EPAS Local Growth Models
A value-added approach for setting individual student growth targets and monitoring student progress
The Meaning of Growth
Identify which students are at risk of not making grade-level proficiency
ECRA promotes the use of Growth Percentiles. Growth percentiles express the difference between projected and actual achievement as a percentile. This enables schools and districts to:
Document whether each student’s growth was similar to, greater than, or less than typical growth
Set rigorous but attainable individual student growth targets.
Applications: Individual Student Growth Targets

Anti-Bullying Efforts
a review of district response
District 300
Problem of Bullying in Schools
• Perhaps more than any other school safety problem, bullying affects a students sense of security
• Bullying is widespread and perhaps the most underreported safety problem on school campuses
• Bullying is common at schools and occurs at all grade levels, although most frequently during elementary school. It occurs less often in middle school and high school, but still frequently. High school freshmen are particularly vulnerable
Problem of Bullying in Schools
• Once thought of as a rite of passage or relatively harmless behavior that helps build young peoples character…
• Bullying is now known to have long lasting harmful effects, for both the victim and the bully
• Bullying victims suffer psychological harm long after the bullying stops
• Research has shown , without intervention , bullies are much more likely to engage in future criminal behavior than their peers
Reluctance to Report
Reasons why victims do not report bullying:• fear retaliation• feeling shame at not being able to stand up for themselves• fear they would not be believed• not wanting to worry parents• having no confidence that anything would change• thinking their parents’ or teachers’ advice would make the
problem worse• fear their teacher would tell the bully who told on him/her• thinking it would be worse to be thought of as a snitch
Bullying or Normal Conflict?
• NOT all conflicts rise to bullying• Pushing, kicking or hitting is not in and of its-
self bullying behavior…• Single occurrences typically are not bullying• Bullying typically involves power seeking and
control over the targeted person. Usually involves repeated attacks and over a period of time.
Types of Bullying • Physical Aggression: harm to a person or persons property
– Pushing, shoving, hitting, kicking, ruining property, physically humiliating, locking in a closed space, inflicting bodily harm
• Social/Relational Aggression: harm to a person’s group acceptance– Gossip, embarrassing or purpose, spreading rumors, public humiliation,
manipulating situation to assure rejection
• Intimidation: harm to a person through pressure or fear– Extortion, threatening looks, threaten to reveal personal information, playing
dirty tricks
• Verbal Aggression: harm to person through hurtful verbal abuse– Mocking, name-calling, taunting, teasing
• Written Aggression: harm to a person through written words– Note passing, graffiti, writing hurtful things to others to see
The Effects of Cyber-bullying Cyber-bullying can seem more extreme to the victim than
being bullied in person because of several factors:
• It occurs in the child's home. Being bullied at home can take away the place the child feels most safe
• It can be harsher. Often kids say things online that they would not say in person, mainly because they can not see the other persons reaction
• It can be far reaching. Kids can send emails making fun of someone to their entire class or school with a few clicks, or post them on a website for the whole world to see.
• It can be anonymous. Cyber-bullies often hide behind screen names and email addresses that do not identify who they are. Not knowing who is responsible for bullying messages can add to a victims insecurity
Cyber-bullying can invade a child's social and emotional life with their friends & classmates. It can expose a secret or label them a social misfit for all to see.
Cyber-bullying & Parenting• Set up email and chat accounts with your children, know who their
“buddy” and “friend” lists are. Have the ability to view what is happing on their chat pages
• Discuss cyber-bulling with your child and ask them if they have ever experienced it or seen it happen to someone. Tell your child:
– if someone sends them a mean or threatening message, don’t respond. Save it, print it and show it to an adult
– Don’t put anything on line you don’t want their classmates to see, even in a personal email
– Never send a message to anyone they would not tell to them in person.– Delete and discourage bullying on line…don’t go along with the bully…stand up for the
victim Tell your child that you will NOT blame them if they are cyber-bullied.
Emphasize that you won’t take away their computer privileges – this is the main reason kids don’t tell adults when they are cyber-bullied
Is My Child Being BulliedMay be a victim of bullying if he or she:
comes home from school with torn or dirty clothing, or damaged books; has cuts, bruises or scratches; has few, if any, friends to play with; seems afraid to go to school, or complains of headaches or stomach
pains doesn’t sleep well or has bad dreams; loses interest in school work; drop in grades seems sad, depressed or moody; is quiet , sensitive or passive.
If your child shows several of these warning signs:TALK to ThemSchedule a conference with the school staff to discuss your concerns
D-300 Anti-Bullying Committee
• At the request of the Superintendent of Schools
• Directed by the Board of Education’s Disciplinary Committee
• A committee was assembled to review district response to bullying
Anti-Bullying Committee - Focus• Address personal interaction and cyber bullying
• Reporting methods and report process for bullying
• Problem assessment process – To determine how deep and wide the problem is? (individualized / classroom / grade /building level)
• Behavior intervention - How to stop the behavior and what to do with the aggressor ?
• Prevention piece: Curriculum based – education of teachers and students …determining if we currently have an educational piece in place that addresses bullying …or is there a need to create one to specifically address bullying behavior
Committee Membership Represents
• All levels of education– elementary / middle / high school
• Curriculum• P.B.I.S.• Psychologist • Social Workers• Special Ed• Safety• Technology• Transportation• Parents
Committee Progress• Created an Elementary, Middle and High School
template of intervention – Using a multi-step process of parent notification, discipline, intervention, police
involvement and follow-up with all parties involved– Including a written contract between the aggressor, parent and the school…detailing
prohibited behavior and consequences if the behavior continues– Anti-bullying pledges by the students and faculty the start of school and a parent
pledge if their child has been identified as displaying bullying behavior– Increased interventions and discipline to modify behavior
• Reporting– Developing a page on the district’s web site with anti-bulling links and interventions
to include the anti-bullying contracts and administrative process– Bully reporting form. Allowing on line reporting and anonymous reporting of bully
behavior – Behavior recording and tracking on Infinite Campus to flag continued behavior
teacher to teacher, grade to grade, school to school
