Comprehensive Needs Assessment
Benito Martinez Campus Improvement Plan (CIP) is prepared in accordance with requirements of Chapter 11, Subchapter F, of the Texas Education Code, specifically §11.251 and §11.252. These requirements are also contained in SISD policies BQ (Legal) and BQA (Legal).

Benito Martinez CIP developed, will be evaluated, and revised annually, in accordance with district policy, by the Superintendent with the assistance of the district-level committee. The purpose of the CIP is to guide campus staff in the improvement of student performance and achievement for all student groups in order to attain state standards in respect to academic excellence indicators.

The CIP is required by statute to include the following components:
•Comprehensive Needs Assessment
•Measurable district performance objectives
•Strategies for improvement of student
performance
•Strategies for providing elementary students with information on higher education preparation and
opportunities
•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

2009-2010 CIP is designed with the Site Improvement Team (SIT) along with parents, community members, business and central office personnel, analyzed data sources, reviewed the Needs Assessment and agreed on the proposed Performance Objectives.

In addition to meeting state and federal rules and regulations, the 2009-2010 CIP aligns directly with the SISD District Policies established by the Board of Trustees. Accordingly, monitoring of the strategies included in the CIP is accomplished through ongoing review of the Campus Policies and performance indicators. Benito Martinez’s CIP aligns directly with the SISD DIP.

Benito Martinez serves students in grades K through 5th. Current enrollment is 707. The numbers of students per grade level are as follows:

Kinder 103 Third 126
First 111 Fourth 111
Second 123 Fifth 127

The members of Benito Martinez SIT reviewed the goals and objectives to complete the annual district plan to respond to the District’s goals, state standards, campus and community needs, as well as analyzed data from sources that included: the Academic Excellence Indicator System (AEIS): TAKS performance in reading, math, science, and writing disaggregated by student populations that included African American, Hispanic, White, and Economically Disadvantaged. Other data reviewed by Benito Martinez SIT included the Title I Adequate Yearly Progress requirements, TAKS-M, TAKS-A results, benchmark assessments, gap analysis as determined by ARMS report (closing the achievement gap), and Gold Performance Acknowledgement data indicators. 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, dyslexia, and special education students.

The selected data sources were analyzed and summarized in order to target the seven district 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 and achievement documented as measurable objectives followed by strategies/activities and/or programs.

Student Findings and Strengths

Goal 1: 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 in compliance with No Child Left Behind requirements.

Based on 2007 district accountability data, Benito Martinez Elementary received a rating of “Academically Acceptable”.
On 2008 TAKS, gains were realized in all areas with significant gains in the area of Science. Although the gains were significant, Benito Martinez missed being recognized by 1 student in Science; thus remaining “Academically Acceptable”.
On 2009 TAKS, gains were realized as well as a “TEA Recognized “status. New targets have been set for different content areas for all subgroup populations for the 09/10 school year:

2007 2008 2009 2010
Reading 86% 88% 94% 95%
Math 74% 82% 82% 90%
Writing 90% 95% 93% 95%
Science 56% 74% 75% 90%

Our campus demographics are as follows:
Economically At Risk 72%

LEP 25%

Bilingual/ELL 20%

This year we served students in Special Education classes for Speech, Resource and FLS with 6 students.
Next year, 09-10, we will open an Autistic Class with an additional 10 new Patriot students.
These goals are set with the campus expectation of reaching “Exemplary” status in 2010. In order to reach this goal, we will continue to focus on the following areas that were started in 2008-2009:

-Strengthening our Professional Learning Community
-Kilgo Training
-Thinking Maps
-Common Interventions in each grade level
-Collaborative Connections (90 minute staff development/ planning)

Our goal is high student achievement. Our comprehensive needs assessment will focus on subgroups that are below 75% on TAKS. On the 2010 Science TAKS test, we will continue to improve the number of students in the Economically Disadvantaged subgroup who have met the passing standard. This has been identified as an area of need and also in math. We will address the identified areas of need using:
-Power Planning (teachers will align TEKS, TAKS and pacing guides to develop lesson plans per 9 weeks. We will also use Kilgo Scope & Sequence.)
-Power Boost meetings (every 4 1/2 weeks teachers will collaboratively assist all at risk students)




Goal 2- We will produce 21st Century citizens, competitors, and leaders by expanding, updating, and integrating technology opportunities for our students.

The campus is committed to expanding, updating and integrating technology opportunities for all students. Expanded technology opportunities include more access to computer assisted instruction, student e-mail, interactive lessons via interactive whiteboards and additional computers in the classroom. Our goal for 2009-2010 is to provide an interactive whiteboard in each TAKS classroom to enhance the technology instruction and to provide the teachers and students support with the IWB. We also plan to expand our Lab ports to prepare for TEA on line testing for TAKS and TELPAS.



Goal 3- We will attract, retain, and provide growth opportunities for highly qualified staff.

Currently at Benito Martinez, all instructional staff meets the guidelines of “highly qualified” according to NCLB. Our goal for 2009-2010 will be to maintain a 100% “highly qualified” instructional staff. We believe by supporting all teachers, not just the novices, with our LCC and Math/Science TSA, our teachers will realize growth opportunities and promote permanence and positive morale on our campus.

In addition, teachers will be given a six hour update to maintain their Gifted & Talented certificate annually. Teachers who still need their certification will be given the opportunity throughout the year to receive training. This will insure that our students have the most highly qualified teachers.




Goal 4- We will provide a fiscally responsible, safe and highly efficient Campus/District environment supportive of student learning.

Benito Martinez’s team of Counselor and CIS will promote safe and drug free schools as part of their comprehensive guidance program. Guidance lessons on bullying, drug awareness, and W.H.O. (We Help Ourselves) are provided every year to every grade level as part of the counselor’s comprehensive guidance program. These lessons are provided within the first 3 to 4 months of every school year; this year will be no exception. Other resources for planned continuation in the 2009-2010 school year include presentations of the G.R.E.A.T Program by the SISD Police Dept. Speakers from the various law enforcement agencies will be invited to present to all students during Red Ribbon Week on topics such as drug awareness, gangs, strangers and other safe and drug free related topics also as part of the comprehensive guidance program. Other community support such as Choices, PALS (MHS), Whistle Wagon and Terrific Kids have consistently supported and shaped our students’ lives
.
The campus will ensure that crossing guards attend safety and CPR training program. Our CATCH program facilitates educating students, parents, faculty and staff about healthy physical lifestyle habits with the purpose of promoting wellness, reducing obesity, and promoting fitness. CATCH will provide enrichment and educational opportunities on current issues and trends that affect students’ safety in the social, emotional, physical and educational setting.




Goal 5- We will improve parental/community involvement by creating effective home-to-school communications and increasing family learning opportunities.

Benito Martinez will improve parental/community involvement by enhancing effective home-to-school communications. We will continue to promote family learning opportunities through various methods. Our campus parent liaison will host “Family Frameworks” presentations once a month. In partnership, our parent liaison will collaborate with our campus volunteer coordinator to use various initiatives to increase attendance and participation by a minimum of 10%. Our parent liaison will enhance parenting programs by inviting qualified presenters from the community to address various family/learning related issues. Our parent liaison will work closely with the volunteer coordinator for the purpose of enhancing and strengthening parental involvement on all levels. Our parent liaison will increase the number of face to face contacts with parents promote communications. In addition, monthly newsletters include a “Parent Corner” to provide parenting information and “tips”. All services for our parents are bilingual. Benito Martinez’s parent liaison will be a part of the Superintendent’s Advisory Committee. Our parent representatives will be trained in decision making and dissemination of information.

Although these are challenging economic times, Benito Martinez will increase participation in our Partners in Education program via quarterly meetings and face to face contacts with potential new partners. Benito will continue promoting customer service training for all campus staff. A parent survey will be sent to our parents at the end of the year to assess how our campus performed.

Goal 6- 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.

Students’ exposure to college readiness begins upon entering Kindergarten and is continued throughout their school careers. Benito Martinez provides ongoing activities to ensure students are exposed to college readiness. “College Go Get It Week” is scheduled for August 31 to September 4, 2009. Various fun activities will be scheduled and local presenters will be invited to address all students on the importance of pursuing a college education or post-secondary training. There will be one activity, event, or presentation each day. In our lobby this year, we hung over 50 college pennants and will continue to add in the coming year. We will feature a different college each week through out the year. Information about the college will be shared during morning broadcast and school wide teacher projects will be integrated in the curriculum. Students will be allowed to wear a college T-Shirt on Fridays. An added advantage at our campus is there are several teachers pursuing their higher education, who serve as role models for our students.




Goal 7- We will provide a facility that will support the Campus / District’s learning environment.

Benito Martinez safety committee and custodians will complete a yearly needs assessment that will focus on identifying the campus safety needs. We will continuously review and modify our improvement plan to addresses desired upgrades to include making the facility safe, secure, and more aesthetically pleasing.
