5 D. Required for Year 4 C. Required for Year 2 Goal 2 Improvement Plan Addendum (IPA) for items A-B: Bilingual Facilitators Site ICs Please describe the factors contributing to failure to meet desired accountability measures. Goal 2 IPA for items A-B: Please describe the factors contributing to failure to meet desired accountability measures. Val Verde USD performed a data analyses of the EL Program utilizing CELDT, CAASPP results and participation rates, attendance rates, graduation rates, state data tools (e.g., ELSSA), and other local assessments (e.g. benchmark assessments, curriculum embedded assessments, LCFF Metrics) to measure EL student English proficiency, academic achievement in English language arts and mathematics, and derived the following findings in relation to failure to meet desired accountability measures: Overall, VVUSD EL students making annual progress in learning English has decreased over the last four years. This trend seems to indicate a need to strengthen English Language Development (ELD) instruction in order for students to make gains on the State Language Assessment (CELDT). VVUSD needs to increase English Learner Professional Learning specific to ELD. VVUSD will hire an English Learner Instructional Coach to focus on English Learner Professional Learning that will support English Learner outcomes. There is also a need to strengthen the ELD general base program by adopting new ELA/ELD curriculum that is aligned to the present CA Standards and CA ELD Standards. AMAO 1: Percent of EL Students Making Annual Progress in Learning English Target 56.0% 57.5% 59.0% 60.5% Percent Meeting Target 68.4% 58.3% 57.9% 56.3% Was Target Met? (Y/N) YES YES NO NO In the following two graphs, VVUSD notes the diverse needs within our EL Program. For example, current data indicates that students who have less than 5 years within U.S. Schools are consistently meeting the required targets for English Proficiency on the State Language Assessment (CELDT), while our students who have 5 or more years within U.S. Schools are not reaching English Proficiency targets. Based on current research surrounding

6 Long Term English Learner (LTEL) students, it appears that these students have unique needs in relation to language acquisition. VVUSD currently provides the supplementary AVID Excel Program to meet the needs of LTEL students at the middle school level and will expand LTEL Professional Learning across the district. AMAO 2: Percent of EL Students Attaining English Proficiency Less than 5 Years Target 20.1% 21.4% 22.8% 24.2% Percent Meeting Target 35.2% 31.3% 29.6% 29.7% Was Target Met? (Y/N) YES YES YES YES AMAO 2: Percent of EL Students Attaining English Proficiency 5 Years Target 45.1% 47.0% 49.0% 49.0% Percent Meeting Target 50.2% 44.6% 40.9% 42.9% Was Target Met? (Y/N) YES NO NO NO The graph below demonstrates that our EL students at the Intermediate CELDT level makeup the greatest percentage of students not meeting English Proficiency. It is noteworthy that there appears to be a similar trend for the state average data. These findings seem to be in line with current research surrounding Long Term English Learner (LTEL) students, which states that LTEL students are at risk of getting stuck at the Intermediate level prior to reaching English Proficiency. There is a need to focus on better serving our LTEL students through: ELD, Academic Language Support and Content Support. VVUSD currently provides the supplementary AVID Excel Program to meet the needs of LTEL students at the middle school level and will expand LTEL Professional Learning across the district to increase LTEL success. VVUSD will also research other Specialized ELD curriculum to meet the needs of LTEL students at the elementary and high school level. Prior Year CELDT Level Number in Proficiency Level Prior Year % in Proficiency Level Prior Year Number Meeting Growth Target Percent Meeting Growth Target State Avg. Meeting Growth Target Beginning % 30 55% 62.9% Early Intermediate % % 62.6% Intermediate 1, % % 41.9% Early Adv./ Advanced: % % 73.3% Not English Proficient Early Adv./ Advanced: 1, % 1, % 89.5% English Proficient Total % 2, % The graph below helps to show that a majority of VVUSD EL students are at the Early Advanced/Advanced English Proficiency level (these would be our Reclassification candidates) and at the Intermediate level (4 years + in U.S. Schools would be our LTEL students). Again, this seems to confirm the need to offer more support for LTEL students through increased professional learning and research Specialized ELD curriculum that will address the unique needs of these students. It is also worth mentioning that VVUSD has a significant number of students who can be considered for

The majority of our students within the Intermediate CELDT level are performing at the Standard Not Met level for SBAC. This indicates a need to improve our Integrated ELD Content Instruction with Sheltered/SDAIE support. This will be addressed by strengthening VVUSD English Learner Professional Learning (ELPL) and hiring an English Learner Instructional Coach to focus solely on the needs of English Learner supports for students. Another important modification will be to adopt new ELA/ELD curriculum aligned to the present CA Standards and the CA ELD Standards, which are being measured on current SBAC performance. VVUSD believes these improvements will support an increase in EL academic achievement. It is also important to mention that when looking at the second graph, where we can see how EL students at the English Proficient level on CELDT (potential Reclassification candidates), the majority of these students are performing at the Standard Nearly Met band on SBAC. However, there are still enough students at the Standard Not Met level to warrant strengthening EL support in general. Val Verde USD will strengthen its MTSS model to effectively address the needs of English Learner students through multi-tiered interventions that address language acquisition needs and academic deficits. Val Verde USD will strengthen EL Instructional Monitoring. The current ELD walkthrough forms will be aligned to the present CA ELD standards and measurable professional learning outcomes. Furthermore, VVUSD will increase EL focused Coaching and Collaborative Learning (CCL) time for teachers in order to study EL data for the purpose of determining needs and instructional responses.

The majority of our students within the Intermediate CELDT level are performing at the Standard Not Met level for SBAC. This indicates a need to improve our Integrated ELD Content Instruction with Sheltered/SDAIE support. This will be addressed by strengthening the VVUSD English Learner Professional Learning (ELPL), the VVUSD Math Professional learning and the hiring of a Math Instructional Coach to improve the VVUSD general base Math Program; the additional EL Instructional Coach will collaborate with the Math Instructional Coach to target specific math supports for English Learner students. Another important modification has been to adopt a new Math curriculum aligned to the present CA Standards, which are being measured on current SBAC performance. VVUSD believes these improvements will support an increase in EL academic achievement in the area of Math. When looking at the second graph, where we can see how EL students at the English Proficient level on CELDT (potential Reclassification candidates), the majority of these students are also performing at the Standard Not Met band on SBAC. In fact, there is a general trend of low Math performance across the district which is why VVUSD will work to strengthen the general base Math Program as a whole, while also providing supplementary supports to ensure the success of our EL students. Val Verde USD will strengthen its MTSS model to effectively address the needs of English Learner students through multi-tiered interventions that address language acquisition needs and academic deficits. Val Verde USD will strengthen EL Instructional Monitoring. The current ELD walkthrough forms will be aligned to the present CA ELD standards and measurable professional learning outcomes. Furthermore, VVUSD will increase EL focused Coaching and Collaborative Learning (CCL) time for teachers in order to study EL data for the purpose of determining needs and instructional responses.

It appears that a majority of our Reclassified students are reaching the Standard Met band in ELA and we have a large percent at the Standard Nearly Met band as well. This is important information, because we want to ensure that we are reclassifying students where they are able to perform on par with their English Only counterparts and, at the same time, we need to make sure that we are not keeping students in the EL program beyond what is needed because we limit access and may possibly reduce student motivation. 38% of our total student population is performing at that Standards Met band and 37% of our Reclassified students are also performing at this band, which demonstrates that our Reclassified students are on par with their counterparts in the area of ELA. When looking at the second graph for Math we see the same pattern. 23% of our Reclassified students are at the Standards Met band and the team also studied the total student population, which is at 24%. Again, our Reclassified students are on par with their counterparts. It is important to point out there appears to be low math performance across the district and VVUSD is addressing the issue by strengthening the general

10 base Math program with new Math curriculum and by hiring a Math Instructional Coach; the additional EL Instructional Coach will collaborate with the Math Instructional Coach to target specific math supports for English Learner students.

Our current graduation rate is 84%, while the current state graduation rate is 69.4%. We will continue to push for higher graduation rates for EL students by strengthening the following: o Professional Learning o Designated ELD and Integrated ELD Content Instruction with Sheltered/SDAIE support o MTSS, with a focus on ELs o Monitoring of EL Instruction Graduation Rates

11 Percent Number Percent Number Percent Number All Students 90% % % 1420 EL Students 79% % % 241 Concluding analysis of the data has indicated that VVUSD has not met accountability measures due to the need to modify and strengthen the following: 1. Professional Learning 2. Designated ELD and Integrated ELD Content Instruction with Sheltered/SDAIE support 3. MTSS, with a focus on ELs 4. Monitoring of EL Instruction Please describe all required modifications to curriculum, program, and method of instruction. June 2016-June 2017 Val Verde USD performed a data analyses of the EL Program utilizing CELDT, CAASPP results and participation rates, attendance rates, graduation rates, state data tools (e.g., ELSSA), and other local assessments (e.g. benchmark assessments, curriculum embedded assessments, LCFF Metrics) to measure EL student English proficiency, academic achievement in English language arts and mathematics, and derived the following findings in relation to the current accountability measures: 1. Strengthen English Learner Professional Learning (ELPL) Val Verde USD will augment English Learner Professional Learning (ELPL) by providing an English Learner Instructional Coach dedicated to training staff and community stakeholders regarding EL instruction, such as: Designated English Language Development (ELD) Instruction and Integrated ELD Content Instruction with Sheltered/SDAIE support offered in the general base program.

This will happen through the general base program and will require supplemental supports: Val Verde will adopt new ELA/ELD curriculum as part of general base program to meet the rigor of the CA State Standards and the CA ELD Standards. Maintain ELD for Long Term English Learner Students through the Supplemental AVID Excel Program; in addition to general base ELD Program. Research supplementary materials for Specialized ELD for Newcomer and Long Term English Learner (LTEL) students. will provide increased Professional Learning regarding Specialized ELD for Newcomer and Long Term English Learner (LTEL) students. 3. Strengthen EL Interventions within Multiple Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) Val Verde USD will strengthen its MTSS model to effectively address the needs of English Learner students through multi-tiered interventions that address language acquisition needs and academic deficits. English Learner Program Supplementary Impact Subs: There is a need for additional Impact Subs in order to release teachers to provide on-going and continual targeted interventions to EL students, such as small group support with phonology, morphology, lexicon, syntax, and semantics in context; Close Reading; Academic Language Development; and small group SDAIE Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking support. Catch-Up Coaching/Mentoring Substitute Release Days: The district will provide Bilingual Facilitators and Reclassifiers EL Catch-Up Coaching/Mentoring Substitute Release Days in order to observe, counsel and coach ELs and RFEP students demonstrating academic and/or linguistic needs as per state & local assessments, grades, and/or CELDT; in addition to not meeting expected reclassification criteria. 4.
