SIP Action Plan Strategies / SIP Process Steps / Data Sources for Results Indicators1. Assure consistency of implementation of the National School Climate Standards established by the National School Climate Council. / o Develop Safe School Climate plan for O’Brien aligned with National School Climate Standards / Document Review:
· Safe School Climate Plan
2. Assure consistency of implementation of Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) using a Scientific Research-Based Intervention (SRBI) model. / o Identify and monitor school based PBIS systems including a pro-active disciplinary model, rewards for positive behavior and structures for early student intervention.
o Analyze PBIS Set to improve practices. / Document Review:
· Paw Pride Passports
Observable Practice:
· PBIS Set
3. Review of data to ensure continuous improvement. / o Use school behavioral and attendance data to develop action plans for improved student outcomes. / Document Review:
· School discipline breakdowns specifically related to ISS/OSS
· School discipline breakdowns based on numbers of occurrences/distinct students
· School discipline breakdowns based on type of incidents
Student Achievement Measure:
· The Unique Student Incident rate for the school will show a reduction in the number of students suspended (In School Suspensions/Out of School Suspensions) of 5% per year.
· The Unique Student Incident rate for the school in targeted subgroups (Black, Hispanic, and Special Education) will show a reduction in the number of students suspended (ISS/OSS) averaging 8.3% per year.
4. Define, improve and increase parent engagement. / o Administer and analyze Climate Survey for families, students and staff in all schools.
o Collect Positive Behavioral and Supports SET data and disseminate results to the entire school community.
o Identify strategies as indicated by analysis of Climate Survey.
o Implement changes as a result of SERC training in Early Intervention Planning (EIP) process to increase parent involvement / Document Review:
· School Climate Surveys
Student Achievement Measure:
· Survey data will show positive perceptions of students, parents and staff in selected focus areas on the school’s climate surveys of 90% or higher.
High Leverage Work:
· Robert J. O’Brien STEM Academy will bring the work of grade level and school data teams to a high level of proficiency.
SIP Action Plan Strategies: / SIP Process Steps / Data Sources for Results Indicators1.
