement PlanKenneth D. King Middle School
SY 2016-2017 Page 88© 2016 Advance Education, Inc. All rights reserved unless otherwise granted by written agreement.
Introduction Every school has its own story to tell. The context in which teaching and learning takes place influences the processes and procedures by
which the school makes decisions around curriculum, instruction, and assessment. The context also impacts the way a school stays faithful
to its vision. Many factors contribute to the overall narrative such as an identification of stakeholders, a description of stakeholder
engagement, the trends and issues affecting the school, and the kinds of programs and services that a school implements to support student
learning.
The purpose of the Executive Summary (ES) is to provide a school with an opportunity to describe in narrative form the strengths and
challenges it encounters. By doing so, the public and members of the school community will have a more complete picture of how the school
perceives itself and the process of self-reflection for continuous improvement. This summary is structured for the school to reflect on how it
provides teaching and learning on a day to day basis.

Description of the School
Describe the school's size, community/communities, location, and changes it has experienced in the last three years. Include
demographic information about the students, staff, and community at large. What unique features and challenges are associated
with the community/communities the school serves? King Middle School moved to our new location at 937 Moberly Road in June of 2014. The building use to be Mercer County Senior High.
KMS is the only middle school in the Mercer County District. Our school is a true middle school. Students have four core classes and two
elective classes. Our sixth grade wing houses both sixth grade teams while our 7th and 8th grade teams are dispersed in three a jointing
halls. The current student enrollment is 615 with nearly 50 highly qualified teachers, instructional assistants, administrators and support staff.
Over the last few years, enrollment has dropped from 750 students to our present enrollment. We are a Title I school with a minority
population around 10%. Currently we are labeled as a "Needs Improvement school" based on the 2016 K-Prep report.

School's Purpose
Provide the school's purpose statement and ancillary content such as mission, vision, values, and/or beliefs. Describe how the
school embodies its purpose through its program offerings and expectations for students. The King Middle School mission is to promote excellence in a positive academic, social, and extra-curricular environment emphasizing the
well being of every child in the areas of social, emotional, and cognitive growth. This is emphasized as we embrace the middle school
concept. Staff members are assigned to teaching teams at each grade level and department core content areas. This organizational plan
encourages staff to have input in all areas of King Middle School. Common planning among grade level and team teachers provides time to
study and evaluate educational opportunities and needs at all levels. Barriers to student learning are identified and goals are developed
through the School Improvement Plan. Staff members incorporate teaching strategies and materials into instruction which address student
learning styles and multiple intelligences.
King Middle School provides a diverse, challenging, and supportive academic curriculum to all students in grades 6 - 8. Our vision, "Laying
the Foundation for College and Career Readiness with 21st Century Learning in Progress" is reflected in our work with Advance KY and the
Kentucky Middle Grades Schools of Innovation. The implementation of Laying the Foundations, the Literacy Design Collaborative, the Math
Design Collaborative and Success for all Students are at the corner stone of the KMS curriculum and instructional practices.
Our work with the Kentucky Center for Instructional Discipline (KYCID) guides us as we provide our students with a safe learning
environment based on our belief that students should be: Motivated, Engaged, Respectful, Civil and Safe, Empathetic and Responsible
Comprehensive School Improvement PlanKenneth D. King Middle School
SY 2016-2017 Page 91© 2016 Advance Education, Inc. All rights reserved unless otherwise granted by written agreement.
Notable Achievements and Areas of Improvement
Describe the school's notable achievements and areas of improvement in the last three years. Additionally, describe areas for
improvement that the school is striving to achieve in the next three years. Due to our work with the Kentucky Middle Grades Schools of Innovations and Laying the Foundations, our writing scores as measured by
KPrep is above state average for the third year. Currently, we are working to improve our math scores which have been flat and below state
average. Our three program reviews indicate a Proficient Program in: writing, arts and humanities, and
practical living. We are currently struggling to incorporate world language into the curriculum. Our school teaches Spanish to one class of
eighth graders (30 students). Last year we began a middle school FFA chapter with a full time agriculture teacher.

Additional Information
Provide any additional information you would like to share with the public and community that were not prompted in the previous
sections. King Middle School is a safe and orderly school. The Kentucky Center for Safe Schools conducted a safety audit in 2016 which gave the
school high praise in many areas of school safety and a few areas to improve upon. We have taken those recommendations to heart and
have implemented changes and continue to monitor and improve our school in the area of school safety. . We upgraded our camera system
to better serve our administration team in combating bullying and harassment.
