Mr. Alan Dust Director of Fine Arts, Mrs. Shannan McKenna Director of World Language and Social Studies, Ms. Cathy Croteau, Director of Mathematics, Mrs. Julie Lichtmann, Director of Guidance, Dr. Wendy Jack, Director of English Language Arts, Mr. Michael Koski, Director of Science and Engineering, Mrs. Hannah Tolla, Director of Student Assessment, Dr. Kori Alice Becht, Assistant Superintendent

Part A: Overview:

Five District goals guide the strategies and effort relative to all curriculum, instruction and assessment priorities and outcomes. They include:

Goal #1: Create a collaborative environment that fosters Teach Like a Pirate (TLAP) system and philosophy: passion, immersion, rapport, ask and analyze, transformation and enthusiasm.

Goal #2: Establish professional learning communities that focus on student social and emotional well-being, as well as learning objectives through instructional practices.

Goal #3: Ensure the district is highly effective at processing, analyzing and using student performance data through established protocols, procedures and structures for staff.

Goal #4: Cultivate a strong technology ecosystem that is appropriately utilized at all levels.

Goal #5: Provide ongoing and meaningful professional development for current and new staff that is aligned with the district’s overarching goals.

Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment are intricately linked pieces of every

educational program. Curriculum refers to what we expect students to know and be able to do at the end of each year. Curriculum documents are written by vertical teams including teachers and administrators at every level in the Windham School District. Instruction is the manner in which the teaching staff teach the curriculum and assessment is the way students are assessed on the curriculum standards.

The Windham School District’s K-12 curriculum is vertically aligned and is comprised on the following: English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, World Language, Fine Arts, Media Center, and Guidance. A curriculum adoption cycle ensures curriculum remains fluid and not static. For the FY19 budget, the Science, Music, and Visual Arts curriculums will be under curriculum review. As a result, we are requesting professional development money to support our professional working to revise and update this curriculum.

The Windham School District has adopted the Kim Marshall framework to support teacher evaluation.

Mentoring Proposal

Retention statistics published by Stanford University found that 30% of new teachers leave within the first 5 years. The cost to replace a teacher averages $15,000. In addition to the tangible cost, there are intangible costs which include the loss of student-teacher relationship, student-coach relationship, message sent to community, curriculum inconsistencies, and the negative educational impact to our students. The University of North Carolina, Greensboro, recently studied the effects of mentoring programs on new teacher retention. Of the schools surveyed, 79% showed a positive improvement in teacher retention for schools that offer a formal, structured mentoring program.

Over the last three years, our mentoring program has been formalized. There are qualified, trained, and committed mentors assigned to each mentee. At a minimum, weekly meetings are scheduled with the mentor and mentee, as well as daily check-ins. Mentors and mentees have monthly calendars which highlight topics to be reviewed. Mentors provide support and coaching through monthly peer to peer classroom observations. They provide feedback regularly that focuses on student learning, curriculum, instructional practices, assessment, and student achievement. In addition, the mentors and mentees meet with their school facilitator monthly.

School facilitators also meet monthly at the district level to review common issues and program improvements.

The formal structure requires our mentors to spend significantly more time with the mentees than in the past. The stipend for mentors has not been increased since 2009. In an effort to retain new teachers and mentors, we are seeking to increase the stipends for the 2018-19 school year as follows:

Current Proposed Title 2017_18 Stipend 2018_19 Stipend School Facilitators $1000 $1500

Mentors $600 $1000 District Facilitators $2000 $2500

If we were to use the current mentor/mentee pairings this would equate to the following:

School Facilitators: 4 @ $1500 = $6000 Mentors: 29 @ $1000 = $29,000 District Facilitators: 2 @ $2500 = $5000 Total= $40,000

Part B - Curriculum

Budget Implications for Curriculum Review and Approval Process, K-12:

The Music and Visual Arts Curriculums are both up for review during the school year 2018- 2019. The Music curriculum has been reviewed and adopted on 6/2014. The Visual Arts Department curriculum has been reviewed and adopted on 11/2015. Regular work sessions and summer curriculum work time has been focused on embedding the National Core Arts Standards into the existing adopted curriculums for each department. The National Core Arts Standards were released in the year 2014, and include eleven anchor standards that the music department.

Additional curriculum time will be needed in order to unpack each anchor standard, develop essential questions, and finish aligning curriculum with these new standards. Both Music and Visual Arts Departments will be up for curriculum review in the 2018-2019 school year, which means we will need the following:

-Paid work sessions for all Departments to embed National Core Arts Standards (K-12) -Paid work sessions for vertical alignment (K-12)

-Paid work sessions to update the curriculum in general to align to the vision of each department.

Cost for work sessions and professional development:

17 staff members x $30/hour curriculum pay x 6 hours/day x 2 days = $6120.00

Professional Development numbers broken down by school:

Golden Brook:

2 staff members x $30/hour curriculum pay x 6 hours/day x 2 days = $720.00

*Meets District Improvement Plan 2.2.4 - Create and implement a K-12 curriculum based on district standards and measured by common assessments with annual (regular)

review and updates

Part C - Instruction

Budget Implications for Staffing:

Students at WHS typically far exceed the required number of credits, and seek out opportunities for the exploration of areas of interest. This also has the effect of rounding out their transcript and de facto resume prior to the college application process. In addition, the arts are a significant interest area for many students, and they see out the opportunity to take as many courses in the visual arts as they can. Prior to the 2016-17 school year, hundreds of requests were made for visual arts classes at WHS. Due to the teaching staff in place, over 200 of those requests were not honored, even following the addition of a single semester-long ceramics course with the teacher receiving a 1/16^th stipend for teaching that extra section (per the CBA). As class sizes increase, in particular at the Junior and Senior level, the number of requests for visual arts courses will continue to grow. In the 2017-2018 school year, a new visual arts (Photography) teacher was hired at 0.8 FTE. This alleviated much of the course request discrepancy, but even with this increase in teacher, only 6 freshman requests were able to be honored, whereas the average request per grade is well over 50. It is anticipated, with our new Photography teacher and our partnership with NCC (allowing students to be eligible for college credit with some photography classes), that requests will greatly increase beyond our current capacity in the 2018-2019 school year. With the extra .2 FTE increase, an additional 2 courses which accounts for approximately 48 additional course requests will be able to be honored.

Request:

Increase our existing .8 FTE Visual Arts (photography) teacher to 1.0 FTE, which is an increase of .2 FTE Visual Arts (photography). The cost of this request would be $14,527.00 + benefits for one .2 FTE teacher increase.. This request will alleviate some of the discrepancy between student demand and student placement of visual arts courses.

*Meets district Goal #3: Ensure the district is highly effective at processing, analyzing and using student performance data through established protocols, procedures and

structures for staff.

*Meets District Improvement Plan 2.3.2 Ensure necessary time for instruction in order to access the district curriculum. Provide resources and training to staff to create a common vision and expectations for instructional practice to maximize instructional time.

*Meets District Improvement Plan 6.1.3 Align budget requests for annual school budget school improvement plans.

Budget Implications for Staffing:

WMS has had to recruit music teachers from both Center School and the High School in order to accommodate the large number of students taking Music Appreciation. It has become increasing difficult to borrow teachers from other buildings to support our music program. With the addition of another music teacher, we would be able to maintain our averages of 21 per class without the support of other teachers our class sizes become an average of 29 students per class (largest would go above 30 depending on course selections).

Request:

The cost of this request would be $56,398 (M8) + benefits for a 1.0 FTE music appreciation teacher

Budget Implications for Fine Arts Department Assessment, Intervention Materials, Practices, and Curriculum:

In the music department, in both the middle and high school, Instruments that have been purchased many years ago will need to be replaced with new and functioning instruments.

Large instruments, such as tubas, baritone saxophones, bass clarinets, and many others, are instruments that students are asked to play as secondary instruments to fill out band instrumentation after they already own their own instrument. Old instruments are a larger concern in the middle school, while lack of instruments is an issue in the high school. Also, at the middle school level, as students grow in stature, they are physically able to play larger instruments. The school district must provide these instruments for students, as they already

(11)

have made a large financial commitment on their primary instrument.

*Meets District Improvement Plan 1.2.6 - Develop an evidence-based school budget and resources to support improved student achievement.

*Meets District Improvement Plan 6.1.3 - Align budget requests for annual school budget school improvement plans.

In the Visual Arts Department, materials are needed for curriculum as much of what is used in the classroom is expendable, but necessary for the curriculum (ex. Clay, paint, brushes, cameras, etc). With increased enrollment, visual arts involvement, and number of sections offered, there is a necessity of increased visual arts supplies. Also, with increased enrollment and equipment starting to reach the end of their shelf life, there is a necessity of increased equipment. This year, the visual arts department added 6 sections with limited supply increase.

Next year, these sections will continue as well as potentially increase by an additional 2-4 sections. Because of this, we are requesting that the supply budget increases with the

increased section offering to provide the necessary materials needed to realize the curriculum in these classes. Additionally, materials have increased in price over the last couple of years, especially reflected in the price of metals.

Request:

An increase in the supply line of $6,200.00 to reflect the increase in number of sections (6 additional). Each section is budgeted $1,000.00 ($1,200.00 for jewelry course) for general supplies (photo ink, photo paper, clay, paint, brushes,etc.)

Previous supply budget:

29 sections: $29,200.00 Anticipated Increase:

6 sections: $6,200.00

Total Visual Arts supply budget with anticipated increase:

35 sections: $35,400.00

(13)

Request:

An increase in equipment to reflect the need of the building photography program. Large purchases include:

-6 new replacement cameras and lenses to replace older and broken cameras with updated equipment. 6 cameras @ $500.00 per camera = $3,000.00 investment

-A new lighting system that includes strobe lights, studio light stands, umbrellas, studio softboxes, PlusX transceivers to set the strobe lights off wirelessly. All of these items function as a unit and would be an investment of $4,160.00

These purchases, along with the other equipment requested in the visual arts line would amount to a one time increase of $4,510.00 in the WHS equipment line for a total of $9,260.00

*Meets District Goal #4: Cultivate a strong technology ecosystem that is appropriately utilized at all levels.

Various software will be needed to continue providing the highest quality instruction for the fine arts department. In Visual Arts classes, Full iMac studios along with MacBook Airs are utilized daily, along with many programs on the Adobe Creative Cloud, as well as additional programs daily within the curriculum. All of the current software is embedded into the current curriculum throughout the entire K-12 Fine Arts Department, and allows teachers to identify areas of student need, monitoring, instruction and delivery, and to assess student improvement through both formative and summative assessments.

Adobe, the makers of PhotoShop, Illustrator, Lightroom, InDesign, and other programs that are utilized throughout the Visual Arts and Technical Arts Curricula, have developed the “Creative Cloud” as described above, a package of software that is sold on a subscription basis and will be constantly and seamlessly updated. In order to continue to deliver our Visual and Technical Arts curricula, 250 site licenses are necessary (as have been purchased in the past) to continue

(14)

our course offerings at the high school.

Request:

250 Adobe Creative Cloud Licenses at WHS @ $25 each.

Total: $6,250.00

With a new Technology Arts Education teacher, the technology education department has found it necessary to take an inventory of all items, since no such inventory existed prior. What was found is that most items are obsolete, do not communicate with each other, are missing integral parts for implementation and use, and simply are getting old or broken beyond repair.

Additionally, with all of the district projects and initiatives that are happening, the role of the technology educator has shifted to a more broad district wide focus instead of simply just at the high school. Eventually, the goal is to move the current Technology Arts educator to be full time with the district to highlight through TV and Video different initiatives that are happening throughout the district. Right now, this capacity is limited since one of the current teachers is only .5FTE in this role.

Before taking this step, there are necessary supplies and equipment items that need to be purchased to make the TV/Video studio work as a full functioning system instead of many different pieces that do not speak with each other. Currently, with existing obsolete equipment (see addendum) that was purchased at the opening of the high school, video processing,

(15)

transferring, and compressing is taking up the bulk of the time of our Technology Arts Educator, and taking away from being able to highlight the initiatives discussed earlier.

Previous to the FY17, a supply line did not exist for the Technology Arts, which is crucial for items such as cords, memory cards, bags, and other consumables utilized by Graphic Design, Digital Media, and TV/Video courses.

Request:

Increase the supply line for Technical Arts department to reflect the need of each course as well as district needs for TV/Video.

Digital Media x 6 sections x $500.00 each section = $3,000.00 Yearbook x 1 section x $500.00 each section = $500.00 Graphic Design 2 x 1 section x $500.00 = $500.00 TV/Video x 2 sections x $500.00 = $1000.00 Total requested in Supply line = $5000.00

Request:

Facility Need:

Computer Labs:

The computer labs in room E218 (25 computers), G101 (25 computers) and the Video studio- G102 (3 computers) are in great need of replacement. These labs are over 9 years old, which means computers cannot handle current software and are breaking during class and are extremely slow. This results in a loss of instructional time with students as well as an extreme limitation on offerings. These labs are utilized by the Technology Arts, Visual Arts, Business, Engineering, and Athletic departments, as well as many clubs and activities such as Yearbook.

Request:

Replacing existing IMac computers with new IMac computers that will be capable of meeting current curricular needs for courses such as but not limited to Digital Media, Graphic Design, TV/Video, sound design, yearbook, and others.

**Meets District Goal #4: Cultivate a strong technology ecosystem that is appropriately utilized at all levels.

Facility Need:

The Visual Arts rooms have stools that are in desperate need of replacement. For the past couple of years, these stools have been repaired by the teachers and continue to break with normal wear and tear. There are no longer any locations for the teachers to redrill holes to fasten the tops of the existing stools onto the legs, which leaves the stools flimsy, swiveling, breaking off, and simply unsafe for students to continue to use.

Request:

Purchase 50 (fifty) - 18” stools @ $50.00 per stool and 4 (four) - 24” stools @ $55.00 per stool to outfit the Visual Arts rooms at Windham High School for a total investment of $2,720.00.

Facility Need:

The Technology Arts and Visual Arts programs have both expanded tremendously in the past

(18)

couple of years. Because of this rapid expansion, there is a huge lack of storage space needed for the equipment and supplies purchased. Currently, the computer lab (Room E218) is crammed for space with no location to store yearbooks, additional camera supplies, and other supplies that are needed for the Technical Arts and Visual Arts classes that happen in that room.

Request:

$2,500.00 to purchase and install 5 cabinets along the wall above the computers in room E218 so that materials and equipment has proper storage, will not break, and can be locked up.

Part D - Localized Assessments

The continued use of SMART Music and notation software at the high school will be necessary for continuing formative and summative assessments within music classes. With the new Chromebooks at the middle school, and the cost of SMART Music software decreasing, the possibility of piloting the use of SMART Music in the 8th grade choirs and bands is suggested before implementing fully in the middle school. The development of an 8th grade SMART Music program will align assessments vertically from the 8th grade to the high school. SMART Music is now accessible through a web based system, which will allow students to access the program from their Chromebooks.

Request:

WMS SMART Music

Provide a student SMARTMusic subscription for every 8th grader in chorus and band (a total of 140 student subscriptions) as well as 3 music educator subscriptions to access gradebook and assessment functions (bundled into one membership of 3 seats).

140 student subscriptions @ @$20 each = $2,800.00 3 educator subscriptions @ $399/bundle of 3 = $399.00 Total cost: $3,199.00
