FRUITVALE ISD

Fruitvale
ISD is a Title I Schoolwide District.
The expanded opportunities in Title I for schoolwide programs are
designed to assist schools to raise the achievement of all children, but
especially the poor, low-achieving, migrant, neglected, at risk of dropping
out, and limited-English-proficient children.
Under
Section 1114(b)(1), a schoolwide program must
include the following 10 components, addressing the needs of all children:
1. A comprehensive needs assessment of the entire school that is based on information on the performance of children in relation to the State content (TEKS) and student performance standards (TAKS).
2. Schoolwide reform strategies that
· Provide opportunities for all children to meet the States proficient and advanced levels of student performance.
· Use effective methods and instructional strategies that are based on scientifically based research that-
· strengthen the core academic program in the school;
· increase the amount and quality of learning time, such as providing extended school year, before-and after-school, and summer -school programs, and help provide an enriched and accelerated curriculum; and
· include strategies to meet the educational needs of historically under-served populations (mentioned above), including girls, and women.
· Address the needs of all children in the school, but particularly the needs of children of low-achieving children and those at risk of not meeting the state student academic achievement standards who are members of the target population of any program that is included in the schoolwide program, which may include-
o Counseling, pupil services, and mentoring services;
o college and career awareness and preparation, such as college and career guidance, personal finance education, and innovative teaching methods, which may include applied learning and team-teaching strategies; and
o The integration of vocational and technical education programs: and
Are consistent with, and are designed to implement, the State and local improvement plans, if any.
3. Instruction by highly qualified teachers.
4. High-quality, ongoing professional development for teachers, principal, and paraprofessionals and, if appropriate, pupil services personnel, parents, and other staff to enable all children in the school to meet the states student academic achievement standards.
5. Strategies to attract high-quality highly qualified teachers to high need schools.
6. Strategies to increase parental involvement in accordance with Section 1118, such as family literacy services.
7. Plans for assisting preschool children in the transition from early childhood programs, such as Head Start, Even Start, Early Reading First, or a state-run preschool program, to local elementary school programs.
8. Measures to include teachers in the decisions regarding the use of academic assessments described in section 1111(b)(3) in order to provide information on, and to improve the performance of individual students and the overall I instructional program.
9. Activities to ensure that students who experience difficulty mastering the proficient or advanced levels of academic achievement standards shall be provided with effective, timely additional assistance, which shall include measures to ensure that students difficulties are identified on a timely basis and to provide sufficient information on which to base effective assistance.
10. Coordination and integration occurs between federal, state, and local services and programs, including programs under NCLB, violence prevention programs, nutrition programs, housing programs, Head Start, adult education, vocational and technical education, and job training.
· To the extent the school determines it to be feasible using Part A funds, periodic training for teachers in how to identify difficulties and to provide assistance to individual students.
· For any student who has not met the standards, teacher-parent conferences.
The district plan shall also
include the nine components that apply to School Improvement, Stage 1.
The plan shall
1. incorporate scientifically based research strategies that strengthen the core academic program is schools

4. include specific measurable achievement goals and targets for each of the groups of students identified in the disaggregated data consistent with adequate yearly progress
5. address the fundamental teaching and learning needs in the schools of that agency, and the specific academic problems of low-achieving students, including a determination of why the districts prior plan failed to bring about increased student academic achievement
6. incorporate, as appropriate, activities before school, after school, during the summer, and during an extension of the school year
