OUTCOMES	ACTIVITIES	RESOURCES/ RESEARCH TOOLS NEEDED	RESPONSIBILIY TO ADDRESS ACTIVITIES	TIME LINE	Benchmarks/ ASSESSMENT	Revisions to SIP/ PIP based on monitoring and assessments
-Determine whether or not the DAEP is effective for long-term elementary students.	-Examine data of long-term elementary students. Data will be both previous and on-going assessments and grades.	-Previous assessments/test scores and grades of students entering into the DAEP	-Natalie Stewart (me)	-Beginning August 27, 2012		- Begin to formulate a more definite solution if there is a problem.
-Show that elementary students at the DAEP do not loose academic ground.	-Collect assessments (benchmarks, milestones, etc.) of students while at the L.C.	-Pre-test and post-test	-Keith Adams (building principal and site supervisor)	-Ending June 6, 2013		-Determine pros and cons of plausible solutions with site supervisor.
	-Continually monitor the academic progress of students.	-Computer spread sheet such as Excel	-Donna McAda (Administrative Officer)	-The steps in between start and end will be determined as students enter and leave the Learning Center.		-Identify pit-falls before implementing solution.
	-Share findings with other faculty and staff (particularly elementary teachers),	-I will need last years STAAR test results as well as the pre-tests and post-tests we will be giving the students as they enter and leave the L.C.	-Debbie Shewmake (Administrative Officer)
	-Schedule collaborative meetings with site supervisor.	-I will need background information on each student such as what home school they attend, their home room teacher, and the reason they were sent to the DAEP,
	Engage in self-reflection and ask reflective questions.	-Students will be given some form of self-reflection/assessment to find out their opinions on their progress while at the L.C.
