Escambia County School District

The 2024-2025 ACIP Plan for Escambia County Middle School focuses on creating a safe, rigorous, and engaging learning environment that fosters responsible, resourceful, and respectful lifelong learners. The plan emphasizes four key areas: Culture and Climate (positive relationships and communication), Students and Learning (rigorous and engaging instruction aligned with state standards across all three tiers of intervention), Professional Learning (support and development for teachers and staff), and Resources for Learning (equitable access to resources to support student success). Key initiatives include improving communication, building stakeholder partnerships, implementing high-quality instruction, providing differentiated instruction, offering professional development opportunities, aligning resources to increase attendance and decrease discipline, and ensuring equitable access to technology and career and technical education. Outcomes will be measured through various metrics including report card grades, assessment data, professional learning completion rates, attendance data, discipline referrals, and resource utilization.
