to ecome independent, responsile, and emploale citizens.

VIION TATMNT

The overarching vision of the Charter chool of xcellence is to provide students with an

individualized learning plan with the necessar curriculum areas that include a focus on

reading, mathematics, and writing that will enale students to e successful in the 21st centur.

TUDNTThe tudents at PHC are expected to maintain a safe, small, learning environment. The are

expected to put forth est e orts to accomplish academic success. tudents should e active

learners when engaged in their Zone of Proximal Development relative to instruction. All

students are expected to practice skills taught in evidenced ased programming to enhance

their social emotional well-eing. ach student is expected to nd their potential and create a

pathwa to actualize post-secondar options. All students are expected to adhere to the

policies that support the holistic academic and pro-social design.

TAFFThe ta at PHC are expected to maintain a safe, small, learning environment. The are

expected to put forth est e orts to accomplish instructional goals and deliver PD academic

standards. ta must design instruction that meets students in their Proximal Zone of

Development. ta are expected to model and practice skills taught that enhance professional

relationships and encourage a collaorative approach with students.

ADMINITRATIONThe Administration at PHC are expected to maintain and foster a safe, small learning

environment. The are expected to e instructional leaders and adhere to est practices, PD

standards, PHC Polic and professional responsiilities. The Administration is expected to

utilize data to inform decision making in the est interest of our students. The expectation to

sustain the climate and culture that supports the mission, vision and values in a transparent

individual meetings.

COMMUNITYThe PHC communit is expected to communicate their ideas, concerns, feedack and

general comments as warranted. The are encouraged to communicate or provide opportunities

to support our students, as example in our work-force development program or our relationships

Most Notale Oservations/Patterns

The CI support team framed Needs Assessment activities for the PHC teeringCommittee using the Data Wise planning model. Learner-centered prolems identified thatalthough students show up read to learn, the tend to disengage when the lesson/task istoo high to access, too low to e cognitivel engaging, or not a fit to their learningpreferences, which results in an underestimation of their own potential. Team memers feltthat students need guidance on understanding their appropriate ailit levels (ex. rigor, DOK)and introduced strategies as to how the sstem could increase students' motivation andefficac levels. Adult-centered prolems focused on how teachers overcome students'resistance to take on challenging instructional activities that move them forward, with anunderstanding that since the school's population is one that enrolls into the sstem wellelow grade level, the sstem must e structured to move students at an accelerated pace toclose existing achievement gaps. Consistent with these concerns, the PHC steeringcommittee has chosen to focus on ssential Practices 4 and 6. P6 engages each school'sleadership team. Goals will e developed to include the principals' efforts on holdingteachers accountale to differentiate instruction and assessments that challenge students attheir highest ailit levels using various data sources. Team memers agreed that althoughPHC currentl has a data rich culture, the data ma not e used to inform instructionalplanning on a dail asis. CI and school leaders understand their role/ mission is to supportteachers and administrators with specific strategies related to transforming the school's data-rich culture to one that actualizes this data during instructional planning and implementation,so that students are put on pathwas that include appropriate entr-points for instruction andengage them in learning activities that challenge them using grade-level standards with theappropriate support. The goal(s) of P4 will serve as measurements of students' progress overthe school ear. Administrators and teachers will use assessments of programs currentl usedin the sstem (Curriculum-ased Assessments, Reading & Math Inventor), as well as otherdiagnostic and enchmark assessments, to measure students' progress, and make necessaradjustments to individual learning plans, as needed, ased on these results.

Appling the instructionalstrategies to meet all students'needs ased on their variouslevels of academicperformance requirestargeted, differentiatedinstruction.

ased on the inexperience of theinstructional staff, this continues topose an issue ased on lack ofdifferentiation and strategies to meetthe needs of all students.Additionall, almost all students inever classroom need differentiationand the needs are significant andvaried.

Formalized conversations withstudents: Most PHCstudents enroll with a negativeself-esteem perspective andlack motivation to seek andplan to reach their potential

The PHC mission is to work withstudents who are at-risk for academicfailure including having a negativeself worth and histor of failure intheir lives. PHC exists to reakdown all student arriers so all can esuccessful.

Identif and address individualstudent learning needs.

This challenge exists ecause thelearning needs are significant andvaried across all grade level sincestudents are generall ehind gradelevel at enrollment. The PHC willcontinue to focus on meeting theneeds of all students and use dataand other progress monitoring toolsto address this concern. ROOTCAU-Teachers and staff struggle tomeet the needs of all students due to


lack of pre-service training focusedon meeting our students' diverseneeds.

Foster a culture of highexpectations for success for allstudents, educators, families,and communit memers.

There is a need for collectiveacademic expectations and to utilizecollaorative approaches to formalignment. ROOT CAU-Teachersand staff need additional professionallearning in order to ensure the aremeeting the social, emotional,cultural, and academic needs of allstudents.
