San Diego Business SINGLE PLAN FOR STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT SINGLE PLAN FOR STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY INTRODUCTION Both 2014-15 and 2015-16 are addressed in this Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA) document. The nation's movement toward Common Core State Standards (CCSS) is reflected in changes to instructional practices as well as the way in which academic progress is measured. SDUSD has been proactive implementing CCSS as well as piloting Smarter Balanced Assessment (SBAC), the standardized testing developed to measure academic progress associated with CCSS. Additionally, SDUSD has developed internal benchmark assessments for CCSS. The contents of this SPSA include the 2014-15 SSC approved categorical budget. The work toward approving the 2014-15 categorical budget was completed in the spring of 2014 in preparation for the 2014-15 school year. This document is contained in the appendix and has been updated to address the 2014-15 academic environment and academic goals. The rationales for each expense are identified in the budget. SCHOOL VISION AND REALITY Personal Vision for B&L: To create a school focused on kindness, caring and compassion, coupled with a strong commitment to high standards for ALL in for both academics and behavior; a school students want to attend daily, a school where staff is committed to excellence for ALL students; a school in which ALL students are cared for and valued for who they are; a committed community of learners; a place where all stakeholders are contributing to the their learning and the learning of others; instruction is based on best practices, which includes purposeful instruction that creates high levels of student engagement in lessons and tasks that are aligned to common core standards; thoughtful, appropriate interventions and supports are provided to ensure ALL students are learning and progressing towards graduation and beyond; and instructional practice that encompasses the 5 Dimensions of Teaching and Learning. Ideal State for School Culture at B&L: A culture in which the discourse and actions of all stakeholders are aligned to consistently reflect high expectations for ALL and nurture the belief that anything is possible and that all are capable of greatness. A culture of attendance; a place students want to attend each and every day. The culture thrives on inclusion, equity, respect, accountability, kindness, caring and compassion, as well as a commitment to high academic achievement with strong supports. A culture that supports ALL students regardless of their needs or abilities; a culture in which everyone agrees to value others and provide support and guidance, allowing for all students to articulate their dreams, then to achieve them. Ideal State for Academic Press at B&L: Instruction and assessments are aligned to Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and students are cognitively engaged in rigorous tasks. Staff is committed to providing high levels of academic rigor to ALL students and instructional decisions are based upon ongoing and regular assessments, both formal and informal. Data analysis takes place on a regular basis, and learners take part in setting goals for their academic growth. Students will take responsibility for their learning and teachers will provide purposeful lessons that are designed to foster collaboration, inquiry, and argument. Current Reality in Relation to Vision at B&L: Current reality reveals some stakeholders are emerging, while others are developing toward the ideal state. Setting high expectations and use best practices all of the time is at the forefront. Further professional learning grounded in the 5Ds will improve instructional practice. It is critical the we increase our rigor and insure that all lessons are aligned to the CCSS. Students are engaged in the lesson/activity but further analysis needs to be done to determine levels of cognitive engagement. In many classrooms, teachers do more of the talking than students thus not allowing students to ask questions, justify, explain, cite evidence, choose their own strategy, etc.. Attendance still remains a consistent obstacle realizing our vision. SPSA Template Revised 4/16/2015 3
San Diego Business SINGLE PLAN FOR STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT Current Reality in Relation to Culture at B&L: The current culture and social environment is moving in the right direction. Staff and students feel safe and welcomed at Business and Leadership. The community has reached agreements around a common set of beliefs and is beginning to put those agreements into action. Our 9 th grade Linked Learning team is getting it right around building community, building relationships, and supporting students. More focus is still needed on stronger supports and interventions. This team will roll up to 9 th and 10 th grade in the 15-16 school year. Staff and students are striving to create a more inclusive, nurturing place to learn. Student behavior has improved over the past 2 years; our suspension rate has been cut in half. Though it is a priority, students still are absent and/or tardy in large numbers. Current Reality in Relation to Academic Press at B&L: Data is used to inform instruction to a certain extent, but not systematically. We are progressing toward full implementation of CCSS. A sense of urgency around teaching and learning is apparent however, teachers need more support on developing rigorous tasks. A master schedule has been developed to support all learners and provide appropriate interventions as well as opportunities for AP and Community College courses. Students are beginning to take part in their academic goal setting. The staff is working hard to develop monitoring protocols to inform their instruction. All students have mastered annotation and are approaching proficiency around citing evidence when posed with text dependent questions. Instruction often includes close reading and lessons often include expository pieces to support learning. Collaborative conversations are emerging, however most classes are still very heavy with teacher talk. CORE AND SUPPLEMENTAL SUPPORTS The categorical expenses identified in this SPSA are supplemental to these core academic staffing and supports. TEACHER ALLOCATIONS: Teacher Allocations are based on dividing General Education Enrollment by the approved class size. High School: 1:30 NURSE: Allocated to schools based on Contract and managed centrally. Schools at 60% FRL (Free and Reduced Lunch) or greater receive one additional day. Enrollment/Days Per Week 1-592 = 1 day per week 593-1,185 = 2 days per week 1,186-1,774 = 3 days per week 1,775-2,366 = 4 days per week 2,367 and above = 5 days per week COUNSELOR Allocated to schools based on Contract. FTE Allocations are calculated by taking the total enrollment at the school and divide by the ratio below to determine the number of FTE allocated to the site. Secondary Schools will be allocated funding to support hourly counselor time prior to the beginning of school. High School = 4 days for each counselor. High School counselor ratio is 1:459.

We recognize universal high expectations for all students require ambitious and continual improvements in curriculum, instruction, assessment, leadership practices and support systems. These improvements require effective professional learning to expand educators' knowledge, skills, practices and dispositions. Schools demand effective professional learning focused on substantive results for themselves, their colleagues, and their students. We artfully combine deep understanding and cultural responsiveness to the community we serve. We hold high expectations with support for adult learning by providing multiple structures for professional development in order to achieve school goals. Professional learning is embedded into our vision by communicating that it is a core function for improvement and by establishing and maintaining a public and persistent focus on educator professional learning. With this understanding, professional development time is provided within the structure of Professional Learning Communities. Analysis of student data is through the lens of SDUSD's learning cycle focus, directly reflected in our vision - "How do we develop students who take an active stance in their own learning and become actively literate, contributing members of a society who make a positive difference in the world?" The school year is broken in to four learning cycles, each cycle building student capacity around this goal. The cycles are: Cycle I (August-November) - How do we develop an academic, social and physical environment worthy of our children? Cycle 2 (November -February) - How do we create classrooms that are alive with collaborative conversations? Cycle 3 (February - April) - How do we create the learning conditions that maximize the potential that is within the variability of all learners? Cycle 4 (April - June) - How do we develop students that take an active stance in their own learning and the learning of others? Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) analyze student data in order to monitor student progress toward these goals. Analysis results in responsive instruction. Findings and progress are shared with parents and community via advisory groups and School Site Councils (SSCs). SPSA Template Revised 4/16/2015 5
San Diego Business SINGLE PLAN FOR STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT PROGRAM IMPROVEMENT SCHOOLS YEARS 4 AND 5 (+) All professional development funds (30106) have been used to provide professional development opportunities for staff. This will help to continue the work to get Common Core State Standards work. SPSA ALIGNMENT TO THE LEA PLAN SDUSD s LEA goals (12 Quality Indicators for Success) are articulated throughout the SPSA. Each of the 5 Area Goals contained in the SPSA have Title I budgets allocated to supports identified within the LEA plan. Supports include but are not limited to CCSS curriculum alignment via PLC and professional development, extended and intensive learning opportunities, etc. as they are described in the Budget: Resources Aligned to Area Goals section of this plan. PROCESS FOR MODIFYING THE SPSA AND CONCLUSIONS The SSC has analyzed the academic performance of all student groups and has considered the effectiveness of key elements of the instructional program for students failing to meet API and AYP growth targets. In order to achieve the SMART goals and implement the major strategies and action steps set forth in the plan the following related actions and expenditures have been adopted to raise the academic performance of student groups not meeting state standards. Advisory groups were consulted during the SPSA development process as documented on the Recommendations and Assurances page. SPSA Template Revised 4/16/2015 6
