Introduction
The process of Improvement Planning in Kentucky is used as the means of determining how schools and districts will plan to
ensure that students reach proficiency and beyond by 2014. The process focuses school and district improvement efforts on
student needs by bringing together all stakeholders to plan for improvement, by focusing planning efforts on priority needs and
closing achievement gaps between subgroups of students, by building upon school and district capacity for high quality
planning, and by making connections between the funds that flow into the district and the priority needs in schools.
Your school's plans for improvement must be based on careful and honest analysis of data, address all content areas, and
clearly address gaps in student achievement.

Executive Summary

SY 2013-2014 Page 2© 2013 AdvancED www.advanc-ed.org
Introduction Every school has its own story to tell. The context in which teaching and learning takes place influences the processes and procedures by
which the school makes decisions around curriculum, instruction, and assessment. The context also impacts the way a school stays faithful
to its vision. Many factors contribute to the overall narrative such as an identification of stakeholders, a description of stakeholder
engagement, the trends and issues affecting the school, and the kinds of programs and services that a school implements to support student
learning. <br><br> The purpose of the Executive Summary (ES) is to provide a school with an opportunity to describe in narrative form the
strengths and challenges it encounters. By doing so, the public and members of the school community will have a more complete picture of
how the school perceives itself and the process of self-reflection for continuous improvement. This summary is structured for the school to
reflect on how it provides teaching and learning on a day to day basis.

Data Analysis
What question(s) are you trying to answer with the data and information provided to you? What does the data/information tell you?
What does the data/information not tell you? Questions we are trying to answer with the data and information provided to us:
What are our GAPS?
How can we close our GAPS?
What are our strengths?
What are our weaknesses?
What connections are there in our areas of strengths?
What connections are there in our areas of weaknesses?
What should be our Next Steps?
How can we prepare our students to be Next Generation Learners?
The data tells us that we are below the state in most areas and that instruction must become more focused and rigorous. It also tells us that
some of our current teaching strategies are not working. It further points to the students who need intervention and enrichment.
The data does not tell us how to go about addressing the individual needs of students through differentiated instruction.
The data does not offer instructional strategies to target specific needs.

completion, cooperation); establish clear classroom behavior expectations with logical and fair responses to misbehavior; motivate students
to put forth their best efforts (perseverance, pride in work); and reduce misbehavior (disruptions, disrespect, non-compliance). Teachers
should be able to spend less time disciplining students and more time teaching them!
Engaging Your Students with KET Resources in Your Classroom*

The Science of Exercise and its Effect on Learning*
Presenter: Paul Zientarski, Nationally Recognized Consultant
Location: CCMS Room 103
Compelling research has shown that exercise builds new brain cells. Fit students have been found to be more academically alert following
bouts in intense cardiovascular workouts. Using this research, Naperville Central High School created a program called Learning Readiness
PE. The program includes pairing of Physical Education classes that incorporate cardiovascular exercise, core strength training, and cross-
lateral movements with Math and Literacy classes. The academic classes utilize "Brain Breaks" to enhance and improve achievement. This
program was written about in the book Spark by Dr. John Ratey and has been featured on numerous television shows such as "Need to
Know" on PBS, ABC's "World News," "The Early Show," and "Good Morning America." Come learn what the buzz is all about.
Using Extended Response in the Classroom

Comprehensive School Improvement PlanClinton County Middle School
SY 2013-2014 Page 89© 2013 AdvancED www.advanc-ed.org
Introduction In response to recent tragic events in our nation’s schools, during the 2013 legislative session the Kentucky General Assembly took action,
through the passage of Senate Bill 8/House Bill 354, to assure that our schools are safer places for students and staff to work and learn.
Among other things, SB8/HB354 required changes to emergency plan requirements, the development of school safety practices, and
additional severe weather, lockdown and earthquake drills. The bill also required local school district superintendents to verify to the
Kentucky Department of Education that all schools in the district are in compliance with these requirements. This diagnostic is the means by
which this reporting is accomplished.

SY 2013-2014 Page 93© 2013 AdvancED www.advanc-ed.org
Introduction The process of Improvement Planning in Kentucky is used as the means of determining how schools and districts will plan to ensure that
students reach proficiency and beyond by 2014. The process focuses school and district improvement efforts on student needs by bringing
together all stakeholders to plan for improvement, by focusing planning efforts on priority needs and closing achievement gaps between
subgroups of students, by building upon school and district capacity for high quality planning, and by making connections between the funds
that flow into the district and the priority needs in schools.
Your school’s plans for improvement must be based on careful and honest analysis of data, address all content areas, and clearly address
gaps in student achievement.
