1. Goal 5

2. Currently, I am collaborating with teachers to offer more IBC's and Programs of Study based on student interest and future career opportunities available in our local economy.

I could strengthen my impact by expanding our practicum courses and work-based learning opportunities.

3.Obstacles include: staff availability, community partnerships, TEA roadblocks, and funding.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I choose Goal #5

2. I encourage my students, as 10th graders, to take the PSAT and ACT to prepare themselves for future testing/retests and improved college acceptance scores. I’d like to find ways to encourage military enrollment and trades as well to help improve CCMR accountability.

3. Since my kids are 10th grade, they may not see the need in planning for so far in the future by testing early. Lack of knowledge to support the students considering a military path.

I would like to continue providing “out of the box” creative projects for my students. This could be expanded upon by collaborating with other IPHS teachers, as well as community stakeholders (including parents and local businesses).

Collaboration time, and materials could be an obstacle in this endeavor :)

# data[].attributes.body
My goal is to create a classroom environment where each students feels welcomed and comfortable. Each student should feel comfortable when asking a question and know my classroom is a safe place. The environment of my classroom will be fixed in a way that it creates learning opportunities and positivity.

To provide rigorous and effective Algebra 1 instruction to high school freshmen by implementing standards-based lessons that build conceptual understanding, procedural fluency, and problem-solving skills. Instruction will be differentiated to support diverse learning needs, with frequent formative assessments used to guide instruction and ensure all students are prepared for success in higher-level mathematics.

I would like to invite more professionals from our community to come speak to my students (CTE) about their professions; such as counselors, realtors, military, bankers, business owners, farm bureau agents etc…

-I plan to work on increasing the masters percentage for the English 2 EOC test.

-I plan to start including TSI prep in my weekly bell ringers to help my students get prepared for the test and hopefully that will help increase our dual credit participation.

# data[].attributes.body
Goal 2

I feel like one of my yearly goals is always to increase rigor in my classroom. I always flirt with that 30% on masters with STAAR give or take each year and I feel like this goal will help that percent increase! I’m always looking for ways to implement more rigor, and I guess an obstacle would be coming up with these rigorous things to do that actually will be beneficial.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Goal 5

2. I am currently collaborating with parents by seeking their thoughts and information on their students for ARDs. I could strengthen this by reaching out and providing updates throughout the year when information isn’t required.

3. The obstacles are time and communication. Parents tend to avoid communication during the ARD process.

# data[].attributes.body
I currently teach a dual credit class but I could encourage more students to enroll in it. I could also communicate information about the course with parents to increase enrollment.

Not all kids are ready for dual credit rigor. Not all of those who are capable of success in my class can pass the English TSI. Some cannot financially afford dual credit classes.

More scholarships would help.

I chose goal 5. I already support this goal by having the students complete the Texas College Bridge. I would like to grow this by finding other certifications for the students to get.

1. Goal 5

2. I would like to offer the BASF Plant Science certification. Right now I only do the TSFA Floral Certification. This would allow for another 40 students to obtain a career ready certification.

# data[].attributes.body
Goal 1.

Being new I’m not sure how things work quite yet so I need to ensure I question things, and people that seems out of sorts. I can’t be afraid to say something just because I’m the new guy. I also can’t be afraid to ask people when I’m not sure on procedures.

1. Collaboration

2. Little hello gift, proposal for all campus musical for the fall productions, willingness to lend my area as a maker space 2nd and 5th period, agreement with middle school choir teacher to assist with musicals, AND encourage our team to have the courage to try new adventures with the theatre department.

3. People not joining in. I got all the funding, training, and tools we need to create an enriching collaboration experience with the theatre department.

I want to learn about the students in the success center who have struggled in the classroom to still provide them with reliable opportunities after high school. Learning what they enjoy and their strengths will be a big factor to providing opportunities for them.

I feel like we need to collaborate with junior high on what students are reading so we don’t repeat it here. Also to make sure the skills they need in high school are being taught before they get to us.

I am currently designing instruction that reach a diverse group of learners with different ability levels while trying to incorporate engaging activities that make English and literature more meaningful on a personal level.

I can improve my efforts by gaining knowledge using data and observation of each student individually. Seeing as the students have yet to arrive, I will have to taylor my lessons to meet them where they are and help them rise as high as possible.

Obstacles: time constraints and student interest

# data[].attributes.body
Currently: Providing opportunities for students to learn how to run a business and providing various entrepreneurial routes with hands on learning/training such as laser cutting, 3D printing, and tshirt making.

Improvements: CTE Center that offers move trades such as plumbing, HVAC, police/fire academy.

My class improvements: more equipment such as dedicated tshirt printer, UV printer to print sports banners, window clings, etc. More entrepreneurial experiences for students.

Obstacles: funding

I include a diverse amount of media in my lessons to reach a wide range of student learning levels and differential intakes. My main nemesis is time.

I would like implement WBL class to install a capstone opportunity to provide real world knowledge and experience for students. This will also provide a strong bond with local business and community communication.

I want to offer more opportunities for creative projects and assignments, especially those that would include curriculum from other subjects.

Time is the biggest obstacle, as are the criterion from Vernon College.

# data[].attributes.body
I aim to continue offering innovative, 'outside-the-box' creative projects for my students. This initiative could be further enriched through collaboration with fellow IPHS teachers and community stakeholders, including parents and local businesses. However, securing adequate collaboration time and resources may present a challenge in moving this effort forward.

# data[].attributes.body
2. I currently reteach several subjects. I could improve by coming up with new strategies for reinforcing the subjects.

3. One obstacle is having too many subjects to help with at one time. I dont know what would help me overcome this obstacle.

Goal 5

Currently working on ASE Certs by dedicating one day a week to work with students on testing and strategies.

Obstacles could be having all students there on the days dedicated to the day. Technology being down.

Goal 1 - It is vital to provide students with a safe, healthy and secure learning environment. Whether it is having food or water available, students having the mindset and mentality that they are safe on campus with our SROs present or knowing there are teachers who have been trained to protect them. We get off To the best start when students have the proper environment to be educated.

Goal 1 and 2 combined                                    I   would like to encourage my students to be more creative. I would like for them to explore with their art and create outside the box ideas while nurturing with a supportive environment that allows for failure which will create growth!

Goal 5-Engaging parents in a high school band program is vital for creating a supportive and successful musical community. Encouraging open communication, inviting parents to rehearsals and performances, and involving them in fundraising or logistical support fosters a sense of ownership and pride.

Goal 3 - specifically the part about providing quality professional development.

Currently, we all go to Region 9 for PD hours, but sometimes the sessions available to us don’t necessarily pertain to what we teach. We go to a session based on availability and just to get hours.

It would be cool if while Admin observed classes and saw good things happening, that they asked those teachers to share their ideas with the rest of us during one of our PD days. Whether it be classroom management strategies, organization, technology or apps they use, or something as simple as how they get kids to learn vocabulary words.

Iowa Park FFA prides itself on constant and clear communication with our parents and community stakeholders. We have an advisory committee of Brad Green, Mr. McFadden, Aaron Alejandro, Wendy Meadows, and Dr. McCasland. Using the guidance of these qualified individuals, we feel we have done a good job of getting information out to parents and the people who support our program. A great way to engage more of our community would be to have a work period available to upperclassmen. Those students having the ability to go and make more meaningful connections with community stakeholders, while also working towards getting another IBC, will just grow the support of our agriculture science program.

1. Goal 1

2. - Attend as many events outside of the classroom as possible to support students and foster relationships. - Work on approachability for students to discuss things important to them (even the “hard to love” students) 😁

3. Obstacle: students that try your patience on the daily, my own children’s activities and busy schedules. Support: Jesus

Goal 2

I consistently prioritize effective and rigorous instruction by planning engaging lessons that meet academic standards and challenge my students. I try to implement creative teaching strategies that keep students interested and involved in the learning process.

One challenge I’ve observed is the inconsistency in rule enforcement across different classrooms, which can lead to behavioral issues. In my classroom, I am firm and consistent with expectations, which helps minimize distractions and maximize academic performance. However, when expectations are not consistently reinforced by all staff, it creates confusion and misbehavior among students. A more unified approach would improve student behavior and support a stronger learning environment school wide.
