Tool 8.1 CARE Model: Planning Tool
Identify Concerns that must change (look to the future)
(Assign points to concerns from 1 to 3 in the
order of the most important issues to consider.)
1. Do
we have effective consequences for students that have been assigned Academic
Intervention? Are the consequences
severe enough to deter the “chronic” offenders?
2. Are
teachers consistently following the criteria established for assigning a
student to Academic Intervention?
3. Is
the data generated from the Academic Intervention Program being collected and
disbursed in a consistent and useful manner to teachers and administrators?
Identify Affirmations that must be sustained (look to the present)
(Assign points to affirmations from 1 to 3 in
the order of the most important issues to consider.)
1. Teachers
must retain a workable and effective (non-class time) method of addressing
students with missing assignments, low test scores, and time to work with those
students who need one-on-one tutoring.
2.
Students must continue to have avenues outside of the class day to work
on academic deficiencies to meet guidelines specified in the campus improvement
guidelines.
3. The
campus principal must continue to monitor the results from the Academic
Intervention Program and evaluate it effectiveness and timeliness.
SMART Recommendations that must be implemented:
(Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant,
Timely)
(Assign points to recommendations from 1 to 3
in the order of the most important recommendations to implement.)
1. Design
and circulate a teacher survey specifically formulated to get the most critical
teacher feedback regarding their feelings about the program.
2.
Design and circulated a student survey to gather feedback as to their
point of view and feelings about the program.
3.
Tabulate and analyze the data to assess the most important concerns of
the teachers and students regarding all aspects of the program.
EVALUATE – Specifically and Often
(Identify the best ways to evaluate the
implemented recommendations.)
1. Use
the Delphi Method as a tool to understand the true effectiveness of the program
2. Analyze
data from the initial teacher and student surveys, summarize the information,
provide a rationale for the answers, and resubmit a revised survey for further
input.
3. Continue the process until the group settles
on a method for modifying or eliminating the program in favor of another.
