MANLEY CAREER ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL Journey to World Class
History of Manley This building was opened in April 1927, as the Hugh Manley Junior High School. In July 1933, the Manley Junior High School was reorganized into a Senior High School with an elementary school housed within the building. The two school levels functioned together for ten years. In 1943, the elementary school moved to another location and the senior high school operated alone in the building until January 1944. At this time, the U.S. Navy took over the facility to develop programs designed for and to aid in the war effort. The high school students then in membership were transferred to neighboring schools, such as Marshall, Harrison, and Farragut. The Navy occupied the building through the end of the war. In January 1946, the school became a trade and vocational high school, better known today as Cregier Vocational High School. The trade school was relocated in September 1957 and Manley was once again made into an elementary school for grades kindergarten through 6th, and was also used to house an upper grade center for 7th and 8th grades. In June 1969, the elementary school was phased out and in its place a branch of Marshall High School was established. In June 1973, the Board of Education designated Manley as a Senior High School and approved phasing out the upper grade center. The last eighth graders graduated in August 1975. The new school year witnessed Manley as a senior high school encompassing grades 9 through 12. The first senior high school graduating class left Manley in June 1976. At this point in time, the school population had risen to 1,831 form 990 students in 1973-1974. Manley High School was designated as a General High School in June 1973, and began operating as such in September 1973. At the turn of the century, with several community partnerships such as Bell Laboratories, Ryerson Steel, and Operation PUSH, Manley focused on preparing its students for the work force and became Manley Career and Preparatory Community Academy High School. Today, Manley Career Academy High School in partnership with CPS Department of Career and Technical Education (CTE) continues to prepare students for their lives beyond the classroom by equipping them with the skills and knowledge needed to succeed in post-secondary education, advanced career training or immediate entry into jobs with a meaningful career path. After students have successfully completed their first year of high school, students will choose one of the three CTE Career Programs in which to participate. Students will take a three-course sequence in that career program and receive basic to advanced hands-on training in the following areas; Medical, Carpentry, and Culinary Arts.

CIWP Strategic Priorities #

Priority Description: Write in the description of your priority.
Rationale: Write in your rationale (see instructions for guiding questions).
Strategically align the Manley curriculum and assessment framework to the Common Core State Standards while horizontally improving EPAS. (Including implementing supports and interventions to ensure correct services are provided to Manley's special needs population.)
Based on last year's data, we need to put an emphasis on student growth from entry as well as plan a curriculum that focuses on critical thinking and writing analysis. By strategically mapping out the CCSS and aligning them to the CRS assessment we will begin to improve students ability to think analytically and problem solve.
Improve the learning climate (behavior, safety, and school culture) by creating and monitoring organic systems that effectively increase student attendance; improve student on-track rates; promote positive relationships and behaviors; and prepare students for post-secondary success.
In order to adequately prepare students for college and career readiness, students must have opportunities to recover skills and classes that need remediation. We also believe that we can effectively improve attendance by creating a school program that supports our school's attendance growth and development plan.
Effectively partner with parents, guardians, and Manley's school enrollment has declined community members to develop Manley students exponentially over the last five years. We believe that in order to develop a high performing school and families and increase student enrollment. that we must partner with parents and the community to increase involvement and provide supports. Increase student achievement and develop teachers through the CPS REACH Evaluation system.
Though we have used Danielson at Manley during the 2011-2012 school year, it is going to be important that we create a culture that is targeted toward developing teachers so that they can effectively increase student achievement.

MANLEY CAREER ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL Staff Policies and Procedures 2012-2013 Manley Hallway Policy and Procedure Rationale and Goal: Through the implementation of the Manley Wildcat Ways (Respect, Responsibility, and Reflection) into hallway procedures we will establish a safe and orderly environment that fosters ideal student learning conditions. Student Guidelines for Success: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.
Arrive to class before the bell rings or the Hall-Sweep music ends. Always take the most direct route to your next class. Walk and Talk; do not loiter in the hallway. When transitioning between classes walk on the right hand side in order to assist the flow of traffic. Follow uniform and electronics policies Use respectful language in the hallway. Avoid aggressive physical behavior even if you are just joking. Do what staff members ask you to do when they request that you correct a behavior.
Hierarchy of Student Consequences: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Verbal reminder Verbal reprimand Positive practice, asking the student to demonstrate appropriate behavior Brief delay for a restorative chat Referral to Dean’s office for insubordination only
Teacher Encouragement Menu: • Smile & show enthusiasm for being at Manley • Greet students and use their names when possible • Establish eye contact and smile at the students’ • Use positive gestures such as thumbs ups, hi-fives, head nods, deuces, fist bumps etc. • Initiate conversations surrounding student interests • Assign responsibilities to student demonstrating appropriate behavior • Student Incentives (by individual, classroom, grade-level, or school-wide) • Acknowledge ”Random Acts of Responsible Behavior,” especially when you observe a student that has made a positive improvement • Be aware of saying negative things “nicely” as well as the tone you use in communicating with students • Quarterly Postcards recognizing outstanding behavior • Positive phone calls to parents • Using grade level bulletin boards to post encouragements
30
MANLEY CAREER ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL Staff Policies and Procedures 2012-2013 Manley Hallway Policy and Procedure (continued) Staff Supervision Responsibilities: Supervision is the alert, proactive ability of a true professional to circulate within a group of students. It involves interacting in a positive and constructive way, scanning for potential problems, diffusing them before they arise, and motivating students to do their best while also monitoring their own behavior. While in the hallways staff members should interact positively with students as they pass by. The goal is to achieve a rate of 3 positive interactions for every negative interaction (3:1). Teachers are required to be actively present in the hallways at their classroom entrances for all passing periods before and after each of their instructional periods. This time should be used to document attendance, check uniform and electronic compliance, greet students, and generally model appropriate behaviors. Passing periods are not the time for student-teacher conferences since such conferences would result in students being tardy to their next period class. Conferences should be scheduled during gradelevel lunches or before or after school. When the bell rings at the end of a passing period all teachers in each Manley hallway should close their doors at the exact same time. During their weekly meetings each intervention team will work out the logistics of staffing for their respective grade-level hallways during passing periods. Staff members are responsible for being in their hallway spots during passing periods as designated by their respective intervention/SLC team hallway plans. If a student violates one or more of the Guidelines for Success, use a respectful but firm voice to inform her/him of what she/he should be doing. Point out the appropriate behavior the student needs to exhibit. Every effort should be made to keep the situation from escalating. For example, use humor to diffuse the situation. If you are unable to be in the hallway during a scheduled passing period please promptly communicate this information to your Intervention Team Lead so that appropriate arrangements can be made. Do not consider the following as signs of insubordination: • • • • •
Avoidance of eye contact Rolling eyes Smirks or facial expressions Signs of frustration Mumbling
31
MANLEY CAREER ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL Staff Policies and Procedures 2012-2013 Manley Hall-Sweep Policy and Procedure Hall-Sweeps will be regularly performed during passing periods beginning with third period. Music will be played during the four minute passing period. Once the passing period music ends all teachers in a hallway will shut their doors at the exact same time. Any students remaining in the hallway are caught in the Hall-Sweep. For each passing period Hall-Sweep conducted each grade level team will assign one team member to either facilitate the Hall-Sweep or scan student IDs. The team member assigned to the Hall-Sweep will first direct grade-level students in the grade’s hallway towards the designated Hall-Sweep scanning location. Junior and sophomore students will be scanned in the corridor at 2 Center. Freshmen and senior students will be scanned at 3 Center. Thus, junior and sophomore SLC members will alternate scanning and facilitating duties each period. Likewise, freshman and senior team members will alternate these duties. At the same time security and administration will ensure that the tardy students comply with the Hall-Sweep procedures. Once students have been scanned security and administration will lead the students back to their classes. In general, each teacher should only be required to participate in one Hall-Sweep per day and should only need to commit a maximum of fifteen minutes to that Hall-Sweep. Teachers will not be required to engage noncompliant students. Facilitating teachers need only direct students towards the proper location. Scanning teachers need only scan student IDs. The goal is to demonstrate that all Manley staff believes that timely class attendance is a priority. If consistently enforced from the beginning of the year the teacher responsibility associated with HallSweeps should diminish over the course of the year. Moreover, teachers will be spending a disproportionate amount of instructional time dealing with tardy students. If the scanners or VERIFY software malfunction please inform a staff member with a walkie-talkie immediately. They will in turn inform administration and immediate action will be taken. Administration will man the scanning desks and manually record the tardy students. As soon as possible these student names will be recorded in VERIFY.

MANLEY CAREER ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL FIRE AND DISASTER DRILL SAFETY PROCEDURES Whenever the fire alarm bell sounds, staff and students are to follow the directions listed below: 1. Classroom Teachers, Coaches, and Activity Sponsors must follow the evacuation procedures outlined in the safety plan folders specific to each classroom or building location. 2. Teachers, coaches, and sponsors are to have their safety plan folders in their possession at all times. 3. Teachers are to stay outside with their class, keeping them under control and out of the street until the allclear bell is sounded or the signal to return to the building is given by a school administrator. The all-clear bell is one long continuous ring. 4. Once the all-clear signal has been given, teachers are to escort their students back into their classroom, EVEN IF THE FIRE DRILL HAS SPILLED OVER INTO THE NEXT PERIOD. Students are to be seated and attendance is to be taken. Names of students not returning from the fire drill are to be sent to the Attendance Office, room 133. Students who were in the Library, Lunchroom, or the Auditorium when the fire alarm sounded are to return to those locations under the direct supervision of staff members who were also in those locations when the alarm sounded. After all has settled down, then and only then will the bell be rung signaling the time to change classes. Four minutes are allowed before the tardy bell sounds. From that point on, the regular bell schedule is to be followed for that day. This means that the period following the fire drill may only be several minutes. 5.

MANLEY CAREER ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER EVALUATION PLAN AND PROCEDURES What is REACH students? The Chicago Public Schools (CPS) is proud to announce - REACH (Recognizing Educators Advancing CHicago) Students – our new, comprehensive teacher evaluation system. The Performance Evaluation Reform Act (PERA) that passed in January 2010 mandated that CPS establish a new teacher evaluation system in the 2012-13 school year. Rather than think of this as a mandate, CPS took this as an opportunity to build an evaluation system that provides teachers with the clarity, support, and feedback they need to achieve excellence in their professional practice. REACH students is focused on recognizing the critically important role that educators play in preparing Chicago students for success in college and career. REACH further empowers teachers by providing them with the tools and supports they need to improve their practice and boost student learning. It will replace the current 40-year-old outdated evaluation system that is disconnected from the needs and vision of today's teachers and classrooms. What are the goals of REACH students? The goals of REACH students are to: • Establish a common definition and standards for teaching excellence. • Build principals' and/or teachers leaders' expertise in observing and analyzing instruction to support teacher growth. • Provide teachers with information and guidance to inform their development • Engage teachers in reflection and self-assessment regarding their own performance • Differentiate support and accountability for teachers based on their experience and/or impact on student learning. • Create a culture of continuous improvement among teachers, school leaders, system administrators and students. What are the components of REACH students? REACH students is based on multiple measures—that is, no single measure will determine a teachers' overall performance rating. The three major components include: • Teacher Practice • Student Growth • Student Feedback Teacher Practice The anchor of the teacher practice component is the new CPS Framework for Teaching. Modeled after the Charlotte Danielson's 2011 Framework for Teaching—the CPS Framework for Teaching was revised in collaboration with CTU and Charlotte Danielson to emphasize its connections to the Common Core State Standards and to reiterate high standards for teachers and students.
45
The CPS Framework for Teaching will serve as a roadmap for good teaching and the foundation for administrators to observe and provide teachers constructive, meaningful feedback about their practice throughout the school year. For more information on the teacher practice component of REACH Students, please click here. Click here to download a copy of the CPS Framework for Teaching. Click here to down load a copy of the CPS Framework for Teaching Placemat Student Growth Student growth will be measured in two ways – through the use of standardized assessments and through the use of teacher designed performance tasks. Using multiple measures of student growth creates a more comprehensive picture of a teacher's impact on student growth. Student growth will be measured in multiple ways. Standardized Measures At the elementary level, student growth will be measured through the use of a value-added growth methodology – the most widely used methodology with the largest research based. For more information on the value-added methodology, please click here. At the high school level, student growth will be measured through the use of an EPAS expected gains model. EPAS expected gains will be implemented with no stakes in the 2012-2013 school year. For more information on EPAS expected gains, please click here. REACH students also contains a school-wide component literacy component. This component was incorporated to emphasize the importance of all teachers working collaboratively to boost students' skills in this critical area. For more information on school-wide literacy, please click here. Performance Tasks The second measure of student growth are performance tasks customized by grade level and subject area. Performance tasks will be administered at the beginning and end of year to assess student mastery of standards specific to the content area, course and grade level. For more information on Performance Tasks, please click here. Student Feedback Student feedback will be measured through the use of student surveys. CPS will implement a survey without stakes in the 2012-2013 school year that will help inform implementation in the 2013-2014 school year. For more information on Student Feedback, please click here.
46
How will REACH students be implemented in the 2012-2013 School Year? REACH students represents a significant and positive enhancement in the support all CPS educators receive, which all CPS teachers will experience and benefit from next year. The CPS Framework for Teaching provides a common definition of effective teaching and standards for excellence, which will be used by all teachers and administrators to engage in meaningful discussion following classroom observations. CPS will phase in the implementation of REACH students. This is part of our purposeful and responsible plan to ensure a high quality implementation of the evaluation system from the beginning and over time. Our primary focus in year one will be on implementation of the teacher practice component, which is key to increasing student achievement. At the elementary school level, teacher practice will comprise 75 percent of a teacher's overall summative performance rating and student growth will comprise 25 percent of a teacher's overall summative rating, which is the minimum required by Illinois state law. At the high school level, teacher practice will comprise the majority of a teacher's summative performance rating. Student growth (based on performance tasks) will also be included in the overall performance rating for teachers in core subjects. In the 2012-2013 school year, CPS will maintain its biennial evaluation plan but will move toward a plan in which all teachers are evaluated annually. This is based on our belief that it is critical for teachers to receive feedback on their practice every year – and more than once in a given school year.

Verify Student Logger Verify’s Student Logger features a comprehensive home page with a large array of data and features. Similar in appearance to the rest of Verify.NET, the Student Logger allows you to easily track and monitor student behavior and incidents.
Creating New Logs Creating a new Student Log is less complicated than it may seem at first. From your home page you will click on Student View. Figure 1a – Creating a New Log from the home page
Figure 1b-Viewing the Student Page On the Student Entries screen, you will need to use the search to look up your student. Once you have selected your student, their Student Information will populate. If they have any previous logs those will display at the bottom of the page. To create a new log, click on New Log Entry.
Address: 7250 W Higgins Avenue
48
When creating the log there are two sections. The top section shows the typical Student Information box that we have seen in some of the previous screens. The bottom section which is the Create New Log section is filled with textboxes and dropdowns for detailed Log information creation. Figure 1c- Creating a New Log Log Type and Sublog Type are dropdowns that allow you to decide what specific type of Student Log you are entering. The Short Title textbox dictates what you and everyone else will see at the top of the page or in a list of Logs on a screen. This is the main identifier of your Student Log. The Comments box is for detailed descriptions of the Log’s contents. On the right of the box, we find Privacy and Status drop-downs, which allow you to set who is allowed to read the Log, and the Read/Unread Status, respectively. You are able to type in the Location, Date/Time and Co-Editor for the incident, if necessary. Once you have filled out the appropriate boxes you can click Create New Log or Create Log and Go to Notifications. If you just click Create New Log, it will direct you back to your homepage where you are able to see the log. If you click Create New Log and Go to Notifications you will see your log that you created, and a new set of options will appear. Here you can type a message for a recipient and choose any other staff member that you would like to view this log. Once you have completed this information click Create Notification.
