Action Plan Steps -
1. Campus Improvement Plan – review data and determine a need for the campus
Person(s) Responsible: Terre McKinney, Sue Post, Diane Zelezinski, Catherine Olano
Timeline: May/June 2010
Resources: TAKS data
Evaluation: Scores show that while 100% of our white and Hispanic students passed the 5th grade science TAKS test with 75% and 74% scoring commended respectively, only 86% of our African American population passed with 38% scoring commended. The difference for our economically disadvantaged population is 86% passed with 43% scoring commended.
2. Rice University/ ConcocPhillips science cohort - attend the year-long cohort for training on various methods of science instruction.
Person(s) Responsible: Catherine Olano
Timeline: Aug 2010 – May 2011, every Tuesday for the 2010-2011 academic year
Resources: Materials from Rice cohort, Car/gas for transportation, Substitute for class instruction for the day, Monies from campus funds to pay for substitute
Evaluation: Participation and implementation of methods in classroom instruction
3. Student Survey – survey the students three times during the year regarding their feelings about science instruction and their confidence in scientific inquiry and science concepts.
Person(s) Responsible: Catherine Olano
Timeline: Aug 2010, November 2010, April 2011
Resources: Paper for survey, Copy clicks to run survey, Spreadsheet to track responses from students
Evaluation: Student ratings in their opinion of science instruction, confidence, and scientific inquiry increasing as the year progresses.
4. District Benchmark Assessments – 5th grade students will take the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd administrations of the DBA
Person(s) Responsible: Catherine Olano, Kristin Bryan, Leia Unsworth

8. Professional Learning Committees – Each team will have a monthly meeting to share strategies learned and support science learning. An administrator will attend the meeting to offer support and advice.

Through your action plan, I can tell that you will be compiling data throughout the year and collaborating with your administrative and fifth grade team. This will allow everyone to be on top of the growth of all students and know their areas of weakness and strength. My one concern would be having a strong and consistent sub in your room while you are out each week.
