+ Cohessiveness is UP significantly!! THE JOB IS GETTING DONE!

- Morale is lowered. Teachers feel we need to ask the hard question and identifying the problem. Why do teachers have low morale? Suggestion for a Morale focus group to creat teacher-created morale activities (some felt morale became slapstick mockery and not productive). Teachers also connect morale to having a lost voice with school decisions. Does our opinion really matter?

-autonomy is also low. How can teachers be flexible to go off cirriculum to teach skills needed for content, but not feel penalized (lowering morale)? Teachers shared multiple instances of math students not being able to do basic multiplication, but teachers needing to stay on Algebra curriculum. How can we provide the autonomy to support the student, BUT keep within the reign of content?

+ Instructional support matches the positive classroom culture. Huge Gains inside the classroom!!!

- student perspective needs some work. Suggestion to create real-world conntections to leeson. Possible PD opportunity in the waiting!

# data[].attributes.body
Exit ticket - Most surprising point: Why the tremendous gain? It would be helpful to observe the collected data.

+ Graduation rate is going up!!!!!!
- We need to improve the testing culture in this school. Students see retests as extra oportunities. Building needs to "shut down" for instruction to devote to focus to testing only. Suggestion to schedule PSATs, SATs and out of school college fairs the same days as MCAS in order to lessen the outside stress in the building.

# data[].attributes.body
Challenged point and action plan: Positive climate was the only data point that fell. This is possible reflection of the hard work done by our educators to improve our other standards. We will continue to work on encouraging a positive climate, and keep our near perfect negative climate score going.

# data[].attributes.body
Low gain in problem solving adequacy.  Idea for staff think tanks to solve problems and collaborate on ways to address issues in the future.  Clearly not seeing teams and PLCs as serving this purpose, which is interesting...and may suggest that teachers do not YET see these spaces as autonomous and safe for such work....which itself leads to a target for new rethinking!

# data[].attributes.body
Challenge: Positive Climate
Action Steps: Greet each other, make positive comments to colleagues, make personal connections with others.

# data[].attributes.body
ADA is improving:

-Calling Home

-Home Visits

-Individual teachers building relationships w/ students

We can improve ADA by:

-Providing transportation alternatives (inside the 2 mile line)

-Increasing morale to build teacher attendance

-Clarification for teacher doctor appointments

Suspensions down

Graduation Rate is improving:

-Interventions

-Teaming

-Credit Recovery

-Grade Recovery

-Danger – we need to make sure students graduate and are also college and career ready

Math & Science MCAS GAP:

-Continue tutor support

-Peer tutoring

-Career ready (relevance for learning)

-Cross-curricular work & integration

-Awareness about John & Abigail Adams Scholarships as an incentive

-Awareness of future scholarships (in general)

-Test taking skills vs. teaching to the test

# data[].attributes.body
Positive: Instructional Support - Teachers using agendas and following them; MO, activator, mini-lesson, wrap-up, exit tickets, turn-and-talk, etc.

# data[].attributes.body
Positive: The comments reflect a positive teacher and student relationship. The data reflects the strong work done by educators and students to improve indicators.

# data[].attributes.body
Consistent gains in all but one category...especially interesting was gains in BOTH innovativeness and cohesiveness, suggesting creativity of teaming and partnerships.

# data[].attributes.body
Cohesiveness increased because we have simplified goals, team time, PLCs, consistency with Admin, and teachers stepping up!

# data[].attributes.body
Continue to use positive language in the classroom.

# data[].attributes.body
Behavioral Management: More consequences

# data[].attributes.body
Concern - If morale is dependent upon cohesiveness, shouldn't cohesiveness, morale, and autonomy correlate?
Action step: Possible explanation is while people want to be here, they may feel pressure to move out of Level IV.
For further discussion: Are the teacher rewards really contributing to morale? Is there anything else we can be doing to improve morale?

# data[].attributes.body
Positive - Cohesiveness: People WANT to be here and improve the school!

# data[].attributes.body
Positive: Goal focus had a big increase.

Quick Win: Keep pushing towards the same goal.

# data[].attributes.body
Keep the lines of communication open. Treat everyone with respect.

# data[].attributes.body
Positive: Paraprofessional attendance is down across the district (positive because it's not just us; this may mean there is a broader solution out there)

+ Our data is heading in the right direction.
-/+ We need to collaborate to produce a plan to increase our analysis and inquiry further.
+Student attendance rate has increased to 91% from 90.6%
+Student truancy rate has decreased to 3.6%
- CPI Mcas has remained stagnant with math and sci. (we need more cross-curricular activities.)
- Utilize and make available more interventions for students of concern at the team level.
+ Continue to dive into analysis and inquiry
- Strive to diminish to GAP in Math and Science MCAS scores
+We are trending in the right direction! :)
- Not many gains in most of the categories.
- CONTINUE our communication between ALL staff.
+ ALL OHI data went up except one!
+EVERYTHING is going up! Let's keep it what we're doing and not make any significant schedule changes.
+improve attendance= student achievement
- Sci MCAS scores consistently low. How do we raise the bar?
- SCI MCAS scores low-- How can we improve them?

# data[].attributes.body
Concern: Student attendance data is trending in a positive direction, but we currently have higher percentage of students chronically absent and severely chronically absent...
Action step: Dive deeper into subgroups of absent students to understand the "who" and the "why"

# data[].attributes.body
Concern:  Science CPI Stagnation

Why:  If we don't improve Science CPI, we will be unable to exit Level IV

# data[].attributes.body
Positive:  Increased Teacher ADA

Why:  More learning, consistent routines, more instruction, less behavioral concerns/issues

# data[].attributes.body
One Positive: Graduation rate is increasing at a consistent clip; we need to maintain our momentum!
One area for improvement:  Increase honors math opportunities to help with effective grouping and to challenge students more.

# data[].attributes.body
+ Students are becoming more comfortable taking risks in the classroom
- very few teachers made real world connections

Teachers should try to be more purposeful in including real world connections in their lesson plans and make time for group discussion on the real world connections to the material.

SUNSHINE YELLOW
One positive we noticed- goal focus and cohesiveness are WAY up we think due to teaming.

Areas to improve are morale and autonomy, which we wonder if these are due to pressures from level 4 demands

We work well together and are successful, yet individuals don't feel the positive outcomes from the success daily. WHY?
