What is the CEP?
The Comprehensive Educational Plan (CEP) is the primary document for sharing a school’s ongoing improvement planning efforts. SLTs are required to develop an annual school CEP that is within the limits of the school-based budget and includes goals and objectives that meet the needs of the students and the school’s accountability status requirements. The Comprehensive Educational Plan is meant to be a tool to guide continuous improvement planning–to support schools in engaging their staff, parents, students, and community partners in identifying and ranking school needs; setting measurable improvement goals; selecting appropriate strategies to improve student academic performance; monitoring progress toward meeting annual goals; and communicating these efforts to the broader school community. |
PS 39 CEP Goals:
Rigorous Instruction - By June 2019, 100% of teachers in grades K-5 will analyze and revise Engage NY math curriculum to better meet the needs of students, including modifications for specific student groups, such as students with disabilities and English language learners. In particular, each grade will focus on three units that support mastery of focus standards. Supportive Environment - By June 2019, 100% of staff will have experienced, as participants, two restorative circles by a trained facilitator, and every class in grades K-5 will practice routines restorative circles. Collaborative Teachers - By June 2019, classroom teachers will closely examine and vertically align writing standards and rubrics in expository writing. This practice will provide a framework for writing narrative and opinion rubrics. Effective School Leadership - By June 2019, a designated Vision Development Team comprised of multiple stakeholders will create a school-wide vision statement that provides an aspirational description of what PS 39 would like to achieve over the course of the next five years. We will use Design Thinking, a research-based protocol that focuses on empathy, ideation and feedback. Strong Family and Community Ties - By June 2019, there will be an increase in family engagement opportunities through education outreach and celebration for targeted population as measured by surveys and attendance at events. |
PS 39 Vision Design Project
This school year our SLT has been dedicated to creating a Vision Statement. This vision was developed through interviews and input from our community including parents, teachers, administration, staff, students, alumni and other stakeholders in the wider community.
Our Vision Statement is designed to set a guiding purpose for what we, as a school community, aspire to achieve over the next five years.
The vision statement creation process involved:
Draft Vision Statement:
PS 39 will support collaboration, inquiry, discussion, and exploration as a means to help every learner reach their highest potential. Educators will empower students to problem solve independently. Students will critically assess their own learning and share with peers, families, and staff. All community members will engage in partnership to foster connections that nurture kind, inclusive, and socially responsible citizens. Each year, we will focus our school-wide efforts toward achieving this vision as a community.
