0 Visionary Leadership

Description of Artifact

The tables and charts attached represent student office discipline referrals from the 2016-

2017 school year and the 2017-2018 school year. In August of 2017, the paper copies of office

discipline referrals from 2016-2017 school year were compiled, coded and analyzed to find

patterns in student behavior. During the 2017-2018 school year, student office discipline referral

data was entered in a district student information database on a weekly basis in order to allow for

continuous comparison and review of student office discipline referrals.

Alignment to ELCC Standard 1.0 Visionary Leadership

One aspect of our school vision that has remained consistent, is the desire to have a safe

learning environment. Each year when we review our vision and mission, safety is brought to the

forefront of discussions (ELCC 1.1). Throughout the year, I have collected and analyzed data on

student behavior. This data was used to assess whether we were meeting our school and district

goal of maintaining a safe learning environment (ELCC 1.2). Each month, I shared the data at

our school safety committee meeting and we discussed ways to change student behavior (ELCC

1.3). Based on the data, we revised our school discipline plan (ELCC 1.4).

Significance

As an educational leader, I will need to compiled, code and analyze data to evaluate

whether my school population is meeting local, state and national goals and expectations. I will

also need to be able to analyze data in order to make informed decisions about plans I will

implement to improve the school learning environment.

 A safe school climate is crucial for positive student learning experiences. One of the

Anchorage School District’s goals is for 100% of students to feel safe at school.

Destination 2020

Goal 5: Safety

100% of students will feel safe at school

Based on the student climate survey, at Eagle River Elementary, only 73% of the students in

Grades 3-5 reported feeling safe at school. Student discipline referrals from last year were

compiled, coded and analyzed to find patterns in student behavior. Unsafe behavior was the most

frequent reason for discipline referrals. With students behaving in an unsafe manner, it follows

that not all students feel safe at school. Knowing the unsafe behaviors that students exhibit gives

staff direction for the social and emotional skills that may need targeted instruction.

During the 2017-2018 school year, student office discipline referral data was compiled

and shared monthly and staff safety committee meetings.
