Form A: Planned Improvements in Student Performance
The School Site Council 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 academic performance index and adequate yearly progress growth targets.
As a result, it has adopted the following school goals, related actions, and expenditures to raise the academic performance of students not
yet meeting state standards:
LEA GOAL: LCAP Goal 1: Demonstrate robust achievement growth for all pupils; reduce disparity in levels of achievement between student
subgroups.
SCHOOL GOAL #1: 100% of Brandon students will increase their reading proficiency scores as measured by the DIBELS assessment, the Basic
Phonics Skills Test (BPST), site-based comprehension assessments, SBAC interim assessments, and SBAC scores

What were the findings from the analysis of this
data?
How will the school evaluate the
progress of this goal?
All grades levels scored in the 70% for CORE. First ●
grade will need support within the classroom with
certifcated tutors, as well as Tier 2 intervention with
researched based programs (SIPPS, Reads Naturally, ●
Lexia)
In classrooms K-4, we have push in and pull out
●
certificated tutor support to provide intervention in
identified areas.
We are still lacking in reading comprehension
●
benchmark data. We have created site based
assessments in order to monitor progress until the
district has developed benchmark assessments for ELA.
We are currently entering data onto our new data
systems in order to have a more effective way to
monitor progress throughout the year. This is a new tool
for all sites. In the interim, we will continue to use the
data sources as described.
Assessment data in the following areas:
fluency, reading comprehension, and
basic phonics skills.
Assessment data from the SBAC interim
assessments in ELA.
Data teams meetings five times a year to
discuss progress of students scoring in
the strategic or intensive area.
Progress monitoring six times or more per
year for students scoring in the strategic
or intensive area.
Where can a budget plan of the
proposed expenditures for this goal be
found?
There are no expenditures for this
goal.
STRATEGY: During 2015-16, Brandon will implement a school-wide assessment program to determine the needs of struggling
readers and English Language Learners as measured by benchmark assessments. We will assess students three-five times per
year to determine baseline scores and benchmark scores for the other two trimesters in order to monitor progress.
Action/Date
In August/September 2015, we
will do baseline assessments of
all students K-6th with the
DIBELS and BPST assessment.
Using the baseline data and data
from year end, we will determine
students in need of intervention
in specific areas of decoding,
reading fluency, or
comprehension.
Teachers will use differentiated
instructional strategies to provide
effective Tier 1 intervention.
Intervention programs such as
Reads Naturally to build fluency
and comprehension will be used.
SIPPS and Lexia will be
introduced this year to support a
systematic, sequential, researchbased differentiated intervention
support for those who need Tier
2 intervention.

What were the findings from the analysis of
this data?
Based on this data, our teachers need to focus on
providing a coherent, common core standards aligned
math program throughout the year. With the adoption of
the new curriculum, we hope to show more coherency
in our instruction. We will also continue to use
resources like Factswise to support fact fluency on a
consistent basis, especially in grades K-3. We need to
incorporate differentiated strategies to support students
on both ends of the spectrum-intervention and
acceleration.

LEA GOAL: Goal 3: The District will meet or exceed CELDT requirements for the Annual Measurable Achievement Objectives
(AMAOs) 1, 2, and 3 during the 2015-16 school year.
SCHOOL GOAL #3
English Learner Goal. 80% of Brandon students will demonstrate language fluency in order to meet CELDT requirements as defined by
the LEA Plan. We will use the CELDT assessments as well as the ADEPT assessments to monitor growth.

What data did you use to form this goal?
What were the findings from the
analysis of this data?
How will the school evaluate the
progress of this goal?
We looked at data from the 2014-15 CELDT and
from ADEPT formative assessments to determine
the needs of our students in order to meet language
proficiency.
When looking at the CELDT scores, Brandon’s
students are making progress in achieving
language fluency. We met all AMAO’s targets
last year. The majority of our students have
moved into the EA/A level (54%). Of those
students, 32% scored in the intermediate level
on reading on the CELDT assessment. When
looking at their fluency scores, 30 students met
fluency which tells us that we need to work on
reading comprehension strategies and
academic vocabulary with our EA/A EL’s.
We will assess the students up to three
times a year to determine areas of need
and monitor progress based on the
ADEPT. The CELDT test will be
administered in the Fall. These results will
be used to monitor additional language
needs going into the new year. We will
monitor reading comprehension using sitebased measures three times a year for
grades 2nd-6th grade.
79% of our 5th/6th graders in the EA/A level were

Form G: Single Plan for Student Achievement Annual Evaluation
Pursuant to California Education Code Section 64001(g), the School Site Council (SSC) must
evaluate at least annually the effectiveness of planned activities. In the cycle of continuous
improvement of student performance, evaluation of the results of goals will provide data to inform and
guide subsequent plans.
Plan Implementation
● Teachers attended the DIBELS assessment training in the Fall in order to be able to
administer and analyze fluency data. Teachers also were given site-based
comprehension text-dependent questions to monitor comprehension for each trimester.
● Certificated tutor support for English Language Development classes for all English
Language Learners has been fully implemented. Brandon has three certificated tutors 5
days a week to support each grade level’s 30 minutes of ELD instruction. We have also
added two additional certificated tutors to support math intervention and combo
classroom and kindergarten support.
● Teachers attended Professional Development sessions focused on the new math
curriculum: Bridges for K-5 and CPM for 6th grade. We have used staff meetings,
grade level planning and Instructional Specialist support to provide opportunities for
learning and collaboration.
● This year, we have four teachers who have been trained in SIPPS to provide Tier 2
intervention. We will use Lexia as an intervention program. Our 1st-6th grade teachers
were trained on how to use the program. Additional subscriptions were purchased so
more students have access to the Lexia program. Hard data on student progress in the
areas of Math and ELA were limited and not presently aligned with CCSS. This was an
area of need last year.
● Currently, we have no coherent data collection process except for the DIBELS and we
only have CFA’s in writing which gives us limited information. We are still working as a
district to provide more benchmark assessment data. This continues to be an area of
need.
Strategies and Activities
● In the areas of math and ELA, the use of certificated tutor support for the instruction of
ELD as well as small group instruction provided students opportunities to work in small
differentiated groups.
● Providing opportunities for teachers to collaborate regularly on site during release time,
data teams, and staff meetings, as well as attending professional development to inform
practice also proved to be an effective strategy.
● Based on the analysis of this practice, we recommend continuing our goals in ELA and
Math with the addition of adding systems for collecting data to monitor student progress
in a more coherent and consistent way. We have added an assessment timeline that
the site will follow throughout the year. We have increased our data team meetings to
five per year in order to provide additional opportunities to discuss progress monitoring
data.
15
Involvement/Governance
● Plan was drafted at the Site Council meeting on November 2014.
● The drafted plan was presented at the ELAC meeting and input was requested.
Questions clarifying our current ELD program were asked, but there were no changes to
the plan as a result of that meeting.
● The Plan was approved by the GUSD School Board in April.
● We will be writing the plan earlier in the year so as to allow for better monitoring of the
plan’s effectiveness by the SSC and other stakeholder groups throughout the year.
Outcomes
Goals for 2014-15
1. 80% of Brandon students will show grade level proficiency as determined by the DIBELS
assessment (K-6th) and benchmark reading comprehension assessments (2nd-6th
grade).
2. In math, 80% of Brandon students will show grade level proficiency at fact fluency based
on their appropriate grade level Factswise goal.
3. 80% of Brandon students will demonstrate language fluency in order to meet
CELDT requirements as defined by the LEA plan. We will use CELDT assessments to monitor growth.
Goals #1, #3 were met.
● We did not meet the second goal in that not all grades used Factwise to the fidelity of
the program in upper grades. We needed to provide more training for grades 5th and
6th in order to have Factswise be a more effective strategy/program. We also did not
monitor fact fluency on a trimester basis which would have been a more accurate picture
of growth throughout the year.
Plan Priorities
● Our priorities this past year was to ensure a focus on reading fluency as it connects to
reading comprehension. Teachers consistently monitored progress at least three times
a year. Our four data team meetings throughout the year to discuss progress supported
this goal in making sure we provided intervention for those in need. We will continue
with this goal so we can apply these skills as we take the SBAC for the second year.
● To meet Goal #3, we spent major expenditures for certificated tutors in order for grade
levels to provide instruction at identified proficiency levels for our second language
learners. We made sure that teachers had enough teacher support so students could
work at their language levels for daily instruction.
● We will continue to focus on fact fluency as well as math intervention for the following
year.

Form A: Planned Improvements in Student Performance
The School Site Council 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 academic performance index and adequate yearly progress growth
targets. As a result, it has adopted the following school goals, related actions, and expenditures to raise the academic performance of
students not yet meeting state standards:
LEA GOAL: LCAP GOAL 1: Demonstrate robust achievement growth for all pupils; reduce disparity in levels of achievement
between student subgroups.
SCHOOL GOAL:
1. 100% of El Camino Students in grades 3-6 will grow 10% in the areas of: 1) Problem Solving and Communicating Reasoning in Math; and 2)
Reading and Writing ELA as measured by a comparison of Spring 2015 and Spring 2016 results of the CAASPP.
2. The percentage of students meeting projected growth targets in Math and Reading as measured by a comparison of Spring 2015 and Spring
2016 MAP RIT scores are as follows:
• 81% of kindergarten students will meet projected growth targets in Reading, and 76% will meet projected growth targets in Math
• 66% of 1st grade students will meet projected growth targets in Reading and 75% will meet projected growth targets in Math
• 64% of 2nd grade students will meet projected growth targets in Reading and 56% will meet projected growth targets in Math
• 64% of 3rd grade students will meet projected growth targets in Reading and 61% will meet projected growth targets in Math
• 62% of 4th grade students will meet projected growth targets in Reading and 68% will meet projected growth targets in Math
• 61% of 5th and 6th grade students will meet projected growth targets in Reading and 69% will meet projected growth targets in Math

SPSA ANNUAL EVALUATION
Plan Priorities
•
•
LCAP GOAL 1 for all students: To work toward our overarching school-wide goal of,
“All Day Literacy for All”, 100% of El Camino grade levels will show a measured growth
of 10 points from Winter 2015 to Spring 2015 in Reading Comprehension (Literature and
Informational Text) and Foundational Skills as measured by mean RIT scores derived
from Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) assessments taken three times yearly. 4
out of 7 grade levels met the goals.
LCAP GOAL 1 for English Learners: 100% of El Camino English Learners will be
reclassified by the end of 6th grade GOAL 97% MET (all but 3 students qualified for
reclassification)
Funding Sources
•
Title 1, Title 111, and LCAP were the main funding sources supporting these
priorities.
Strategies and Activities
• Students took MAP test three times yearly in September, January and May
12
•
Teachers participated in triennial Grade level MAP PLCs
•
Teachers engaged students in academic goal setting
•
Student needs, both in acceleration and intervention, were identified and
addressed
•
100% of students in grades 3-6 received intervention/acceleration in the
computer lab.
•
English Learners (ELs) were assessed using the ADEPT and was used with the
CELDT to determine proficiency levels to create appropriate groupings
•
Certificated tutors were hired to teach English Only groups to facilitate small,
proficiency-level based ELD classes
•
English Learners received daily 30 minute instruction in English Language
Development instruction at their proficiency levels as measured by CELDT and
ADEPT assessments
•
Reading and Writing experiences were included in daily ELD instruction
•
English Learners received the same intervention/acceleration
opportunities/support as detailed in Goal 1
•
ELD classes were scheduled in the afternoon to protect ELA time and ensure EL
access to ELA instruction
•
EL student subgroup MAP scores were analyzed, and identified needs were
targeted
Strategies or activities that were particularly effective in improving student
achievement
• The purchase, implementation, and professional development on a
computer-based school-wide formative assessment program Measures
of Academic Progress (MAP), that measures progress three times a
year in Reading, Language, and Math, and the full implementation of
goal setting that accompanies MAP.
• Computer-based programs such as Lexia and Reading Plus used on a
daily basis in and out of the classroom. Specifically, in before and after
school intervention, and during Computer Clinic times for small group
intervention/acceleration.
• Extended school day Kindergarten Success Institute to bring students
up to grade level.
Strategies or activities that were ineffective or minimally effective in improving
student achievement.
•
Continuing to use the district Math and Language Arts curriculum with fidelity
•
Limiting professional development opportunities to support implementation
•
Lack of effective follow-up or coaching to support implementation
Strategies not implemented or partially implemented:
•
Language objectives did not accompany learning objectives during Math
and ELA
•
6th grade students did not take MAP test in May due to the increase in
hours needed
for state testing. Teachers and principal felt that teaching and learning
would suffer due to loss of instructional time.
•
Teachers received release time once annually (February) in grade level
PLCs focused on MAP data.
The goal to meet 100% of each student’s intervention/acceleration needs
is ongoing
Based on the analysis of this practice, would you recommend:
• Providing, and taking advantage of, effective follow-up and coaching to
support implementation of the math curriculum and Differentiated
Instruction
•
13
•
•
•
•
•
•
Providing extra intervention for the 5th grade cohort of students
Parent education nights on how to help parents help students at home,
especially with reading
Keeping all day literacy for all as overarching goal, but add specific
sections for math and ELA
Implement math curriculum with fidelity
Focus on enrichment for students who excel; keeping students
engaged
Include Math problem solving academic language and discourse in
ELD
Involvement/Governance

Input was sought and received by the ELAC on the 2014-2015 plan, the old goal
was reviewed, and the same goal pertaining to English learners was suggested,
discussed, and agreed upon.
•
The school site council discussed and reviewed progress toward goals
throughout the year.
ELAC meetings were held at night and ECSSC meetings were held during lunch
to facilitate participation and attendance.
Outcomes
•
•
All but 3rd, 5th and 6th grades met the goal of 100% grade levels growing by ten
RIT score points. One major factor was that 6th grade did not take the May MAP
test due to the increased testing time and volume of testing that occurred due to
new State testing (CAASPP).
•
96% of ELs were reclassified by the end of 6th grade. Five out of the 164
students (approximately 3%) who took the CELDT in 2013-2014 were 6th
graders. Although 60% (three) scored Early Advanced, none of the three were
reclassified.
•
El Camino School met state and federal performance goals for attaining English
Proficiency for English Learners.
Based on this information, what might be some recommendations for future steps to
meet these goals?
• Expand goal to include Math and ELA sub-goals, with a focus on Meaning
Making and Effective Expression in ELA, and Problem Solving and
Communicating Reasoning in Math. Multiple measures will include formative
Writing CFAs, interim MAP assessments, and CAASPP results.

Form A: Planned Improvements in Student Performance
The School Site Council 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 academic performance index and adequate yearly progress growth
targets. As a result, it has adopted the following school goals, related actions, and expenditures to raise the academic performance of
students not yet meeting state standards.
Lead Educational Agency (LEA) GOAL: Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) GOAL 1: Demonstrate robust achievement
growth for all pupils; reduce disparity in levels of achievement between student subgroups.
SCHOOL GOAL 1: 100% of our student cohorts will increase reading proficiency as measured by Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early
Literacy Skills (DIBELS), Basic Phonics Skills Test (BPST), Renaissance STAR Reading Program (RenSTAR), and Smarter Balanced
Assessment Consortium (SBAC) Tests.
What data did you use to form this
goal?
RenSTAR: year-to-year comparison - 40th
percentile ranking (PR) or higher

Principal
California Education Code describes the required composition of the School Site Council (SSC).
The SSC shall be composed of the principal and representatives of: teachers selected by
teachers at the school; other school personnel selected by other school personnel at the school;
parents of pupils attending the school selected by such parents; and, in secondary schools,
pupils selected by pupils attending the school.2 The current make-up of the SSC is as follows:
Form G: Single Plan for Student Achievement Annual Evaluation
Pursuant to California Education Code Section 64001(g), the School Site Council (SSC)
must evaluate at least annually the effectiveness of planned activities. In the cycle of
continuous improvement of student performance, evaluation of the results of goals will
provide data to inform and guide subsequent plans.
Annual evaluation by the SSC and local educational agency (LEA) is a critical part of
the continuous cycle of improvement for a school. Furthermore, it is an integral
component of the Compensatory Education (CE) Federal Program Monitoring (FPM)
review process for Single Plan for Student Achievements (SPSAs). During an FPM
review, the SSC and LEA must be able to provide evidence of the evaluation process to
determine if the needs of students are being met by the strategies described in the
SPSA.
The SPSA annual evaluation may be a summary description of the school’s progress
toward implementation of the strategies and actions in the SPSA. The report may also
include a data analysis of the school’s progress towards its student achievement goals
based on local, state, or national assessment data.
During the evaluation process, it is important for the SSC and LEA to exercise caution
about jumping to conclusions about the effectiveness or non-effectiveness of specific
activities and programs without examining the underlying causes. The SSC and LEA
should consider all relevant factors when evaluating the plan, such as the degree of
implementation, student enrollment changes, and health and safety issues.
Plan Priorities
Our priorities this past year was to ensure our students were progressing in English
Language Arts (ELA).
Similarly, we wanted to ensure our English Language Learner (ELL) students were
progressing in language acquisition as well.
Last, we prioritized Math facts fluency improvement based upon anecdotal evidence
and one indicator (i.e. FactsWise).
The majority of our budgets- local, state, and federal, were dedicated to the supports
necessary to implement our action and tasks associated with the plan.
Our major expenditures included staffing, ELA intervention materials, Renaissance
STAR, and release time for staff. We continue to need data to inform and guide
subsequent plans.
13
Plan Implementation
We accomplished three strategies associated with our goals- implement an MTSS to
address students’ needs in ELA, provide systematic ELL instruction, and improve math
facts fluency. While, we have accomplished our intended plan, the outcomes identified
the need to refine our systems to increase our effectiveness to identify and intervene for
the varied needs of our students.
The actions listed in the 2014-2015 SPSA were implemented but not refined. We:
• Trained staff in MTSS
• Established a Student-Study Team (SST)
• Conducted systematic ELD instruction
• Conducted systematic FactsWise implementation and Number Talks K-6
Still, we fell short in some of our tasks. As noted in this year’s goals, our data collection
system was limited last year and therefore, is a focus this year in monitoring student
progress. As noted in the 2014-2015 goals, the absence of data indicates a need to
increase assessment use systematically. The district has moved to DIBELS for all K-5
students.
Additionally, we started Tier II interventions and are working to improve the process.
The school (and district) has implemented a benchmark system as well as progress
monitoring process for students in need of intervention. While we have implemented
many of the tasks listed in the plan, this year should be a refining process to ensure
effective implementation.
Strategies and Activities
Based on our analysis of available data last year, we determined specific strategies to
accomplish our goals. We were able to train a core team, provide initial MTSS training
to all staff, use our limited data to identify students in need of targeted instruction, create
a process to document students in need of intervention, provide extended day, use
appropriate intervention materials, and create a schedule conducive to MTSS.
We accomplished many of our listed activities but need another year, at least, to refine
the process of MTSS and its accompanying components- assessments, interventions,
data analysis and instructional response.
Involvement/Governance
The School Site Council met regularly to discuss budget priorities, the school handbook,
and the Single Plan for Student Achievement among other topics. The SSC discussed
and then drafted the Single Plan aligned with available data.
For input from a wider array of stakeholders, we surveyed parents, students and staff to
prioritize next year’s objectives.
14
Outcomes
Goals for 2014-2015
The following outcomes were accomplished:
1. 88% of Ellwood students demonstrated growth according to the Renaissance
Student Grade Equivalency.
100% of our planned actions were implemented: MTSS training, SST process,
monitor implementation.
2. ELL – 80% of our ELL students demonstrated growth in language fluency as
evidenced on CELDT or ADEPT scores.
3. Ellwood students worked hard to meet grade level FactsWise Goals. There was
not a comprehensive data collection process to see if we met these schoolwide
targets.
Based on this information, we recommend that a more comprehensive data system be
used to meet this goal.
Figure 1: Multi-Tiered Systems of Academic Support
Tiers 1 and 2 are usually delivered in the general education classroom. Level 2 and 3 may
be Learning Center (general education) or Special Education (determined by
Individualized Education Plan). Tier 3 is nearly always though Special Education.

Form A: Planned Improvements in Student Performance
The School Site Council 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 academic performance index and adequate yearly progress growth
targets. As a result, it has adopted the following school goals, related actions, and expenditures to raise the academic performance of
students not yet meeting state standards:
LEA GOAL: Demonstrate robust student achievement growth for all pupils; reduce disparity in levels of achievement between
student subgroups.
SCHOOL GOAL: 100% of our student cohorts will increase reading proficiency as measured by DIBELS, BPST, RenSTAR, and Smarter Balanced
Assessments.
What data did you use to form this goal?
Renaissance STAR year-to-year comparison
DIBELS data
Percent of students at CORE
K- 67% (LNF)
1st- 57% (LNF), 44% average on BPST,
2nd- 75% (ORF), 74% average on BPST, RenSTAR48th Percentile Rank (PR)
3rd- 80%, RenSTAR-67PR,
4th- 73%, RenSTAR-66PR, SB 67% Met or Exceeded
5th- 69%, RenSTAR-58PR, SB 74% Met or Exceeded
6th- 84%, RenSTAR-59PR, SB 73% Met or Exceeded
What were the findings from the
analysis of this data?
We still suffer from a lack of systematic
data collection but the district is working to
remedy that. In fact, the list of multiple
measures ensures that staff can conduct
productive data analysis to intervene for
students. Additionally, we lack a
mathematics goal because we are
implementing a new math program and
therefore will not identify growth measures
until the program is implemented for at
least one year.
How will the school evaluate the progress
of this goal?
Initial, mid and end-of-year assessments on
Renaissance STAR Reading
Initial, mid and end-of-year DIBELS in all
grades.
Progress monitoring (Six-Minute Solution,
DIBELS) for targeted students
Collaborative inquiry decisions
Where can a budget plan of the proposed
expenditures for this goal be found?

LEA GOAL: Demonstrate robust student achievement growth for all pupils; reduce disparity in levels of achievement between
student subgroups.
SCHOOL GOAL: Eighty percent or more of Foothill/GFS English Learners (EL) will demonstrate growth in language fluency as evidenced by
Smarter Balanced, CELDT and/or ADEPT assessments.
What data did you use to form this
goal?
2015 SB percent met or exceeded and
mean scale score.
SED- 50% of students in grades 3-6 met or
exceeded standards and had a mean scale
score of 2411.1, 2441.8, 2515.6 and
2549.6 in 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th grade
respectively.
RFEP- 73% of students in grades 3-6 met
or exceeded standards and had a mean
scale of 2485.1, 2519.2, and 2599.3 in 4th,
5th, and 6th grade respectively. No scale
score for 3rd grade is available due to <10.
CELDT scores- 36% met AMAO 2
Attaining English Proficiency
ADEPTS- 82% demonstrated growth
Band growth- 11 (50%) out of 22 students
demonstrated band growth.
What were the findings from the analysis of this data?
36% of our EL students who attained English proficiency have
been in the ELD program less than five years. Fifty percent of our
students demonstrated band growth from 2013-2014 to 2014-2015
CELDT scores.
Last, when comparing English Only to English Learning students
on the Smarter Balanced, 6 out of 7 data points (average level)
indicate that EL students consistently score lower than their EO
counterparts.
Seventy Four percent of our overall population met or exceeded

Principal
California Education Code describes the required composition of the School Site Council (SSC).
The SSC shall be composed of the principal and representatives of: teachers selected by
teachers at the school; other school personnel selected by other school personnel at the school;
parents of pupils attending the school selected by such parents; and, in secondary schools,
pupils selected by pupils attending the school.2 The current make-up of the SSC is as follows:

Form G: Single Plan for Student Achievement Annual Evaluation
Pursuant to California Education Code Section 64001(g), the School Site Council (SSC)
must evaluate at least annually the effectiveness of planned activities. In the cycle of
continuous improvement of student performance, evaluation of the results of goals will
provide data to inform and guide subsequent plans.
Annual evaluation by the SSC and local educational agency (LEA) is a critical part of
the continuous cycle of improvement for a school. Furthermore, it is an integral
component of the Compensatory Education (CE) Federal Program Monitoring (FPM)
review process for Single Plan for Student Achievements (SPSAs). During an FPM
review, the SSC and LEA must be able to provide evidence of the evaluation process to
determine if the needs of students are being met by the strategies described in the
SPSA.
The SPSA annual evaluation may be a summary description of the school’s progress
toward implementation of the strategies and actions in the SPSA. The report may also
include a data analysis of the school’s progress towards its student achievement goals
based on local, state, or national assessment data.
During the evaluation process, it is important for the SSC and LEA to exercise caution
about jumping to conclusions about the effectiveness or non-effectiveness of specific
activities and programs without examining the underlying causes. The SSC and LEA
should consider all relevant factors when evaluating the plan, such as the degree of
implementation, student enrollment changes, and health and safety issues.
SPSA ANNUAL EVALUATION
Plan Priorities
Our priorities this past year was to ensure our students were progressing in English
Language Arts.
Similarly, we wanted to ensure our English Learner students were progressing in
language acquisition as well.
Last, we prioritized school climate improvement based upon anecdotal evidence and
one indicator (CA Healthy Kids Survey).
The majority of our budgets- local, state, and federal, were dedicated to the supports
necessary to implement our action and tasks associated with the plan.
Our major expenditures included staffing, ELA intervention materials, Renaissance
STAR, and release time for staff.
Plan Implementation
We accomplished three strategies associated with our goals- implement an MTSS to
address students’ needs in ELA, provide systematic EL instruction, and establish a
positive school climate. While, we have accomplished our intended plan, the outcomes
identified the need to refine our systems to increase our effectiveness to identify and
intervene for the varied needs of our students.
The actions listed in the 2014-2015 SPSA were implemented but not refined. We:
11
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Trained staff in MTSS
Established a Student-Study Team (SST)
Conducted systematic ELD instruction
Coordinated an MTSS schedule that facilitated integrated and designated ELD
support throughout the school day.
Minimized historical delays in intervention due to ELD program
Increased student leadership and Service Learning opportunities
Engaged parents through varied venues and
Monitored attendance rates.
Still, we fell short in some of our tasks. As noted in this year’s goals, our data collection
system was limited last year and therefore, is a focus this year in monitoring student
progress. As noted in the 2014-2015 goal, the absence of data indicates a need to
increase assessment use systematically. We did not administer the San Diego Quick
assessment for our K-1 students. The district has moved to DIBELS for all K-5 students.
Additionally, we started Tier II interventions and are working to improve the process.
The school (and district) have implemented a benchmark system as well as progress
monitoring process for students in need of intervention. While we have implemented
many of the tasks listed in the plan, this year should be a refining process to ensure
effective implementation.
Strategies and Activities
Based on our analysis of available data last year, we determined specific strategies to
accomplish our goals. We were able to train a core team, provide initial MTSS training
to all staff, use our limited data to identify students in need of targeted instruction, create
a process to document students in need of intervention, provide extended day, use
appropriate intervention materials, and create a schedule conducive to MTSS.
We accomplished many of our listed activities but need another year, at least, to refine
the process of MTSS and its accompanying components- assessments, interventions,
data analysis and instructional response.
Involvement/Governance
The School Site Council met regularly to discuss budget priorities, the school handbook,
and the Single Plan for Student Achievement among other topics. The SSC discussed
and then drafted the Single Plan aligned with available data.
For input from a wider array of stakeholders, we surveyed parents, students and staff to
prioritize next year’s objectives.
12
Outcomes
Goals for 2014-2015
The following outcomes were accomplished:
1. 88% of Foothill students demonstrated growth according to the Renaissance
Student Grade Equivalency.
2. 100% of our planned actions were implemented-MTSS training, SST process,
monitor implementation.
2. EL- 80% of our EL students demonstrated growth in language fluency as evidenced
on CELDT and/or ADEPT scores.
3. According to perception surveys conducted in March 2015, 88% of parents
responded positively to school climate conditions. For second grade, 98% of our
students responded positively, while 77% of our 5th graders responded positively to
school climate conditions.

Form A: Planned Improvements in Student Performance
The School Site Council 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 academic performance index and adequate yearly progress growth
targets. As a result, it has adopted the following school goals, related actions, and expenditures to raise the academic performance of
students not yet meeting state standards:
LEA GOAL: LCAP Goal 1: Demonstrate robust achievement growth for all pupils: reduce disparity in levels of achievement
between student groups.
SCHOOL GOAL(s) 1: English Language Arts
All Isla Vista School students will increase reading proficiency as measured by DIBELs, SRI, and CAASPP assessments.
Formative Assessment Guiding Targets:
65% of K-6th grade Isla Vista students will demonstrate grade level proficiency (Core Level) in reading achievement as measured by the DIBELs
end of year benchmark assessments.
60% of 2nd-6th grade students will perform at the Core or Enrichment levels of the Scholastic Reading Inventory.
60% of 3rd-6th grade students will meet or exceed standards in English Language Arts as measured by the CAASPP.
Less than 20% of students school-wide will be classified as needing intensive intervention as measured by end-of-year grade level benchmarks
on the DIBELs assessment.
What data did you use to form this goal?
Baseline fall benchmark data was
collected school-wide (TK-6th) for
reading fluency with the DIBELs
assessment.
Core: 61%, Intensive: 24%
Baseline benchmark data was collected
in grades 2nd-6th grade for reading
comprehension with the Scholastic
Reading Inventory (SRI).
Core: 54%, Intensive: 29%
CASSPP data:
54% Met/Exceeded standards

What were the findings from the analysis of
this data?
How will the school evaluate the progress
of this goal?
Overall, we are significantly up in
performance in English Language Arts as
compared to a year ago. Students
maintained their achievement from spring
benchmarks to fall benchmarks.
Students will participate in benchmark
assessments 3x year for both the DIBELs
(TK-6th) and SRI (2nd-6th). Progress
monitoring will be performed monthly for
all students determined as needing
intensive and strategic intervention.
A larger than expected number of students

intervention. It was noted that many
students made significant gains, although not School Site Council documents
enough to move to the strategic level of
achievement.
STRATEGY: During 2015-2016, Isla Vista School will fully implement our MTSS (Multi-Tiered System of Supports) to support students with
superior core instruction as well as support additional needs identified for achieving grade level standards in English Language Arts.

LEA GOAL: LCAP Goal 3: Apply best practices in teaching and learning, including effective implementation of new State
Standards, including mathematics, ELA, and science
SCHOOL GOALs 2: Math
During the 2015-2016 school year, teachers will become trained and implement the new district adopted math materials with fidelity to support all
students in the teaching, instruction, and learning of the new CCSS in mathematics. Assessment tools and processes for the collection of
mathematics data will be reviewed and determined to be in place for data collection and analysis for the 2016-2017 year.
What data did you use to form this goal?
GUSD adopted a new math curriculum
this year. Bridges for K-5, CPM for 6th
grade.
We currently do not collect common
mathematics assessments data.
What were the findings from the analysis of
this data?
How will the school evaluate the progress
of this goal?
Math curriculum and development has been
a focus during the last several years’ teacher
collaboration meetings. GUSD adopted new
math curriculum this year. Teachers have
identified this process as an area of needed
focus for the year before we can move
forward with systematic mathematics
intervention and supports.
Assessments for data collection will be
determined and ready for school-wide
decision making for identifying additional
math needs systematically in 2016-2017.
Teacher feedback and observation will be
utilized to determine full-scale math
implementation was achieved.

LEA GOAL: Goal 3: The District will meet or exceed CELDT requirements for the Annual Measurable Achievement Objectives
(AMAOs) 1, 2 and 3 during the 2015-16 school year.
SCHOOL GOAL 3: English Learners
62% of Isla Vista students will demonstrate growth in language fluency in order to meet CELDT requirements as delineated in the LEA Plan, as
determined by the annual CELDT test and ADEPT benchmark assessments.
What data did you use to form this goal?
Data from 2014-2015 CELDT and
ADEPT formative assessments. The
Gap Finder formative assessment is
utilized for long-term English Learners
making minimal progress.
What were the findings from the analysis of
this data?
How will the school evaluate the progress
of this goal?
Isla Vista’s English Learning students are
making steady progress in achieving
language fluency as measured by the
CELDT and ADEPT assessments. Some
students are taking longer than one year to
move from the Intermediate fluency level into
Early Advanced.
ADEPT assessment will be given 3 times
during the year to all students. (Baseline,
mid-year, end of year)
CELDT will be given during the state
mandated window ending on Oct. 30.
Where can a budget plan of the proposed
expenditures for this goal be found?

California Education Code describes the required composition of the School Site Council (SSC).
The SSC shall be composed of the principal and representatives of: teachers selected by
teachers at the school; other school personnel selected by other school personnel at the school;
parents of pupils attending the school selected by such parents; and, in secondary schools,
pupils selected by pupils attending the school.4 The current make-up of the SSC is as follows:

Form G: Single Plan for Student Achievement Annual Evaluation
Pursuant to California Education Code Section 64001(g), the School Site Council (SSC)
must evaluate at least annually the effectiveness of planned activities. In the cycle of
continuous improvement of student performance, evaluation of the results of goals will
provide data to inform and guide subsequent plans.
Annual evaluation by the SSC and local educational agency (LEA) is a critical part of
the continuous cycle of improvement for a school. Furthermore, it is an integral
component of the Compensatory Education (CE) Federal Program Monitoring (FPM)
review process for Single Plan for Student Achievements (SPSAs). During an FPM
review, the SSC and LEA must be able to provide evidence of the evaluation process to
determine if the needs of students are being met by the strategies described in the
SPSA.
SPSA 2014-2015 ANNUAL EVALUATION
SPSA Priorities (2014-2015)
LEA GOAL: LCAP Goal 1: Demonstrate robust achievement growth for all pupils:
reduce disparity in levels of achievement between student groups.
SCHOOL GOAL(s) 1: English Language Arts
70% of TK-6th grade Isla Vista students will demonstrate grade level proficiency (Core Level) in
reading achievement as measured by the DIBELs end of year benchmark assessments.
60% of 2nd-6th grade students will perform at the Core or Enrichment levels of the Scholastic
Reading Inventory.
Less than 20% of students school-wide will be classified as needing intensive intervention as
measured by end-of-year grade level benchmarks on the DIBELs assessment.
LEA GOAL: LCAP Goal 3: Apply best practices in teaching and learning, including
effective implementation of new State Standards, including mathematics, ELA,
and science
SCHOOL GOAL 2: Math
During the 2014-2015 school year, teachers will develop strategies and curriculum to support
the teaching, instruction, and learning of the new CCSS in mathematics to support all students.
LEA GOAL: Goal 3: The District will meet or exceed CELDT requirements for the
Annual Measurable Achievement Objectives (AMAOs) 1, 2 and 3 during the 2014-15
school year.
SCHOOL GOAL 3: English Learners
80% of Isla Vista students will demonstrate growth in language fluency in order to meet CELDT
requirements as delineated in the LEA Plan, as determined by the annual CELDT test and
ADEPT benchmark assessments.

Teachers were trained in assessments and the use of data to guide instruction.
All students were benchmark assessed three times per year. Students identified
with additional needs were progress monitored monthly.
All students set reading goals.
Teachers and support staff met monthly during Data Teams to review student
progress and update student goals.
Targeted intervention was implemented in first through third grade during
Learning Teams, Kindergarten and Fourth grades provided intervention
embedded in the classroom with additional support, and fifth/sixth grade
participated in an intensive program for those with that need.
Students not making adequate progress toward their goals were referred to Child
Success Team meetings to review alternative solutions and strategies. Our
MTSS (multi-tiered system of supports) team participated in further professional
development in this area of need.
Materials were purchased to support systematic implementation of intervention
and extension.
All students participated in our Reading Counts program as a collaboration
between librarian and teachers.
Approximately 145 students participated in our after-school program, daily.
Priority was given to those students with the greatest academic and/or
social/emotional needs as identified by classroom teachers and school
personnel. About an average of 50 students participated in our before-school
drop-in program for students in need of childcare or tutoring.
Our school psychologist, psychologist intern, and UCSB Power of Play
undergraduate volunteers supported many students on campus with a range of
social/emotional needs—such as self-regulation instruction and friendship skills.
Teachers collaborated around instructional planning during monthly release
times provided by the district, substitute days provided for teams to plan and
implement math strategies, as well as weekly grade level collaboration time
during PE.
Additional technology devices were acquired to support sixth grade to 1:1 iPads,
allowing for a flipped classroom model during math as well as more student
engagement overall.
Several teachers attended training on the New ELD/ELA standards, sharing this
information with staff. Teachers were encouraged to expand ELD strategies
throughout all subject areas.
A parent education night was hosted for parents to learn more about the
Common Core standards in ELA and Math. Additionally, several families
participated in a district joint partnership at the Community Center for Spanish
speaking families to learn more about how to support their children in school.
Seven teachers and the principal attended the No Excuses University Institute.
Staff planned steps for implementation for the 2015-2016 year.
Involvement/Governance
• School Site Council reviewed the teacher and family survey data, student
achievement data, and budget information to develop school priorities, goals, and
strategies.
• The ELAC (English Language Learner Advisory Committee) reviewed the same
teacher and family survey data, student achievement data, and budget
information as the SSC. They asked questions and provided feedback that the
principal shared with the SSC.
• As data was collected and student goals set, this information was shared with
SSC, ELAC, teachers at staff meetings, and families during student-teacher
conferences.
Outcomes
• Fall 2014 DIBELs fluency data identified 25% of K-6 students as needing
intensive intervention, 16% of K-6 students as needing strategic intervention, and
59% of students on grade level or above. DIBELs data is designed to be one
data point to help teachers identify which students may need further support to
be on grade level by the end of the year. It should be noted that we observed a
large number of kindergarten students showing no need for intervention at the
beginning of the year based on this one measure. We anticipate looking at an
additional measure for K in the 2015-2016 school year to better identify student
needs.
• Spring 2015 DIBELs fluency data identified 24% of K-6 students as needing
intensive intervention, 15% of students needing strategic intervention, and 61%
as grade level or above.
• Fall 2014 SRI comprehension data for grades 2nd-6th identified 49% of students
with intensive/strategic needs, 21% of students at grade level, and 23% of
students above grade level with a baseline of 44% of students on or above
grade level in the fall of 2014 in reading.
• Spring 2015 SRI comprehension data identified 47% of K-6 students as having
intensive/strategic needs, 23% as at grade level, and 30% as above grade level
with an overall of 54% of students at or above grade level in the spring of
2015 in reading.
• CAASPP data (formerly referred to as SBAC) shows that 55% of Isla Vista
students in 3rd through 6th grade for the 2014-2015 school year met or
exceeded the standard in English Language Arts. This is above the state
average (44%) and above the Goleta Union School District average (54%).
• CAASPP data (formerly referred to as SBAC) shows that 46% of Isla Vista
students in 3rd through 6th grade for the 2014-2015 school year met or
exceeded the standard in Mathematics. This is above the state average
(33%) and above the Goleta Union School District average (45%).
• 61.1% of English Learners have made their annual target progress. We
exceeded the state target of 59%. Our data shows that our beginning students
make significant progress, but growth out of early Intermediate and intermediate
progress gains are slower.

Form A: Planned Improvements in Student Performance
The School Site Council 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 academic performance index and adequate yearly progress growth
targets. As a result, it has adopted the following school goals, related actions, and expenditures to raise the academic performance of
students not yet meeting state standards:
LEA GOAL: Demonstrate robust achievement growth for all pupils; reduce disparity in levels of achievement between student
subgroups. (LCAP, Goal 1)
SCHOOL GOAL #1: On the Spring DIBELs (Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills), 70% of K-6 students will be at the core
level. Grade 3 through 6 students will show a 5% increase from 64% to 69% on the 2016 ELA Smarter Balanced Assessment.
What data did you use to form this goal?
A combination of AimsWeb and DIBELs
assessment data from last year was used to
write this year’s goal. The following
assessments were given for different grade
levels (LNF-Letter Naming Fluency; NWNonsense Word; RCBM-Reading CurriculumBased Measurement)
DIBELS (Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early
Literacy Skills - Kindergarten and third grade)
SBAC (Smarter Balanced Assessment
Consortium-Grade 3-6)
Percent of students at CORE:
K- 73% LNF-DIBELs
1st- 80% NW
2nd- 75% RCBM
3rd-70% DIBELs, SBAC 70% Met or Exceeded
4th- 94% RCBM, SBAC 62% Met or Exceeded
5th- 71%,RCBM, SBAC 66% Met or Exceeded
6th- 63% RCBM, SBAC 58% Met or Exceeded
What were the findings from the
analysis of this data?
How will the school evaluate the
progress of this goal?
Multiple measures ensure that the staff
can conduct ongoing, productive data
analysis to provide systematic
interventions for students needing Tier 2
and Tier 3 interventions. The combination
of 2014-15 AimsWeb/DIBELs data
indicated 73% of Kellogg students met
benchmark targets by the spring trimester.
Initial, mid- and end-of-year DIBELS in all
grades.
Progress monitoring (SIPPs, DIBELS) for
targeted students.
Review SBAC scores following 2016
assessment.
Where can a budget plan of the proposed
expenditures for this goal be found?

STRATEGY: During 2015–16, Kellogg will implement school-wide, research-based ELA instructional strategies and interventions to identified
students as part of the Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) structure. We will use the DIBELs ELA Assessments in grades K-6th to identify
students who could benefit from weekly intervention in ELA provided by the Learning Center Staff in the areas of reading fluency and
comprehension. The progress of struggling readers and English learners will be measured by benchmark assessments (baseline, trimester probes,
summative) administered throughout the year as part of Kellogg’s MTSS strategy.

targets. As a result, it has adopted the following school goals, related actions, and expenditures to raise the academic performance of
students not yet meeting state standards:
LEA GOAL: Demonstrate robust achievement growth for all pupils; reduce disparity in levels of achievement between student
subgroups. (LCAP Goal 1)
Coherent standards-aligned Instructional program in all school to improve student achievement, including; the development of factfluency and part-whole thinking; engaging the Mathematical Practices through Number Talks and mathematical discourse; and
implementation of the CCSS math content standards. (LEA Plan Goal II)
SCHOOL GOAL #2: Teachers shall fully implement the Bridges K-5 and College Preparatory Math (CPM) Programs during the 2015-16
school year. Teachers will record post assessment data on a google data sheet and later the EADMs data management system to
provide information for grade level MTSS data team meetings as well as individual MTSS meetings.
What data did you use to form this goal?
AimsWeb year-to-year comparison (QDMQuantity Discrimination Measurement; NWNonsense Word; M-CAP- Mathematics Concepts
and Applications; M-COMP – Mathematics
Computation.)

What were the findings from the analysis of this
data?
How will the school evaluate the
progress of this goal?
Multiple measures ensure that the staff can conduct
ongoing, productive data analysis to provide
systematic interventions for students needing Tier 2
and Tier 3 interventions. The combination of 2014-15
AimsWeb data indicated 74% of Kellogg students
met benchmark targets by the spring trimester.
Discrepancies between AimsWeb and SBAC scores
were noted, specifically in grade 3.
Post unit/chapter assessments will be
monitored through the MTSS process in
all grades at the three, data team
meetings and as needed for individual
student MTSS meetings.
Review SBAC scores following 2016
assessment.
Using curriculum based assessments and a math
program with a strong scope and sequence, a more
predictable connection between classroom
assessment and Smarter Balance results is
expected.

Form A: Planned Improvements in Student Performance
The School Site Council 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 academic performance index and adequate yearly progress growth
targets. As a result, it has adopted the following school goals, related actions, and expenditures to raise the academic performance of
students not yet meeting state standards:
LEA GOAL: The District will meet or exceed CELDT requirements for the Annual Measurable Achievement Objectives (AMAOs) 1 and 2
during the 2015-16 school year.
SCHOOL GOAL #3: English Learner (EL) Goal - 62% of Kellogg’s EL students will demonstrate growth in language fluency in order to meet AMAO
1 (Annual Growth) goal as determined by CELDT requirements for the 2015-16 school year as delineated in the LEA Plan. Kellogg EL students with
less than 5 years in the United States will meet the AMAO 2 (Attaining English Proficiency) target of 25.5% for the 2015-16 school year. Progress
will be monitored throughout the year using CELDT data and ADEPT benchmark assessments.
What data did you use to form this
goal?
What were the findings from the analysis of this
data?
How will the school evaluate the progress
of this goal?
AMAO 1 derived from 2014-15 CELDT
score:
75.3% grew a minimum of one level in
their English proficiency rates . (Federal
target: 60.5)
38.3% of our EL students who attained English
proficiency have been in the ELD program less than
five years.
75.3% of our students demonstrated band growth from
2013-2014 to 2014-2015 CELDT scores.
21% or 7 of our 34 grade 3-6 students Met or Exceeded
ELA standards in the baseline year of SBAC.
40% or 15 grade 3-6 students Met or Exceeded
standards in Mathematics in the baseline year of SBAC.
Additionally, out of 73 EL students last year, 18
demonstrated no growth as determined by the CELDT.
Last, when comparing English Only to English Learning
students on the Smarter Balanced, EL students
consistently score lower than their EO counterparts.
83% of English Only students Met or Exceeded ELA
standards and 79% of English Learners Met or
Exceeded standards in Mathematics as evidenced in

ADEPT assessment will be given 2 times
during the year to all students. (Baseline, midyear, end of year) The May 2015 ADEPT
score will be reviewed and compared to the
fall 2015 ADEPT score.
CELDT will be given during the state
mandated window ending on Oct. 30.
Principal will monitor effective practices
through use of formal and informal
observations.

KELLOGG SCHOOL SPSA ANNUAL EVALUATION
Plan Priorities:
Form G: Goals from the 2014-2015 Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA):
GOAL #1:
SCHOOL GOAL #1: ELA 80% of Kellogg students will meet grade level performance
expectations in English Language Arts in the spring of 2015 as determined by the AimsWeb
assessment in all grades, with the exception of third grade which will be using the DIBELs
(Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills) assessment.
Kindergarten students will perform at “benchmark” using the AimsWeb Letter Naming Fluency
assessment.
First grade students will perform at “benchmark” using the AimsWeb Nonsense Word Fluency
assessment.
Students will be expected to score at “benchmark” using a reading fluency assessment in grades
2-6.
(LEA GOAL: LCAP GOAL 1: Demonstrate robust achievement growth for all pupils; reduce
disparity in levels of achievement between student subgroups.)
GOAL #2:
SCHOOL GOAL: Math 75% of Kellogg students will show grade level proficiency at numerical
fact fluency as determined by reaching mastery of grade level FactsWise goals in grades 1-3.
70% of Kellogg students in grades 4-6 will show grade level proficiency as evidenced using
AimsWeb math assessments.
(LEA GOAL: LCAP GOAL 1: Demonstrate robust achievement growth for all pupils; reduce
disparity in levels of achievement between
student subgroups.
LEA PLAN GOAL 2: Coherent standards-aligned Instructional program in all school to improve
student achievement, including; the development of fact-fluency and part-whole thinking;
engaging the Mathematical Practices through Number Talks and mathematical discourse; and
implementation of the CCSS math content standards.)
GOAL #3:
SCHOOL GOAL: English Learner Goal 60.5% of Kellogg’s English Learner students will
demonstrate growth in language fluency in order to meet AMAO 1 (Annual Growth) goal as
determined by CELDT requirements for the 2014-15 school year as delineated in the LEA Plan.
Kellogg students with less than 5 years in the United States, will meet the AMAO 2 (Attaining
English Proficiency) target of 24.2 for the 2014-15 school year.
Progress will be monitored throughout the year using CELDT data and ADEPT benchmark
assessments.
(LEA GOAL: LCAP GOAL 1: Demonstrate robust achievement growth for all pupils; reduce
disparity in levels of achievement between
student subgroups.
LCAP GOAL 3: The District will meet or exceed CELDT requirements for the Annual
Measurable Achievement Objectives (AMAOs) 1, 2
and 3 during the 2014-15 school year.)
14
Major expenditures supporting these priorities:
1. Certificated Tutors to support ELD and two combination classes- $42,498
2. Instructional materials to support new standards - $6,196
3. Funds used to provide AimsWeb and Lexia - $5,015
4. Teachers attended conferences off site to support ELD and Math
Instruction (FactsWise, Daily 5 ELA Training, ADEPT training) - $3,719
Plan Implementation:
1. Staff received materials, time lines, staff meeting and district release time to
review AimsWeb data throughout the year. Data was used to identify students
needing extra support in the learning center in both math and ELA. A google
document was maintained to monitor progress three times over the course of the
year. (Site measures using AimsWeb and DIBELS was used in the absence of
standardized state test scores, (i.e. STAR).
2. Teachers were given district Professional Development opportunities to teach
strategies for writing summaries of narrative and summaries of expository text at
the beginning of the year. District Teacher On Special Assignment (TOSA)
provided support to teachers across the district. Grade level meetings were held to
review samples, discuss patterns and plan future instruction to meet needs of
students in their writing. Results were shared at a staff meeting.
3. Certificated Tutor support for English Language Development and Academic
Language Development classes for Learning Teams was fully implemented 30
minutes a day to all English Language Learners. Kellogg used Certificated Tutors
daily to support reduced teacher to student ratios for each grade level’s 30
minutes ELD instruction.
Strategies in the current SPSA that were not fully implemented as described in the
plan or were not implemented within the specified timelines:
1. Although 80% was the school-wide target for ELA, school-wide 73% of Kellogg
students performed at the proficient level in ELA, with specific grade level
performances indicated on Table 1.
2. Although 70% was the school-wide target for Math in grades 4-6, school-wide
73% of Kellogg students performed at the proficient level in Math using either the
M-COMP or M-CAP AimsWeb assessment. Specific grade level performances
indicated on Table 2.
3. FactsWise fluency rates were consistently monitored throughout the year in
grades 1-3, although difficulty with our AimsWeb google document prevented an
accurate tool to monitor progress. Tracking of growth across the year was only
possible in second grade.
4. All AMAO 1 and 2 state targets were met based on the CELDT scores. No federal
15
accountability was available for last year due to the State’s test piloting of
Smarter Balance Assessment. No AMAO 3 could be determined due to the lack of
state standardized testing data. (This was true for all California public schools.)
What specific actions related to those strategies were eliminated or modified during
the year?
Hard data on student progress in the areas of ELA and Math were limited and not aligned
with CCSS. Collection of common data was not comprehensive or relevant to goals. This
was an area of weakness last year.
Identify barriers to full or timely implementation of the strategies identified above.
Last year we had a limited, district-wide data collection process and no Common
Formative Assessments in the areas of Math. The use of DIBELS assessments in third
grade and later kindergarten, provided an opportunity to view some district-wide
progress. The use of DIBELS and the newly adopted math program (Bridges, grades K-5
and CPM, grade 6) will provide a more indepth progress monitoring system this year
along with Smarter Balance assessments, both summative and interim.
What impact did the lack of full or timely implementation of these strategies have
on student outcomes? What data did you use to come to this conclusion?
We recognized the need to track and monitor progress toward proficiency without the
standardized data and used AimsWeb/DIBELS to partially fill that void knowing that it
was newer to our site and would take time to adjust and implement fully.
Strategies and Activities:
Identify those strategies or activities that were particularly effective in improving
student achievement.
1. The activities that we can determine to have been most effective based on data are
the use of Certificated Tutor support for the instruction of ELD. We can use
CELDT, ADEPT and redesignation information as evidence of student growth
and achievement.
2. Kellogg EL students met AMAO 1 and AMAO 2 targets based on 2014-2015
CELDT data.
3. Teachers implemented district-wide instructional practices, such as NumberTalks
and FactsWise with on-going professional development as we transitioned into
new, state standards without an adopted curriculum. District TOSAs (Teachers on
Special Assignment) assisted teachers during strategic release time to support
growth in these areas.
Identify those strategies or activities that were ineffective or minimally effective in
improving student achievement.
AimsWeb assessments were still new to the teaching staff. We experienced a period of
adjustment as staff members became more familiar with the assessment tool and
timelines for trimester assessments were established and how they related to current
curriculum. We recognize the AimsWeb materials is not curriculum-based and often a
16
timed assessment which is not a desired practice, especially in math assessments.
Although principal created google spreadsheet to record data the year before, the use of
the Google spreadsheet continued to present challenges to staff members and continued
to take time to train staff how to access and upload data. Some data was lost and difficult
to retrieve. The district has purchased a new data management system, EADMS, and will
continue to work to incorporate this new system to assist with a more consistent data
collection system to support instruction.
Assessment data was used to identify students for learning center intervention support
with a newer learning center teacher. Progress monitoring strategies and scheduling of
small group intervention took time to establish this first year.
The implementation of the new, district-wide Number Talks instructional strategy was
introduced in August of 2013 and revisited throughout last year.
Considerations for the 2015-2016 School Year:
The district has adopted the use of DIBELS as a K-6 universal screening tool for ELA.
This will provide greater consistency across grade levels and district.
Additional Learning Center certificated staff have been hired to support targeted
intervention by grade level providing a more systematic approach to providing ELA
support. Both fall assessment data (DIBELS, KSEP, CELDT, ADEPT, and classroom
assessments) were used to identify students needing additional support.
Team of Kellogg teachers and support staff attended Multi-Tiered System of Support
(MTSS) training at the district with six other schools. Training is looked at 3 tiers of
intervention support and how school sites can maximize use of their resources to meet
students’ needs. This structure has been implemented at Kellogg to maximize our use of
personnel to meet our students’ needs across grade levels.
With consideration of the new, math adoption, the expectation of weekly Number Talks
has been dropped and is now replaced by the Number Corner learning activity in grades
K-5. Sixth grade has a similar collaborative inquiry that values this instructional practice.
New ELD Tutor has helped keep EL students meeting annual progress targets in English
proficiency levels as determined by state CELDT scores. This continues to provide
success to our EL students. She is also embedded into our grade level, intervention
support model.
Involvement/Governance:
How was the SSC involved in development of the plan?
SPSA Plan was drafted and reviewed with Site Council at meeting on November, and
approved at the February meeting .
How were advisory committees involved in providing advice to the SSC?
Drafted plan was presented at the winter ELAC meeting and input was requested. Parents
17
at that time asked questions, but had no suggestions.
How was the plan monitored during the school year?
The Plan was approved in April by the Board. There was no time for monitoring built in
to the plan due to timeline presented at the time.
What changes are needed to ensure involvement of all stakeholders and adequate
monitoring of planned activities and outcomes?
It was discussed that a new timeline of writing and approving the SPSA earlier in the year
will allow for better monitoring of the effectiveness of the plan by the SSC and other
stakeholder groups.

standardized assessment for the 2014-15 school year to monitor student
progress. Smarter Balance test results will provide performance information in
the future.
2. Teachers administered the AimsWeb or DIBELS assessments, three times
over the course of the year in addition to classroom assessments. Results
were recorded onto a google document and reviewed throughout the year.
The spring assessments showed an increase in the benchmark score from fall
to spring.
3. Weekly Learning Center Support was provided to students based on a
combination of teacher recommendation and AimsWeb data.
4. The District has moved to using the Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early
Literacy (DIBELS) assessments as a universal screening tool to monitor
progress throughout the year.

Additional Information:
1. Although individual grade levels did not meet the expected 70% proficiency
level on the math AimsWeb assessments, the school wide target was met.
AimsWeb was used in the absence of a state-wide standardized assessment
for the 2014-15 school year to monitor progress over the year. Smarter
Balance test results will provide performance information in the future.
2. Teachers administered the assessments three times over the course of the
year in addition to classroom assessments. Results were recorded onto a

Planned Improvements in Student Performance
The School Site Council 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 academic performance index and adequate yearly progress growth
targets. As a result, it has adopted the following school goals, related actions, and expenditures to raise the academic performance of
students not yet meeting state standards:
LEA GOAL: LCAP GOAL 1: Demonstrate robust achievement growth for all pupils; reduce disparity in levels of achievement between
student subgroups.
SCHOOL GOAL: All student cohorts will increase reading proficiency as measured by the Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) assessment (K6), DIBELS, BPST and CAASPP Assessments.
What data did you use to form this goal?
CAASPP Assessments
MAP Assessments
BPST
DIBELS
Teacher created assessments
We recognize a need to track and monitor
student proficiency as determined by last
year’s measures.
What were the findings from the analysis of
this data?
How will the school evaluate the progress
of this goal?
For grades 3-5, the baseline data from the
CAASPP Assessments has been established.
Since there are no previous administrations of
this test, we will be using this baseline data to
compare to next year's CAASPP administration.
According to the MAP assessment, there are two
areas that we need to continue to focus: reading
comprehension and analysis of informational
text. As students steadily acquire the
foundational skills in the lower grades, there is a
need for more exposure and practice in reading
comprehension as well as more practice utilizing
non-fiction text. These two areas will continue to
be our instructional foci.
The following assessment will be given 3 times
during the year to all students to evaluate the
progress (Baseline, Mid-year, and End of Year):
• MAP (Grades K-6)
• DIBELS (Grades K-5)
• BPST (Grades 1-2)
The CAASPP assessments are administered once
a year in the spring to measure student growth and
will be utilized to evaluate school progress.
STRATEGY: During 2015–16, La Patera will implement a school-wide Multiple Tier System of Support (MTSS) to address the reading fluency and
comprehension needs of struggling readers and English learners as measured by benchmark assessments (baseline, mid-year and end of year).

SCHOOL GOAL: Math - All student cohorts will increase mathematics proficiency as measured by the Measures of Academic Progress (MAP)
assessment (K-6) and CAASPP Assessments.
What data did you use to form this goal?
MAPS Assessments
Teacher Created Assessments
We recognize a need to track and monitor
student proficiency as determined by last
year’s measures.
What were the findings from the analysis of
this data?
How will the school evaluate the progress
of this goal?
According to the MAPS assessment data,
Operations and Algebraic Thinking and
Number and Operations are the two areas
where most students are struggling. Even
though we recognize that these are the most
heavily tested, there has been a concerted
effort as a school to focus on these areas
through our new math adoption. This focus
will allow students to acquire their math skills
to be able to demonstrate their learning in
the MAPS assessment and CAASPP testing.
MAP assessments will be given three
times during the year to all students.
The CAASPP tests are administered once
a year in the spring to measure student
growth and will be utilized to evaluate
school progress
STRATEGY: During 2015–16, La Patera will develop a system for monitoring progress of all students and this data will be utilized to target
remediation/support for those students.

LEA GOAL: Goal 3: The District will meet or exceed CELDT requirements for the Annual Measurable Achievement Objectives (AMAOs)
1, 2 and 3 during the 2015-16 school year.
SCHOOL GOAL: English Learner Goal All La Patera English Language Learner (ELL) students will demonstrate growth in language fluency in
order to meet CELDT requirements as delineated in the LEA Plan, as determined by the annual CELDT test and ADEPT benchmark assessments.

What data did you use to form this goal?
Data from 2014 CELDT and from ADEPT
formative assessments.
We recognized a need to track and
monitor student proficiency as determined
by last year’s measures.
What were the findings from the analysis of
this data?
How will the school evaluate the progress
of this goal?
La Patera’s English Learning students are
making steady progress in achieving
language fluency as measured by the
CELDT and ADEPT test. Some students are
taking longer than one year to move from the
Intermediate fluency level into Early
Advanced.
ADEPT assessment will be given 3 times
during the year to all students (baseline,
mid-year and end of year).
CELDT will be given during the state
mandated window.
STRATEGY: During 2015–16 school year, La Patera will utilize research based instructional strategies and interventions, as well as implement the
use of the ADEPT assessments, to determine and address the language fluency needs of English learners (baseline, mid-year and end of year).

Single Plan for Student Achievement Annual Evaluation
Pursuant to California Education Code Section 64001(g), the School Site Council (SSC)
must evaluate at least annually the effectiveness of planned activities. In the cycle of
continuous improvement of student performance, evaluation of the results of goals will
provide data to inform and guide subsequent plans.
Plan Implementation
•
Certificated Tutors support for English Language Development classes for all
English Language Learners was fully implemented. La Patera has 6 Certificated
Tutors (5 days per week for 4 hours each day) to support reduced teacher to
student ratios for each grade level’s 30 minutes ELD instruction.
•
Certificated Tutors also support the Multiple Tier System of Support (MTSS)
intervention system of support. This intervention system is utilized for all grade
levels and is done 4 days a week for 30 minutes per grade level.
•
Teachers have been given professional development opportunities to teach
students the strategies for writing summaries of narrative and summaries of
expository text.
•
The only available and reliable data was the MAP and CAASPP assessment
results. The CAASPP data is considered baseline and will be used next year to
measure student growth. Collection of common data was not comprehensive or
relevant to goals.
•
Currently there are no CFAs in the areas of Math and ELA.
•
We recognize an urgent need to track and monitor progress toward proficiency
as determined by last year’s absolute lack of measureable data.
13
Strategies and Activities
•
The activities that we can determine to have been most effective based on data
are the use of Certificated Tutor support for the instruction of ELD and MTSS. We
can use CELDT, ADEPT and redesignation information as evidence of student
growth and achievement.
•
Based on the analysis of this practice, we recommend:
!
Continuing our plans for our Goal #1 and 2 for ELA and Math with
the modification of adding systems for collecting data to monitor
student progress in a more concrete manner.
!
Continuing our plan as it stands for our Goal #3 in ELD
Involvement/Governance
•
Plan drafted with Site Council at meeting on 11/09/15.
•
Drafted plan presented at ELAC meeting, input requested. Parents asked some
questions, but had no suggestions.
•
Plan was approved by the GUSD School Board in _____________. No specific
time for monitoring was built in to the plan.
•
Moving the writing and approval of the plan to early in the year will allow better
monitoring of the effectiveness of the plan by the SSC and other stakeholder
groups.
Outcomes
Goals for 2015-2016
1. All La Patera students will improve in English Language Arts and math as identified
on site measures.
2. 100% of teachers will instruct students in the writing of summaries of narratives
and/or expository text (grades 2-6) and opinion writing (grades K-1) which meets
the College and Career Readiness Anchor Standard in Reading:
• Determine central ideas or themes of a text and analyze their development;
Summarize the key supporting details and ideas.
14
3. 100% of teachers will implement the new Math Bridges program to engage students
in the new common core state standards.
4. La Patera will meet state and federal performance goals for attaining English
Proficiency for English Learners.
• We can identify that goals 2 and 3 were met.
• We have limited data to support that goal #1 was met or to what degree
implementation was successful.
• Based on this information, we recommend that a more comprehensive data
system be used to meet this goal.

Form A: Planned Improvements in Student Performance
The School Site Council 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 academic performance index and adequate yearly progress growth
targets. As a result, it has adopted the following school goals, related actions, and expenditures to raise the academic performance of
students not yet meeting state standards:
LEA GOAL: LCAP Goal #1 Demonstrate robust achievement growth for all pupils.
SCHOOL GOAL 1: Mountain View will see a 10% growth in the number of students performing in the “standards met” or “standards exceeded”
performance bands on the 2015-2016 California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress in both mathematics and language arts when
compared to scores from the 2014-2015 assessments.
What data did you use to form this
goal?
What were the findings from the analysis
of this data?
How will the school evaluate the
progress of this goal?
CASSPP data from 2014-2015 for grades
3-6
Analysis of the 2015 CASSPP data showed
that 67% of our students met or exceeded
standards expectations in math and 71% in
English Language Arts. While these
numbers exceeded the district averages of
45% in math and 54% in English Language
Arts, there is room for growth.
Grades 3-6 will give the Interim block
assessments from CASSPP to gauge
student mastery of concepts using the
state testing formats. Results will be
discussed with the data and intervention
teams. This will give us useful data to
evaluate our instruction of the tested
concepts and progress towards our goal of
growth on the CASSPP.
Dibels assessment data from Fall 2015
Teacher created assessment data
Our analysis also showed a general increase
of proficiency as the grades progressed.
This was determined to be partly due to
students’ experience using technology,
keyboarding skills and taking assessments in
a computer-based format.
We also found that our scores may be
correlated with our school and district not
having a consistent Common Core
Standards aligned mathematics or EnglishLanguage Arts program.
1
CELDT data will be gathered for our
English learner student and analyzed by
data teams including the ELD tutor,
classroom teachers, principal and school
psychologist.
The Dibels assessment will be given three
times per year, in September, January and
May. The school leadership team will
analyze the data to look for areas of
growth and areas in need of improvement.
Grade level teaching teams will meet with
our learning center teacher and certificated
tutors to determine appropriate
interventions for students. Pre and post
assessments will help gauge student
growth and mastery. Teacher teams will
meet weekly during p.e. time to review
student progress.
STRATEGY: During the 2015-2016 school year, Mountain View School and the school district will be using a new, CCSS aligned, math program.
Teachers will now have 100 minutes of team planning time each week to implement the new program, analyze student assessment data and plan
necessary interventions. District professional development will focus on the new math program and its effective implementation. District
Instructional Specialists will meet six times per year with each grade level teaching teams to plan math instruction and assessment. Every staff
meeting during the school year will involve discussion and learning regarding the new math adoption. In addition, targeted intervention time for
academic interventions for both math and English Language Arts will be implemented three times per week for forty-five minute time periods.
Classroom teachers, certificated tutors, the learning center teacher, resource teacher and ELD teacher will all be involved in providing targeted
interventions for students based on grade level assessment data.

LEA GOAL: Promote 21 Century Learning Skills
Strategic Plan Reference: Student learning environments are aligned with real world environments by integrating curriculum with
21st Century Learning Skills: Critical thinking and problem solving; communication; collaboration; creativity; innovation; life and
career skills; and information, media and technology skills.
SCHOOL GOAL: By June of 2016 Mountain View School will have implemented a defined technology plan that addresses needs and skills
outlined in the 21st Century Learning Skills. We will have a 1:1 student to device ratio of Chromebooks in grades 4-6 and a 2:1 ratio of iPads in
grades K-2. We will also introduce a STEM science program that teaches students the 21st Century Learning Skills in an engaging and handson environment.
What data did you use to form this goal?
GUSD technology survey from 2014-2015.
CASSPP Results
What were the findings from the analysis of
this data?
A GUSD survey of technology done in 20142015 showed that Mountain View students did
not have sufficient ratios of technology devices
in their hands on a daily basis to master the
technology demands of the 21st Century
Learning Skills.
Results from the CASSPP pointed to the fact
that our students did not test as well as
comparable schools that had 1:1 laptop
programs.
Our teachers and staff members will need to
continue to receive professional development
on the use of educational technology.
How will the school evaluate the progress
of this goal?
Our technology team will assess our
progress toward this goal throughout the
year.
This will be done by monitoring the number
of devices in use. We will monitor the growth
of students’ typing skills using our typing
programs. We will survey our staff for
professional development needs. Ultimately,
we hope to see an increase in CASSPP
scores as students are more comfortable
using technology to test.
STRATEGIES: During the 2015-16 school year, we will increase the number of devices in students’ hands. We will train our teachers how to
use the technology effectively by having two Technology Teacher Leads serve on a district committee and train our teachers. We will send
teachers to technology conferences and professional development opportunities. We will help develop a district-wide technology scope and
sequence and then implement it at our school.

California Education Code describes the required composition of the School Site Council (SSC).
The SSC shall be composed of the principal and representatives of: teachers selected by
teachers at the school; other school personnel selected by other school personnel at the school;
parents of pupils attending the school selected by such parents; and, in secondary schools,
pupils selected by pupils attending the school.2 The current make-up of the SSC is as follows:

Form G: Single Plan for Student Achievement Annual Evaluation
Pursuant to California Education Code Section 64001(g), the School Site Council
(SSC) must evaluate at least annually the effectiveness of planned activities. In
the cycle of continuous improvement of student performance, evaluation of the
results of goals will provide data to inform and guide subsequent plans.
Plan Priorities
•
•
Identify the top priorities of the current SPSA. (No more than 2–3.)
Identify the major expenditures supporting these priorities.
Plan Implementation
The goals for the 2014-15 SPSA were focused on English-Language Arts and
Mathematics performance by pupils. The first goal was that 90% of Mountain
View students would be at the Core level or higher on the Dibels oral reading
fluency assessment at the end of the 2014-15 school year. The percent of
students at that level at the beginning of the year was 85.7%. Our beginning of
the year 2015-16 data actually gave us better information to see how our
students had progressed over one full year. In the fall of 2015-16 89.5% of the
same students were in the Core level or higher. This is an increase of 3.8%. It
was close to hitting our goal of 90%.
We attribute the growth to a variety of factors including the increase in the
amount of time our learning center teacher works with our students on reading
and language skills. In the 2014-2015 year we had her full time versus half time
in the years previous. She was able to double the number of students she
worked with. The other large factor was using the Dibels assessment to monitor
student growth and to help form our intervention group and point to specific
student needs. We were able to be more efficient and targeted with our
intervention services.
The second goal was a math goal to have 95% of our students meet proficiency
levels on the CAASPP. We were far from meeting this goal. Only 67% of our
students tested on the CAASPP in mathematics in the Met Standards or
Exceeded Standards levels. This is due a number of factors. The CASSPP had
not released their cut points when we made our site goals at the beginning of the
2014-2015 school year. The cut points were set high in comparison to the cut
points on the former CST tests. The state and district averages of students
meeting or exceeding proficiency levels dropped significantly.
Strategies in the SPSA that were fully implemented were district professional
development for CCSS mathematics and English-Language Arts. This included
district professional development, site professional development at staff meetings
and working with Teachers on Special Assignment during strategic release time.
All teachers teach Number Talks four to five days per week.
The School Site Council discussed goals to be included in the Single Plan for
Student Achievement at meetings in the late fall and winter of 2014-15. Each
member of the group gave their thoughts and opinions on possible goals. The
group gave its support of the goals listed in this document. The ELAC was also
included on the review and forming of the SPSA.
