2 CRITICAL LEARNER NEEDS: 1. Students need to build proficiency in literacy skills across all content areas and 21 st century skills (communication, collaboration, creativity, critical thinking). 2. Students need to develop proficiency with technology as an instructional and assessment tool. 3. will target minority student populations for advancement in Honors and AP courses that offer more challenging coursework to prepare students for post-secondary education and career. Rationale (Critical Learner Need #1) Actions Identified in the Brea Olinda Unified School District (BOUSD) Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP): Define milestones based on skill sets: Numeracy, Literacy, 21st Century Skills Professional Learning Communities (PLC) Release focused on targeted students Establish district task force(s) to design common assessments by content areas Growth Needs Identified in the 2014 Focus on Learning Self-Study Process: Students need to strengthen inference and analysis skills by connecting new concepts and prior knowledge. Students need to develop proficiency in expressing ideas through verbal and written language as evidence of sound reasoning and critical thinking. Since CCSS require students to justify their writing, will continue developing strategies that support more Claim, Evidence, Response (CER) in core subject areas. Recommendation from 2015 WASC Visiting Committee Increase professional development on Common Core Standards and Next Generation Science Standards Continue to build writing skills across the curriculum Expand administrative role in instructional strategies by conducting regular and ongoing classroom visitations, PLC participation, monitoring and feedback Rationale (Critical Learner Need #2) Actions Identified in the BOUSD LCAP: Evaluate the number of students completing career ready coursework: CTE pathways, internship hours and/or academy requirements Establish K-12 training aligned with 21st Century Skills and CCSS Offer basic, intermediate and advanced levels of interactive technology training and 21st Century Skills Use formal and informal observations to provide formative feedback for use of interactive technology Identify ways to use ipads, smart phones, or other technology as tools for teaching and learning Growth Needs Identified in the 2014 Focus on Learning Self-Study Process: Students need to develop and hone effective technology skills, specifically the ability to determine credible and non-credible sources, to support claims made in writing assignments. Students need to use primary source documents and informational text to foster critical thinking, with a targeted focus on our college preparatory course offerings. 2

3 According to student surveys, 78% of students agree that that they are encouraged to utilize technology for assignments and projects. Recommendation from 2015 WASC Visiting Committee Increase the number and use of technology for teaching and learning Rationale (Critical Learner Need #3) Actions Identified in the BOUSD LCAP: Provide customer service training to all staff in all departments Develop and implement an annual assessment tool to measure changes in the perception of stakeholders on the district s customer service Encourage increased parent involvement, parenting classes, regular communication of district policies and practices and participation opportunities Growth Needs Identified in the 2014 Focus on Learning Self-Study Process: Increase subgroup enrollment in higher-level courses, particularly Hispanic/Latino students. According to parent and student surveys, 72% of parents and 78% of students agree that offers many course options and opportunities to choose from that meet students individual interests and learning needs. Recommendation from 2015 WASC Visiting Committee Continue to monitor and support underrepresented student populations (English learners, students with special needs, e.g.) ACTION PLAN GOALS: 1. will improve student proficiency in literacy through the work of Professional Learning Community (PLC) teams. 2. will embed technology as an instructional and assessment tool to improve student proficiency in literacy and 21st century skills. 3. will enhance curriculum, instruction, and support services to reflect the diversity of student cultural backgrounds and provide a positive, safe and respectful school environment for students, parents, and staff. 3

10 SBAC Overall Claim Scores, Advanced Placement (AP Enrollment, AP Test Passage Rates, Career Pathway Cords Earned, SAT scores, ACT scores) Update for school year: Comparing Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium testing data from spring 2015 and spring 2016, staff noticed the following: Overall percentage of students meeting or exceeding standards in English and mathematics remained consistent Overall percentage of students earning above in the English and Mathematics claims remained consistent Significant differences in percentage of students meeting or exceeding standards (overall and in claim subscores) exist in English learner, special education, economically disadvantaged, Hispanic, and African-American subgroups, as compared to the school s overall scores Based on the review of state testing data, the BOUSD LCAP, classroom observations, and staff input at the BOUSD staff development in August 2016, staff established the two instructional goals below for this school year. 1. Design and implement instruction in which students apply knowledge using their literacy skills, Standards for Mathematical Practice, and/or Scientific and Engineering Practices. 2. Choose one performance area from the Critical Thinking Skills Rubric to focus on in and implement instruction that integrates that area's skills with students. Supporting documents include the list of literacy skills, Standards for Mathematical Practice, and Scientific and Engineering Practices; Critical Thinking Skills Performance Areas and Rubric. Teachers are outlining their specific activities and assessments for each instructional goal in the fall. Administrators will monitor progress toward meeting instructional goals in all classrooms throughout the year. has an allotment of professional development funds under the Educator Effectiveness Funding to support teacher learning and development in the following categories: Professional development, coaching, and support services for teachers who have been identified as needing improvement or additional support Professional development for teachers and administrators that is aligned to the state content standards Activities to promote educator quality and effectiveness including, but not limited to, training on mentoring and coaching certificated staff and training certificated staff to support effective teaching and learning administration will oversee the use of these funds to support teachers participating in professional development related to these categories, the school-wide learner outcomes, the critical learner needs, the action plan goals, and the instructional goals. 10

11 will receive three additional Chromebook carts by December. The current reservation calendar will be modified to reflect the availability and location of the additional carts so teachers may utilize the devices with students to expand the use of Google Apps for Education to support learning. administration met with the team of four 21 st century instructional coaches to ask for support of using Google Classroom as more than a warehouse for information and assignments and to model strategies that increase student engagement while informing staff of the upcoming Advancement via Individual Determination (AVID) and Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) implementations. This year, there are four sections of AVID at Brea Junior High (BJH), so anticipates having at least two sections of AVID on campus next year. The AVID teacher is currently working with two sections of AVID students at BJH in preparation for the application process, tutoring needs, and coordination duties that the AVID program will require to be successful and strong at. Lastly, has begun the implementation process for PBIS, in support of BOUSD LCAP goals and a safe and healthy school climate. This first year, the team is attending several days of training to learn about PBIS and modify current student behavior expectations (code of conduct) to align with PBIS.
