Data:

1. COMPREHENSIVE NEEDS ASSESSMENT; The Izard County Consolidated School District


formed ACSIP Leadership Teams and analyzed test scores from the 2014 administration of the
3-8th grade Augmented Benchmark and the K-9th grade ITBS and SAT 10 Exams. The teams
examined the results for both the combined population and each of the student subpopulations.
The team identified areas of weakness for each content area at each grade level. In addition, the
team reviewed attendance, disciplinary and achievement data over the past three years. Data was
disaggregated for the purpose of determining student learning and behavior needs. The team
looked at the trend provided by the Arkansas Data Center in order to better identify the areas of
need and help align classroom instruction with the curriculum frameworks and or Common Core
State Standards in both literacy and math. The building and district ACSIP committees examined
routines, customs, norms and expectations in order to identify factors that impede student
achievement. The supporting data statements show variances among cohorts within student
population. To address these variances and work towards closing the achievement gap among
student cohorts, the instructional staff targeted areas of the curriculum, instructional process,
assessment and professional development. Modifications will be implemented during the current
year to implement effective instructional programs, services and professional development that
will meet the needs of each student cohort. The four content areas will be targeted for increase in
student achievement during the 2014-2015 school year: literacy, math, science and social studies.
The building and district ACSIP Leadership Teams and committees will meet regularly to

1. COMPREHENSIVE NEEDS ASSESSMENT: The Izard County Consolidated School District
formed ACSIP Leadership Teams and analyzed test scores from the 2011 administration of the
3-8th grade Augmented Benchmark and the K-9th grade ITBS and SAT 10 Exams. The teams
examined the results for both the combined population and each of the student subpopulations.

Data:

The team identified areas of weakness for each content area at each grade level. In addition, the
team reviewed attendance, disciplinary and achievement data over the past three years. Data was
disaggregated for the purpose of determining student learning and behavior needs. The team
looked at the trend provided by NORMES in order to better identify the areas of need and help
align classroom instruction with the curriculum frameworks and or Common Core State
Standards in both literacy and math. The building and district ACSIP committees examined
routines, customs, norms and expectations in order to identify factors that impede student
achievement. The supporting data statements show variances among cohorts within student
population. To address these variances and work towards closing the achievement gap among
student cohorts, the instructional staff targeted areas of the curriculum, instructional process,
assessment and professional development. Modifications will be implemented during the current
year to implement effective instructional programs, services and professional development that
will meet the needs of each student cohort. The four content areas will be targeted for increase in
student achievement during the 2011-2012 school year: literacy, math, science and social studies.
The building and district ACSIP Leadership Teams and committees will meet regularly to
review formative and summative assessment data, as well as the effectiveness of professional
development offered to district staff in thontinued effort to improve student achievemnt and
instructor knowledge in each of the content areas of the curriculum.

Supplement the math and science


instruction by utilizing a 45 minute block,
students are scheduled into math and
science enrichment or intervention slots,
three days a week while students are
rotated into general music or band two
days a week. Employ Lee Melton (math
and science) (.13 FTE)(Salary: $4,199.00
Benefits: $1,225.00) and Sarah Taylor
(0.13 FTE) (Salary: $4,258.00 Benefits:

students go to music/band twice a week
during this slot...evenly each day. This
allows for lower student ratios so that the
remaining three days students aren't in
music or band receive math or science
interventions. These teachers are scheduled
with students each day of the week and
this is not a paid prep.
