Schoolwide Plan
• Introduction
• School Profile
• Vision Statement
• Ten Essential Components of a School Wide
Plan
Introduction
The schoolwide plan presents the vision/mission statement, needs assessment, summary of priority needs,
and action plan for the Paul Revere Elementary School. The principal, leadership team, school council, and
teachers contributed to the development of the plan. The plan is intended as a “living document” to guide
school activities over the next three years, with updates based on findings from implementation and process
evaluation, as well as annual needs assessment. The school plan is in concert with the Revere Public
Schools NCLB Strategic Plan and Goals, and the District Improvement Plan, as indicated below:
No Child Left Behind Goals:
Goal 1:
All Students Proficient or Advanced in Reading/ English Language Arts and Mathematics
Goal 2:
All Limited English Proficient Students Proficient in English and Reaching High Academic
Standards in Core Subjects
Goal 3:
All Students Taught by Highly Qualified Teachers
Goal 4:
All Students Educated in Learning Environments that are Safe, Drug-free, and Conducive to
Learning
District Improvement Plan Goals:
Primary Goal:
Improve student achievement by exposing all students to rigorous course work, setting clear content
standards and evaluating student performance using a tool called the MCAS, Massachusetts aspires to
ensure that all students acquire the knowledge, skills and competencies necessary to lead productive lives.
Goal 1: To improve the instruction in Literacy and Mathematics
Goal 2: To focus on Standards Based Education
Goal 3: To create media rich classrooms to broaden students ability to access information
and to explore, invent and communicate experiences and ideas through 21st century tools.
School Profile
“One if by Land, Two if by Sea, always there for the Community”
The Paul Revere School in 2006 attained Title 1 school wide status to better serve its
population. In 2010 we were the first “Innovation School” in the state of
Massachusetts where we emulated many best practices. Our school promotes
educational excellence and academic standards aligned with the Massachusetts
Frameworks. The Paul Revere School recognizes social and emotional issues fist
period each day. Academic achievement and personal growth will encompass our
instructional teaching leading to positive self-esteem and nurturing a learning
culture where students exercise mutual respect, take risks, and attain knowledge
necessary to prepare them to become socially responsible citizens and life long
learners. Paul Revere’s history is the school’s theme and culture, which is reflected
in the building’s architecture and design. We are a small neighborhood school set in
an urban community. The school services approximately 436 students in
kindergarten through fifth grade. There are 67 students enrolled in kindergarten,67
students enrolled in grade one, 74 students enrolled in grade two, 58 students in
grade three, 80 students enrolled en grade four, and 65 students enrolled in grade
five. We have a faculty of 54. The Paul Revere School Innovation Plan takes into
consideration the high poverty rate (71.3%) and the large percentage of Limited
English Proficient students (44.1%) that make up its unique school community. We
encourage both parent and community support to help achieve our goals.
Vision
At the Paul Revere School, community members work
together to foster a stimulating and nurturing
environment. Students feel respected, safe, and
empowered to achieve individual success while working
together as a team. Each child will develop the desire to
learn through a well-rounded education that cultivates
individual strengths. Our goal is to provide an education
that allows our students to make connections to the real
world while improving self-esteem and academic
achievement.
All students can succeed!
Top Ten
Essentials of a Schoolwide Plan
REQUIRED COMPONENTS OF SCHOOLWIDE PROGRAMS
Under Section 1114 (b) (1), a schoolwide program must include the following components:
1. A comprehensive needs assessment of the entire school (including taking into account the needs of homeless and migratory children as defined in Section
1309(2)) that is based on information that includes the achievement of students in relation to the state academic standards described in Section
1111(b)(1).
2. Schoolwide reform strategies that:
•
•
Provide opportunities for all students to meet the state’s proficient and advanced levels of student academic achievement described in Section 1111(b)(1)(D).
Use effective methods and instructional strategies that are based on scientifically based research that:
•
•
•
•
Include strategies to address the needs of all students in the school, but particularly the needs of low-achieving students and those at risk of not meeting the state
student academic standards who are members of the target population of any program that is included in the schoolwide program, that may include:
•
•
•
•
•
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
Strengthen the core academic program in the school.
Increase the amount and quality of learning time, such as providing an extended school year and before- and after-school
and summer programs and opportunities, and help provide an enriched and accelerated curriculum.
Include strategies for meeting the educational needs of historically underserved populations.
Counseling, pupil services, and mentoring services.
College and career awareness and preparation, such as college and career guidance, personal finance education, and
innovative teaching methods, which may include applied learning and team-teaching strategies.
The integration of vocational and technical education programs.
Address how the school will determine whether such needs have been met.
Are consistent with, and are designed to implement, the state and local improvement plans, if any.
Instruction by highly qualified teachers.
High-quality and ongoing professional development for teachers, principals, and paraprofessionals and, if appropriate, pupil services personnel, parents,
and other staff, to enable all students in the school to meet the state’s student academic achievement standards.
Strategies to attract highly qualified teachers to high-need schools.
Strategies to increase parental involvement in accordance with Section 1118, such as family literacy services.
Plans for assisting preschool children in the transition from early childhood programs, such as Head Start, Even Start, Early Reading First, or a state-run
preschool program, to local elementary school programs.
•
Measures to include teachers in the decisions regarding the use of state academic assessments in order to provide information on, and to improve, the
achievement of individual students and the overall instructional program.
9. Activities to ensure that students who experience difficulty mastering the proficient or advanced levels of the state academic assessments shall be provided
with effective, timely additional assistance that shall include measures to ensure that students’ difficulties are identified on a timely basis and to provide
sufficient information on which to base effective assistance.
10. Coordination and integration of federal, state, and local services and programs, including programs supported under this Act, violence prevention programs,
nutrition programs, housing programs, Head Start, adult education, vocational and technical education, and job training.

2012 MCAS Gr.3 Math Needs
Assessment
Areas to maintain and strengthen (over 90% of students got these correct)
•
3.D.3 Interpret chart to identify type of book.
•
3.N.12 Rounding to estimate whole number computation (this was a weakness
last year).
3.P.4 Choose the number sentence that correctly compares two numbers.
3.M.4 Finding area and perimeter.
3.P.2 Choosing the symbol that makes a number sentence true.
3.D.2 Select correct bar graph.
•
•
•
•
Recommendations
•
•
•
•
Continue to represent real life data with tables, charts, and graphs. Use classroom
models for a variety of areas i.e., lunch count, field trips, weather, etc. and draw
conclusions.
Continue work with rounding to check for reasonableness of answers.
Continue work with area and perimeter.
Continue to emphasize algebra connections-balancing equations.
2012 MCAS Gr.3 Math Needs
Assessment
Areas to improve (under 60% of students got these correct)
•
•
•
3.N.4 Compare fractions using models or number line. Identify smallest fraction
and equivalent fractions (see OR Ques.14)
3.D.3 Unreleased item - Draw conclusions from representations of data sets
(note: this standard was also our strongest?? Difficult to assess the aspect of the
standard that was weak, so we need to address the whole standard in as many
ways as possible*)
3.M.3 Use calendar to calculate date
Recommendations
•
•
•
•
Use fraction bars or fraction circles to help students order fractions and find
equivalent fractions. Continue to use a number line as a way to model fractions.
*Continue to work on a variety of data representations, having students create
and draw conclusions from ALL forms of data representation, including tables, line
plots, pictographs, tallies, and bar graphs.
Have students use the calendar to find dates that are 3 weeks later, 2 weeks later,
etc.
Continue to collaborate with Sped inclusion teacher and math coach to find
different strategies to differentiate instruction
2012 MCAS Gr.4 Math Needs
Assessment
Areas to maintain and strengthen

Compute probability of picking a pencil from a case.
4.D.3
Draw conclusions or make predictions from a graph, table, or plot. (also
a weakness?)
Recommendations
•
•
•
•
Continue excellent work with rounding and estimating
Continue work with identifying classes of numbers – factors, multiples, squares.
Continue to work with probability, outcomes, combinations
Continue to work with graphs, tables, and plots.

Determine values of variables in simple equations.
Draw conclusions or make predictions from a graph, table, or plot.
Fractions, mixed numbers, decimals, equivalent fractions
Classify outcomes as certain, likely, unlikely, or impossible.
Select data best presented on a line graph ( how data changes over time)
Recommendations
•
•
•
•
•
•
Exposure to more graphs from newspaper, magazines, internet. Create problems to
go along with the graphs using a third variable. For example, using a graph of
magazines sold, determining the total cost of magazines sold in January if they cost
$3 each. This was also a weakness for our third grades. Note how different graphs
are used for different purposes.
Teach students to create algebraic expressions to solve problems, stress variables
Work with fractions and fractional relationships - pattern blocks are a good tool
Work with ordering decimals and fractions and finding equivalent fraction
Work with probability, possible outcomes, classifying outcomes.
Continue to work with math coach to differentiate instruction

Assessment
Areas to maintain and strengthen
•
•
•
•
5.M.5 Calculate the measure of an angle within a triangle.
5.N.4 Demonstrate an understanding of fractions
5.P.2 Replace variables with given values and evaluate.
5.M.4 Calculate the volume of a rectangular prism.
Recommendations
•
•
•
•
Continue to work with measurement of angles using measurements of the whole
to determine the missing angle and using a protractor. Play angle tangle.
Continue to find and compare fractions on a number line.
Continue algebra connection for expressions, rules, and variables.
Continue to work on geometric measurement, i.e., volume, area, perimeter, etc.
2012 MCAS Gr.5 Math Needs
Assessment
Areas to improve
•
•
•
•
•
5.N.7 Compare and order whole numbers, fractions, mixed numbers, decimals and percents.
(Same standard as last year ~ only 1 student correctly answered this question)
5.P.4 Select an expression that represents information in a problem.
5.M.3 Practice conversion of units within a measurement system, i.e., 62 in. = how many feet and
inches.
5.N.5 Calculate percentage of students by mode of transportation line, i.e., 1/5 = what % , so 4/5
= what %
5.P.5 Calculate a problem involving proportional relationships, i.e., 2 pizzas feed 5 people, N
pizzas feed 20 people.
.
Recommendations
•
•
•
•
•
•
Compare fractions, decimals, percents, using as many strategies as possible, number lines,
fraction bars, fraction circles, grids, pattern blocks, etc. This is a continued weakness.
Teach them to write expressions when solving problems, i.e., Mary makes $5 per hour or 5 x H
Practice converting feet to inches and inches to feet; minutes to hours, feet to yards, etc.
Continue to stress common percents and how they are related to fractions and decimals.
Solve problems using proportional relationships using tables or models (ratios).
Continue to work with the math coach on ways to differentiate instruction for all students.

Frameworks and effective strategies
for teaching and learning, teachers build a repertoire
of approaches to challenge all students effectively. With the foundation set by Research for
Better Teaching, and a formal departmental and building professional development program,
all teachers have the opportunity to hone their skills on a regular basis. Continual
professional and personal growth is an expectation for all teachers.

Planning and Support Systems
A healthy and safe environment in all schools provides an optimal learning environment.
To that end, student support services and a strong infrastructure for plant expansion and
maintenance must be in place. Facilities must be able to accommodate the needs of teaching
and learning as defined by innovative teaching and learning practices in order to support the
three RPS district goals of rigor, relevance, and relationships.
