School Processes & Programs

School Processes & Programs Summary

At WVE our vision guides us: The passionate staff members at Woodview are dedicated to providing the appropriate tools and strategies to ensure the success of every child. 

Mission:  Building Excellence And Growing Leaders Everyday

We have a shared leadership structure including: Instructional Leadership Team, Campus Improvement Team, Team Leaders, Grade Level PLC's, and PTA. We continually use various data sources to determine the effectiveness of our program, systems, and  structures.

We utilize our PLC's Commitments and utilize the 4 Critical Questions when we are planning.  Our teachers have their content and language objectives written on the board and refer   to them throughout the lesson. Our children are able to articulate what they are learning and the outcome they are expected to produce. We utilize the district curriculum resources in  our LMS and have protected planning time.  We plan with district specialists on a continual basis and we attend professional development sessions to learn new techniques and ways    to teach the TEKS. Our Instructional Leadership Team Members attend team planning sessions to support teams. We participate in district assessments and analyze the data to determine next steps.

School Processes & Programs Strengths

We are a PBIS (Positive Behaviors Interventions and Supports) campus and ensure that our students have the self-regulatory behaviors they need for success.

At Woodview we have shared leadership and a structure that allows all of our stakeholders to have an equal voice in helping us reach our goals. Together we hold one another accountable for our outcomes.  We are reflective practitioners and always seek to make   improvement.

We have instructional rounds and give teachers areas of Reinforcement and areas of Refinement based on the observations. We give lesson plan feedback to teachers and teams to ensure we are covering the state mandated TEKS. We utilize data of common assessments, data analysis, and planning for individual needs. MAP data is used to "preview" TEKS that are coming up in the curriculum during small group  instruction.

In K - 5th grade we utilize the Teacher College Reading and Writing Project Units of study to teach Language Arts. Our students set goals and track their progress using student trackers.

We ensure all of our students have the accommodations they need whether they are in Special Education, GT, or they are EB.

Perceptions

Perceptions Summary

We believe we need to provide the supports and structures so that every student grows to their highest potential when they are with us. We have academic support for children who are performing below level in Reading and Math. We also have acceleration for students who are performing above level. All of our staff members are committed to ensuring the success of their children.

At Woodview, we have supports and structures in place to support students and staff: PLCs, faculty meetings, professional development opportunities, Beagle Camp, mentoring, Behavior Support Team, Instructional Leadership Team, Campus Improvement Team, Team Leaders, District Support, and Project Class. We have an Interviewing Committee to  help us find highly qualified staff. We use disaggregated data from multiple sources including MAP, Common Assessments, District Assessments, and other forms of data to drive  our differentiated instruction for all students.    The SSC/RTI process is followed to determine the next steps to meet the needs of our children.

Communication with parents increased due to the use of Class Dojo. We offered Parent Coffees and Literacy Night, and we maintained our PTA.

We are a family at Woodview and we value the partnership we have with our parents, students, community members, and staff   members.

We believe in our Spring Branch Core Values of Every Child, Moral Compass, Limitless Curiosity, Collective Greatness and Collaborative Spirit.

Perceptions Strengths

Our grade level PLC's ensure the success of students through using the PLC commitments and answering the 4 critical questions when they are planning. They work in collaborative teams and take collective responsibility for student learning rather than working in isolation. Teams implement a guaranteed and viable curriculum, unit by unit. We monitor student learning through ongoing assessment processes that include frequent, team-developed common formative assessments. They use the results of common assessments to: Improve individual practice, build the team's capacity to achieve its goals, and intervene or extend on behalf of students. We provide systematic interventions and enrichment to ensure we are meeting the needs of all of our students. When we are lesson planning we use the questions: What do we expect students to know and to be able to learn? How do we know they are learning it? How do we respond when they do not learn? How do we respond when they have already learned?
