EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OF NEEDS ASSESSMENT FINDINGS

Because a comprehensive needs assessment is essential to effective

planning, Iva Elementary School’s comprehensive needs assessment
addressed the following areas: student achievement, teacher quality, and
school climate. Information utilized in this needs assessment came from
multiple sources: school report card, assessment results (PASS, MAP,
ALEKS), personnel records, student records, state surveys, school and
community meetings, SACS team, and school improvement council.
Information gained from these sources was used to develop the school
renewal plan (2010-2016). The goals evolved from identifying areas of
weakness that needed improvement. Strategies and action plans were then
developed as the route to goal attainment.

Student achievement data was the primary focus of the plan. Baseline
data was the average PASS scores from 2009 for ELA, math, writing,
science, and social studies. The analysis of PASS and MAP scores
revealed a need to improve scores for all students in all content areas.
Goals were written to improve student achievement.

The second major area addressed in the plan is Teacher Quality. All
teachers at Iva Elementary are 100% highly qualified. Administrators will
continue to use recruiting and hiring methods to maintain the 100% highly
qualified staff.

The third area addressed is school climate. Multiple factors impact school
climate (parents, students. and teachers). Iva Elementary chose to
establish goals and strategies to continue improvement in the area of
school climate as perceived by parents.
