This is similar to the Abstracts you have written for other projects. Think of this as your 60 second commercial. You have one page in which to convince someone of the value of your intervention. It is suggested you restate the problem, solution, cost, and benefits. Creativity in your summary will be appreciated.

The faculty has not changed much over the years, but the test scores have been on a steady decline, each year the school struggles to make Adequate Yearly Progress during summer school. **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">Background of Organization ** <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">Alps Road Elementary has been in Athens, GA for over 30 years. The school moved into a new building in early 2005. The school is centrally located, near the campus of the University of Georgia and the campus of Piedmont College. It is one of thirteen elementary schools in the Clarke County School district. The school currently has 418 students, from neighborhoods within a one mile radius of the school. Information that would be helpful to plan interventions appropriate to the schools needs would be the detailed CRCT score reports from the past five years. Information about Alps Road Elementary can be obtained from [] I am able to obtain reports about the school from the Clarke County School district website, as well as the Georgia Department of Education website. I am also able to contact Anisa Sullivan Jimenez, the public relations director for the Clarke County School District. **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">Stakeholders and Decision-Makers ** <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">The students and faculty at Alps Road Elementary will be affected by my plan. The School Improvement Leadership Team are the final decision makers within the school, all faculty members are represented by grade level lead teachers who discuss potential plans with their team mates and receive feedback. They then take that feedback to the leadership team, where the final decision is then made. All faculty input is heard and taken into serious consideration, and faculty members are always welcome to come sit in on any SILT meetings. **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">Performance Gap: Cause Analysis ** <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">Alps Road Elementary is currently making Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) through the summer school re-test of students who did not pass the CRCT spring test. Alps Road Elementary would like to make AYP through the spring test scores. **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">Actual Current Performance **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">Every spring the CRCT is administered to students in grades 1 through 5 at Alps Road Elementary. In order to make AYP, schools must make 95% in three areas, test participation, academic performance, and another indicator, which at Alps Road Elementary, is attendance. For the past two years Alps has made AYP in test participation and attendance from the spring performance, but it has taken the summer school scores to make AYP in academic achievement. **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">Desired Performance **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">Alps Road faculty and staff would like to make AYP in all three areas in the spring, and not have the summer school scores be the determining factor in the success of the school. **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">Performance Gap ** **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">Cause Analysis. **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"> Why did the people you interviewed think this problem developed in their company?
