- During grades PreK- 4, young students are
learning to read. This is a - critical time in schooling in which students must
gain the skills - necessary to be good readers. The acquisition of
skills must be - combined with a process that instills a joy for
reading. The process of - learning to read must be tightly aligned PK-4 in
a highly engaging - manner. We must teach all students to read at
grade level by the end - of 4th grade.

- Social Studies is the core to citizenship and
becoming a productive and - contributing member of a democratic and free
society. Student - preparation for understanding and deep conceptual
knowledge in social - studies is critical to an individuals ability and
desire to exercise their - rights and participate in our local communities,
state, nation, and world. - While GPS technology may reduce the need of
students and - citizens to possess map reading skills, the need
of students to know and - understand geography and its impact on issues and
human - demographics is critical to citizenship.
13TECHNOLOGY
- In February, 2009 the Board of Education approved
a Short and - Long Range Plan for Educational Technology at
Interstate 35 - Community School District.
- The first of the short range goals calls for the
employment of a - fulltime Technology Director.
- The quality of hardware and software at
Interstate 35 needs to - be sustained and improved to match the
contemporary needs - and uses of our students.
- The elementary school needs to develop and
implement a - technology curriculum beginning with keyboarding.
- The elementary school needs to explore technology
software - that is proven to increase reading and math
skills. - The middle school needs to determine the
contemporary and - futuristic meaning of technical/digital literacy
and align the
14IOWA CORE CURRICULUM
- The Iowa Core Curriculum is a statewide
initiative with far ranging - implications for public schools. This is a state
mandate! - The Iowa Core Curriculum is about what we teach,
how we teach, and - the results of our teaching.
- The Iowa Core Curriculum is about teaching for
deeper - understanding and conceptual learning. This
requires focus on the - Iowa Core Curriculum Standards as well as the
21st Century Skills. - The Iowa Core Curriculum is about rigor and
relevance for all - students. It is about a different way of
teaching with the full - integration of technology.
- The Interstate 35 Community School has an Iowa
Core Curriculum - Committee that has been learning about the Iowa
Core Curriculum - during the 2008-2009 school year.
- The Interstate 35 High School must have an
implementation plan
15PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
- If the premise is true, and we believe it is so,
that student achievement - is directly linked to teacher quality, then we
must see professional - development as a continuous journey towards
quality improvement - that is worthy of our investment of time and
resources. - During negotiations in 2008-2009, the Board and
Teachers - Association agreed to add one professional
development day to the - school calendar as part of the negotiated
agreement. - Job embedded professional development is where
the components of - professional development and the components of
the job are seamless. - Therefore, as the staff member engages the
targets of professional - development, the staff member is actually
refining and improving - their ability to do the job. Under this model,
the improvement - process is an integral part of doing the job.
- Professional Development is planned and
implemented in collaboration with the School
Improvement Team. - There are nine (9) full days of professional
development in the 2009-2010 calendar. - Professional Development opportunities outside
the professional development day are available
through the teacher quality committee.
16Implementation of School ImprovementWorking
Philosophy
- We must work as a TEAM (s)
- The good of students and the school district must
come first - We must be Good Ambassadors
- We must raise the level of Dialogue-Involve the
Stakeholders - Move from Independent Action to Community It is
about US - We must be Student Achievement Driven
- Locate, Develop, Design learning conditions /
experiences that will help ALL students find hope
in the future. - It is all about our students
17SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT IS NOT A SPECTATOR
SPORTConditions
- Individual and Organizational Change is Necessary

- Leadership must spring forth from all levels
- Communications is the bedrock of improvement
- Change and Improvement must be Embedded
- It is about Building Capacity

STUDENTS SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT THE FUTURE
32IF NOT US? WHO?
- At what age is it reasonable for us to know that
our - students are old enough to know how very
important to - their future life will be the manner in which
they employ - their present time.
- It is okay to be smart. We must help students
feel smart. - Normal Human Brain (Dr. Ben Carson-
Neurosurgeon) - Processes 2,000,000 bits of information per
second - Remembers everything it has ever seen or heard
- We need to put appropriate and highly engaging
things before children - We live in the Technology Age -- We must PUSH
for - high standards and high performance in school
- employees and students!
- The Age of Mediocrity is NOT acceptable!
- Challenge - In order to hold students to high
standard
