WCPSS School Board Goal:

WCPSS Students will demonstrate high academic growth; by 2014, all students will graduate on-time prepared to compete globally

Enloe Magnet High School Improvement Plan Goals:

Beginning in 2010-2011, Enloe High School will obtain a positive school effect in Algebra I, Algebra II, Civics & Economics, and Biology as well as a 10 point increase in proficiency focusing specifically on subgroups not meeting AYP (Free and Reduced Lunch, LEP, African-American, and Hispanic). In addition, overall student proficiency will be 80% or more as measured by ABC data.

Instructional Focus

Supporting students when they are not learning and/ or failing.

PLT Goals

Enloe High School has 41 Professional Learning Teams grouped by subject area. For 2010-2011, their instructional focus is supporting students who are not learning and/ or failing. Each team has a PLT Growth Plan that outlines the team's goals for the school year. In addition, each PLT has an Intervention Plan to meet the needs of students who are not learning and/ or failing. The following PLTs participate in our new Eagle Enrichment program which serves as their Intervention Plan: Algebra I, Algebra II, English I, World History, Earth Science, Civics & Economics, US History, Physical Science, and Biology. Lastly, each PLT is implementing grading practice "fixes" from Ken O'Connor's book, A Repair Kit for Grading.

PLT	Team Membersrs	Plans
Algebra I (1 pd)	Brooks, Perry, Smith, D.	PLT Growth Plan Eagle Enrichment PLT Grading Practice: All use total points. No formative assessments calculated.
Algebra I (2 pd)	Johnson, J, Petway, Price, Rodd, Simmons	PLT Growth Plan Eagle Enrichment PLT Grading Practice: All use total points. No formative assessments calculated.
Algebra II	Pate, Potter, Bouknight	PLT Growth Plan Eagle Enrichment PLT Grading Practice: Quality Assessments. No group grades. Alternatives to zeroes.

Biology	Carlson, Massengill, Solomon, Wolfe, Wood, Patel	PLT Growth Plan Eagle Enrichment PLT Grading Practice: All members use total points.
BST	Moody, Zavarello	PLT Growth Plan Intervention Plan Grading Practice:
Business	Deese, Fitch, Haynes, Perry-Pittman, Taylor	PLT Growth Plan Intervention Plan Grading Practice: Don’t assign grades using inappropriate or unclear performance standards; provide clear descriptions of achievement expectations.
CA	Combs, Humphrey, Leighty, Lewis, Miller, Schlink, Styles, Zielinski	PLT Growth Plan Intervention Plan Grading Practice: Not assign a grade lower than 50%. Teachers can choose to give a grade up to 69% in order to achieve no zeros.
Chemistry	Constantine,Warren	PLT Growth Plan Intervention Plan Grading Practice: Rely only on evidence from assessments that have a high standard of quality.
Civics and Economics	Conder, James, Joyce, Keister, O'Quinn, Wilkinson	PLT Growth Plan Eagle Enrichment PLT Grading Practice: Allow all students scoring below 70% on summative assessments the opportunity to retest or complete test corrections
Dance	Greer, Mackie, Marks	PLT Growth Plan Intervention Plan Grading Practice: Re-testing students when they receive a 70% or lower. Students must have a form signed by the parent stating that they studied for the test prior to taking the test. The purpose of this fix it to hold the student accountable for their learning while providing the opportunity to master the material. We are using a Total point system so that NC Wise factors the grade correctly.
Earth Science (Block)	Crohan, Gruttemeyer, Richards	PLT Growth Plan Eagle Enrichment PLT Grading Practice: Provide clear rubrics and clear essential outcome objects to students prior to assessments.
Earth Science (Single Pd)	Hicks, Lamberth, Ogren, C.	PLT Growth Plan Eagle Enrichment PLT Grading Practice: Provide clear rubrics and clear essential outcome objects to students prior to assessments.
English I (Single Pd)	Boggs, Davis, Lineberry, Paradise, Price, Zarb	PLT Growth Plan Eagle Enrichment PLT Grading Practice:
English I (Block)	Ayscue, Hearn, Jager, Jenkins, Johnson, Kulasingam, Macpherson	PLT Growth Plan Eagle Enrichment PLT Grading Practice: In addition to:“Attendance should not be included in the grade” and “Achievement based on individual rather than group grade,” we added : “Provide students with clear descriptions of achievement expectations”
English II	Baldwin, Johnson, E., Slusser, Young	PLT Growth Plan Intervention Plan Grading Practice: See Link
English III	Chappell, Dickerson	PLT Growth Plan Intervention Plan Grading Practice: Rely only on evidence from assessments that have a high standard of quality. We will involve students more in the grading process, so they play key roles in assessment and grading.

Geometry	Lyerly, Lyttle, Rowland, Sjogren, Ward	PLT Growth Plan Intervention Plan Grading Practice: Student grades will reflect learning over time with more emphasis on recent achievement.
Healthful Living	Buzek, Clark, Rebecca, Clark, Ron, Dudley, Farrell, Haugen, Moore Peoples, Strickland, Womble	PLT Growth Plan Intervention Plan Grading Practice: Measure students’ achievement based on comparison to preset standards, not on comparison to other students.

Physical Science	Kohn, Smith, R., Tawade, Wheeler	PLT Growth Plan Eagle Enrichment PLT Grading Practice: We will use total points in NCWISE to calculate student grades. Students will be responsible for doing and turning in their own lab assignments. Students will be allowed to work together on labs, but each person must turn in their own work-no group assignments.
Pre-Calculus	Cryer, Letarte	PLT Growth Plan Eagle Enrichment PLT Grading Practice:
Self Cont/ OCS	Andrews, Daniel	PLT Growth Plan Intervention Plan Grading Practice:*Grading Fixes: -Do not include zeros in grade averaging -No penalty for late assignments -U=Unable; INC=Incomplete -Redo assignments that have been plagiarized
Self Cont/ ID Moderate	Helder, Humiston	PLT Growth Plan Intervention Plan Grading Practice: Revise grading system (fix 11) to avoid simply averaging grades-consider central tendency in performance and exercise professional judgment.
Second Language/ Singletons	Chen, Fawcett, Kandah, Sobolewski, Youssef, Uzzell	PLT Growth Plan Intervention Plan Grading Practice:Give at least two high-quality speaking (Latin: reading) assessments per quarter to one level of students. (Grade fix #10)
