Cypress Creek High School April 19, 2043 HAND DELIVERED Delmas Brown Cypress Creek Fah School « Dear Mr. Brown: : Pursuant to the provisions of Florida Statute 1012: 34, | am writing to, inform you that based upon the final review of-your progress, ‘you have failed to correct the performance ‘deficiencies as identifi ed i in 1 YOHE ninety: (90). days Professional . Development Plan.:: - : Segoe Relations at 317- 3239. ee Sincerely, oe Susan Storch, Principal E Cypress Creek High. Scho Area Superintendent Employee Relations 1101 Bear Crossing Drive, Orlando, Florida 32824 (407) 852-3400 Orange County Public Schools “The Orange County Schoo! Board is an equal opportunity agency” 90 Day Probationary Performance Plan A meeting was held with Delmas Brown on December 14, 2012, to initiate the 90 day Probationary Performance Plan (PPP). Each strategy to be improved, the improvement objectives, the action plan and time line along with assistance to be provided were outlined and addressed in detail with him. The plan required Mr. Brown to request assistance as needed from the principal, members of the administrative team, as well as the instructional coaches, his department members, or any support personnel with expertise in the specific areas needing improvement. On Jan 30, 2013, the instructional coach met with Mr. Brown to provide one-on-one instruction on writing clear, student — friendly learning goals and specific scales. She followed up with several visits (Feb 1, 21, 23, and Mar 4, 2013} to his classroom to check his progress in writing clear learning goals and scales. On each occasion she coached Mr. Brown on how to improve the goals, Mr, Brown also received assistance on several occasions from Dr. Haye, our testing coordinator and expert on Progress Book, She met with him to provide one-on-one training on Progress Book, howto enter grades etc., on Jan 9, and 11, 2013 and weekly during February. Each time Mr. Brown reported that everything was fine, She checked Progress Book to see if students grades were entered correctly and they were not. Throughout the school year Mr. Brown met weekly with members of his department to plan units of study, discuss student progress, and review curriculum. The 90 Day PPP concluded on April 12, 2013 with the following results: Providing clear learning goals and scales: Mr. Brown updated his board frequently but for the most part the learning goal remained the same and was not written in the correct format. It was common to see activities included in the goal along with a lengthy detailed statement of knowledge to be learned. The goal was seldom written in student friendly language. Tracking progress: Mr. Brown has a generic scale posted. The students know where the learning goal and scale are posted. Mr. Brown does not always refer to the scale nor does he demonstrate monitoring of progress on the scale toward the learning goal. Mr. Brown has failed to accurately record student progress In Progress Book, Many students do not have test scores recorded in the correct section of Progress Book and what test scores are recorded are different from the test/quiz scores in Learn Key the software program, the students are working in. The scores are not recorded in a timely fashion. Often weeks pass between the time the test is completed in Learn Key and the score is recorded in Progress Book. Withitness: : Mr. Brown did watch a video on “withitness” within the resource section of the iObservation website. Mr. Brown did increase his efforts to circulate during class but many students were frequently on other websites and not engaged in the learning. Mr. Brown was unaware, unsure what to do, or did not attempt to reengage the students. Notice when students are not engaged: Mr. Brown did review a video in iObservation on strategies to use “when students were not engaged”. He also submitted a reflection on the video in accordance with the PPP. Mr. Brown did increase his efforts to notice when students were not engaged in the lesson but the strategies he used to reengage the students in learning were generally negative, and punitive in nature. He would give directions and comments loudly to the individual student and which could be heard by all students and observers present. Following established standards: Mr. Brown met weekly with members of the Business Department. At each meeting weekly lesson plans which follow curriculum standards were discussed and provided for him. Mr. Brown failed to follow the plans. Frequent visits to his classroom for informal observations found Mr. Brown to be repeatedly teaching the same lesson on parts of a computer. Conclusion: Mr. Brown was unable to make adequate improvements in correcting the deficiencies in his 90 Probationary Performance Plan. He has not demonstrated proficiency or even improvement in the areas of writing clear learning goals and scales, tracking student progress accurately and efficiently in Progress Book, He does not effectively keep students engaged in the lesson and the energy level inthe classroom is low. Students are frequently not engaged, looking at internet sites, have their heads down, or talking off task. Mr. Brown fails to engage students in the lessan other than using negative comments to individuals. Mr. Brown is provided weekly lesson plans that follow established standards. He teaches the same lesson over and over. Students have made little progress in the curriculum as evidenced by few scores in Learn Key or Progress Book.
