Academy of Jefferson Parish School Board Report 

School Turnaround Specialist

 Professional Learning Communities – Teaching & Learning Practices 

• The STS explained the school performance score (SPS) calculator to grades 4-8 teachers during PLCs. 
• Teachers used the results of the Spring 2022 LEAP assessments, beginning-of-year practice test data, and current classroom tasks to predict student performance on the Spring 2023 LEAP assessments.  
• Teachers entered their projections into two SPS calculators:
  • Ambitious – All students performing at advanced, mastery, or basic levels (no approaching basic or unsatisfactory)  Takeaway – School letter grade projected to be an “A” or “B”. 
  • o Actual – Projections at each LEAP performance level  Takeaway – School letter grade projected to be “D” or “F”. 
•  Teachers reflected on the differences between the school’s letter grade with the two types of projections and the implications for teaching and learning practices.
• The projections will be revised as more student data is collected throughout the year.

Multi-Tiered Support System (MTSS/RTI) – Data-driven interventions & Students’ Needs

•  • The STS is working with the MTSS/RTI/504 Coordinator to ensure systems are in place to quickly identify academic, behavioral, social-emotional, gifted, and/or talented needs of students and provide appropriate actions. 
• Parent meetings to discuss students’ needs are held weekly with the MTSS committee. 
• The quality of the response to interventions (RTI) is lacking due to staff shortages, attendance issues, and insufficient intervention data to make informed decisions. 
•  Over 50 students have been referred to MTSS this school year for the following reasons: 
  •  Child Find (parent referrals) 
  •  Teacher referrals (academics, social-emotional, behavior)
  •  Speech referrals
  • Gifted and talented referrals
  • Discipline reports (Top 10 behavior reports)
  • 504 evaluations
