We will evaluate current and future academic, social emotional and behavioral needs of our learners in order to align, design and  implement structures for multi-tiered systems of support. 

Aligned to CISD Core Values:  Great Teaching and Authentic Relationships

Current Reality:  CISD is continuing to build and grow in the structures set up for campuses with Professional Learning Communities.  This includes some of the following areas:

• Tier I instructional strategies to strengthen classroom instruction
• Small group instruction and supporting learners who need intervention or enrichment support
• Data analysis and using specific data tools such as NWEA MAP, iStation, Dreambox, mClass, Panorama surveys and other tools to review progress and growth
• Collaborative team time where educators come together to review data and have intentional conversations about learners’ strengths and areas of growth

Considerations:  CISD will continue to look at specific ways we can grow and sustain our practices with professional learning communities.  This might include:

• Strengthening our Multi-Tiered Systems of Support encompassing our Response to Intervention Model of how we are monitoring progress for Tier II and Tier III learners
• Continue providing training to CISD staff on professional learning communities and how we can align and support our practices across campuses in the district and partner with families in communicating how these processes support their child (Solution Tree training, Crucial Conversations training, CISD Learning Academies, Universal Design for Learning)
• Continue providing training to staff in the areas of special education, 504 services, emergent bilingual services, gifted and talented services to help support all needs of learners and specifically how we are intervening, accommodating and identifying specific needs and areas of growth
• Continue our goals with Panorama Student Success Platform to have a more holistic approach to data collection and monitoring of learners across the district (academic, behavioral and social emotional needs)

We will strengthen collaboration, communication and partnerships of district departments by purchasing or constructing a facility to create a common workspace environment which also allows for space to provide professional learning for staff across the district.

Aligned to CISD Core Values:  Great Teaching and Authentic Relationships

Current Reality:  CISD currently houses district personnel in three separate buildings due to lack of space to house all departments and staff in one common location. (Administration building, Roy C. Brock building and the Service Center building) 

The following have been areas of need due to current reality:

• The three separate buildings have created a strain at times concerning communication and collaboration opportunities for district departments in partnering to work together 
• There is limited space in these current buildings in the district to pull large groups of people together for training opportunities, meetings and district events (this includes when inviting others from outside of the district to Coppell)
• CISD has to rely on campuses and outside community facilities at times to use for trainings and meetings. (scheduling conflicts for facilities often arise)

Considerations:  CISD will continue to look at specific ways we can maximize current spaces while exploring ways to meet the increasing needs listed above. This might include:

• The purchase of an already existing facility in the boundaries of CISD which would meet the needs of housing personnel and providing for collaboration and training/meetings spaces for staff and the community (This could be a building that is then renovated to meet the varied needs for office space and collaboration/training areas) 
• The restructuring of current CISD facility in the district to meet our varied needs  
• The construction of a new multipurpose building facility in the boundaries of CISD which is designed to meet the needs of housing personnel and providing for collaboration and training/meeting spaces for staff and the community   
• Creating a plan for what buildings/land within the district could possibly be sold if a larger facility is purchased or constructed

• We have seen growth in number of learners participating and meeting eligibility in our Pre-K/Early childhood program (large number of our learners meet the eligibility of Emergent Bilingual)
• We have worked to align curriculum and resources and provided training to staff who support Pre-K/Early Childhood
• Our current campuses housing Pre-K/Early Childhood are:  Lakeside Elementary, Austin Elementary, Wilson Elementary and Denton Creek Elementary
• We are currently limited in some of our campus needs supporting PK/Early Childhood (smaller playground equipment and outside play areas to meet needs, increased classroom/cafeteria furniture needs as numbers have increased, space for housing learners in our southern campuses due to overall enrollment at campuses) 

Considerations:  CISD will continue to look at best ways to support our current program and look at expansion opportunities.  This might include:

• Survey of the CISD community and staff to see interest in expanding eligibility for Pre-K/Early Childhood (this could include opening eligibility to children of CISD staff, open eligibility to open enrollment families, possibly charging tuition if we become certified by the state campuses/Early Childhood facility)
• Constructing a CISD Early Childhood Facility - housing all Pre-K/Early Childhood learners, staff to support and possibly some other district personnel - would be designed to specifically meets the needs of our young learners (bathroom needs, playground needs, classroom space, physical education/fine arts needs, specialized supports for special education learners, etc.)
