Lamont Elementary School School Accountability Report Card Reported Using Data from the 2014-15 School Year Published During 2015-16 By February 1 of each year, every school in California is required by state law to publish a School Accountability Report Card (SARC). The SARC contains information about the condition and performance of each California public school. Under the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) all local educational agencies (LEAs) are required to prepare a Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP), which describes how they intend to meet annual school-specific goals for all pupils, with specific activities to address state and local priorities. Additionally, data reported in an LCAP is to be consistent with data reported in the SARC. For more information about SARC requirements, see the California Department of Education (CDE) SARC Web page at http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/ac/sa/.

Professional Development (Most Recent Three Years) Staff Development: 2014-15 School Accountability Report Card for Lamont Elementary School Page 9 of 10
The district provides opportunities for professional development throughout the school year. The district sent 2 teachers from each grade level and all district/site academic coaches to the Rigorous Curriculum Design training to develop curriculum and assessments for the new Common Core s. Lamont School teachers were provided with grade level planning as needed to prepare for the transition. The principal and the academic coach also attended professional development training to enhance teaching strategies within the new common core standards. The academic coach hosted Close Reading training for all grade levels and hosted a training defining the shifts for both language arts and math. The district offered two staff development days in July and January of the current school year. These staff development days can go for a full day covering subjects from ELD instruction to reading, writing and math strategies for all levels of instruction. Throughout the year, teachers are encouraged to attend workshops addressing areas such as math and reading strategies, special education, and GATE. This is supported by our Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA). Our para-professionals are also encouraged to attend workshops or in-services that they feel will provide them with additional support and strategies. The district has provided training for the newly adopted math curriculum and will be providing planning days throughout the year. Structured teacher planning time is held bi-monthly to analyze data, plan instruction, monitor student progress and evaluate program effectiveness in teaching the Language Arts, ELD, and Mathematic standards. The district continues to promote Professional Learning Communities where staff work together, collaborate, and support each other as they review data, student achievement, academic programs, etc. The school has already seen much success with this new system. 2014-15 School Accountability Report Card for Lamont Elementary School Page 10 of 10
