Wake County Public School System
Instructional strategies aimed at improving achievement of low performing student subgroups in need of support were selected by the District Improvement Advisory Committee, so that WCPSS could exit District Improvement status. Impact of each initiative, which often included teacher training and coaching is examined in this implementation report. Recommendations are made including setting strategic goals and systematically monitoring implementation; targeting schools or teachers with high numbers of AYP groups of students in need of support; being intentional in coaching efforts and structuring coaching models based on the SIOP® experience; building ownership and commitment at the school level; and coordinating new and existing efforts to optimize effectiveness. The following appendices are included: (1) SIOP® Logic Models; (2) SIOP® Training; (3) Elementary School Teacher Survey Responses; (4) Teacher Feedback on SIOP® Lessons; (5) SIOP® Observation Results; (6) District Improvement Logic Model for Secondary Mathematics; (7) Feedback for 2009-10 and 2010-11 Training Received through e-Schools; (8) Algebra I Concepts Training Follow-Up Survey; (9) District Improvement Logic Model for Adolescent Literacy; (10) Secondary Literacy Initiative Evaluation Methods; (11) Zoomerang Survey Results; and (12) LEA AYP Results.
