Samuel Ogle Middle School Performance Plan

In alignment with the goals and priorities of Prince George's County Public Schools (PGCPS), the School Performance Plan (SPP) allows for a transparent and collaborative school improvement process with a focus on student achievement.

The School Performance Plan was developed this school year as the continuation of the detailed work and planning completed in the previous school year. The SPP focuses schools on engaging in disciplined inquiry cycles through the use of Plan, Do, Study, Act (PDSA). Through the successful utilization of PDSA, schools are able to impact student achievement and teacher practice by taking a scientific approach to school improvement.

Problem of Practice

One problem the school has chosen to address that will assist them in moving toward the overarching Smart Goal

Teachers have often overlooked opportunities to help students practice, connect, and apply skills within real-world contexts. As a result, many students struggle to answer application-based or concept-driven problems, particularly those categorized as Type 2 and Type 3 tasks. Workbook-https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NPguQ9 pDvkhxZbPgJZtPKluNSrY1eiRZvRglFGOHjp0/ edit?usp=sharing

SWD/ELD students are not demonstrating significant gains in reading comprehension skills. (0% students in grades 6-8 scored proficient on MCAP, ELD)

Faculty and Staff are not communicating with parents and guardians about the chronic absenteeism rates frequently enough or with fidelity according to the AP 5113 procedure to reduce chronic absenteeism, which means that parents and guardians are not sending their child to school lawfully which is creating a higher level of chronic absenteeism for a child's attendance.

Change Idea

A specific, actionable idea or technique that school teams will use to address the SMART Goal

Teachers will administer a Type 2 assessment (aligned to MCAP rigor) once every other week. During weekly collaborative planning,

Reciprocal Teaching as a method to support reading comprehension and student independence when reading.

Faculty and staff will increase their parent / guardian communication through documented sources and direct communication that will

 

grade-level teams will review standards, analyze student needs from data, and select a common task to be used for instruction and formative assessment the following week. This ensures consistency, equity, and shared instructional ownership across classrooms.

 

inform and gather information about a child's absences at each grade level by assigned roles and responsibilities.

Target

The AIM set to determine if the implementation of the change idea was successful

All teachers will show evidence of students completing a Type 2 task every other week throughout the implementation period, as evidenced by the PDSA Cycle 1 evidence form.

 

1.   Teachers are expected to attend collaborative planning each week.

2.   Teachers are expected to give direct instruction on how to annotate, rewrite, compute, and check with Type 2 and 3 tasks using the Type 3 holistic rubric.

3.   Teachers are expected to score the tasks so that their progress will be attended to the monitoring tool.

100% of the teachers will use Reciprocal Teaching during Q2, weekly.

 

1.   Attend collaborative planning weekly

2.   Teachers are expected implement Reciprocal Teaching during instruction

3.   Teachers are expected to share evidence/work samples of Recoiprocal teaching

90% of the staff will be submitting attendance accurately during the first 15 minutes of each class period.

 

50% of the staff will be communicating attendance information with parents / guardians on a bi-monthly base on attendance reports from Synergy report ATD619.

 

50% of parents contacted will have responded to the contact with either an email, contract signature or return phone call.
