Unit 4: Writing Assignment (20 points) NELP 1.1, 1.2, 4.2

Prompt: Using the case study data, answer the prompts that follow:

Beyou Middle School’s Fall 2025 student survey reveals low engagement in science classes (3.0/5.0), with students commenting that lessons feel repetitive and lack hands-on activities. Parent surveys indicate a desire for more opportunities for involvement (3.2/5.0), while teachers report low student motivation (2.8/5.0). Demographic data shows 18% chronic absenteeism, with higher rates among Hispanic/Latino (20%) and Black/African American (22%) students. Achievement data indicates 50% math proficiency and 61% reading proficiency, with lower performance among chronically absent students. The school leadership team aims to create a shared vision for improving student engagement and reducing absenteeism, using assessment and perception data to guide the process.

Note: The Likert Scale model for survey response is being used here to assign responses a number 1 to 5. A response of “1” would represent strongly disagree, “2” disagree, “3” neither disagree nor agree, “4” agree, and “5” strongly agree.

Detail a process (using aspects of Bernhardt’s vision-setting framework as a guide) that would be established in a school to facilitate a collaborative process that yields a shared vision for improving student engagement, as well as includes parents, students, and teachers as decisions are made. In the paper, analyze how perception shapes vision, using Bernhardt’s “From Questions to Actions” protocol. Propose one assessment strategy for monitoring progress toward vision, explaining how the strategy aligns with data-driven instruction.
