Classroom BreakdownKindergartenFirst Second ThirdFourth FifthLearning Immersion111000TD000111Regular332322Shamrock Gardens’ 362 students represent a diverse student population with approximately 58.3% African-American, 8.6% White, 4.4% Asian, 21.8% Hispanic, 0.6% American Indian and 6.4% Multi-racial/Other students. The current enrollment of 54 Limited English Proficiency (LEP) students qualifies Shamrock Gardens as an English as Second Language Program site for primarily Hispanic students. ESL students make up approximately 20% of the total student population. Overall 5.2% of the student population is gifted while 8.0% receive exceptional children services. Approximately 93.8% of our students come from a socio-economic background that qualifies them to receive free/reduced lunch. The 2009 – 2010 North Carolina End of Grade (EOG) test data provides valuable information regarding student achievement at Shamrock Gardens Elementary School. According to the North Carolina Department of Instruction results, our school made growth with a composite score of 66%. The most recent results provided from Charlotte-Mecklenburg School District’s Office of Accountability indicate the following: 69.1% of 3rd grade students achieved a level III or IV in mathematics and 55.9% achieved a level III or IV in reading. 87.3% of 4th grade students achieved a level III or IV in mathematics and 61.8% achieved a level III or IV in reading. 76.8% of 5th grade students achieved a level III or IV in mathematics, 52.7% achieved a level III or IV in reading and 60% achieved a level III or IV in science. Shamrock Gardens has school-wide access to the internet, 2 computers in every classroom, a computer lab, laptop cart, and a wealth of instructional software. All 3-5 classrooms have Smart Boards and utilize Smart Technologies. In addition there are 124 CPS handheld responders available for all classrooms to utilize as an interactive tool to engage students. These responders will be utilized in parent meetings as a way to receive immediate feedback as well as an assessment tool. Shamrock Gardens has an established PTA that has been operating since the 2005-2006 school year. They have created their own website and continue to enlist new members and volunteers every year. The PTA has written several grants to increase parent involvement. “The Front Porch Grant” is a grant developed to bring parents together for socialization, dinner and getting to know each other. It has been very successful and played an intricate role in parent/school relationships. Shamrock Gardens’ Parent Involvement Policy is developed with parent impute as well as SLT and the PTA. It is revisited and revised every fall and spring and shared with parents both in the beginning of the school year and the end of the school year. Shamrock Gardens’ LI magnet program in Kindergarten and First grade have completely filled all seats available at the beginning of the 2010-2011 school year. We are beginning to attract more parents in both Midwood and County Club Heights neighborhoods. Highly Qualified StaffShamrock Gardens has a total certified teaching staff of 20 grade level teachers, 1 full time Exceptional Children’s teacher and 1 part-time Exceptional Children’s teacher, 2 full-time Special Area teachers and 3 part-time Special Area teachers, 1 Talent Development Teacher, 1 Speech-Language Pathologist, 1 part-time Psychologist, 1 Counselor, 1 Social Worker, 1 Academic Facilitator, 1 full time English as a Second Language teacher and 1 part-time ESL teacher, 1 Communities In Schools Agent, 2 Secretaries, 3 part-time tutors, 1 Behavior Management Technician and 6 highly qualified Instructional Assistants. All of these staff members have direct instructional contact with our students. This does not include the principal or assistant principal.

Frequent monitoring by the Instructional Leadership Team ensures that all teachers provide high quality instruction based on the NCSCOS. The North Carolina School Report Card is sent home with every student which outlines the highly qualified staff at Shamrock Gardens Elementary; in addition, it is presented at the annual Title I Meeting. During long term absences of Highly Qualified teachers, we work together as a professional learning community and with the our human resources department to replace them with a highly qualified substitute. In the event that this is not possible a letter is sent home to all parents affected from the principal. Shamrock Gardens Elementary School sends home the parents Right to Know letter in the fall and spring of every year. Teacher Recruitment and PlacementTeacher Placement Shamrock Gardens’ administration utilizes the summative evaluation process to gauge the level of teacher satisfaction. During these individual conferences the teacher, principal and assistant principal meet to discuss job performance, student achievement and issues that arise throughout the school year. These conferences are very teacher specific and help to guide the administration team as they prepare for the upcoming school year as to the best placement for teachers and students. During these meetings the admin team listens openly and encourages teachers to do the same. This process has been very effective in developing relationships with staff members and determining the long term goals and aspirations of teachers. It is also a great venue to discover morale issues and areas in which we can improve the culture of our school. In 2009-2010 the admin team decided to move some of the LI/TD teachers around to give more teachers the opportunity to teach LI with the anticipation of infusing the entire school with LI/TD teaching methods. Shamrock Gardens uses assessment data to formulate small groups at all grade levels for students who are performing below grade level. We employee three part-time tutors to provide instruction for small groups, which reduces class size in regular classrooms. Teacher RecruitmentShamrock is involved in the TIF/LEAP bonus program which is a selling point in attracting teachers. Shamrock Gardens Elementary School provides all new teachers to Shamrock a buddy. These people are responsible for acclimating new staff members to our school environment. This is a great tool that has been very successful in providing support to new teachers as well as distributing the leadership throughout the school building. Shamrock provides all first year, second and third year teachers with a certified mentor to support teachers in areas of instruction and licensure compliance. All mentors and mentees attend monthly support meetings. Agendas for these meeting are determined by the mentees needs assessment. However, Our staff has stabilized over the past three years and we have no new teachers. Support and encouragement is still provided through the School Morale Committee and our partnership with St. Luke United Methodist Church. Teacher Recruitment cont.Each professional learning community is assigned a chairperson and an SLT member. These two individuals become the voice of the team and leaders among the staff. They help to guide school improvement. Each professional learning community is provided one 60 minute planning block and three 30 minute planning blocks throughout the week. In addition one Wednesday every month is a professional development day in which staff development is the focus. These days have been planned as a result of the Shamrock Gardens professional development needs assessment. Professional DevelopmentThe SEF and PLC’s will help determine the Professional Development needs at Shamrock. We have formed a professional development team to help with the needs assessment of all staff for PD in 2010-2011. In addition this team was responsible for the need to implement Technology Tuesdays which will engage staff in a variety of technology sessions that will help them deliver instruction, gather data and utilize the many different technology tools at their disposal. These sessions will be differentiated to address all areas of concern for staff members. The entire staff was trained in Data Wise in 2009-2010 and was given a refresher in 2010-2011 because of the importance of data as an established way to increase student achievement. Shamrock’s PD plan will address many different areas that teachers determine they need help with and will utilize many different teachers as leaders in this format. (See Professional Development Plan)School Leadership TeamThe School Leadership Team, Family and Student Services Team, Instructional Leadership Team and the PTA are all in place to work together to make decisions for the school. Parents are invited to join the School Leadership Team and encouraged to join the PTA. The School Leadership Team develops the academic goals and professional development and after sharing those plans with staff, consensus is met by the entire staff to put the final plan together.

Students are invited to come and they complete an activity with the Kindergarten teachers. This provides them with an introduction to Kindergarten and our Kindergarten teachers. To give parents many opportunities to visit Shamrock we conduct several Open Houses for Kindergarten parents at different times during the day. We also used a staggered entry process to allow teachers to assess incoming kindergarteners while providing more individual attention during the first week of school. Teachers administer the Kindergarten Entry Profile, (KEP) along with baseline results from Kindergarten DIBELS assessments to assist with early identification of students learning strengths and needs. The school psychologist receives a “Transition to Kindergarten” form for Pre-K students that are EC or experiencing difficulties. These students are given services immediately upon entrance to Kindergarten. The classroom teacher and the school psychologist conference to begin planning interventions for these students. Middle School Transition StrategiesCounselors and principals from feeder middle schools come in to discuss student schedules, transitions and expectations for current 5th graders. 5th Graders visit middle schools to get an idea of how the middle school operates. In addition middle school transition IEP meetings are held for all rising EC 6th graders. The SSS meets individually with each rising 6th grader to ensure appropriate class placements and to discuss schedules.Transitions to Next GradeAfter EOG’s we have a Step Up Day in which each class will go up to the next grade level and learn about the curriculum, talk to the teachers, and get an idea of what it is like to be a ____ grader. On this day we have the counselors come from different feeder middle schools to talk to our 5th grade students. SCHOOL PARTNERSHIPSShamrock Gardens actively recruits faith organizations, local businesses and local civilian groups to develop partnerships. We encourage organizations to visit the school and provide orientation to share Shamrock’s vision and plan to increase student achievement. Partners are offered various opportunities to assist with academic, attendance and behavior programs. They serve as student mentors, reading buddies, sponsors, chaperones, classroom helpers and testing proctors throughout the school year. Donations of school uniforms, school supplies, book bags, and other needed items are provided. St. Luke United Methodist Church sponsors the Hand in Hand Orchestra and hosts an annual barbeque and bake sale to support Shamrock students, staff and parents. CMS showcases the St. Luke partnership as a model for how faith based organizations can have a huge impact on student achievement.
