Action Step(s) Person(s)
Responsible Timeline:
Start/End Needed Resources Evaluation
1. Create list of discipline referrals from 09/10 school year. I will create a list of student who received referral from last school year. I will record the number of referrals for each student, which teacher referred them, and then record the students’ grades in those courses. Traci Bellomy, principal intern 08/02/10-
08/06/10 Referral data from 09/10 school year and summary sheet I will watch for any trends between their academic performances in the classes where they received referrals in comparison to the classes where they did not receive referrals if that is even the case.
2. All students of the school will complete a survey where they share their view of their relationship with the faculty of our school. I will pay close attention to making this survey very general to all of their teachers so that it is an ethical survey not meant to target any specific teacher. Traci Bellomy, principal intern 08/30/10-08/31/10 Survey and survey summarization sheet to tabulate findings I will be looking for patterns of negative attitudes towards faculty and higher frequency of office referrals. I will also be interested to learn if they feel any responsibility for their referral or do they put all of the responsibility on the referring teacher.
3. As students are referred to the office in the 10/11 school year, they will complete a survey pertaining specifically related to their current referral. Traci Bellomy, principal intern 08/25/10-06/03/11 Survey for each referral incident and survey summary sheet to complete at end of each six weeks. I will be summarizing the surveys at the end of each six week to see the trend of who, why, and by whom are the referrals are occurring.
4. Walk-throughs will be conducted twice a year to survey all secondary classrooms to identify the respect level between teachers and students. Traci Bellomy, principal intern October 2010 and February 2011 Walk-through rubrics dedicated to respect in the classroom have been ordered from Ruby Payne materials.
Summary sheet to tabulate the trends of each round of walk-throughs. When the walk throughs have been completed, I will compile a summary of the data to learn how well we as a staff and student body are doing in establishing positive teacher-student relationships.
5. Maintain field notes throughout the year cataloging examples of positive and negative teacher-student interactions. Traci Bellomy, prinicipal intern August 201-June 2011 Journal I will record incidences that I witness throughout the year for me to compare and analyze as to how it matches up to the student success rate in those relationships and/or the number of referrals.
5. Create a list of all referrals of 10/11 school year to compare to the results of 09/10 school year. Traci Bellomy, principal intern June 2011 Referral data from 10/11 and summary sheet I will watch for any trends between their academic performances in the classes where they received referrals in comparison to the classes where they did not receive referrals if that is even the case. Also I will complete a comparative study so that the determination can be made as to whether or not our staff and students have made progress in developing better relationships.
