Comprehensive Needs Assessment
INTRODUCTION

Each school year, the principal of each school campus, with the assistance of the campus-level committee, shall develop, review,
and revise the campus improvement plan for the purpose of improving student performance for all student populations, including
students in special education programs under Education Code Chapter 29, Subchapter A, with respect to the academic excellence
indicators and any other appropriate performance measures for special needs populations.
The campus improvement plan must include the following components:
• Comprehensive Needs Assessment
• Measurable campus performance objectives
• Strategies for improvement of student performance
• Strategies for providing students with information on higher education preparation
• Description of resources needed to implement identified strategies
• Description of staff responsible for accomplishing each strategy
• Timelines for implementation of each strategy
• Formative evaluation criteria
• Summative evaluation criteria

Myrtle Cooper Elementary is a PK-5th grade campus serving 550 students. Our student population presently consists of 93.60% Hispanic, 4.22% White, 0.87% African American 1.02% Asian and 0.29% American Indian. Myrtle Cooper is a Texas Education Agency "recognized" school, Cooper teachers used innovative and effective instructional practices in order to reach the recognized status. In developing the 2009-2010 Campus Improvement Plan (CIP), the Cooper School Improvement Team (SIT) comprised of elected members of the campus, along with parents and members from the community, analyzed various data sources, met in committee to review the Needs Assessment, proposed objectives and strategies for the purpose of meeting the needs of the campus which includes 550 students and 73 faculty and staff members.
Grade Levels/Sections = Number of Students
PK = 44
Kindergarten = 38
1st Grade = 68
2nd Grade = 90
3rd Grade = 91
4th Grade = 92
5th Grade = 84

Members of the SIT, met to complete the annual CIP to respond to the Superintendent’s goals, state standards, campus and community needs, and analyzed data from sources that include: the Academic Excellence Indicator System (AEIS): TAKS performance in reading, math, science and writing disaggregated by student populations that include African American, Asian, American Indian, Hispanic, White and Economically Disadvantaged. Other data reviewed by SIT include the Title I Adequate Yearly Progress requirements, TAKS-A, TAKS-M and TAKS-Alt results, benchmark assessments, TPRI/Tejas LEE, TELPAS and SELP. Additionally, the committee reviewed various documents to assess instructional programs addressing the needs of at-risk, economically disadvantaged, gifted and talented, immigrant, English language learners, migrant, special education students and dyslexia students.

The selected data sources will be analyzed and summarized in order to target the seven campus goals. The needs assessment is based on longitudinal and current year data disaggregation of 1) student performance by demographics and ethnicity to align curriculum; 2) technology needs as referenced in technology plan; 3) retention of highly qualified staff and professional development; 4) safe and drug-free learning environment; 5) parental involvement in the learning process; 6) college-ready opportunities; and 7) facilities that optimize the learning environment. Incorporated into the plan are areas for improvement of student performance documented as measurable objectives followed by strategies/activities and/or programs.


GOAL 1: Increase all students’ academic performance
We will increase the levels of all students’ performance in all grade levels in all TAKS content areas by establishing benchmarks, aligning instructional content, and assessing data to increase student achievement and high graduation rates in compliance with No Child Left Behind requirements. We will use Scientifically Research Based Planners/Agendas to document communication with parents and incorporate our Character Education and Bullying Prevention Programs.

Myrtle Cooper has set the following expectations in the different content areas for the campus:
• Reading: increase from 88% in May 2009 to 95% by May 2010.
• Mathematics: increase from 87% in May 2009 to 95% by May 2010.
• Science: increase from 75% in May 2009 to 90% by May 2010.
• Writing: increase from 96% in May 2009 to 100% in May 2010.
These expectations are set with Myrtle Cooper’s expectation of reaching “Exemplary” status in 2010.

Myrtle Cooper is evaluated for Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) under the accountability provisions in No Child Left Behind (NCLB). Cooper is required to meet AYP criteria on three measures: Reading/Language Arts, Mathematics, and Attendance. Myrtle Cooper has met AYP since its establishment. However, because we receive Title I, Part A funds if we fail to meet AYP for two consecutive years, our campus is subject to certain requirements such as offering supplemental education services, offering school choice, and/or taking corrective actions.

Myrtle Cooper has a large Special Education population; therefore full inclusion was implemented in 2008 in an effort to continue to meet AYP in Math and Reading.


GOAL 2: Produce 21st century citizens, competitors, and leaders
We will produce 21st Century citizens, competitors, and leaders by expanding, updating, and integrating technology opportunities for our students. Myrtle Cooper is committed to updating, increasing and integrating technology opportunities for all students. Increasing technology opportunities include more access to computer assisted instruction, student email and interactive lessons using interactive whiteboards. Creating campus/teacher web pages will foster communication with colleagues, parents, administrators and the community. Myrtle Cooper added 18 Interactive Whiteboards (IWBs) in 2008-2009. In 2009 Cooper will work to provide IWBs to 10 additional classrooms for the purpose of furthering the integration of technology. The campus Instructional Technologist will continue to provide staff development throughout the year in the areas if integration of technology, email, spreadsheets, Edusoft for item analysis, TANGO and the use of IWB’s. The campus SWAT Team will continue to troubleshoot technology problems that arise in the classroom and with the daily/weekly morning announcements.

GOAL 3: Attract and retain highly qualified staff
We will attract, retain, and provide growth opportunities for highly qualified staff. Myrtle Cooper will ensure that our students are taught by “highly qualified” teachers by verifying with the Human Resources Department that candidates are certified before a recommendation for employment is made. In an effort to retain “highly qualified” teachers Myrtle Cooper will provide professional development opportunities for all teachers especially newly hired teachers. New teachers to Myrtle Cooper will fully participate in and receive support from the Teacher Induction Program for Socorro (TIPS). TIPS is a program for all new teachers and it offers strong support for all new staff to SISD. In addition, all teachers are mentored by other teachers within their grade level. Teachers are also given a choice of staff development opportunities via a Needs Assessment. Campus personnel will have access to a wellness program headed by the campus nurse and coach, which will include a walking program, a stress relief component, and a nutrition and exercise component. Healthier food options will be provided by cafeteria staff for teacher and staff as well.

Myrtle Cooper will ensure compliance with local, state and federal personnel laws and District policies and procedures by disseminating information to employees through various means, providing updated trainings, announcements, calendars, handbooks and by providing staff development to ensure full compliance and implementation of all policies and procedures.

GOAL 4: Provide fiscally responsible, safe and highly efficient learning environment
We will provide a fiscally responsible, safe and highly efficient environment supportive of student learning. A safe and drug free school will be promoted through various trainings and presentations including SRO presentations, Safe & Drug Free Schools presentations, Anti-gang presentations, Stranger Danger presentations and the Implementation of the Olweus Bullying Prevention Program. The Positive Behavior Support Team will continue to meet for the purpose of being proactive in providing an environment free from bullying and aversive behavior on the part of both students and faculty. In addition, Myrtle Cooper will educate student, parents, faculty, and staff about healthy physical lifestyle habits with the purpose of reducing obesity and promoting fitness. Campus personnel will have access to a wellness program headed by the campus nurse and coach, which will include a walking program, a stress relief component, and a nutrition and exercise component. Healthier food options will be provided by cafeteria staff for teacher and staff as well.


GOAL 5: Improve parental and community involvement
We will improve parental/community involvement by creating effective home-to-school communication and increasing family learning opportunities. Myrtle Cooper will improve parental/community involvement by creating effective home-to-school communications and increasing family learning opportunities through various methods. The counselor and parent liaison will hold at least two monthly parent trainings. In addition, administration will meet monthly with parents for the purpose of providing effective communication between the home and school. Teachers will be required to make one positive parent contact per child per month to further strengthen this communication between home and school. Myrtle Cooper will also participate in the Partners in Education Program and will make contacts with potential new partners on a regular basis.

GOAL 6: Ensure that all students graduate college-ready to successfully compete in a global economy
We will provide all students with the opportunity to graduate from high school college- ready and ensure they have the skills to successfully compete in a global economy. Myrtle Cooper students receive exposure to college readiness via Education “Go Get It” Week, beginning in Pre-Kindergarten, and this continues throughout their school careers. Myrtle Cooper will implement monthly school-wide activities to ensure students are adequately exposed to college readiness. Our 4th & 5th graders participate in the AVID program. In addition, all students, kindergarten through 5th grade have the opportunity to participate in a fully developed G/T program. Our teachers are also afforded the opportunity to attend summer training institutes for G/T, ensuring that our students have the most highly qualified teachers.

GOAL 7: Provide facilities to support the learning environment
We will provide facilities that will support the learning environment. Myrtle Cooper will provide a facility that is safe and supports the learning environment. Cooper will also participate in the SISD comprehensive maintenance and operational plan in order to address facility needs and building upgrades.
