Definition: Problem of Practice focuses on the instructional core. is directly observable. is actionable. connects to a broader strategy of improvement. is high-leverage. is deep learning. From: Identifying a “Problem of Practice”

Objectives: Inform about the new CA Dashboard Inform about the new Accountability System – both State and Federal Inform about Accountability as it relates to CNUSD Messaging Toolkit for Stakeholder Groups

Why do we have a Dashboard? • Provides annual outcome data and should generate questions. • It is NOT the only source of data. • Provides a focus and/or an entry point for additional investigation. • It does NOT provide answers to system challenges or root causes. • Provides student group results to support equity conversations. • It is NOT intended to blame student groups or schools. • It requires that we check biases and assumptions before acting. • Provides an indication of where needs may exist for student groups, schools, districts within the education system and system of support. • It is NOT a hammer.

LCFF (State Accountability) • District Level Identification • Level 2 – Differentiated Assistance (D. A. ) • Identified through the dashboard by subgroup • Annually identified 18

How does a district enter Differentiated Assistance? Pupil Achievement (Priority 4) • Red on both English language arts and math tests, or • Red on English language arts or math test and Orange on the other test • [ELPI Not Available for 2018] Pupil Engagement (Priority 5) • Red on Graduation Rate Indicator, or • Red on Chronic Absence Indicator School Climate (Priority 6) • Red on Suspension Rate Indicator, Outcomes in a Broad Course of Study (Priority 8) • Red on College/Career Indicator 19

According to RCOE, predicted CNUSD and school site results – Official in January 2019 Differentiated Assistance – CNUSD not in D. A. • In Riverside County, 16 of 24 LEAs identified for D. A. • 374 LEAs State wide • 239 New • 135 Remained • 93 Exited 21

Comprehensive Support and Improvement (CSI) - Schools: • Schools identified for CSI: • Low Performing Title I • High Schools – Graduation rate below 67% average over 2 – years (includes all high schools) • Implications • Additional state funding will be allocated • Funding needs to be referenced within the LCAP as to how it supports school improvement. • A comprehensive needs assessment within the SPSA needs to be developed, implemented and approved by the State. • The LEA provides support in the implementation and monitoring of the plan. 22

Comprehensive Support and Improvement (CSI) - Schools: • Criteria for schools to be identified for CSI: • Schools with all red indicators; • Schools with all red but one indicator of any other color; • Schools with all red and orange indicators; and • Schools with five or more indicators where the majority are red. 23

Senarios - CSI Example 1 - Ruby Union High School did not receive Title I funds for the 2017– 18 school year. Example 2 - Jasper Middle School received Title I funds for the 2017– 18 school year. 24

Targeted Support and Improvement (TSI) / Additional Targeted Support and Improvement (ATSI) - Schools: • Schools identified for TSI/ATSI: • All schools eligible • Based subgroup performance over 2 - years • Implications • No additional funding. • A plan needs to be developed and implemented. • The LEA provides support in the implementation and monitoring of the plan. 25

Targeted Support and Improvement (TSI) / Additional Targeted Support and Improvement (ATSI) - Schools: • Criteria for schools to be identified for TSI/ATSI: • All red indicators (student group must have at least two indicators); • All red but one indicator of any other color; • All red and orange indicators; and • Five or more indicators where the majority are red. 26

Scenarios – TSI/ATSI Example 3 - Onyx High School Example 4 - Agate Middle School 27
