Quality Review; Part 2

Let's continue with the school's quality review.

Part 2: Overview

What the school does well

• The school provides students with a safe environment, which supports their
growth well.
ROTFLMFAO!!!! The school does not in any way, shape or form provide a safe environment for students in this school. Please read this blog from August 28th and make the decision yourself. Good thing Dear Principal John Deacon has BFF Yolanda Torres
• Organizational decisions made in regards to additional after-school and
extracurricular activities for students lend support to their academic growth.

• Teachers take initiative through inter visitation and sharing practices that
have a positive impact on student learning.
Yes, true. Teachers left to their own doings, do well.
• Students enjoy coming to school and speak positively about the support
they receive from their teachers.
What else can be said? The teachers are the best in this school.
• The school uses a variety of data sources to provide teachers with
information on students’ academic strengths and areas in need of improvement.
And these information sources are? More an more redundant paperwork so there is less teaching.

Areas for Improvement

• Revisit and refine the goal-setting and teacher feedback process to give
students specific information and targeted strategies to help them meet
their individual needs.
How can teachers teach when there has been a breakdown of discipline in the school? How can teachers teach when they get no support whatsoever from administration?
• Improve communication with students and parents in the development of
learning goals and next steps towards the achievement of academic
excellence and high expectations.
Dear Principal John Deacon needs to get out of its bunker once in a while and actually communicate with parents. Perhaps if it stops looking down its nose at the parents things relations can improve.
• Refocus the inquiry team on the target population and specific learning
targets that will meet these students’ individual academic needs.
The root problem of this has been removed. **cough** NUMB NUTS **cough**
• Develop effective systems and structures in the usage of interim
checkpoints to monitor teacher planning and differentiated instruction.
God, there they go with that differentiated instruction. It is being done. Just the smart way, not their way.
• Revisit the mission and vision of the school in order for the whole school
community to work collaboratively in one direction.
Again, lack of leadership. Get a new,competent, non-mental leader and things will change.
