1. Heppner Jr/Sr High School Credit for Proficiency in the Classroom (C4P) Clearing Up the Target!

2. The Target? The Target?

3. Background  7-12 Comprehensive School  245 kids to 190 kids  14.5 FTE  97% White  75% College Bound- 100% graduation rate  40% Free and Reduced Lunches  Very Supportive Community

4. Why?   Shrinking- need 8 period day   Pressure- get better   Staff/Contract- willing and able to change   Systematic approach to learning   One language   Grading fidelity   Flexibility

5. Proficiency at HHS  Loose vs. Tight  Grading Policy  Training  Built while flying  Defined targets  Assessments/Rubrics  Sufficiency/Proficiency  Teaching vs. Learning

6. Nuts and Bolts  Multiple Assessments- some color coded  Tutorial- contract time  Created Study Guides- no gotchas  Progress to semester  Directly assesses target/standard  Clear Correlation- practice and assessments  ABCI- advisory  85% Threshold

7. Nuts and Bolts Cont.  Numerous interventions  Formative assessment  Hybrid Block  Extension classes  Syllabi  Incompletes- communication  Eligibility

8. Together We Believe  This is what we do- it is our #1 priority!  Power in the developed!  You practice until you can’t get it wrong!  The C4P system is for all kids to be able to demonstrate their skills in a measurable way.  Skills are directly assessed to meeting the Essential Skills component of the new graduation requirements and job/industry standards and requirements!

9. We Believe Continued  C4P brings focus to the standards (targets) further than ever before by aligning our grading practices to individual standards (targets).  It is a way to challenge students in a new manner that has tangible results that can be measured with grades.  Easier way of monitoring student progress so interventions can be put in place earlier.  Students will be evaluated on success using performance/project assessments- and not sit and get lecture.

10. HHS Good To Great  Cleared the Target- no surprises  Everything we do has a systems based approach  4 th year of implementation- no student fails  Assess the standard and not the activity  Learning is driven by rubrics and study guides  Focused instruction through differentiation, making outcomes more viable for all students- kind of an IEP for each student  Career Related Learning Standards- embedded 10% of grade

11. Results?  Proficiency (system) and Sufficiency (craft/art)  Communication with parents and students (ongoing)  Building assessments/structure (finally)  Tracking students (unlike never before)  Interventions in place (not more of the same)  More upper level classes (5 AP and 10 Honors- Eastern Promise)

12. Results Cont.  Improved Test Scores  System Fidelity (have consistency)  Professional Development (continued plan)  Teacher Leadership (our teachers are district leaders with academic achievement)  Change is nothing (bring on Common Core )  Teamwork/Collaboration (beyond belief)  Problem Solving (stretches staff)
