California Office to Reform Education (CORE)? CORE Districts Participating in the Waiver SY 2015 -2016 • CORE is a non-profit organization that includes ten California school districts that work collaboratively to significantly improve student achievement • Together CORE districts serve more than one million students and families (approximately 20% of all CA students) • Six of the ten participating districts are participating in the waiver

Three Principles of the Waiver The CORE waiver is grounded in Michael Fullan’s concept of a moral imperative—an unavoidable obligation—to eliminate disparities amongst subgroups. PRINCIPLE 1 College & Career Ready Expectations for All Students Implementation of CA Standards, A-G Requirements and Smarter Balanced Assessments Differentiated Recognition & Support Implementation of School Quality Improvement System PRINCIPLE 2 PRINCIPLE 3 Supporting Effective Instruction and Leadership Implementation of Teacher and Principal Evaluation and Support Systems

What is the SPSA? SPSA Basics § The Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA) is a plan of actions to raise the academic performance of all students. In particular, the SPSA is the blue print of how the school will meet the linguistic and academic needs of English Learners as measured by the AMAOs (Title III Accountability) § To meet the AMAO performance targets, schools must use Title III funds to provide direct services to increase the academic achievement of ELs § These funds must be used to provide services to ELs above and beyond the core program requirements as outlined in the United States Code (USC) and California Education Code (EC) Must be developed, monitored and evaluated by the School Site Council with input from advisory committees § California Education Code 64001 8 [Guide p. 1]

What are some common concerns when developing the SPSA? § Not based on a thorough analysis of student needs based on data § Are vague and not actionable (plans to plan) § Are a running record of everything § Do not include measureable outcomes § Don’t involve stakeholders in a meaningful way 9

DATA is the Starting Point • Student Achievement Data – Schools need both state & local data that allows for them to identify schoolwide and subgroup trends over time and specific areas of weakness

I Have the Data … Now What? • Comprehensive Needs Assessment – What are our issues and critical causes of student underachievement? Make the case with data to explain your needs to improve academic achievement. – Create objectives and identify strategies to accomplish those issues • Progress Monitoring – How’s it working? Revisit the plan to check for progress and stay focused on timelines – What adjustments need to be made? – What are we going to do next?

DATA ANALYSIS Guiding questions: 1. 2. 3. 4. Are we providing a comprehensive ELD program for our English Learners? How do we differentiate to meet the unique strengths and needs of our ELs? How many of our ELs are meeting the reclassification criteria within 5 years? How can we reduce our number of LTELs?

Establishing SMART GOALS Once you have analyzed school wide data and summarized findings you can then develop SMART Goals to address it.
