Work Team: Administrative Services Building: RESC Work Team Leader: Brittany Parkhurst Results for Goal #1: Goal 1 four our group was to generate and distribute a "who to know, where to go" document in order to provide key administrative services contact information. This goal was set to improve upon the existing contact information to be more specific with "who does what" in each department. How do you know if you were successful? What do your results show? This was successful because we have added the contact list to our website for easy access by internal and external customers. Members of the Administrative Services Work Team can direct customers to the web listing for future reference and the information provided is up-to-date and specific within departments. Additionally, we included an announcement on this update in the first monthly update sent to local districts and all ISD staff. If Goal #1 was not successful, what are your next steps? I believe the goal was successful, but we could increase awareness of the listing by sending out an email notification on the contact us section of the SISD website. Results for Goal #2 Our second improvement goal was to establish a monthly update that is distributed to SISD customers with current, relevant information that may affect them. This goal was established to increase communication with internal (ISD staff) and external (local district) customers. As we at the ISD are informed of important updates and changes, or come across helpful information, we use the monthly update to broadly share that knowledge. How do you know if you were successful? What do your results show? To-date, our group has sent three monthly updates out (January, February, and March 2016). There is now a process in place to ensure that administrative departments, or groups, update their information each month. This has ensured that the update has gone out on time with new information each month. If Goal #2 was not successful, what are your next steps? It would be helpful to have a metric to gauge involvement on the local district and ISD staff end. I recommend, and will bring to the ASWT for discussion, developing a tool for gathering feedback. A simple, one-time could be launched to better understand the impact of the monthly update.

Work Team: School Social Workers Building: RESC/Special Education Work Team Leaders: Jan J. Gaertner and Vickie Dillon Results for Goal #1 We expanded our list of agency visits to include agencies that offer specific services focusing on the needs of ASD students. We also wanted to learn what new programs were available such as the "Saginaw Youth Build" housed at 1000 Tuscola St. in Saginaw, MI. Speaking first hand with their staff allows SSW's to identify the students who could benefit most from such a unique program. How do you know if you were successful? What do your results show? We were successful in obtaining the necessary information to help a student or their family in navigating through such agencies and securing services.

We were successful in completing this task, and submitted the evaluation tool to Administration in Nov. 2015. However, Administration stated that they did not have enough time to review the proposed evaluation tool so School Social Workers will continue to use the SIFT Evaluation tool for the 2015/2016 School Year.

Work Team: PSTP Improvement Team Building: Transitions Center Work Team Leader: Trish Duran Results for Goal #1 To improve students' overall feeling of safety at TC, we incorporated safety training at the start of each semester for each of their classes. This allowed the students to learn where they should go prior to any drills. We then conducted drills throughout the year. At the beginning of the year, we would "warn" students of the upcoming drill to allow time for students and staff to review the procedures. Towards the end of the year, we conducted the drills w/o warning. This allowed everyone to react in a natural situation. After those drills, we allowed time for students to discuss their feelings and time for staff to reward and/or reteach appropriate responses. How do you know if you were successful? What do your results show? We conducted a survey. We polled 74 students (out of 106). In summary, the results showed that 97% of students feel safe while at TC. Approximately 9097% of the students had an opportunity to participate in a drill, wither fire, tornado or critical incident. On average, 90% of the students felt staff were helpful during the drills. While on average, 92% of students knew what to do during the drills. If Goal #1 was not successful, what are your next steps? Overall, the goal was successful. Looking closer at the details, we may need to adjust when we are conducting drills to get more participation. I think increasing students’ knowledge of what to do can also be achieved. Results for Goal #2 Last year, we did not do well on SPP13. We actually did not achieve 100% on any of our selected records. Although most other districts found themselves in the same spot as us, we wanted to strive for 100% compliance. Our teachers participated in 4 trainings throughout the school year. Administrators also provided immediate feedback after each IEP that allowed us to know where we were successful and where, if any, could improve. As a team, we did a file review on almost all of our files in February and did amendments for any IEPs we found out of compliance. This year we had 23 students selected by the State for review. Out of those, only 2 did not meet all of the standards. That's a 87% increase from last year! Our goal is to get to 100% for next year! How do you know if you were successful? What do your results show? Yes and no. Yes, we improved the quality of our IEPs. We conducted all of our IEPs on time. However, we did not achieve 100% as we had hoped. If Goal #2 was not successful, what are your next steps? Our next step is to complete a SLCAP for the State. When we did our file reviews in February, we determined that we need to conduct all new student IEPs prior to March 1st. That way we can ensure it meets all of the SPP13 requirements as many of them did not.

How do you know if you were successful? What do your results show? Dissemination of the family/caregiver survey was successful, as our committee had over 584 respondents, representing all LEAs within Saginaw County. Parents and caregivers responded that they most wanted strategies and tools to communicate with their child. The School Readiness Committee designed a train-the-trainer workshop intended to provide child care partners, agencies, and schools with tools and a workshop session they could deliver within their own program that would give parents and providers strategies for improving communication for school readiness and social-emotional foundations.

It was decided the main testing instruments should be housed within the district and lesser used tests be included in the library. The SLP work team voted to not invest in Q-interactive at this time due to the limited testing instruments available on that system. If Goal #2 was not successful, what are your next steps? This goal will be worked on and completed next year.

Work Team: Post Secondary Building: Millet Learning Center Work Team Leader: Olga Kirsanova Results for Goal #1 We decided to increase communication with parents and other stakeholders by developing Facebook classroom pages.

How do you know if you were successful? What do your results show? Thirty-three schools came out to Hartley between Sept. and April and Eighteen were contacted about doing a Hartley follow up. Of those eighteen only five were interested in actually doing a follow up. Four follow ups were conducted and it was found that a follow up with just the teacher was more valuable than a follow up with the teacher and students. In a follow up with just the teacher we were able to have an actual conversation about curriculum, their experience, share some data (such as Plickers test results) and anything else they wanted to share. In a follow up which also included the students, it was mostly a fun questioning period about their experience, what they learned, and what they liked best about Hartley.

Students improved their scores from the pre test to the post test by an average of 29.3 points. How a school’s particular pre/post data improved was also shared in a follow up. Schools were very interested in our cutting edge pre/post testing method using Plickers, that at least one school download the app right away.

Work Team: Instructional Services Building: Transitions Center Work Team Leader: Rebekah Hornak Results for Goal #1 Two sessions that were in high attendance were provided through an online classroom design using Google Classroom. Rather than charging, the courses were offered for free and 24 SCECHs were provided to those who completed the required course work. How do you know if you were successful? What do your results show? Enrollment for Academic Vocabulary was 4 and Enrollment for Classroom Management was 15. So enrollment was about the same. The participants will be completing a survey on Friday, May 20th. If Goal #1 was not successful, what are your next steps? While I personally prefer face-to-face training, the online training still allows for teachers to learn on their own time. I think a combination of both still needs to be provided so many of the SISD trainings will be of blended format next year. Results for Goal #2 We still need to work on developing a system for collecting quality feedback. I found districts were over completing surveys and not filling them out. I opted to take the approach of working with my principals and curriculum council to develop a plan for 2016-17. How do you know if you were successful? What do your results show? What I found was that there were too many offerings and not enough specific focus for the county. Feedback at the meetings indicated what exactly the districts would like us to focus on next year. If Goal #2 was not successful, what are your next steps? I developed a three tiered system for PD next year in hopes of developing a focus on the county and improving us a team versus spreading out in the region.
