A Message From Dr Eugene TW Sanders CEO Cleveland Metropolitan School District

September 2009

Each school in the Cleveland Metropolitan School District annually measures a series of Performance Indicators which are directly linked to improvement in academic achievement This publication provides a public summary of these Performance Indicators for this school The Performance Indicators are

1) The 2008‐2009 School Year Report Card (shown on pages 3‐10) This report card is provided to all of Ohiorsquos public schools by the Ohio Department of Education This Report Card includes four academic performance indicators

i the number of state indicators earned by this school ii this schoolrsquos Performance Index score iii this schoolrsquos Adequate Yearly Progress rating and iv this schoolrsquos Value‐Added rating

This Report Card also includes two non‐academic performance indicators i this schoolrsquos attendance rate ii this schoolrsquos graduation rate (high schools only)

2) The 2009 Conditions For Learning Survey (shown on pages 11‐18) This report is produced annually by the American Institutes for Research for the Cleveland Metropolitan School District to collect the opinions of students in grades 5 through 12 about the Conditions For Learning in their school This Survey includes four performance indicators which collectively determine the Conditions For Learning in our schools These indicators are

i this schoolrsquos Safe and Respectful Climate rating ii this schoolrsquos Challenge rating iii this schoolrsquos Student Support rating and iv this schoolrsquos Social Emotional Learning rating

3) The Safety and Security Summary (shown on page 19) This report is produced annually by the CMSD Safety and Security Office to measure the serious safety incidences that occur in this school

Not Required ndash This indicator was not evaluated for this subgroup because the subgroup size was smaller than the minimum number needed to achieve a statisticallyreliable result 30 students is the minimum size for the proficiency and non-test indicators while 40 is the minimum size for the participation rate indicators

This subgroup met AYP for this indicator with its current year two-year combined Safe Harbor or growth measure results

This subgroup did not meet AYP for this indicator

For test indicators AYP can be met in one of four ways1) meeting the AYP targets with current year results2) meeting the AYP targets with two-year combined results3) meeting the improvement requirements of Safe Harbor4) meeting the AYP targets with projected results

For non-test indicators AYP can be met in one of three ways1) meeting the AYP targets with current year results2) meeting the AYP targets with two-year combined results3) making improvement over the previous year

1 If a school meets AYP in the current year it can berated no lower than Continuous Improvement

2 If a school does not meet AYP for three consecutiveyears and in the current year it does not meet AYP inmore than one student group it can be rated nohigher than Continuous Improvement

3 In all other cases AYP has no effect on thepreliminary designation

Once the preliminary designation is determined Value-Addedthe fourth measure in the accountability system is evaluatedto determine the impact (if any) on the schoolrsquos finaldesignation

1 If your schoolrsquos designation is restricted to ContinuousImprovement due to AYP Value-Added has no impacton the designation and the preliminary designationbecomes the final designation

2 If your school experiences above expected growth for atleast two consecutive years your schoolrsquos finaldesignation will increase by one designation

3 If your school experiences below expected growth for atleast three consecutive years your schoolrsquos finaldesignation will decrease by one designation

The preliminary designation results from identifying thehigher value between the percentage of indicators met byyour school and your schoolrsquos performance indexAYP then is evaluated to determine its effect on thepreliminary designation There are three ways in whichAYP can affect the preliminary designation

Determining your schoolrsquos report carddesignation is amulti-step process The first step is todetermine apreliminary designationwhich is basedon the following components 1) the percentage of indicatorsmet 2) the performance index and3)AYPdetermination

2009 Conditions for Learning Survey

2009 Conditions for Learning SurveyDear Students Parents and School Faculty

Enclosed are your schoolrsquos results from the second annual Conditions For Learning survey This survey is an important component of your schoolrsquos Academic Achievement Planning (AAP) because it helps you monitor your studentsrsquo opinions about the Humanware of your school including your schoolrsquos climate perceived levels of student support levels of challenge and perceptions about your studentsrsquo social and emotional learning skills

Research tells us that there is a strong relationship between these characteristics and academic achievement We know for example that schools with strong climate ratings tend also to demonstrate strong student achievement as measured by the Ohio Performance Index We also know that careful attention to students demonstrating non-academic risk behaviors such as absenteeism behavior problems and student mobility can help us effectively address factors like dropping out of high school

If CMSD is to become a premier school district in the United States of America we not only need to continue to improve the academic successes of our students but we also need to improve the conditions for learning in our schools and communities The data from this survey together with other information such as attendance disciplinary referrals and test score data are all components you can use to identify places where as a school community you can positively impact the conditions for learning in your school

A number of tools are available to assist you with your planning On the back page are a number of resources to consider and the AAP planning toolkit available to your school through SchoolNet provides additional support as well

Improvements in the conditions for learning in our schools will lead to improvements in achievement for our students families teachers and administrators And ongoing improvements in achievement are the evidence that we are indeed on the path to becoming a premier school district in the United States of America

Sincerely

Eugene TW Sanders PhD Chief Executive Offi cer Cleveland Metropolitan School District

What is in this report

Response Rates by Grade

Percentage of students whose responses indicate that your school is performing adequately or better

Alexander Graham Bell SchoolResponse Rate 84

Pages 2-5 of this report present your schoolrsquos results on the fourscales of the Conditions for Learning Survey and compare thoseresults with the district average

Results are shown as the percentage of students whose responsesfall into the excellent adequate and needs-improvement categoriesResults are also shown for subgroups of students

Pages 6 and 7 of this reportpresent results for individualsurvey questions these resultsshould be interpreted withcaution because individual itemsare not as trustworthy as scalescores

As you work with your schoolcommunity to make plans for school improvement remember to focus on all students even if themajority of students rated your school positively

What role can principals and school teams play

When principals work together with staff students and parents onthe conditions for learning in a school powerful instructionalcommunities are built Principals can personally model the process ofusing data to make decisions about how to improve schoolwide andclassroom practices

The Safe and Respectful Climate scale measures two

things how physically safe students feel and how

emotionally safe students feel Students who attend

safe schools are more likely to be academically

engaged and are less likely to exhibit problem

behaviors such as drug use or violence Students are

less likely to drop out of safe schools Schools must

provide a safe and secure environment for all

students

EXCELLENT 21 of students report that the level of

safety is excellent

ADEQUATE 48 of students report that the level of

safety is adequate

NEEDS IMPROVEMENT 31 of students report that

they do not feel safe

A Message From Dr Eugene TW Sanders CEO Cleveland Metropolitan School District

September 2009

Each school in the Cleveland Metropolitan School District annually measures a series of Performance Indicators which are directly linked to improvement in academic achievement This publication provides a public summary of these Performance Indicators for this school The Performance Indicators are

1) The 2008‐2009 School Year Report Card (shown on pages 3‐10) This report card is provided to all of Ohiorsquos public schools by the Ohio Department of Education This Report Card includes four academic performance indicators

i the number of state indicators earned by this school ii this schoolrsquos Performance Index score iii this schoolrsquos Adequate Yearly Progress rating and iv this schoolrsquos Value‐Added rating

This Report Card also includes two non‐academic performance indicators i this schoolrsquos attendance rate ii this schoolrsquos graduation rate (high schools only)

2) The 2009 Conditions For Learning Survey (shown on pages 11‐18) This report is produced annually by the American Institutes for Research for the Cleveland Metropolitan School District to collect the opinions of students in grades 5 through 12 about the Conditions For Learning in their school This Survey includes four performance indicators which collectively determine the Conditions For Learning in our schools These indicators are

i this schoolrsquos Safe and Respectful Climate rating ii this schoolrsquos Challenge rating iii this schoolrsquos Student Support rating and iv this schoolrsquos Social Emotional Learning rating

3) The Safety and Security Summary (shown on page 19) This report is produced annually by the CMSD Safety and Security Office to measure the serious safety incidences that occur in this school

Collectively the information summarized in this publication is used by school leadership teams to develop Academic Achievement Plans for school improvement This schoolrsquos Academic Achievement Plan is posted as a separate publication on the schoolrsquos webpage (To find a particular schoolrsquos Academic Achievement Plan visit httpwwwcmsdnetnetSchoolsSchoolListaspx)

You are encouraged to review the information in this publication to learn more about this school Feel free to contact this school to learn more or to ask questions about these Performance Indicators

This subgroup met AYP for this indicator with its current year two-year combined Safe Harbor or growth measure results

This subgroup did not meet AYP for this indicator

For test indicators AYP can be met in one of four ways1) meeting the AYP targets with current year results2) meeting the AYP targets with two-year combined results3) meeting the improvement requirements of Safe Harbor4) meeting the AYP targets with projected results

For non-test indicators AYP can be met in one of three ways1) meeting the AYP targets with current year results2) meeting the AYP targets with two-year combined results3) making improvement over the previous year

1 If a school meets AYP in the current year it can berated no lower than Continuous Improvement

2 If a school does not meet AYP for three consecutiveyears and in the current year it does not meet AYP inmore than one student group it can be rated nohigher than Continuous Improvement

3 In all other cases AYP has no effect on thepreliminary designation

Once the preliminary designation is determined Value-Addedthe fourth measure in the accountability system is evaluatedto determine the impact (if any) on the schoolrsquos finaldesignation

1 If your schoolrsquos designation is restricted to ContinuousImprovement due to AYP Value-Added has no impacton the designation and the preliminary designationbecomes the final designation

2 If your school experiences above expected growth for atleast two consecutive years your schoolrsquos finaldesignation will increase by one designation

3 If your school experiences below expected growth for atleast three consecutive years your schoolrsquos finaldesignation will decrease by one designation

The preliminary designation results from identifying thehigher value between the percentage of indicators met byyour school and your schoolrsquos performance indexAYP then is evaluated to determine its effect on thepreliminary designation There are three ways in whichAYP can affect the preliminary designation

Determining your schoolrsquos report carddesignation is amulti-step process The first step is todetermine apreliminary designationwhich is basedon the following components 1) the percentage of indicatorsmet 2) the performance index and3)AYPdetermination

2009 Conditions for Learning Survey

2009 Conditions for Learning SurveyDear Students Parents and School Faculty

Enclosed are your schoolrsquos results from the second annual Conditions For Learning survey This survey is an important component of your schoolrsquos Academic Achievement Planning (AAP) because it helps you monitor your studentsrsquo opinions about the Humanware of your school including your schoolrsquos climate perceived levels of student support levels of challenge and perceptions about your studentsrsquo social and emotional learning skills

Research tells us that there is a strong relationship between these characteristics and academic achievement We know for example that schools with strong climate ratings tend also to demonstrate strong student achievement as measured by the Ohio Performance Index We also know that careful attention to students demonstrating non-academic risk behaviors such as absenteeism behavior problems and student mobility can help us effectively address factors like dropping out of high school

If CMSD is to become a premier school district in the United States of America we not only need to continue to improve the academic successes of our students but we also need to improve the conditions for learning in our schools and communities The data from this survey together with other information such as attendance disciplinary referrals and test score data are all components you can use to identify places where as a school community you can positively impact the conditions for learning in your school

A number of tools are available to assist you with your planning On the back page are a number of resources to consider and the AAP planning toolkit available to your school through SchoolNet provides additional support as well

Improvements in the conditions for learning in our schools will lead to improvements in achievement for our students families teachers and administrators And ongoing improvements in achievement are the evidence that we are indeed on the path to becoming a premier school district in the United States of America

Sincerely

Eugene TW Sanders PhD Chief Executive Offi cer Cleveland Metropolitan School District

What is in this report

Response Rates by Grade

Percentage of students whose responses indicate that your school is performing adequately or better

Alexander Graham Bell SchoolResponse Rate 84

Pages 2-5 of this report present your schoolrsquos results on the fourscales of the Conditions for Learning Survey and compare thoseresults with the district average

Results are shown as the percentage of students whose responsesfall into the excellent adequate and needs-improvement categoriesResults are also shown for subgroups of students

Pages 6 and 7 of this reportpresent results for individualsurvey questions these resultsshould be interpreted withcaution because individual itemsare not as trustworthy as scalescores

As you work with your schoolcommunity to make plans for school improvement remember to focus on all students even if themajority of students rated your school positively

What role can principals and school teams play

The Safe and Respectful Climate scale measures two

things how physically safe students feel and how

emotionally safe students feel Students who attend

safe schools are more likely to be academically

engaged and are less likely to exhibit problem

behaviors such as drug use or violence Students are

less likely to drop out of safe schools Schools must

provide a safe and secure environment for all

students

This subgroup did not meet AYP for this indicator

For test indicators AYP can be met in one of four ways1) meeting the AYP targets with current year results2) meeting the AYP targets with two-year combined results3) meeting the improvement requirements of Safe Harbor4) meeting the AYP targets with projected results

For non-test indicators AYP can be met in one of three ways1) meeting the AYP targets with current year results2) meeting the AYP targets with two-year combined results3) making improvement over the previous year

1 If a school meets AYP in the current year it can berated no lower than Continuous Improvement

2 If a school does not meet AYP for three consecutiveyears and in the current year it does not meet AYP inmore than one student group it can be rated nohigher than Continuous Improvement

3 In all other cases AYP has no effect on thepreliminary designation

Once the preliminary designation is determined Value-Addedthe fourth measure in the accountability system is evaluatedto determine the impact (if any) on the schoolrsquos finaldesignation

1 If your schoolrsquos designation is restricted to ContinuousImprovement due to AYP Value-Added has no impacton the designation and the preliminary designationbecomes the final designation

2 If your school experiences above expected growth for atleast two consecutive years your schoolrsquos finaldesignation will increase by one designation

3 If your school experiences below expected growth for atleast three consecutive years your schoolrsquos finaldesignation will decrease by one designation

The preliminary designation results from identifying thehigher value between the percentage of indicators met byyour school and your schoolrsquos performance indexAYP then is evaluated to determine its effect on thepreliminary designation There are three ways in whichAYP can affect the preliminary designation

Determining your schoolrsquos report carddesignation is amulti-step process The first step is todetermine apreliminary designationwhich is basedon the following components 1) the percentage of indicatorsmet 2) the performance index and3)AYPdetermination

2009 Conditions for Learning Survey

2009 Conditions for Learning SurveyDear Students Parents and School Faculty

Enclosed are your schoolrsquos results from the second annual Conditions For Learning survey This survey is an important component of your schoolrsquos Academic Achievement Planning (AAP) because it helps you monitor your studentsrsquo opinions about the Humanware of your school including your schoolrsquos climate perceived levels of student support levels of challenge and perceptions about your studentsrsquo social and emotional learning skills

Research tells us that there is a strong relationship between these characteristics and academic achievement We know for example that schools with strong climate ratings tend also to demonstrate strong student achievement as measured by the Ohio Performance Index We also know that careful attention to students demonstrating non-academic risk behaviors such as absenteeism behavior problems and student mobility can help us effectively address factors like dropping out of high school

If CMSD is to become a premier school district in the United States of America we not only need to continue to improve the academic successes of our students but we also need to improve the conditions for learning in our schools and communities The data from this survey together with other information such as attendance disciplinary referrals and test score data are all components you can use to identify places where as a school community you can positively impact the conditions for learning in your school

A number of tools are available to assist you with your planning On the back page are a number of resources to consider and the AAP planning toolkit available to your school through SchoolNet provides additional support as well

Improvements in the conditions for learning in our schools will lead to improvements in achievement for our students families teachers and administrators And ongoing improvements in achievement are the evidence that we are indeed on the path to becoming a premier school district in the United States of America

Sincerely

Eugene TW Sanders PhD Chief Executive Offi cer Cleveland Metropolitan School District

What is in this report

Response Rates by Grade

Percentage of students whose responses indicate that your school is performing adequately or better

Alexander Graham Bell SchoolResponse Rate 84

Pages 2-5 of this report present your schoolrsquos results on the fourscales of the Conditions for Learning Survey and compare thoseresults with the district average

Results are shown as the percentage of students whose responsesfall into the excellent adequate and needs-improvement categoriesResults are also shown for subgroups of students

Pages 6 and 7 of this reportpresent results for individualsurvey questions these resultsshould be interpreted withcaution because individual itemsare not as trustworthy as scalescores

As you work with your schoolcommunity to make plans for school improvement remember to focus on all students even if themajority of students rated your school positively

What role can principals and school teams play

When principals work together with staff students and parents onthe conditions for learning in a school powerful instructionalcommunities are built Principals can personally model the process ofusing data to make decisions about how to improve schoolwide andclassroom practices

The Safe and Respectful Climate scale measures two

things how physically safe students feel and how

emotionally safe students feel Students who attend

safe schools are more likely to be academically

engaged and are less likely to exhibit problem

behaviors such as drug use or violence Students are

less likely to drop out of safe schools Schools must

provide a safe and secure environment for all

students

The Measures of a Rigorous Curriculum are intended toreport on the completion of a rigorous curriculum and otherindicators of student success that ensure students leaveschool with the knowledge and skills needed to succeed incollege careers and citizenship These indicators pertain toschools that have any combination of grades 10 11and 12

The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP)often referred to as ldquoThe Nationrsquos Report Cardrdquo is the only nationally representative and continuing

subject areas Schools and students within each state are selected randomly to be a part of theassessment Not all students in the state or in a particular school take the assessment

and there are no individual student or even schoolsummary results The assessments are conducted in mathematics reading science writingthe arts civics economics geography and US history

1 If a school meets AYP in the current year it can berated no lower than Continuous Improvement

2 If a school does not meet AYP for three consecutiveyears and in the current year it does not meet AYP inmore than one student group it can be rated nohigher than Continuous Improvement

3 In all other cases AYP has no effect on thepreliminary designation

Once the preliminary designation is determined Value-Addedthe fourth measure in the accountability system is evaluatedto determine the impact (if any) on the schoolrsquos finaldesignation

1 If your schoolrsquos designation is restricted to ContinuousImprovement due to AYP Value-Added has no impacton the designation and the preliminary designationbecomes the final designation

2 If your school experiences above expected growth for atleast two consecutive years your schoolrsquos finaldesignation will increase by one designation

3 If your school experiences below expected growth for atleast three consecutive years your schoolrsquos finaldesignation will decrease by one designation

The preliminary designation results from identifying thehigher value between the percentage of indicators met byyour school and your schoolrsquos performance indexAYP then is evaluated to determine its effect on thepreliminary designation There are three ways in whichAYP can affect the preliminary designation

Determining your schoolrsquos report carddesignation is amulti-step process The first step is todetermine apreliminary designationwhich is basedon the following components 1) the percentage of indicatorsmet 2) the performance index and3)AYPdetermination

2009 Conditions for Learning Survey

2009 Conditions for Learning SurveyDear Students Parents and School Faculty

Enclosed are your schoolrsquos results from the second annual Conditions For Learning survey This survey is an important component of your schoolrsquos Academic Achievement Planning (AAP) because it helps you monitor your studentsrsquo opinions about the Humanware of your school including your schoolrsquos climate perceived levels of student support levels of challenge and perceptions about your studentsrsquo social and emotional learning skills

Research tells us that there is a strong relationship between these characteristics and academic achievement We know for example that schools with strong climate ratings tend also to demonstrate strong student achievement as measured by the Ohio Performance Index We also know that careful attention to students demonstrating non-academic risk behaviors such as absenteeism behavior problems and student mobility can help us effectively address factors like dropping out of high school

If CMSD is to become a premier school district in the United States of America we not only need to continue to improve the academic successes of our students but we also need to improve the conditions for learning in our schools and communities The data from this survey together with other information such as attendance disciplinary referrals and test score data are all components you can use to identify places where as a school community you can positively impact the conditions for learning in your school

A number of tools are available to assist you with your planning On the back page are a number of resources to consider and the AAP planning toolkit available to your school through SchoolNet provides additional support as well

Improvements in the conditions for learning in our schools will lead to improvements in achievement for our students families teachers and administrators And ongoing improvements in achievement are the evidence that we are indeed on the path to becoming a premier school district in the United States of America

Sincerely

Eugene TW Sanders PhD Chief Executive Offi cer Cleveland Metropolitan School District

What is in this report

Response Rates by Grade

Percentage of students whose responses indicate that your school is performing adequately or better

Alexander Graham Bell SchoolResponse Rate 84

Pages 2-5 of this report present your schoolrsquos results on the fourscales of the Conditions for Learning Survey and compare thoseresults with the district average

Results are shown as the percentage of students whose responsesfall into the excellent adequate and needs-improvement categoriesResults are also shown for subgroups of students

Pages 6 and 7 of this reportpresent results for individualsurvey questions these resultsshould be interpreted withcaution because individual itemsare not as trustworthy as scalescores

As you work with your schoolcommunity to make plans for school improvement remember to focus on all students even if themajority of students rated your school positively

What role can principals and school teams play

When principals work together with staff students and parents onthe conditions for learning in a school powerful instructionalcommunities are built Principals can personally model the process ofusing data to make decisions about how to improve schoolwide andclassroom practices

The Measures of a Rigorous Curriculum are intended toreport on the completion of a rigorous curriculum and otherindicators of student success that ensure students leaveschool with the knowledge and skills needed to succeed incollege careers and citizenship These indicators pertain toschools that have any combination of grades 10 11and 12

The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP)often referred to as ldquoThe Nationrsquos Report Cardrdquo is the only nationally representative and continuing

subject areas Schools and students within each state are selected randomly to be a part of theassessment Not all students in the state or in a particular school take the assessment

and there are no individual student or even schoolsummary results The assessments are conducted in mathematics reading science writingthe arts civics economics geography and US history

1 If a school meets AYP in the current year it can berated no lower than Continuous Improvement

2 If a school does not meet AYP for three consecutiveyears and in the current year it does not meet AYP inmore than one student group it can be rated nohigher than Continuous Improvement

3 In all other cases AYP has no effect on thepreliminary designation

Once the preliminary designation is determined Value-Addedthe fourth measure in the accountability system is evaluatedto determine the impact (if any) on the schoolrsquos finaldesignation

1 If your schoolrsquos designation is restricted to ContinuousImprovement due to AYP Value-Added has no impacton the designation and the preliminary designationbecomes the final designation

2 If your school experiences above expected growth for atleast two consecutive years your schoolrsquos finaldesignation will increase by one designation

3 If your school experiences below expected growth for atleast three consecutive years your schoolrsquos finaldesignation will decrease by one designation

The preliminary designation results from identifying thehigher value between the percentage of indicators met byyour school and your schoolrsquos performance indexAYP then is evaluated to determine its effect on thepreliminary designation There are three ways in whichAYP can affect the preliminary designation

Determining your schoolrsquos report carddesignation is amulti-step process The first step is todetermine apreliminary designationwhich is basedon the following components 1) the percentage of indicatorsmet 2) the performance index and3)AYPdetermination

2009 Conditions for Learning Survey

2009 Conditions for Learning SurveyDear Students Parents and School Faculty

Enclosed are your schoolrsquos results from the second annual Conditions For Learning survey This survey is an important component of your schoolrsquos Academic Achievement Planning (AAP) because it helps you monitor your studentsrsquo opinions about the Humanware of your school including your schoolrsquos climate perceived levels of student support levels of challenge and perceptions about your studentsrsquo social and emotional learning skills

Research tells us that there is a strong relationship between these characteristics and academic achievement We know for example that schools with strong climate ratings tend also to demonstrate strong student achievement as measured by the Ohio Performance Index We also know that careful attention to students demonstrating non-academic risk behaviors such as absenteeism behavior problems and student mobility can help us effectively address factors like dropping out of high school

If CMSD is to become a premier school district in the United States of America we not only need to continue to improve the academic successes of our students but we also need to improve the conditions for learning in our schools and communities The data from this survey together with other information such as attendance disciplinary referrals and test score data are all components you can use to identify places where as a school community you can positively impact the conditions for learning in your school

A number of tools are available to assist you with your planning On the back page are a number of resources to consider and the AAP planning toolkit available to your school through SchoolNet provides additional support as well

Improvements in the conditions for learning in our schools will lead to improvements in achievement for our students families teachers and administrators And ongoing improvements in achievement are the evidence that we are indeed on the path to becoming a premier school district in the United States of America

Sincerely

Eugene TW Sanders PhD Chief Executive Offi cer Cleveland Metropolitan School District

What is in this report

Response Rates by Grade

Percentage of students whose responses indicate that your school is performing adequately or better

Alexander Graham Bell SchoolResponse Rate 84

Pages 2-5 of this report present your schoolrsquos results on the fourscales of the Conditions for Learning Survey and compare thoseresults with the district average

Results are shown as the percentage of students whose responsesfall into the excellent adequate and needs-improvement categoriesResults are also shown for subgroups of students

Pages 6 and 7 of this reportpresent results for individualsurvey questions these resultsshould be interpreted withcaution because individual itemsare not as trustworthy as scalescores

As you work with your schoolcommunity to make plans for school improvement remember to focus on all students even if themajority of students rated your school positively

What role can principals and school teams play

When principals work together with staff students and parents onthe conditions for learning in a school powerful instructionalcommunities are built Principals can personally model the process ofusing data to make decisions about how to improve schoolwide andclassroom practices

The Safe and Respectful Climate scale measures two

things how physically safe students feel and how

emotionally safe students feel Students who attend

safe schools are more likely to be academically

engaged and are less likely to exhibit problem

behaviors such as drug use or violence Students are

less likely to drop out of safe schools Schools must

provide a safe and secure environment for all

students

This subgroup met AYP for this indicator with its current year two-year combined Safe Harbor or growth measure results

This subgroup did not meet AYP for this indicator

For test indicators AYP can be met in one of four ways1) meeting the AYP targets with current year results2) meeting the AYP targets with two-year combined results3) meeting the improvement requirements of Safe Harbor4) meeting the AYP targets with projected results

For non-test indicators AYP can be met in one of three ways1) meeting the AYP targets with current year results2) meeting the AYP targets with two-year combined results3) making improvement over the previous year

Enclosed are your schoolrsquos results from the second annual Conditions For Learning survey This survey is an important component of your schoolrsquos Academic Achievement Planning (AAP) because it helps you monitor your studentsrsquo opinions about the Humanware of your school including your schoolrsquos climate perceived levels of student support levels of challenge and perceptions about your studentsrsquo social and emotional learning skills

Research tells us that there is a strong relationship between these characteristics and academic achievement We know for example that schools with strong climate ratings tend also to demonstrate strong student achievement as measured by the Ohio Performance Index We also know that careful attention to students demonstrating non-academic risk behaviors such as absenteeism behavior problems and student mobility can help us effectively address factors like dropping out of high school

If CMSD is to become a premier school district in the United States of America we not only need to continue to improve the academic successes of our students but we also need to improve the conditions for learning in our schools and communities The data from this survey together with other information such as attendance disciplinary referrals and test score data are all components you can use to identify places where as a school community you can positively impact the conditions for learning in your school

A number of tools are available to assist you with your planning On the back page are a number of resources to consider and the AAP planning toolkit available to your school through SchoolNet provides additional support as well

Improvements in the conditions for learning in our schools will lead to improvements in achievement for our students families teachers and administrators And ongoing improvements in achievement are the evidence that we are indeed on the path to becoming a premier school district in the United States of America

Sincerely

Eugene TW Sanders PhD Chief Executive Offi cer Cleveland Metropolitan School District

2 If a school does not meet AYP for three consecutiveyears and in the current year it does not meet AYP inmore than one student group it can be rated nohigher than Continuous Improvement

3 In all other cases AYP has no effect on thepreliminary designation

Once the preliminary designation is determined Value-Addedthe fourth measure in the accountability system is evaluatedto determine the impact (if any) on the schoolrsquos finaldesignation

1 If your schoolrsquos designation is restricted to ContinuousImprovement due to AYP Value-Added has no impacton the designation and the preliminary designationbecomes the final designation

2 If your school experiences above expected growth for atleast two consecutive years your schoolrsquos finaldesignation will increase by one designation

3 If your school experiences below expected growth for atleast three consecutive years your schoolrsquos finaldesignation will decrease by one designation

The preliminary designation results from identifying thehigher value between the percentage of indicators met byyour school and your schoolrsquos performance indexAYP then is evaluated to determine its effect on thepreliminary designation There are three ways in whichAYP can affect the preliminary designation

2009 Conditions for Learning Survey

2009 Conditions for Learning SurveyDear Students Parents and School Faculty

Enclosed are your schoolrsquos results from the second annual Conditions For Learning survey This survey is an important component of your schoolrsquos Academic Achievement Planning (AAP) because it helps you monitor your studentsrsquo opinions about the Humanware of your school including your schoolrsquos climate perceived levels of student support levels of challenge and perceptions about your studentsrsquo social and emotional learning skills

Research tells us that there is a strong relationship between these characteristics and academic achievement We know for example that schools with strong climate ratings tend also to demonstrate strong student achievement as measured by the Ohio Performance Index We also know that careful attention to students demonstrating non-academic risk behaviors such as absenteeism behavior problems and student mobility can help us effectively address factors like dropping out of high school

If CMSD is to become a premier school district in the United States of America we not only need to continue to improve the academic successes of our students but we also need to improve the conditions for learning in our schools and communities The data from this survey together with other information such as attendance disciplinary referrals and test score data are all components you can use to identify places where as a school community you can positively impact the conditions for learning in your school

A number of tools are available to assist you with your planning On the back page are a number of resources to consider and the AAP planning toolkit available to your school through SchoolNet provides additional support as well

Improvements in the conditions for learning in our schools will lead to improvements in achievement for our students families teachers and administrators And ongoing improvements in achievement are the evidence that we are indeed on the path to becoming a premier school district in the United States of America

Sincerely

Eugene TW Sanders PhD Chief Executive Offi cer Cleveland Metropolitan School District
