As a campus, the staff will be divided into committees to review and amend the existing Campus Improvement Plan. These are our priorities:
Academic Priorities
Priority 1 - Improve the education design and delivery of instruction and curriculum by utilization of proven best practices
Priority 2 - Organize and optimize resources for improved academic results
Priority 3 - Analyze and measure teacher and principal effectiveness in improving student performance and results
Priority 4 - Develop, expand, and support a literacy-based initiative that goes beyond the walls of the school
Priority 5 - Create unique, innovative family- and community-friendly partnerships to improve academic results
The information below will list the activities on our campus that will directly support and enable our campus community to collectively plan, implement, and own OUR campus improvement plan.
Campus Intervention Team (C.I.T.): Our CIT meets at least 4 times a year to review EVERY student’s progress, current interventions, response to interventions, or need for more/less intense interventions as driven by formal and informal data.
Campus Committees: Every teacher and staff member on our campus serves on a campus committee. We will have seven committees; each committee is formulated to support each one of our campus 7 CIP goals. These committees are the heart and soul of our CIP. They will work together to write their portion of the CIP. These committees meet once a month to review progress and fidelity of our campus implementation of our goals.
Campus Leadership Team (C.L.T.): Our CLT is the driving force and facilitator of each of the committees. This group serves as the committee leaders. They meet with the principal set the agenda and review the goals for the upcoming committee meetings.
Grade level Team Leaders: Our grade level team leaders serve as the facilitator for our team level curriculum planning, review of grade level and school-wide data, as well as the conduit between the principal and team to disseminate information to and from the principal - specific to grade level decisions and planning.
Curriculum / Discipline Meetings: All the academic team members will meet together to collaborate in writing lesson plans, review data trends, and to receive grade level and discipline specific training by our Teacher Leaders/Coaches
Team Meetings: Team meetings are held every other Tuesday. These meetings are reserved to review campus information, announcements, and grade level business. These are held in order to honor all curriculum time and ensure constant collaborating and continuity between the classes in each classroom, as well as throughout the school.
Parent Committee: Our parent committee meets once per nine weeks to offer direct feedback pertaining to the functionality of the school, concerns, celebrations, and information that directly affects our community members.
Faculty Meetings: We have a faculty meeting once per month. These faculty meetings are reserved for school-wide team building and direct faculty and staff professional development. All school business information is disseminated through team meetings and Team Leader meetings.
Vertical Team Meetings: Vertical team meetings are interwoven into our committee meetings as well as the academic team meetings. These groups directly discuss grade level and school-wide data trends, concerns, celebrations and their direct implications to the instruction and curriculum implementation.
State of Tippit Meeting : A school-wide meeting to allow each committee to share with the school our progress toward each goal and actions pertaining to those goals. Staff members are then encouraged to share their direct feedback and recommendations for each of the CIP goals.
Classroom Survey Meetings with Admin: Each teacher meets with campus administration to review and go over current data. This is an opportunity for the teacher(s) and administration to celebrate together, as well as collaboratively identify gaps, concerns, and areas of focus. Teachers are expected to know their data and the direct implications of their classroom data.
Peer Observations: Each teacher does two peer observations per school year. This works to create a true understanding of what their peers are doing. It also encourages collaboration. It ties accountability to district and campus-adopted instructional strategies. The first Peer Observation is a teacher in their own grade level. The second is of a peer either in the grade above or below them. Our sixth grade teachers do a peer observation of the fifth grade teachers at Williams/Mitchell/Pickett and they observe Tippit teachers.
Parent Collaboration and Notification: We work hard to educate our parents on what is expected of each student at Tippit, as well as offer our parents trainings to empower our parents to support their children through their educational journey. We strive to create a partnership between the parents and the school. We celebrate often. We notify immediately of any concerns.
Campus and Grade-level Book Studies: Directly aligns to professional development that correlates with campus data.
Tippit/Mitchell/Picket/Williams collaboration meetings: Campus administration, teachers, and specialists from both campuses meet numerous times throughout the year to review data, to discuss curriculum and instructional implementation, celebrations and areas of focus.
ELL Team Meetings: ELL teachers and paras meet at least once a month for bilingual specific training and planning.
