Comprehensive Needs Assessment
Bill Sybert begins our eighth year of operation in the 2009 - 2010 school year. We are a PK - 8 school whose population hovers around the 1300 mark. As a campus entrenched in the drive to become a highly effective "professional learning community" we have chosen one negotiable - students will be successful.

In this vein, we established a committee that reviewed plans, goals and results from the previous school year. This committee represented individuals from the entire Sybert learning community. We identified our strengths and our areas needing improvement and agreed on several strategies to enhance our instructional plan and lead us to recognition as an exemplary professional learning community.

Goal 1: We will increase the levels of all students' performance in all grade levels in all TAKS 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.

Bill Sybert School is TEA recognized! That is a huge accomplishment and reflects the growth and dedication of an exemplary PLC. A glimpse at our 5 year growth clearly shows our progress across all grade levels and content areas.

We have set our eyes on Exemplary Status and have achieved it many grade levels and in three of the five content areas. Within our shortfalls there are great gains and good news to report. Most importantly our commended rates are through the roof in many areas. Bilingual/ESL performance gaps have increased in many areas and must be a main concern. In some of the areas of concern administrative personnel changes have been made and/or instructional plans have been put into place. We have also honed our TST system to razor sharp effectiveness and believe that our RTI plans are meeting the needs of many students and will continue to improve the instructional program for all students.

Third grade once again has performed at near exemplary levels across all special populations. Our passing rates are up in both subjects with Reading at 96% (+3%) and Mathematics at 90% (+1). Our math commended status has risen to 37% with At-Risk students achieving commended status at a higher rate than their peers. To achieve an Exemplary rating we need raise the percentage of SPED students passing a bit, but we did gain 15% points over last year. The only area that dropped, ever so slightly, was ESL/LEP, but we remain at exemplary levels with these students.

The analysis of 4th grade results is mostly positive and reflects a positive growth trend. Our Reading numbers rose 17 percentage points to 82%. Our Mathematics numbers rose 12 percentage points to 82%. Our Writing scores dropped to 86%, and 62% of students are receiving a 2 on the composition. The overall passing rates are up, and administrative personnel changes are expected to continue this trend. However, significant performance gaps remain for all special populations. Bilingual performance gaps did narrow, only 12% in Mathematics, but remain significant in all subjects. There were certainly highlights within the data analysis but this team must continue to be strengthened and developed if we are to achieve an Exemplary rating.

There are positive and negative results within the analysis of 5th grade data. Individual teachers had significant gains in Mathematics and Science. One section of students achieved at 95% in both Mathematics and Science. The team also began to dynamically plan together to improve results for all kids. Administrative personnel changes have been effected that have strengthened these two content areas for the benefit of all children. The performance gaps for SPED students were dramatically reduced across all content areas, to the point that SPED students outperformed their peers in the area of Science. Gaps remain at 45+ percentage points for At-Risk, and gaps have grown to exceed 60 percentage points for Bilingual students in Reading and Science. We must respond swiftly and effectively. If it were not for the strength of our 3rd grade Bilingual results our school would be in a very dire situation.

The news in 6th grade is very encouraging. This group of students was very immature but the quality of instruction and teaching team provided very solid results. Our Reading scores are up to 93% and our Mathematics scores are up 12 percentage points to 82%. Personnel and program changes in 6th Grade Mathematics have proved very successful. In Mathematics we achieved a 45% commended rate, which is nearly double the level of last year. Our CWC model and Read 180 are helping us close the performance gap for SPED students in Reading. This year, 75% of SPED students passed reading TAKS as compared with 17% last year. We must address significant gaps for our ESL students in both subjects (Reading – 28 percentage points; Mathematics – 33 percentage points). The performance gap for At-Risk students is closing, only 14 percentage points; the gap remains significant (39 percentage points) in Mathematics.

Scores are up across all three content areas in 7th Grade. Reading scores are up to 90%, Math scores have risen 6 percentage points to 81 and Writing scores climbed to 97%. This team came together very well to demand more of students. We did experience a slip in Read 180 scores for this grade level. Compositions receiving a 3 were at 40%, however only 1 student received a score point of 4, this remains an area for growth. The commended rate dipped in both Reading and Writing and thus highlights another area for growth, but overall 7th grade results are very promising.

Our 8th grade scores remain strong in Reading and Social Studies with commended rates at or above 50%. Performance gaps for ESL and SPED students have remained significantly large in all four content areas. Science showed a 6 percentage point gain but the performance gap for each special population grew. We must address the ESL population’s needs in new ways as the gap has widened for the past 3 years. Clearly we must strengthen academic vocabulary building and intensify interventions for all groups in Mathematics and Science.

Our performance gaps for Bilingual and ESL students demand action. As already stated some administrative personnel changes have been implemented. More scientifically research-based interventions will be put into place in both Tier II and Tier III settings. Our middle school ESL students will be served in a CWC model, but we will move the ESL provider from Reading classes to Language Arts classes. This will allow more time for Reading interventions within the classroom. All middle school ESL students will attend after-school remediation until their performance dictates there is no need.

Our middle school Science program must continue to be strengthened. Support from the entire department must be given to the 8th grade. More instructional support for note-taking, vocabulary development, study habits must be provided to teachers and students.
We need to build on the strengths of our faculty and share the knowledge and instructional practices we already know within the building. Thus we utilize extra-duty pay to have teachers deliver in-house staff development and work on the creation of instructional materials to be used in our areas of greatest need.

We have closed the gap academic performance gap for many of our SPED students. We need to continue to improve our CWC services and instructional practices. We have added another member to our SPED team to better serve all students, to include Bilingual SPED students in the elementary grades. We have also extended our CWC services in the middle school grades to Social Studies and Science. We also are developing intervention classes in Reading, Mathematics and Language Arts. We will need to support these teachers with professional development opportunities and instructional materials that meet the needs of their students.

Finally, we will continue to develop our TST/RTI process. An instructional team will meet weekly to track students and develop appropriate interventions for students who are not progressing or are significantly below grade level. As we develop specific interventions we will need to use extra-duty pay to support teachers and utilize funds to purchase reading and mathematics materials that are scientifically research based.

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

New computers and more memory are an ever existing need for our campus and one that we will continue to work on. We also remain committed to expanding the use of the technology in all classes, across grade levels and subjects. Our instructional technologists will continue to train students and teachers, and expand their trainings to our parents. In training teachers our instructional technologists need to help familiarize our faculty with programs, websites and resources that are available to them beyond just word processing and PowerPoint.

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

We have become a strong PLC but we need to continue to develop as a learning community. We will revisit Dufour’s PLC ideas through book talks and professional development. We have had a very successful new teacher program entitled Teachers Working Towards Excellence (TWTE) that we will continue to work with, however, we intend to expand our TWTE program to include all teachers. We need to share instructional strengths that already exist in our campus with the rest of the faculty. We will do this through in-house in-services that may occur during grade level conferences or after school. We intend to utilize extra-duty pay to support teachers willing to lead these professional developments.

In order to move from good to great we need to build our morale and celebrate our success more. We intend to share “good news” with the SISD public relations department to be distributed district-wide. We intend to create a “good news” newsletter to be published monthly that can be shared with our PLC. We will celebrate academic and discipline success more often. We will work to bring fun to a whole new level for out entire PLC.



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

For a large portion of the 2007 - 2008 school year Bill Sybert did not have a security officer and our SRO was constantly being pulled away from our campus. This is an area that must be remedied. In 2008 -2009 the district has provided us a permanent security guard; however we remained without an SRO for the majority of the school year. We must get assistance from the district to ensure we have access to an SRO on a more regular basis. Our SRO will again need to spend more time on our campus and we will once again utilize outside SROs to start the GREAT program in our middle school grades.

We are committed to zero tolerance on school violence. In this vein we will continue to be very responsive to disciplinary incidents that involve violence and will be very strict with our consequences. Within this goal though the number of referrals that resulted in a consequence of SAC, out of school suspension, or a KEYS referral dropped by 50%. This demonstrates that the implementation of firm and consistent consequences is working. Bill Sybert will remain a drug free school and our award winning counselors will assist in this area. Bill Sybert will also continue to be very responsive to bullying and will take part in the Olweus Bullying Prevention Program. We will work to recognize positive conduct by creating a discipline incentives program.

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

Bill Sybert has been a leader in this area, and we will continue to grow our parental involvement. The administration will continue to collaborate and support the parent liaison and our parent volunteers. Monthly informational meetings will be held based on needs and requests of our parents. We will work to expand our PLC by including the parents in more instructional focused meetings. We intend to recommit to the PIE program and strengthen our PLC by involving businesses more in the celebration of our success.

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.

Sybert will continue to reduce our retention rates across all grade levels Even though we are very proud of our efforts in 2008 – 2009, we will continue to hone our TST to better prepare our PLC for academic success. Our award winning counseling team continues to assist in retention/placement meetings and progress reports to ensure the success of our students.

Goal 7 - We will provide facilities that will support the District’s learning environment.

Bill Sybert has become overcrowded with multiple teachers being forced to be float teachers. We have restructured our faculty once again and we floating fewer teachers for 2009 – 2010. We also are providing better learning environments for our Speech students and for our Tier III RTI students. Our campus has created a "temporary" classroom within our art room that is limiting our fine arts program. The campus was constructed with only one science lab. For the past 3 years portables have been added each year to handle the growing student population. Our facilities need to be studied and evaluated to in order to upgrade to be equitable to new construction.
