Farmington Central Elementary School

2005-2006

Areas of Success

• ISAT scores have increased over last year in nearly every subject and at nearly every grade level.
• We continue to offer a variety of educational services to our children and community, including gifted education, special education services, Title 1 reading support, and specialists in the teaching of physical education and the fine arts.
• Curriculum guides are in place and being used by teachers to align their teaching to meet Illinois Learning Standards.
• Monthly Recognition Assemblies
• Increased technology opportunities for students

Areas for Planned Improvement

• ISAT scores for learning disabled children in reading and mathematics show a need for improvement. Additional training has been scheduled through Two Rivers Professional Development Center to assist our teaching staff.
• We will continue to work to integrate staff and work cooperatively at each grade level, sharing resources and working to strengthen the curriculum by having grade level and content subject meetings weekly.
• We will try to increase contacts with parents and communicate about our new building and procedures.
• Increased collaboration between regular education and special education teachers.
