Academic Plan SY 2016-17

Ø  Reflect. Briefly summarize your school’s progress on implementing all six of the Department’s priority strategies/Other Complex-wide and/or School strategies, and meeting key performance targets set in the prior year Academic Plan.
Progress on implementing all DOE priority strategies was monitored twice a year during the 2015-16 school year through the Field Assessment. The overall ratings on the Field Assessment as of December 2015 were as follows, based on a four point rubric where 4 is the highest and 1 is the lowest:
·  Academic Review Team – 3
·  Common Core State Standards - 3
·  Comprehensive Student Support System-Response to Intervention – 2
·  Educator Effectiveness System– 3
·  Formative Assessment and Differentiated Instruction – 3
·  Induction and Mentoring – 3
·  STEM – 2
PHIS engages in progress monitoring to measure the implementation of targeted traits based on recommendations from our Comprehensive Needs Assessment and WASC Accreditation Focus on Learning Report. The mid-cycle review for our WASC accreditation showed we met five out of the seven recommendations, and no new recommendations were added. The two recommendations are about developing a long term technology plan and to address student attendance. In Spring 2017, we will be visited by WASC as part of full Self-Study. We are currently in the process of writing that Self-Study report.
Ø  Organize. Identify your Academic Review Team members, assign them specific strategies or activities to oversee, and set the cycle for the Academic Review Team to monitor implementation quality. Number of strategies/activities will vary across schools.

1. Ensure alignment of all courses to HCPS III or CCSS (as appropriate) both at the topic level and at the level of cognitive demand of the standards. (SW2, SW4)
·  All pacing guides will include elements 1-6 and will be updated for 2016-17 before school starts in July 2016 (Subs provided for teacher pull out)
·  All core pacing guides will be reviewed by the TIPS team/PHIS team for alignment at the topical and taxonomic levels to standards (CCSS or HSA). If guides do not align, teachers will be given support to make additional revisions.
·  All teachers will align their instruction to the revised pacing guides ensuring standards-based instruction for all students
·  Common assessments will be used to measure achievement of the benchmarks and assessment scoring will be calibrated to insure consistency (CFA Process)
·  Increase in classrooms determined to be “Standards-Based” by collecting classroom observation data on “the lesson is aligned topically and taxonomically to the pacing guide”
·  Teachers will increase student higher order thinking assignments / Academic Coaches / ☒ All Students
