The School Improvement Plan (SIP) is the written plan of how we will reach our goals each year. The critical elements include:
Organize:
Stakeholders plan and assess needs based on data.
Plan:
Stakeholders set goals and objectives, identify strategies and measures of success.
Implement:
Implement activities and monitor progress.
Sustain:
Identify success of current plan, evaluate and adjust to sustain growth.
Florida Standards are a set of high-quality academic standards in mathematics and English language arts/literacy (ELA). These standards outline what a student should know and be able to do at the end of each grade.
6 Key Elements for Instruction:
1. Knowledge and Use of Florida Standards
2. Common and Collaborative Planning Time
3. Interdisciplinary Content Integration
4. Frequency of Project-Based Learning
5. Student Collaboration
6. Integrated Technology
The guiding principles of Professional Learning Communities (PLC) govern the behavior of our school professionals. The big ideas are:
Focus on Learning:
All students can learn and we are responsible to ensure learning occurs.
Focus on Collaborative Culture:
Time is specifically reserved for collaboration on teaching and learning.
Focus on Results:
Effectiveness is measured by results, not intent.
The Florida’s Continuous Improvement Model (FCIM) is a systematic process for planning, teaching, assessing and re-evaluating results. It is the road map that directs our actions.

Critical Thinking and Problem Solving
Collaboration and Leadership
Agility and Adaptability
Initiative and Entrepreneurialism
Effective Oral and Written Communication
Accessing and Analyzing Information
Curiosity and Imagination
Which 21st Century Skills will be addressed through your presentation?
Critical Thinking and Problem Solving: To compete in the new global economy, companies need their workers to think about how to continuously improve their products, processes, or services. “The challenge is this: How do you do things that haven't been done before, where you have to rethink or think anew? It's not incremental improvement any more. The markets are changing too fast.”
Collaboration and Leadership: Teamwork is no longer just about working with others in your building. “Technology has allowed for virtual teams. We have teams working on major infrastructure projects that are all over the U.S. On other projects, you're working with people all around the world on solving a software problem. Every week they're on a variety of conference calls; they're doing Web casts; they're doing net meetings.”
Agility and Adaptability: Ability to think, be flexible, change, and use a variety of tools to solve new problems. “We change what we do all the time. I can guarantee the job I hire someone to do will change or may not exist in the future, so this is why adaptability and learning skills are more important than technical skills.”
Initiative and Entrepreneurialism: Taking chances and being a risk-taker. “I say to my employees, if you try five things and get all five of them right, you may be failing. If you try 10 things, and get eight of them right, you're a hero.”
Effective Oral and Written Communication: The ability to be clear, concise, focused, energetic and passionate around the points they want to make. “We are routinely surprised at the difficulty some young people have in communicating: verbal skills, written skills, presentation skills. They have difficulty being clear and concise; it's hard for them to create focus, energy, and passion around the points they want to make. If you're talking to an exec, the first thing you'll get asked if you haven't made it perfectly clear in the first 60 seconds of your presentation is, ‘What do you want me to take away from this meeting?’ They don't know how to answer that question.”
Accessing and Analyzing Information: The ability to know how to access and analyze large quantities of information. “There is so much information available that it is almost too much, and if people aren't prepared to process the information effectively it almost freezes them in their steps.”
Curiosity and Imagination: The development of young people's capacities for imagination, creativity, and empathy will be increasingly important for maintaining the United States' competitive advantage in the future. “People who've learned to ask great questions and have learned to be inquisitive are the ones who move the fastest in our environment because they solve the biggest problems in ways that have the most impact on innovation.”

Your LCSB Username
Your LCSB Password 2.
Tap the “Wi-Fi” setting. Here, “LCSB-AUTH” should appear. 1.
Tap on the Settings Icon. 3.
Type in your work username and password

10. Disconnecting from a Wireless Network1.
Tap on the Settings Icon. 2.
In the Settings menu, tap “Wi-Fi”. Then tap the blue arrow next to the network you want to disconnect from. 3.
Tap “Forget This Network”, tap “Forget” and you will be disconnected from the network.

11. Adjusting Screen Brightness
You may adjust the screen brightness to conserve your battery. The brighter the screen, the more rapid your battery will be used up.

12. Multi Tasking Gestures
Rather than pressing the Home button, simply use your fingers to quickly navigate between all your open apps.
Swiping Left or Right with all four fingers will do this. Swiping up from the bottom will open up your Multi-Tasking Bar, while pinching your fingers together will quickly return you o your Home screen.

13. iPads Tips and Shortcuts
The iPad is a very powerful and versatile teaching tool. The multimedia features of the iPad make it a perfect addition to your toolkit in working with ELL Students. Here are a few tips and shortcuts to help you become an iPad superhero!

14. Splitting your Keyboard
Typing with two hands can be awkward on the iPad, as the center keys are not within easy reach. Instead, you can use Split the Keyboard.
To do this, place your thumbs in the center of the keyboard and swipe out towards the edge of the screen.
To merge the keyboard together again, use the opposite motion and drag the split keyboard together to the middle of the screen.

15. Tap and Hold Keyes for Extras
You may Tap and Hold some punctuation or letter keys to bring up extra options, for example letters with accents.

16. Faster Charging
It’s best to charge the iPad through the included power adaptor. This is more powerful than the one that comes with the iPhone. The iPad will charge through a USB port from a computer, but only if the screen is off. When the screen is on, the message “Not Charging” will appear next to the battery symbol because there is not enough power for both charging and screen operation.

17. Proper Re-start
A Hard Re-boot can get your iPad going again in the event an app freezes or it isn’t performing as it should. To do this, simply press the Power button at the top and the Home button together until the iPad powers off (about 10 seconds). Ignore the slide to power message and the iPad will shut itself down. Now, just use the Power button to turn the iPad back on.

18. iPads Do’s and Don’ts
The iPad is a sturdy piece of technology. However, it is not immune to damage from drops and intentional mishandling. Here are a few Do’s and Don'ts to get the most out of your iPad.

19. iPad Do’s Use the iPad that has been assigned to you.

Place the iPad in “Sleep” mode by pressing the top power button once.
At the end of the day, make sure the iPad is in “Sleep” mode and the screen is powered off.
If storing the iPad over the weekend, turn the iPad off completely by pressing and holding the top power button, then swipe to power off.
Secure the iPad in a locked cabinet, closet or desk.
Report any issues or problems you may have with the iPad to the teacher.
