NARRATIVE

At Winfield City Schools, we follow a continuous improvement process. Our administration takes full advantage of the eProve platform diagnostic strategies, and has successfully been able to improve over time. Winfield City Schools expects to continue our improvement each year by implementing these strategies and taking quality time to self-assess.

STE(A)M plays a central role in our growth process as we work toward recertification and aim for STEM standards as our guide. Winfield City School is aware that continuous improvement is essential for institutional growth in general and STE(A)M areas. For example, the schools each use the eProve Diagnostics, hold contracts with TEAMS teachers, complete an Alabama Continuous Improvement Plan with both school leaders and stakeholders, set STEM-related goals, and self-assess throughout the school year.

Integrating Title I and STE(A)M criteria is a key component of Winfield City Schools. We continuously collaborate with representatives of every stakeholder group. These may include, but are not limited to parents, community partners, students, educators, and leaders. In order to follow best practices, Winfield City encourages teams across the school system to follow similar patterns of continuous improvement in their own spheres of influence.

Strengths: Winfield City Schools strengths with this standard are in Implementation and Engagement. Winfield uses the eProve Diagnostic and our Annual Title I Review to self-assess the school system's continuous improvement.

Opportunities to Improve: Results and Sustainability are two areas where we need to improve. We send out multiple surveys to teachers and students throughout the year. We have great participation in the surveys, and we are striving to analyze the results more in-depth in years to come.
