3 School Description and Mission Statement Most Recent Year The Envision Academy of Arts and Technology is a small, public charter high school located in downtown Oakland. The Envision Academy program includes 4 R's that set our school apart from other high schools. Rigor: The mission of our school is to prepare all of our students to enter and be successful in college. All of our students take rigorous, college-prep courses that make them eligible for the UC and CSU systems. These courses focus on helping students master essential content standards in each course and the Envision 21st Century Leadership Skills: Critical Thinking, Effective Project Management, Productive Collaboration, Powerful Communication. Relevance: Teaching and learning at Envision Academy focuses on project-based learning. Our students never ask When are we ever going to need to know this? because most of what they learn is in a real-world, engaging context. Students work on projects regularly in order to prepare for success in college and 21st Century careers. Students share their projects throughout the year with their parents and the school community in public Exhibition events. Also, Envision Academy integrates art and technology into the curriculum. Students take Digital Media Literacy & Expression and Performing Arts while in high school. Students learn 21st Century leadership skills through regular use of computer technology the school maintains a 2:1 ratio of students to laptop computers. Relationships: Envision Academy maintains an intentionally small school community. Envision Academy serves approximately 330 students. Class sizes are generally lower than other public schools so that students can receive personalized attention from teachers. The small school structure promotes the development of strong, supportive relationships among students and staff. Our students and their learning needs become well known in this family-like environment. Each student has an Advisor, who takes special responsibility for advocating for his or her students, making sure they do not fall through the cracks, and serving as a liaison with their families. Results: Envision Academy students are prepared to do well on standardized assessments such as the CAHSEE, STAR, and college entrance exams. All students, in order to earn their diploma, are required to defend their College Success Portfolio in front of a panel, their family, and fellow classmates. This Portfolio contains evidence of the student s mastery of both content skills and the Envision 21st Century Leadership Skills.

6 Envision Academy occupies three floors and the basement of a five-story building on Webster Street in Oakland California. We are located conveniently close to public transportation, with AC Transit and BART stops within 3 blocks. Our school is in a beautiful and safe building at 15th and Webster St. The term of our lease is for another 4 years with options for an additional 15 years. Major renovation work was done to the building in 2007 to create teaching areas and all work has been done under required building permits. Envision Schools finished this construction and has received all final inspection approvals. Facilities at the school are accessible for all students with disabilities in accordance with the ADA and meets the building department seismic requirements.

Instead, our students participate in a Workplace Learning Experience (WLE) internship during their 11th and 12th grade years. During this experience, students find a mentor within a career area they are interested in pursuing. The mentor works with them off site for two weeks to complete a workplace project, and help develop their 21st Century Skills. Students must meet the clearly defined WLE standards as part of Envision Academy's graduation criteria. 1/30/2015 Powered by SchoolCity, Inc Page 8 of 16

Suspensions and Expulsions Rate* School District State Suspensions Expulsions School Safety Plan Most Recent Year Envision Academy is a small school that is purposeful about creating a safe and positive learning environment. By virtue of our small school size, low teacher-student ratios, and Advisory program, we are able to leverage our relationships with students to increase academic performance and enhance our overall sense of safety and community. Security is enhanced by virtue of the school being located entirely inside one building. We have a full-time School Security Officer who gets to know the students well and promotes a positive learning environment. This security officer is on site from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. each day. All visitors need to be admitted through the front door by a school staff member, and go to the front office to sign in. Other security officers provide building supervision 24 hours per day. Each student has an Advisor who he/she can consult with regarding academic/social/personal concerns. The school meets once a month for community meetings to communicate about important school-wide issues affecting students, including safety concerns. Also, students who have made the environment unsafe are required to give public apologies. In addition, the Parent Association also meets monthly to discuss safety issues, among other matters. Our School Safety Plan addresses student and staff protocol in case of fire, earthquake, intruder, and other emergencies. We share this information with staff at staff meetings, reinforced through and written charts and diagrams posted in their classrooms. Staff members train students and debrief with them to improve our practice each time we have a drill. The School Safety Plan was last revised and reviewed on May 30th, 2013 prior to a drill that took place on June 5th, We have worked very hard to make sure that Envision Academy is prepared for emergencies. We have trained all staff on protocol for specific situations (as stated above), and staff, in kind, has trained students. We have ensured that every staff member is CPR certified. We also collaborate with the Alameda Office of Education and our insurance company in building walk-throughs to seek out and remediate any potential risks. The school s administrative team meets weekly, and includes safety planning and issues in our agendas. In addition, administrators and the learning specialists get trained and certified in CPI (Crisis Prevention & Intervention). We consider any issues that arise and work as a team to fix them in a timely manner. We aim to be proactive in preparing for emergencies. D.
