I.P.I. KEY LEARNINGS

• Results
• The bulk of the instruction at the high school
  continues to be teacher-directed instruction
  (Level 4) at 59. This is far above the range
  for effective high schools.
• Active student engagement (Level 6) is at 9
  which is far below the range for effective high
  schools.
• The good news is that the levels of disengagement
  (Levels 1, 2, 3) are at or below the ranges for
  effective high schools.

PTHS is a GOOD High School
24
PTHS is NOT a GREAT High School, even though it
once was (a number of years ago).
25
The PTHS achievement trend is down
26
PTHS Reform

• The two most fundamental reforms for improvement
  
• Extensive meetings with teachers outlining
  actions needed to course correct
• Curricular priorities
• Instructional techniques
• More learning time to implement the
  instructional and curricular improvements

27
PTHS Reform

• Next falls PTHS schedule will include much more
  meeting time for teachers (40 minute PLC meetings
  each day). Added together, the new schedule
  provides 7,680 hours of professional
  development/meeting time.
• Next falls PTHS schedule increases learning time
  in English, Math, and Science by a Total of 51
  hours for each subject area (the equivalent of
  118 additional lessons). Added together, the new
  schedule provides the equivalent of 1.6
  additional years of instruction in each tested
  area (English, Math, Science) over a typical 4
  year academic career.

28
Next Steps

• How classes will change (though instruction
  and/or curricular priorities) will be decided
  this summer and throughout next year. However,
  the structural changes that the new schedule
  affords lays the foundation for the necessary
  changes.
