  2. Northern California Charter Schools • Best Practices • Parent-Teacher-Home Visitations • High Expectations Classroom Environments—College Prep/Attainment Mindset • Recommendations • Develop and implement new, innovated parent engagement opportunities • Increase parent involvement by mainstreaming them in system educational strategies • Generate college-readiness classroom cultures by integrating college planning in instructional patterns • Create a culture of academic success

  5. SITE Visits: Questions to Consider • How do we review, compare, and analyze site findings with current FCS practices/procedures? • How do we determine what other evidence based stories we might also want to examine? • What is the mechanism, structure, or process for making such decisions? • Who should be included in the decision making strategy to ensure successful engagement of community voices?

  8. MEAP Results: Beginning Questions • Though progress is always good news, are we closing the gaps fast enough? • How do we accelerate closure of the gap to become at least competitive on local and state levels? • What is the downstream impact on the FCS graduation rates? • More importantly, how will dreams of higher learning selection and placement be affected?

  10. Creating A World Class EducationalCultural IN FLINT Proposal to the Community

  11. Educational Beliefs of Residents • The importance of all students having the best opportunity possible to excel. • A system committed to quality instruction, student safety, parent involvement and after school support. • Flint students have as much aptitude for success as others. • Teachers, educators, parents, students and other citizens together can create a context to maximize student potential.

  12. Challenges • Facing the reality that much more work is needed to improve performance • Avoiding the tendency of engaging in the blame game • Gaining the individual commitment

  13. FACT’s Proposal • The FCS in partnership with the community to implement a district-wide process improvement strategy. • Three initial process teams: • Academic performance (such as enhanced teacher effectiveness and parent engagement) • School safety • Resource support • Team membership comprised of a cross section of the community.

  14. Process ImprovementInitiative • What is Process Improvement? • Focuses on processes and systems instead of people. • Research shows: • 85 to 95% of organizational challenges/failures are related to process/system issues. • 5 to 15% of those challenges are related to people or personnel issues. • Process examination provides the greatest opportunity for organizational improvement. • Process improvement occurs via teams.

  15. Process ImprovementInitiative • What is a process or system? • Set of steps or procedures that result in an outcome(s). • For example: the steps a teacher takes in developing a lesson plan would be a process. • For example: the processes to develop a curriculum for high school graduates would be a system.

  16. Process ImprovementInitiative • How will team members be selected? • Commit for at least one year • Meeting schedule flexibility • Concerned about our youth • Available for best practice site-visits • Capacity to work with others with different views and opinions

  17. Process ImprovementInitiative • How will students, parents, teachers, administrators and the community benefit? • Identify process and system gaps • Move more toward benchmarked, evidence based solutions • Engage the collective genius of the community • Restore the Flint story of educational excellence

  18. Process ImprovementInitiative • Implementation Strategy • Team selection within the next thirty (30) days • Team orientation and appointment in September 2011 • Team startup October 2011 • Midterm report November 2011 • Team progress report due March 2012

  19. Process ImprovementInitiative • Concept Support: • FCS Superintendent Linda Thompson • FCS Board President Harold Woodson • City of Flint Mayor Dayne Walling

  20. Process ImprovementInitiative • Community Commitment: • Will you support this improvement initiative to examine processes and systems related to: • Academic performance • School safety • Resource support • Will you agree to be part of this process improvement effort? • If your answer is yes, please stand and remain standing.
