Westlake Academy 2. Describe the targeted staff size and the teacher -to -student ratio. A low student/teacher ratio of 1:15 will be maintained at all grade levels. 3. Identify the proposed faculty and staff if possible„ With the exception of the position of Superintendent/ Executive Director, all faculty and staff will be new hires and cannot be identified at this time. 4. Explain the method that will be used to evaluate the faculty and staff. The Professional Development and Appraisal System (PDAS), recommended by the Texas Education Commission, will be used to evaluate teachers. The PDAS appraisal framework is considered especially appropriate for teachers because the PDAS criteria acknowledge broad-based tasks that teachers routinely perform that are beyond classroom teaching duties. Each teacher will be appraised each school year. Domains of the PDAS for teacher evaluation include: • Active, Successful Student Participation in the Learning Process • Learner -Centered Instruction • Evaluation and Feedback on Student Progress • Management of Student Discipline, Instructional StrategiES, Time and Materials • Professional Communication • Professional Development • Compliance with Policies, Operating Procedures and Requirements • Improvement of Academic Pe formance of All Students on the Campus Once the state implements the TexBESS appraisal system, t')e school administration will utilize this system Non -teaching, administrative staff members will be evaluated in accordance with provisions of Subchapter BB issued under the Texas Education Code, §21.345 and §39.054, and the 38 Westlake Academy Viii. Statement of Need (Scored by Review Committee) A. Why is there a need of this type of school? What evidence exists that there is a sufficient demand for the educational program you are proposing? After careful consideration of the educational goals cf this diverse community, the Board concluded that the program developed by the International Baccalaureate Organization (iBO) would best match the needs of this area and, therefore, will be adopted by the Westlake Academy. This program, offered throughow the world, promotes academic achievement and responsible citizenship. The International Baccalaureate (IB) program was originally developed in Switzerland thirty years ago as a rigorous course of study for motivated secondary students. Recently, the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO) developed and endorsed a Middle Years Program (MYP), which fulfills and enhances the mission identified for the Westlake Academy. The iB program is the perfect progre:m to be offered in the backyard of the Alliance Airport corridor international community where many international corporations have established their corporate offices. B. Explain why the charter school model is the appropriate vehicle 'to address this need. The primary reason why the charter school model is the appropriate vehicle to address this need is to ensure that all young people, regardless of their socioeconomic background, have the opportunity to participate. While there are several private schools in the area, the tuition causes the schools to be cost prohibited to many families. According to local parents, the problems faced by families who desire a rigorous, international language curriculum are deep and the academic gap is wide. Although there are many, many excellent teachers, they are so pulled to address all the needs of the varied instructional levels found in the classrooms of inclusions. Students and parents are fearful that students are at great risk for not reaching their tree potentials—they are lost in the cracks of today's educational system. Accelerated academic education indeed faces a gUiet crisis as educational reform movements focus on cosmetic administrative change rather than teachers, students and the material to be learned. Parents can join organizations; they can serve on school committE es; they can volunteer endless hours in their child school, and still the students' needs are rot 53 Westlake Academy for the 19th century than the 21st century has caused a subs"lantial call for reform. As Darling -Hammond argues, "Children can reap the benefits ol" current knowledge about teaching and learning only if schools and schools, of education are dramatically redesigned. Westlake Academy is making 21 sincere effort to redesign program. Critically needed effo,-ts are being implemented with the school context to meet thOSE! challenges. Westlake Academy is dedicated to leaving no student behind. C. Discuss the educational innovations that will distinguish this school from other schools. The curriculum is designed as a comprehensive program that allows its graduates to fulfill requirements of various national systems of education. IBO is based on the pattern of no single country. It provides students of different linguistic cultures, and educational backgrounds with the intellectual social and attitudinal perspectives necessary for the challenged and opportunities that lie ahead of them in a contemporary, international society. The Middle School curriculum has the same commitment and rigor to a holistic view of knowledge that is found throughout the world in the highly successful high school program. The success of the high school program has been derrionstrated at approximately 200 schools in the United States and over 500 schools throughout the world, ninety percent of which are public school. The IB curriculum stresses rigorous academic study and the equally important development of life skills, discID11nes ;,,3nd a sense of social —fes� �ifty�.e �inent �is`astukints s disciplines_ to analyze, how to reach considered conclusion about people, their language and literature, their ways in society, and r the scientific forces of the environment. At the beginning of each new course or topic of study, students will be given clear class/course objectives and the methods by which they will be accessed. The 113 program is a deliberate compromise between the preference for specialization in some countries and the emphasis on breadth often preferred in others. The educational aim of the International Baccalaureate Organization is to awaken the intelligence of student and teach them to relate the content of the classroom to the realities of the world outside. By emphasizing the dynamic combination of knowledge, skills, experience and critical thinking, the 1130 promotes academic achievement, coupled with active and responsible citizenship. The program addresses the challenge of educating the whole person in preparation for life, engendering respect for 57 Westlake Academy the physical life of the body and delight in the life cf the mind as it engages the world in all its fullness and complexity. This program offers an approach to teaching and learning that embraces yet transcends the focus of traditional school subjects. While insisting upon thorough study of the various disciplines, the prograrn accentuates the interrelatedness of them and so advanc--s a holistic view of knowledge. This interdisciplinary perspective asks; the student to consider issues and problems in their wide scope, and to realize that food solutions often draw upon insights one has acquired from many sources. Put another way, the program shuns the fragmentation of knowledge that so often results when students move from biology to history to mathematics to technology as if the classes had nothing to do with each other. The education of t * he "whole person" takes on a special sigr,ificance as we proceed into the twenty-first century; when knowledge continues to expand dramatically; when advanced technologies, and global economics have tied together vastly different cultures; when the world is bound too closely for provincial ideologies to guide political thought; when to exist in a world community requires appreciation and understanding of cultural diversity: and when cooperation alone will solve global problems. It is essential that academic training provides students with the values and opportunities that enable them to succeed in the competitive, modern world. Westlake Academy will utilize the campus and its facilities to offer summer academic camps to area children, Westlake Academy students, as well as those students in surrounding public schools. The summer academic camps will focus heavily on the languages to provide a continuum of language immersion. Scholarships will be available, with nominations for such scholarships coming from area ISD Superintendents. Additionally, an optional semester study abroad program will be available for students. This facet of the high school program would be incorporated into the 1130 program to allow the student the benefit of total emersion in their second language and culture. Funds for this activity will be raised by the students during their high school years and placed in interest-bearing accounts; however, scholarship and financial aid will be available to ensure that no student is denied opportunity nor left behind. Finally, in an effort to provide a holistic approach between community and school, the Town of Westlake will form alliances with sister cities throughout Europe. Beginning with young pen pals, to collaborative research via the Internet, to an extensive exchange prograim, the fabric for strong strategic international alliances will be woven. 58 Westlake Academy XII. Educational Plan (Scored by Review Committee) A. Describe the educational program planned for the school. Indicate clearly how these areas will be strengthened over time.. 1. Tell how the program will incorporate •ahe required minimum curriculum as provided by Section 28.002, Texas Education Code. Describe the scope and sequence of the curriculum as delivered by the charter school with particular attention to the core curriculum, i.e., reading, mathematics, science and social studies. The foundation of the Westlake Academy vuill be based on Section 28.002 of the Texas Education Code. Westlake Academy will offer all grade levels a foundation curriculum that includes English, language arts, mathematics, science and social studies, consisting of Texas, United States and world history, government and geography. With Section 28.002 as the minimum curriculum guide, a balanced curriculum designed to meet individual needs of all students will be implemented. Additionally, Westlake Academy will provide an enrichment curriculum that includes health, physical education, fine arts, economics, career, technology education and applications and languages other than English. Each of these curricular areas - both foundation and enrichment - will Gaffer instruction in the essential knowledge and skills at appropriate levels. 2. Describe any unique curricular experiences to tie offered by the charter school that will enhance student success beyond the minimum curriculum. One way of understanding the fundamental perspective of the international Baccalaureate Organization is to remember the phrase, "and more." Students are expected to be well versed in traditional subject areas of the curriculum, and more — they are encouraged to appreciate the traditions of ether people and othE.-r places. Students are expected to havE; a firm command of language as a means of communication, and more — they are encouraged to develop admiration for the elegance and richness of human expression. Above all, the hope is that students will acquire a genuine love of learning and disciplined habit of mind and body that will guide their young adulthood and tie a source of strength and enjoyment throughout the whole of their lives. 65 Westlake Academy 5. Describe how the program will prepare students to meet state graduation requirements. All students attending Westlake Academy must complete at least 22 credits to receive a minimum high school program diploma.. To receive a high school diploma, a student must complete the requirements of the minimum high school ;grogram, as specified by statutory law; the recommended high school program, or the distinguished achievement program, as well as the testing requirements for graduation. Additionally, those students electing to participate in the international Baccalaureate Program must complete the course sequence and requirements of the internal 'Jonal program, including a 4,000 word essay, community service and foreign language. The Diploma Programme is a two-year course of study. The diplorr,a candidate of the IB program is required to complete six subjects, each normally studied over the period of two years; at least three and not more than four subjects must be offered at higher level and the others at standard level. The six subjects must normally tie chosen by selecting one from each of the six subject groups (First Language, Second Modern Language, Individuals and Societies, Experimental Sciences, Mathematics, and .'As and Electives). International baccalaureate diploma holders gain admission to colleges and universities throughout the wi,)rld. These include well- known European and American institutions such as Oxford, Yale and the Sorbonne, prestigious universities., in Latin American and the Asia/Pacific, and more recently established centers in developing parts of the world. Formal ag eements exist between the iBO and many ministries of education and private institutions. Some college and universities may offer advanced standing or course credit to students with strong lB examination results. ,.. The sequence of courses established by Westlake Academy will ensure that every student has received instruction in the areas that state law requires to be covered in the upcoming '11th grade exit - level test. Beginning in the 2002-2003 school year, the exit-ievel test will be administered in the 11th grade instead of the 10th grade and will assess a broader range and depth of subjects. In addition to the above graduation requirements, the SBOE now mandates that students pass the 11th grade exit -level test, along with their courses, to receive a high school diploma, If students do .:l TEXAS EDUCATION AGENCY 1701 North Con eress Ave.* Austin.
