Review of Lamarque
School Improvement Plan:
·
Mrs. Mancheno
explained the school vision and mission are the same from the 2006 – 2007
school year.
·
76% of the total
population need to score 3 or higher in reading.
·
Some of the gain
goals are high due to low number of students in a particular subgroup that can
be intensively focused upon and the fact that Lamarque has had one year of
experience as a school.
·
ESE teachers will be
focusing on specific deficit areas based on last year’s and current data.
·
Lamarque reviewed
each subgroup for each subject to analyze the school-wide data in order to set
the goals for the 2007-2008 school year.
·
Professional
Development:
o
The Lewis writing
program will be implemented again this year to refine our writing skills and
reach our writing goals.
o
Lamarque is
maintaining some professional development activities, such as Marzano/McREL and
will add ActivTechnologies and Kagan.
o
The Gulf Coast
Community Foundation Grant funds will cover most of the Professional
Development activities.
o
Much of the
professional development funds cover the need for substitutes in order to allow
grade level teams to attend trainings together.

utilizing current staff members as trainers.
Some staff members are being sent to “train the trainer” workshops to
allow them to return to Lamarque as a trainer.
