22 Investigating Current Structures

23 FCMAT: Program Delivery

24 FCMAT Recommendation #2 Review SPED service delivery models and align to industry standards, maximizing student access to mainstream classrooms and typical peers.

25 RSP Tutorials and Study Skills! 14 periods in the SLHS Master Schedule! Anywhere from 3 to 16 students being served per section at SLHS! 3 periods of Study Skills in the Bancroft Master Schedule! Anywhere from 6 to 12 students being served per section at BMS! Placement criteria is not clear to district staff!

28 Questions or Comments?

29 RSP Content Courses! RSP students are removed from the general education setting and are assigned to separate sections of English and Math, i.e Algebra RSP, Geometry RSP, etc.! District staff cannot find relevant, board adopted course description.! Are the courses considered A-G?! The course on the transcript is listed as a college prep course of study.

30 RSP Content Courses Cont.! If a student is educated in RSP sections for their core courses and receive services in tutorials, we are wondering if RSP students are excluded from the general education setting over 49% of their instructional day.! Is Section EC56362 (6)(e) implemented properly?! To what extent do the SPED teachers have an opportunity to collaborate with the math and English departments?! Are credentials NCLB compliant?

31 FCMAT Recommendation #10 Ensure that all special education teachers and students have access to high quality, district adopted, and state approved instructional materials aligned to grade level standards.

32 FCMAT Recommendation #8 Establish a strong communication between Curriculum and Instruction and Special Services Departments to ensure that special education programs are valued and included in district planning and decision making related to curriculum and instruction.

37 Why 2 prep periods?!
