SHELTON PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Shelton Public Schools is currently in year five of the school improvement cycle. At this point we are collecting and analyzing data to see if the action plan we implemented is working. We will be preparing for an external visit in the fall of 2011-2012 to assess our goals and the results of our data.Currently, our two goals are reading vocabulary and math.We had a Steering Committee Meeting on April 14, 2010. For data collection purposes we will be using PLAN data rather than ACT. The reason for this is that not every student takes the ACT. We also decided to move ITBS testing to the fall rather than the spring.In preparation for our external visit in 2011, the steering committee attended a Technical Assistance workshop at the Educational Service Unit in Kearney to begin the planning process for the external visit. Because this is a continuous process, we will continue with our current school improvement measures as well as complete a needs assessment to assess what additional areas we need to improve.
