Chandler Elementary: review turnaround plan, so close that we need only renew plan
Rodrigues: turnaround plan had to implement essential conditions for school effectiveness, including school leadership, aligned curriculum, effective instruction, student assessment, tiered instruction and adequate learning time, and students' needs met.
describe the changes necessary
develop measurable goals
convene local stake holder groups
Redesign: specific data analysis of multiple sources, monitoring site visits, redesign plan with reflection from school leadership for each year
Union Hill: moved up due to student performance gains & due to district support these past three years
- continue common planning time (30 minutes a day)
- continue expanded instructional time (60 minutes a day)
- retain lead teacher position
- retain wraparound coordinator
- continue 30 hours of professional development
- summer professional development on curriculum unit plans for ELA and math

- implementation of higher order thinking skills, rigor, word problems in lower grades

Novick: query on turnaround committee for Union Hill; they were checked in with more informally
wraparound coordinator report coming in next few months
librarians continuing at both schools (not grant funded, thus not included in plan)
