The lack of organization in the campus designated reading resource library posed a problem for teachers in choosing the proper material to use for instruction. As such, many teachers are not taking advantage of useful supplemental materials which could greatly improve reading mastery.

Teachers expressed the need more reading resources in order to meet the rigorous standards of curriculum and thereby of their student populations. Our campus focuses a great deal of reading instruction on small group learning and teacher to individual student lessons. In order to effectively achieve such a feat, it is necessary for teachers to have a well-organized readily accessible area from which to select the proper reading material.

As well, they are pleased with tutorial opportunities which are provided during the day. Hearing the conversations identified the need to find out exactly which programs and systems the staff would expound on in order to continually shape an effective campus vision.

Evaluate the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (S.W.O.T.) associated with the campus by performing an analysis. Collect information collected from each by grade level. Compile a list identifying the ten most pertinent responses per grade level. Compile a list identifying the ten most pertinent responses campus wide.

The evaluation method will be the S.W.O.T. analysis complications by grade level and campus wide in order to extrapolate strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats present at the school. Survey results campus wide detail more weaknesses than strengths which indicates that administration should seek more in depth research from the staff about ways to address the concerns. Keenly, the overall staff reported minimal threats in association with the campus.
