Preface

Following the receipt of the six-year accreditation status as a result of the self-study in 2014, several recommendations were implemented, notably the focus on common core state standards, Special Education, African American and English Language learners. The teaching and administrative staff continue to be committed to the WASC process. The Fairfax High School (FHS) self-study coordinator, Aris Biegler, and the administrative team began the most recent WASC self-study process in the summer of 2017. The coordinator, working with the administrative team, out of class coordinators and the Instructional Leadership Team (ILT) members began to gather data relevant to the WASC FOL self-study, and revising the mission and vision statements. At the beginning of the Fall semester in 2017, the ILT and parent groups were invited to give input towards the mission and vision statements. Work on the self-study continued in 2018; updating data and inviting teachers to be Focus Group leaders. Focus Group leaders were tasked with reading the previous WASC study and the mid-cycle review. In the Fall of 2018, the WASC coordinator, assistant principal Leonard Choi and principal Kenneth Adiekweh attended the first part of the WASC training seminars. In November of 2018, the teaching staff was surveyed about their focus group choice. From the survey results, the five different focus groups were formed. Focus groups were comprised of: certificated staff, classified staff, parents, students, administrators and community members. A Google Doc folder was shared with all focus group leaders, administrators and the WASC coordinator. Inside the Google folder were placed all the templates for the different categories. During Focus Group meetings, staff members would sit together and work through the document employing different methods; small group, large group and rotating through the prompts. All members of the staff had an opportunity to work through the document. In the fall of 2019, the work continued to update data, complete answering prompts and introduce new staff members to the process. The staff continued to refine the vision and mission statements. Both statements have become more important to the faculty as the staff begins to investigate the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Program. The staff developed a vision and mission to serve as a quick guide for where the school is going and laying out a path to get there, at the same time being reflective of the school community, parents and students. As the stakeholders worked to develop the mission, vision and schoolwide learner outcomes the demographic, academic and WASC criteria were used as overarching themes. By looking at data, it was noted that approximately 31% of students are English only students but all students benefit from strategies to enhance English development. Approximately 12% of students are identified as Special Education. 15% of the student body is made up of African-American students. These three subgroups make up most of the achievement gap. On the other end of the spectrum, approximately 25% of students are in the Gifted and Talented Education Program (GATE). The staff feels that many of the GATE students are not being adequately challenged or supported. By focusing on these four subgroups, the staff will be meeting the needs of all students.

The new vision and mission are: Mission:

FHS will prepare students for their unique role as responsible and engaged citizens of the world. Teachers will be creative and engaging, valuing education that encourages academics, and an awareness and curiosity about an ever-changing world beyond the individual.

Vision:

FHS students will receive an academically challenging and balanced 21st century education inspiring deep questioning and peaceful action. FHS will foster a positive school culture to support students academically, socially, emotionally, physically and philosophically. The staff continues to look at data to inform instruction and make instructional changes where appropriate. Fairfax students continue to outperform similarly situated schools with SBAC, AP and PSAT scores. However, the staff is not satisfied with outperforming those schools and would like to see student scores reflect teacher effort. As such, the teaching staff continues to experiment with strategies and approaches to learning.

The current Action Plan lays out four goals: 1) Implementation of the Common

Core Standards, 2) Focus on English Learners, 3) Focus on African-American students, 4) Focus on Special Education students. The staff is committed to these goals and to having all students achieving at the highest levels while providing support for all students.

The new Action Plan for 2021-2027 continues to build on the previous plan, aligns with the Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA), the District Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) and is informed by data and student demographics. The current Action Plan goals are: 1) Focus on English Learners, 2) Focus on African-American students, 3) Focus on Special Education students and 4) Supporting All Students to be College and Career Ready. The staff has the capacity to implement these goals over the next six years. As part of the action plan, the staff will create SMART goals so that the goals show measurable growth in a timely fashion.

Schoolwide Learning Outcomes have been informed by the IB learner profile, the students, parents, teachers and community members. The schoolwide learning outcomes form the acronym LIONS (the school mascot) and lend themselves to the modern school motto â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once a Lion, always a Lion.â&#x20AC;? The staff feels that the schoolwide learner outcomes link directly to the mission and vision, SPSA, LCAP and the IB Learner profile. At the same time, the schoolwide learner outcomes are reflective of all stakeholders.

Schoolwide Learning Outcomes

L I

eaders:

Students will be given multiple opportunities throughout high school to lead teams, both in class and in clubs. Students will see themselves as part of a team and learn to work with team members effectively.

ndependent thinkers:

Students will be able to think critically and analytically about given situations and events. Students will learn to defend and concede to arguments, learning that if others have a different opinion, that does not necessarily make them wrong.

pportunity seeking:

Students will seek out opportunities to enhance their education, social and emotional well-being and career opportunities in a principled manner. Students will be coached and encouraged to work on these opportunities as soon as they become available.

N S

egotiators: Students will learn to work with others to create win-win scenarios through the presentation, defense and justification of thoughts and ideas.

cholars:

Students will receive a high-quality education that teaches them to be flexible, creative and cognitively aware of the world.

Progress Report

The WASC mid-cycle revisit took place in February 2017. Prior to that, the last fullvisit was in February 2014. Since the last midcycle revisit, there have been significant changes to the administrative team. There was a new principal hired in 2017, and another hired in 2019. All four assistant principals have changed since the last full visit. All previous administrators left under good terms and are still friends with many staff members at FHS. The current principal, Dr. Lorraine Trollinger continues to build on the progress made by the previous administrative team by supporting the Small Learning Communities (SLC), the Instructional Leadership Team (ILT) and the Professional Learning Communities (PLCs). She also brings new vigor to the International Baccalaureate investigation and continues to support the International Baccalaureate (IB) team through the candidacy phase. Since the last full visit: the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC) data is more meaningful as trends can now be observed (even as the test continues to be refined), Common Core State Standards (CCSS), including textbooks and materials are more readily available and used throughout the campus, and the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) have been developed and implemented. World Languages have new standards beginning in 2019, and CTE pathways are fully developed and board approved. The FHS staff fully embraced the Common Core standards. Textbooks and materials have been purchased that are founded in the CCSS for Math, English and Science. Teachers have adapted their teaching to reflect the CCSS and the new assessments that are associated with the CCSS. The FHS staff made significant changes to the Vision, Mission and Schoolwide Learning Outcomes in response to recommendations from the last WASC visiting team, academic data and discussions amongst the staff. Since 2017, the principal, staff and all stakeholders worked to revise the FHS Vision and Mission statements to better reflect and correlate with the LCAP, IB Learner Profile and community desires.

Chapter I PAGE 1

Notes

The School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA) closely matches the Action Plan from the previous WASC self-study and the Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP). The goals for the SPSA are: 100% Graduation, improve English Language Arts and Math achievement on the SBAC, improve reclassification rates of English Learners, increase parental and student engagement, increase supports for struggling students. There has been a significant drop in enrollment at FHS, across the district and the state. The lower enrollment affects everything from class offerings to teacher retention. Since the last full study, enrollment dropped by nearly 200 students (10%). That works out to about seven teaching positions lost over six years. Approximately 50% of the staff members are new to FHS since the last visit. Veteran staff members have been using the WASC process as a way to introduce newly hired staff members to FHS and the community. In order to combat the declining enrollment, the staff continues to attract students by highlighting the many opportunities afforded to students at FHS. Fairfax staff members offer a host of Advanced Placement Courses, Credit Recovery classes, CTE classes, Magnet programs, clubs and activities. Currently, the staff is undergoing an International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme exploration. The IB program would be slated to roll out in 2022. Staff members are being trained in IB, have participated in the Feasibility study or visited other IB schools in the district. The district helps the IB effort by offering guidance and support through the Advanced Learning Options program. The FHS teaching staff embraced the pedagogical practice of Mastery Grading. Many of the teachers participate in the Mastery Grading training offered by the district and use the strategies learned through that training. Mastery grading uses a different grade book based on mastery of content standards, instead of percent, on homework and tests.

Progress from the current Action Plan

Notes

Goal #1

Implementation of the Common Core State Standards and alignment to the Teaching and Learning Framework and English Learner Master Plan. Growth Targets from Current Action Plan Using the Secondary Periodic Assessment from December 2013 to create data goals in departments and small learning communities.

Evidence of Progress toward Growth Targets English and Math teachers give two Instructional Assessment Blocks (IAB), the current Secondary Periodic Assessment tool, per year. History teachers also give an interim assessment. Results of assessments are used as a basis for discussion in departments. Teachers select focus standards based on assessment results.

Goal #2

Proficiency for All: Focus on English Learners. Growth Targets from Current Action Plan

Evidence of Progress toward Growth Targets

The number of English Learners reclassified will increase by 10 percent annually (based on CST).

From 2016 to 2018, the reclassification rates jumped from 12.8% to 26.5%, an increase of 107%. This increase can be attributed in part due the way in which EL - Special Education students are reclassified.

The number of English Learners scoring Advanced or early Advanced on the California English Language Development Test (CELDT) will increase 10% annually.

In 2015-16 the CELDT Advanced and Early Advanced comprised 27% of the total scores, that rate was 20% in 2016-17.

The number of longterm English Learners will decrease by 10% annually.

On reflection of this target, it is clear that having a metric for the reduction decrease in the number of EL students is not of any value. The only way to make sure that 10% fewer students are ELs would be by limiting enrollment, and the staff is not going to do that.

The CELDT test has not been given since 2017. The replacement assessment is the English Language Proficiency Assessment For California ELPAC.

Chapter I PAGE 3

Goal #3

Proficiency for All: Focus on African-American Students. Growth Targets from Current Action Plan

Evidence of Progress toward Growth Targets

Increase retention rates of ninth and tenth grade students.

African American student enrollment rate dropped by 15%, the rest of the school dropped by 10%, over the last six years.

Reduce number of suspensions.

Suspension rates are zero. As a school and district policy, students are no longer suspended. Restorative Justice, Positive Behavior and Intervention Supports, and counseling have replaced suspensions.

Increase attendance rates.

Attendance rates have remained unchanged. However, at the same time, African American students are arriving to class late more often than students in other sub-groups.

Increase parent/ community involvement.

Parents and community members are notified monthly through phone calls about the events at school. Parents attend Coffee with the Principal, Open House and Parent Conference nights.

Goal #4

Proficiency for All: Focus on Special Education Students. Growth Targets from Current Action Plan

Chapter I PAGE 4

Evidence of Progress toward Growth Targets

Increase scores in English and Math by 10% on the CST annually.

The CST is no longer used. The SBAC scores are now used for all populations. As the SBAC data starts to become more meaningful, targets can be set for Special Education students.

Increase pass rate by 5% on CST annually.

The CST is no longer used. SBAC scores will be used to measure growth for Special Education students in the future.

Although many of the metrics in the current Action Plan are no longer used, conceptually, the FHS staff members are working to meet the needs of the sub-groups in question. The conversations and practices at FHS revolve around the SPED, African American and EL students. Conversations and professional development constantly skew towards reducing achievement gaps, equity and accessibility for those students. Trainings on supporting our most at-risk students (Special Education, English Language Learners and African American) take place during monthly faculty meetings and continue to be a focus for the school. The FHS staff is clearly moving in the direction that is called for by the current Action Plan.

Notes

Critical Areas Identified by last WASC Committee 2014 Critical Areas for Follow-Up as identified by the Visiting Committee and FHS Staff

Critical Area #1

Implement the Common Core State Standards and align them to the teaching and Learning Framework and English Learner Master Plan.

Critical Area #2

Focus and further develop strategies that will help increase proficiency for all English Learners.

Critical Area #3

Focus and further develop strategies that will help increase proficiency for African American Students.

Critical Area #4

Focus and further develop strategies that will help increase proficiency for Special Education Students.

Chapter I PAGE 5

Notes

In addition, the Visiting Committee identified areas to be strengthened:

Critical Area #5

Continue to implement engagement strategies that further utilize the integration of technology.

Critical Area #6

Continue to implement strategies to better enhance communication with and involvement of parents/guardians and other stakeholders.

Critical Area #7

Work towards the collaboration and inclusion of all staff members in schoolwide efforts.

Critical Area #8

Continue ongoing efforts towards the beautification of the campus.

2017 Progress Observed by Visiting Committee at Mid-Cycle Review The mid-cycle review visiting team did not leave the staff with any new recommendations. Instead, the team wrote a considerable amount based on the progress the staff made towards addressing each Critical Area. The FHS staff continues to focus on the previously established Critical Areas during professional development time. Some of the major metrics used to measure growth (CELDT and CST) and success have been replaced with newer metrics. Because of that change, the steady progress made in the mid-cycle review is impossible to measure with the old data. New benchmarks will be developed to measure growth as longitudinal data becomes available.

Notes

Student/Community Profile and Supporting Data and Findings Fairfax High School is located on a 24.2-acre campus in Los Angeles at the corner of Melrose and Fairfax, in trendy West Hollywood, north of the CBS studios, right at the heart of the Thirty Mile Zone (TMZ). During the 20th century, the Hollywood entertainment industry preferred to film movies and television shows within the TMZ to hold costs down. With clever editing, it was easy to use a handful of aerial and location shots, along with carefully dressed sets, to give viewers the impression that a movie or show was set somewhere else. Outside the front steps of Fairfax High School, it is common to see celebrities enjoying the local restaurants and shops. Many of the Hollywood tour companies make Fairfax High School one of their stops because of the number of celebrities that attended as students. Asking around campus will reveal that many of the staff members have and may still be in the show biz. Shops and restaurants around Fairfax High School cater to the rich, poor and in between of Los Angeles. The trendiest stores often have lines around the block of customers waiting to buy merchandise. On Sundays, rain or shine, the campus comes alive with the largest outdoor flea market on the West side. Melrose Trading Post brings vendors from across the city to pitch their wares; some of the most unique items in the city can be found at the flea market. In 2024, Fairfax High School will celebrate its 100th anniversary. Inside the school, staff members work tirelessly to provide the highest level of education to a diverse population of students. Students at Fairfax can choose from a host of academic options which include traditional, honors and advanced placement courses. Since the last full visit, the teaching staff added computer science and CTE programs to the course offerings and a Police Academy Magnet. Because of the success of the Visual Arts Magnet, there will be a new art building constructed on the Fairfax campus which will serve as a venue for student and community artists to come together. Fairfax has a proud tradition of athletics and academics. Many of the athletic teams have been CIF champions and the coaching staff works diligently to keep that proud tradition alive.

Chapter II PAGE 7

Notes

Fairfax has been designated a Title I School since 1999. FHS qualifies for a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Schoolwideâ&#x20AC;? (SWP) Title One program, meaning that all students on campus qualify for, and are eligible to receive, Title One services. (The alternate model is a Targeted Assistance School, in which only identified students qualify for services.) Schools qualify for the SWP after the first two years of qualifying for the Title One Program and completing a schoolwide action plan. In order to qualify for the Title One program, at least 65% of students must qualify for free or reduced-price meals. Fairfax exceeded this minimum percent for the past 20 years; the percentage for this school year is 80.33%. Fairfax High School has a multi-ethnic, highly diverse student body. Over 30 languages are spoken in the homes of Fairfax students. The majority of the EL students speak Spanish, Korean, or Russian.

Average attendance rates remain at 96% and is not considered a serious issue at FHS. Students attend school and do not tend to be tardy. There are, of course, some students that are chronically absent and tardy. However, the vast majority students at FHS come to school on time and prepared to learn. Attendance rates every year tend to start in August are around 97.5% and drop off to 95.2% by June. The staff goal for student attendance is to have below a 7% chronic absenteeism rate for 2019-20.

Notes

Suspension and expulsion rates are both at 0% since the 2016-17 school year. While FHS does have some bad actors, those students are dealt with in-house through Restorative Justice or other supports. FHS is generally free from fights, vandalism or other issues that may plague other schools. FHS is seen as a diamond in the rough by many parents and students.

Category A: Organization: Vision and Purpose, Governance, Leadership and Staff, and Resources

A1. Vision and Purpose Criterion The school has a clearly stated vision and mission (purpose) based on its student needs, current educational research, current educational research, the district Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP), and the belief that all students can achieve at high academic levels. Supported by the governing board and the district LCAP, the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s purpose is defined further by schoolwide learner outcomes and the academic standards.

Online Programs: iNACOL Standard A: Mission Statement:

The mission statement of a quality online program clearly conveys its purpose and goals. It serves as the basis for the programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s day-to-day operations, as well as a guide for its strategic plans for the future. Communications between and buy-in from stakeholders is a critical component of a mission statement. [iNACOL Standard A, 2009]

Indicators with Prompts Vision – Mission – Schoolwide Learner Outcomes – Profile A1.1. Indicator: The school has established a clear, coherent vision and mission (purpose) of what students should know and demonstrate; it is based upon highquality standards and is congruent with research, practices, the student/community profile data, and a belief that all students can learn and be college and career ready. A1.1. Prompt: Evaluate the degree to which the development of the school’s statements has been impacted by pertinent student/community profile data, the district LCAP, identified future global competencies, current educational research and an overall belief that all students can learn and be college and career ready. Findings

Chapter III PAGE 20

Supporting Evidence

On multiple occasions, school stakeholders comprising classroom teachers, paraprofessionals and administrators reviewed the current school vision and mission statements, with the aim of determining whether the statements reflect the changing demographics of our school community, for the current and future students of Fairfax High School. In four separate SLC settings, four different vision and mission statements were submitted for the ILT review. Following about three separate ILT meetings, a new vision and mission statement was selected to discuss and receive parent input at the Coffee with the Principal meeting.

nn Agenda and Sign-In Sheets at the SLC, ILT, Coffee with the Principal meetings.

The development of the vision, mission, and Schoolwide Learning Outcomes (SLOs) have been evidently reflective of the current profile data of the school and the International Baccalaureate Learner Profile, the LCAP and current Action Plan. Balancing the desires of all parties and reaching a consensus was challenging but worthwhile. There was also a conversation regarding the last vision, mission and schoolwide learner outcomes. Most teachers and students could not recall any parts of any of the statements. The staff reflected on the lack of recall and decided to make the schoolwide learner outcomes an acronym of either Fax, Lions, Pride, or Fairfax. Stakeholders chose the Lions acronym and a vision and mission that was reflective of where the school wants to go in the coming years.

Prompt: How do staff ensure that the school action plan is directly linked to and driven by the analysis of student achievement of the major learner and collegeand career-readiness needs, and the California School Dashboard indicators? Findings

Supporting Evidence

After identifying the need for our students to improve their academic outcomes on the annual Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC), Fairfax High School staff members worked diligently to address the identified areas for growth/ improvement of our students. The data from 2018 reflected, an unfortunate, regression on SBAC test scores when compared to 2017 (similar across the district and state). The indicators on the California School Dashboard reflect a double-digit drop in English Language Arts, and this outcome served as a serious call-to-action to create a plan to improve student learning. During the 2018-19 school year, Fairfax administrators and teachers have implemented and dedicated substantial time and resources to better prepare students for the SBAC exams. The efforts of the school staff are directed and informed by the data published on the California School Dashboard. This targeted support for student learning is not only intended to improve standardized test scores, but to better prepare students for the academic rigor of post-secondary education.

nn Standardized assessments have been scored and analyzed. Administration has supported this process by compensating teachers for additional time required to score and analyze the data. nn English, science, math, and social studies students take an Instructional Assessment Block (IAB) test once each semester. nn English, social studies, and math prepared released questions as pre-testing and as an indicator of places where students need remediation and practice. nn Departments meet and disaggregate data from IABs as well as PSATs to improve instruction. nn AP booklets are used by students to practice before AP testing. nn Naviance allows seniors to access information for applying to colleges.

Chapter III PAGE 47

Notes

Findings All students are provided access to a rigorous, differentiated, relevant and coherent standards-based curriculum that builds on the academic standards, the college- and career-readiness standards, and the schoolwide learner outcomes that allow for success after high school. Every department devotes time and resources for teachers to engage in professional development, such as attendance at yearly conferences, onsite training, and the pursuit of applicable educational research opportunities. At Fairfax, departments have been divided into smaller PLCs that allow teachers of specific classes to work together in planning, discussing practices and comparing outcomes. Much of the PD time is spent in these groups. The district ensures that the students have up to date textbooks and technology that reflect the common core standards, NGSS and the Teaching and Learning Framework. All departments are tasked with emphasizing writing across the curriculum and to evaluate students achievement through multiple models of assessment. The Common Core Standards are the starting point for teachers designing lessons at Fairfax. This has created a consistency in the curriculum in the different departments. All courses offered in the school are A-G approved. Additionally, there are a host of Advanced Placement courses in each core department. Teachers meet bi-monthly in Professional Learning Communities (PLC) where they are allotted time to collaborate and confer with subject like educators on best practices, current educational research and common instructional methods. This time is imperative to develop and further the educational process of our students.

SOCIAL STUDIES CURRICULUM In the social studies department, teachers discuss best practices by unit and also brainstorm ideas on the best way to teach key concepts. The teachers provide access to the core curriculum through differentiated instruction embedded in each lesson to meet the needs of a wide range of learners which incorporate Special Needs and Gate trainings. Teachers model methods of analysis and critical thinking skills to answer Document Based Questions (DBQ) on historical events and provide students several opportunities throughout the school year to analyze and cite documents. For example, locating the thesis and the evidence used to support that thesis. Teachers expose students to primary and secondary sources to both practice evaluating the sources using tools such as the Who, What, When, Where, and Why and create research-based projects. Students complete Free Response Questions (FRQ’s) and analyze current events in each of the classes offered in the department. The department offers a course in Ethnic Studies primarily for 9th grade students but encourages all students to enroll. Students demonstrate listening and speaking skills by giving speeches, presenting their projects, debates, classroom discussions and participating in Teen Court. The department develops civic engagement. Student voice is present in classes via mock trials, small group presentations, simulations and role plays. The social studies department requires all students to pass three years of Social Studies Courses, including World History, U.S. History, Principles of American Democracy and Economics. The department offers AP classes in grades 10-12. AP teachers complete College Board training, which includes one week of initial training and on-going training two days each year. The social studies department offers six AP courses: AP World History, AP U.S. History, AP Macroeconomics, AP U.S. Government, AP Psychology, and AP Human Geography.

ENGLISH DEPARTMENT

nn Fairfax High School’s SBAC ELA scores jumped 28 percent from 2018 to 2019 in the Meets or Exceeds levels of achievement from 42.64% to 70.93%.

In English department meetings, teachers are given time to collaborate to create common summative assessments by grade level. The school hired consultants to explain new teaching strategies to the faculty based on current research; such as concepts to engage low performing students. The English department worked collaboratively using CAASP test prep materials to prepare 9 th, 10 th and 11th grade students for the Interim Assessment blocks. These Assessment Blocks are used to prepare students for the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC) standardized test that is given in the spring. The effectiveness of the cohesion within the English department while preparing the students for the IABs is evident in the significant rise in the 2019 SBAC scores. The ELA portion of the SBAC yielded 28 percent growth in scores from the previous year, increasing the standardized testing proficiency of many of our students.

Notes

nn The established list of core English texts per grade level was created and adopted by the entire English department and then disseminated to all members nn IAB sample questions nn Brain Awareness Week presentations nn Evidence-based essays nn GATE training

Teachers train students in how to use annotation strategies (such as C.A.T.C.H.) in order to improve reading grade-level texts regardless of reading level when students enter the school. In each English class, students read a combination of classic literature and texts from, or adapted from, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Collections. The English department has a common list of grade-level texts to ensure that, regardless of their teacher, all students engage with mythology, classic novels, and Shakespearean plays. English teachers at Fairfax consistently engage students in both low-stakes and multi-step writing to ensure that students are writing in their classes each week. The English department is ensuring proficiency for all students by developing a list of required texts for each grade level. For example, ALL 9 th graders are required to read Romeo and Juliet.

SPECIAL EDUCATION The Special Education department ensures proficiency for all students by partnering with all stakeholders to create an Individual Education Program (IEP) that addresses the academic, social-emotional, and behavior needs of students with disabilities. For example, all students have a present level of performance in areas impacted by their disability, goals that focus on development in those areas, and an individualized transition plan that addresses their areas of interest, educational and career goals.

Counseling Counselors meet with all students twice a year to review individualized graduation plans. For students who need to make up a D or a Fail, teachers offer credit recovery after school in the fall, spring and summer. Twice a year, counselors go into classrooms to discuss A-G requirements and college entrance requirements. In the spring, a STEM-related career day is held to help expand student knowledge of careers in the STEM field. In the spring, every student is allowed to select their classes for the next school year (honors and AP classes are presented and offered to each student). In conjunction with the college counselor, counselors assist with recruitment of dual enrollment, letters of recommendation, and personal statement writing.

ACS WASC Category B. Standards-based Student Learning: Curriculum Summary, Strengths, and Growth Needs

Notes

Summary FHS staff members can benefit from longitudinal focus professional development. The district tends to pull the staff in so many directions that it is difficult to move in one direction for any amount of time. Because there is a focus on reading and writing in every class, students have shown growth on standardized tests. There are many students taking advantage of the AP offerings at FHS. African American students continue to be under-represented in AP courses. As teachers work to think outside the box, the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme (recently approved by the teaching staff) appears to be a great fit to help our African American, Special Education and English Learner students. Over the next several years, the FHS may phase out the AP courses for the IB Diploma Programme.

Areas of Strength nn Teachers are working on common formative and summative assessments in many departments. nn Teachers are generally pacing courses similarly. nn Students are performing better on the SBAC and AP tests than similarly situated local schools nn FHS teachers offer many AP and honors courses to students.

Areas of Growth nn There is a need to have more interdisciplinary activities. nn More use of academic language nn Make courses more relevant to real world applications. nn Increase scores on the SBAC nn Common assessments in all departments

ACS WASC Category D. Standards-based Student Learning: Assessment and Accountability: Summary, Strengths, and Growth Needs

Notes

Summary Teachers and administrators continue to explore alternative assessment methods to provide authentic assessments for all students. Professional development hours have been dedicated to the subject. The resultant data from the SBAC is now much more accessible and has been utilized in decision making discussions about curriculum. The current societal emphasis on testing as a measure of educational success has increased awareness of the topic among our students and their families. Parents are provided with scores earned by their children on standardized tests and greater familiarity with tests allows parents to better understand their significance and provide supports for their children. Since FHS started administering the PSAT on a yearly basis, performance on the PSAT and SAT I have drastically improved. All 9th grade students have started taking the PSAT and subsequently take the PSAT on a yearly basis until their junior year. This provides teachers with data regarding the mastery of English Language Arts and Mathematics and how well-prepared students are for college. Additionally, the results of teacher-made assessments are shared with parents on a regular basis through report cards, parent conferences, phone calls and Schoology. Authentic assessment projects are frequently put on display in the classroom or in hallway display cases. and thereby shared with school stakeholders. Art shows, music and theater performances, and athletic competitions, are public events, sometimes used by elective teachers in place of traditional tests. PowerPoints and student video projects are another means of non-traditional assessment and uploaded to teacher websites like Schoology. The continued improvement of assessment success is of interest to members of the local community. With the understanding that test scores have been shown to be stronger among students with exposure to the arts, various agencies have reached out to our school to offer art-based experiences. For example, the Greenway Alliance conducts a theater craft course which is open to all students for credit. LACER after-school program also offers art classes to interested students.

Chapter III PAGE 89

Notes

Areas of Strength nn Standards-based curriculum is used in all core subjects, as evidenced by Common Core aligned mathematics textbooks and interim assessments based on the standards, NGSS in Science and new History standards implementation. nn Monitoring and reviewing graduation requirements through individualized graduation plans (IGPs) nn All teachers are using Schoology, the learning management system, to share resources, grade, and communicate with students and parents. nn Many teachers are already using research-based best practices of Mastery Learning and Grading to assess and communicate student learning. Several other teachers are currently in training or working to become facilitators of the training for other teachers at the school, with a goal of moving the school towards improving assessment and grading practices. nn PLC is structured and included in the school calendar with teachers and administrative staff participation with an intent of fostering student academic performance.

Areas of Growth nn There is a need for Integrated and Designated ELD teachers to meet and discuss English Learner assessments and implementation of ELD Standards in both classes. nn Many parents are still not using Schoology to monitor student grades. Create incentives for students and parents as well as opportunities to drive participation onto Schoology. Including parents as partners by helping them to log to parental portal and monitor progress. nn Teachers need to create opportunities to increase common planning between and across subjects to share and improve on student learning. nn Organized trainings and evaluation of results for SBACs and IABs (may be LD West led training) and equipping teachers with tools to help students score better on SAT.

Summary from Analysis of Identified Major Student Learner Needs

Major Student Need #1 FHS, like most schools in the local area, is experiencing declining enrollment. To combat the declining enrollment, the teaching staff has voted to implement the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme (MYP). There is a desperate need to begin in earnest working towards training teachers for the IB MYP. Most staff members are excited about the change but fear that the MYP model may fail in the same way that the SLC model. Funding, time and energy need to be put in to the MYP model quickly.

Major Student Need #2 The staff at FHS works well in PLC. However, at time, the staff is pulled in several directions at the same time. There is a need to create purposeful and thematic professional development that is longitudinal in scope. The staff needs to continue to implement effective research-based instructional practices. The staff needs to make a professional commitment to improve PLC practices at All Faculty, Department, and Content Team meetings while helping create a collegial learning environment.

Chapter IV PAGE 107

Notes

Major Student Need #3 Continue to work on improving English Language Arts and Mathematics student performance on the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) assessments. English Learners and African American students continue to struggle on the SBAC tests. Staff members need to determine why the scores are low and work on strategies to improve those scores.

Major Student Need #4 Create clear pathways and supports to ensure that targeted subgroups are provided with quality educational experiences at Fairfax HS.

Schoolwide Action Plan

nn Goal One: Schoolwide Action Plan nn Goal Two: Supporting African American Students nn Goal Three: Supporting Special Education Students nn Goal Four: Supporting all students to be College and Career Ready The Single Schoolwide Action Plan is informed by the Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA) and Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) as well as from data and the areas of growth identified by the WASC self-study process. While many goals and action items remain from the previous self-study, aligned with the SPSA and LCAP, the Fairfax staff agrees that additional action items are necessary for the school. The FHS Action Plan was developed at the conclusion of the selfstud process and is the result of a consensus that reflects the reports of the Focus Groups (Chapter V of the Self-Study). Many of the specific action steps described below have been in place for several years and others have been added as a result of annual reviews. All steps are under continuing assessment by the school leadership team with respect to effectiveness. The staff is committed to addressing the most important needs of students. Through a continuous focus on data, the FHS staff will be able to plan for improved student achievement and better address the needs of ALL students. The guiding questions are: nn Is the strategy or tactic geared towards improving student achievement for all students? nn Does data reveal that the strategy is working? nn What could be done more effectively to further student achievement? nn A re the goals SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Timebound)? nn How does the school make use of resources? nn How does the school track and monitor student progress?

Chapter V PAGE 109

Notes

As part of the self-study process, the staff found more data is available than ever before. The faculty has become more sophisticated in analyzing and disaggregating information since the last full visit. In many ways, the school appears to be doing a good job improving student achievement based on standardized test scores (SBAC, AP, PSAT and ACT). The news is encouraging - increasing numbers of students are closing the achievement gap. At the same time, far too many students are failing to earn enough credits to graduate with their peers and the end of four years. The Action Plan focuses more sharply than ever before on addressing deficits in reading, writing, and math skills in ways that are timely enough to ensure that all students succeed. The school has increased intervention supports, to provide students with many opportunities for success, such as after school and weekend credit recovery, an A-G counselor, Title III counselor and college counselor. The Action Plan, in conjunction with the SPSA and LCAP, validates a direction that will lead to continuous and positive change in the school and the crucial task of educating FHS students. The Action Plan represents the determination and commitment of the staff to educate all students.

Chapter V PAGE 111

The RI (Reading Inventory--reading comprehension test) is given to ALL English Learners (except SPED students in the modified curriculum) twice per year. If a student scores BASIC proficiency on the first RI (based on students’ grade level), the student does not have to take the test again that school year. The test is given in November and April each year.

If all three criteria are met within one academic year, then the student will reclassify (pending parental approval, of course).

In order to reclassify from an English Learner (LEP) to a reclassified student (RFEP), students must show proficiency in English in three ways: nn RI score of basic or higher nn ELPAC overall score of 4 nn passing grade in an English course (however, an SSPT can be called to verify that student can do grade level work if student does not pass his/her English class)

Reclassification is a metric that the school often uses to determine if EL students are being adequately supported. Reclassification procedures shall utilize multiple criteria in determining whether to reclassify a pupil as proficient in English, including, but not limited to, all the following: 1. Assessment of language proficiency using an objective assessment instrument, including, but not limited to, the English language development test that is developed or acquired pursuant to Section 60810. 2. Teacher evaluation, including, but not limited to, a review of the pupil’s curriculum mastery. 3. Parental opinion and consultation. 4. Comparison of the performance of the pupil in basic skills against an empirically established range of performance in basic skills based upon the performance of English proficient pupils of the same age, that demonstrates whether the pupil is sufficiently proficient in English to participate effectively in a curriculum designed for pupils of the same age whose native language is English. (CDE)

As the CELDT assessment has already sunset, staff members need to take proactive steps to make sure that pedagogy adapts to the new metrics for reclassification and success. Since 2014, the demand for an emphasis on rigor and literacy across the curriculum has increased. It is necessary for staff members to understand and prepare for this change of classroom expectations. FHS teachers have already completed training to address the new standards, as failing to prepare for the new assessments could derail the steady progress students made over the past six years.

Rationale:

Goal 1: Supporting English Learners

TIMELINE

The two metrics used for Reclassification are the Reading Inventory and the ELPAC. The ELPAC is given to all EL students each year. FHS staff members need to create a quick metric for success that is both meaningful and authentic without being cumbersome.

In order to better support our English Learners, we need to develop a master schedule that allows for appropriate grouping of students in both their English Language development classes as well as content area classes. This will also allow for more efficient use of resources such as Teacher Assistants and our Title III Coach.

So once a student has reclassified, they will not take the RI or the ELPAC, and no longer receive ELD support classes. (Additionally, SPED students who have been in the country for 5 or more years can reclassify on a new bulletin. If the IEP team determines that students cannot meet the criteria due to the nature of their disability, then the student can be administratively reclassified.)

The ELPAC is only given once a year, and tests students in reading, writing, speaking, and listening. It is given in the spring semester, usually March and April. If a student has an overall score of 4--”well developed”--then that student is eligible for reclassification.

TIMELINE

To close the achievement gap, African-American males are to be equal to or exceed the median graduation rate for Fairfax High School students. Additional targets focus on addressing issues of equity of African-American students including, but not limited to improving attendance rates, decreasing suspension rates, increasing representation in GATE programs, increasing representation in AP classes, working toward strong future graduation rates and increasing parental and community involvement.

Additionally, we will work to improve our college-going culture by engaging our African American families and communities through culturally relevant workshops and other activities.

Address increasing academic achievement, decreasing suspension rates, and improving attendance rates among ninth and tenth grade African American students. We will work to ensure that they are engaged by knowledgeable professionals who effectively meet the academic, cultural and social needs of the students. All ninth and tenth grade English Language Arts and Algebra 1 and 2 teachers will be trained in culturally and linguistically responsive teaching methodologies.

Fairfax High School must decrease the gaps in proficiency between the subgroups so that students are receiving an equitable education.

Professional Development

The school continues to emphasize and allocate resources to improving student learning for Special Education students. The FHS staff is dedicated to promoting high achievement for all students by ensuring equity, access, and support to standards-based curriculum and research-based instruction. FHS staff members strive to create a student-centered learning environment where students are safe, supported, cared for, and engaged in rigorous academic programs in preparation for college and career.

The gaps between subgroups needs to be consistently analyzed and evaluated to align proficiency targets with academic targets, this in cludes classroom grades and standardized assessments. All sub-groups should be moving forward in academic progress as well as profi ciency progress on a consistent basis.

The Federal (NCLB), state, and district mandates that all students show proficiency with a consistent rate of progress and be grade level pro ficient. This is an equity issue for our most at-risk students and Fairfax must provide an education that prepares all students for academic achievement and grade level proficiency.

LAUSD LCAP - 2017-20 Plan Summary THE STORY

Briefly describe the students and community and how the LEA serves them. The Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) is a district focused on ensuring all students are prepared for college, career and life. We are a district that serves over 557,000 Pre-K thru 12 grade students, of which 84% of these students are either eligible for free and reduced lunch, an English learner or in the foster youth system. Acknowledging the challenges our students confront every day, both academically and emotionally, is essential to ensuring resources are effectively targeted to our neediest students. As such, our objective in developing equitable practices in LAUSD is informed by our diverse population where nearly 94 languages other than English are spoken and 74% of our student population is Latino, 8.4% is African American and 6.04% is Asian/Pacific Islander. The District embraces strategies that foster opportunities and aim to close the opportunity gap for students identified by the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF). It cannot be done without our approximately 60,000 employees, consisting of teachers, administrators and classified personnel that are instrumental in helping LAUSD achieve the goals and objectives for improving student outcomes.

LCAP HIGHLIGHTS

Identify and briefly summarize the key features of this year’s LCAP. The Local Control Funding Formula establishes a target of funding growth for school districts throughout California. As LAUSD reaches the targeted funding level established under the law; of which we are currently 97% funded toward the District’s target, we must now look within to demonstrate improved services for our targeted youth under the LCFF. Through an equitable lens, our leaders have re-imagined and re-engineered programs aimed at providing services and additional personnel to some of our highest need schools that are determined by the District’s Student EquityBased index. Specifically, the District’s plan continues to sustain key targeted programs and has designed programs that better support our low-income, English learners and foster youth under the following District goals: Goal #1 - 100% Graduation: Nine LCAP actions that aim to increase the District’s graduation rate and ensure students graduate college and career ready. Expands funding flexibility for the use of resources at school-sites to better serve our targeted student populations. Counseling and Assistant Principal positions are provided professional development and guidance for effectively supporting English learners and foster youth. The professional development will focus on our Targeted Student Population (TSP) to support building a student-centered master schedule that provides equitable access and maintains a comprehensive, instructionally effective and compliant instructional program that fosters the academic achievement of English Learners, low income and foster youth. (Goal 1, Action 5) Goal #2 - Proficiency for All: Twelve LCAP actions are focused on attaining grade-level academic proficiency for all students. Sustains commitments for Foster youth through the continued funding of the Foster Youth Achievement Program (Goal 2, Action 1) Implement a coordinated professional development framework which focuses on designing professional development courses to identify & service targeted student population (Goal 2 Action 2) Goal #3 - 100% Attendance: Four District supported actions to effectively engage and foster growth in school attendance for students Redefine programs, such as nursing and our technology services, to better allocate these resources to our highest need schools via an equity-based index.

A-1

(Goal 3, Action 2) Goal #4 - Parent, Community and Student Engagement: LCAP actions support schools in enhancing partnerships and collaboration between parents, students, teachers and community members which specifically aim to develop and empower students to reach their full potential. Strengthen actions to decentralize parent and community engagement strategies and supports for schools (Goal 4, Action 2) Goal #5 - Ensure School Safety: Create safe and orderly school environments where students and staff feel safe, cared for, connected and respected which is conducive to learning for all students. Support commitments for the District’s Restorative Justice program (Goal 5, Action 1) Goal #6 - Basic Services: Essential to maintaining effective staff, clean and welcoming schools and ensuring students receive equitable access to basic services throughout the District.

REVIEW OF PERFORMANCE Based on a review of performance on the state indicators and local performance indicators included in the LCFF Evaluation Rubrics, progress toward LCAP goals, local self-assessment tools, stakeholder input, or other information, what progress is the LEA most proud of and how does the LEA plan to maintain or build upon that success? This may include identifying any specific examples of how past increases or improvements in services for low-income students, English learners, and foster youth have led to improved performance for these students.

GREATEST PROGRESS The Los Angeles Unified School District is proud of the heroic efforts by our teachers, counselors, parents, administrators and classified staff who rally around our students every day. We also thank our education leaders and partners who work with us to understand our challenges and celebrate our gains year after year.

LAUSD reached its highest graduation rate of 77% increasing by 9% over the last 3 years. Not only an increase but a demonstration that students are now completing the college required sequence of courses as part of their graduation requirement. The continued investments in credit recovery, graduation counseling and planning and furthering the culture change in our schools and amongst our families to set their sights on graduation, college and career through the District’s Pre-k thru 12th grade continuum will ensure our success continues.

LAUSD continues to demonstrate a great focus on addressing discipline through positive practices. The District continues to be a leader on decreasing the number of student suspensions with only .6% of our students being suspended in the 2015-16 school year. The 2 District remains focused on implementing the school climate bill of rights and the discipline foundation policy while rolling out a 4 year strategy to train all schools with restorative practices and positive behavior and intervention supports for youth. LAUSD is proud of the significant decrease in suspensions we have seen over the last 6 years which is a product of the policies and people leading the way in this work.

The District’s English learner reclassification rate is expected to increase to 17.2% for the 2016-17, a 6% increase in one year. In a district that serves over 124,000 English learners this is significant progress. A continued focus on monitoring English learner progress at schoolsites and establishing a foundation of culturally and linguistically responsive practices is resulting in greater progress for English Learners. With the passage of Proposition 58 and the transition to

A-2

the LPAC, the District is developing strategies to support an expansion of opportunities for English learners and their families.

Our chronic absenteeism rate for foster youth students in the District has decreased by 4%. With a renewed focus and increased investment in supporting foster youth, the District is seeing improved outcomes for these at-risk students. LAUSD will continue to sustain the $13 million invested in the Foster Youth achievement program as well as continue to align strategies aimed at improving attendance and academic progress for all foster youth.

The District’s participation in the school experience survey, a school-climate related survey, increased for parents by 13%. An important indicator that ensures parents are providing essential feedback regarding school performance and support for students and parents at schoolsites. The $5.3 million investment for parent engagement established in 2014-15 and the inclusion required workshop offerings for parents have enhanced the overall parent participation in the District. Referring to the LCFF Evaluation Rubrics, identify any state indicator or local performance indicator for which overall performance was in the “Red” or “Orange” performance category or where the LEA received a “Not Met” or “Not Met for Two or More Years” rating. Additionally, identify any areas that the LEA has determined need significant improvement based on review of local performance indicators or other local indicators. What steps is the LEA planning to take to address these areas with the greatest need for improvement?

GREATEST NEEDS The Los Angeles Unified School District’s performance on the California School Dashboard (CSD) does not identify any “Red” or “Orange” performance for any of the indicators provided in the Spring 2017 release. A local review of indicators not included in the CSD did identify areas that need significant improvement. Specifically, a review of the District’s performance found: 1) A pproximately 45% of the District’s 9-12 th grade students were on-track to complete their A-G graduation requirements with a C or better. The Division of Instruction continues to partner closely with local districts and school sites, engaging in ongoing efforts to raise the achievement of all students and especially those most at risk. In order to improve core curriculum and instruction, the district has invested in new state standards-aligned instructional materials for English Language Arts and mathematics and is planning adoptions for history/social studies and science in the coming years. The Division of Instruction continues to support Mastery Learning and Grading training district-wide to improve teachers’ instructional and assessment practices. Social-emotional learning and culturally and linguistically responsive teaching strategies are also areas of focused professional development for teachers. Another initiative to support student success is the continued growth of Linked Learning schools that provide a personalized learning environment for students that has clear connections to career pathways. Recognizing that success in high school requires strong middle and elementary school preparation, the Division of Instruction has concentrated on areas of need identified in the Middle School Framework for Action that focus on student identity and relationship formation, social-emotional

A-3

learning and mindset, authentic student choice, engagement, and real-world and personal connections. The Early Language and Literacy Plan is also designed to provide additional supports in elementary schools to ensure students begin to achieve literacy benchmarks before they leave the elementary grades. Student struggles with achieving A-G graduation requirements with a C or better are most focused in English Language Arts and mathematics courses. The Division of Instruction continues to update resources for English and mathematics support courses at the high school level. For example, the math advisors on the Division of Instruction A-G team have collaborated with local district coordinators and central office secondary math staff in the design of a fully integrated Algebra 1 Intervention Program. The program is intended for flexible implementation in upper secondary grades using a pull-out model, during advisory periods, or in an additional math lab setting. Students may enter the intervention setting as determined by their teacher, counselor, or by their own request and they continue in the program for as long as needed. The program comprises all elements needed to support students in mastering the concepts and skills required to pass Algebra 1. Students who do not achieve a C or better have the opportunity to retake those courses as well. A wide array of high school credit recovery courses are offered to students needing to make up classes for A-G completion. These courses comprise virtual or blended models in the Edgenuity platform. In addition, the Performance Assessment Student Support (PASS) program was developed by the district to allow teachers raise student grades by differentiating learning opportunities so students can demonstrate mastery of course objectives in Algebra 1, Algebra 2 A/B, Geometry A/B and English 9, 10 and 11 courses. Schools also offer â&#x20AC;&#x153;grade increaseâ&#x20AC;? opportunities using the STAR-17 program where needed, to better prepare students to be competitive in making college applications. 2) B ased on 2015-16 Eleventh grade Early Assessment Program (EAP), only 7% of eleventh grade students demonstrated college readiness through the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s math assessment. The Division of Instruction continues to support local district and schools to implement the new state standards in mathematics. The district implemented new instructional materials in core math courses aligned with the standards in the 2015-16 school year and plans to adopt additional instructional materials in the advanced and elective mathematics courses in the 2018-19 school year. The Division of Instruction is also continuing to invest in targeted support and intervention programs to meet the instructional needs of at-risk students at all grade levels. Based on the middle grades Framework for Action, students in grades 5-9 may demonstrate more success when offered more engaging courses aligned with real-world and personal connections. The Division of Instruction has expanded efforts to develop new, more engaging courses at the high school level including: Financial Algebra 1 and 2 that focus on teaching algebra concepts through finance and business applications Introduction to Data Science that engages students in using participatory sensing devices to collect data as well as analyze the data using analysis software Transition to College Mathematics and Statistics designed to provide students with quantitative reasoning experiences and skills to be prepared for college level mathematics courses.

A-4

A key to aligning mathematics instruction with the new standards is for teachers to understand how assessments must be adapted to allow students to demonstrate their proficiency. The Division of Instruction continues to invest in teacher professional development aligned with Building Educator Assessment Literacy (BEAL) so teachers can understand the expectations of the new Smarter Balanced Assessment and how to align their classroom assessments with these new expectations. Leaders of mathematics district-wide are also incorporating concepts from Mathematical Mindsets by Jo Boaler into professional development for teachers. These strategies are aligned with social-emotional learning practices that focus teachers and students on the power of mistakes and struggle, the development of rich mathematical tasks and supporting growth mindset in students. 3) T he District’s overall chronic absenteeism grew by 1% although there was progress in particular student groups. Although the District Chronic Absence Rate grew from 13% to 14%, significant reductions were found in student subgroups. The Chronic Absence Rate for long-term foster youth decreased from 23% to 15.8%. In addition, the district has identified and implemented multiple strategies to improve the availability of actionable Local District and school site attendance data and tools to support attendance improvement efforts district-wide. We are also developing online tools to train school site and district staff on attendance taking procedures, processes, and interventions. The district continues to invest in targeted support and interventions, focusing on schools with the highest chronic absence rates for TK/Kinder and 9th grade levels, as research supports that chronic absence in these grades are strong predictors of student academic failure and dropout. Referring to the LCFF Evaluation Rubrics, identify any state indicator for which performance for any student group was two or more performance levels below the “all student” performance. What steps is the LEA planning to take to address these performance gaps?

PERFORMANCE GAPS The recently released California School Dashboard identifies three student groups in which performance levels are two performance levels below the “all students” performance for students in the LAUSD. Specifically, American Indian students and English Learner students were identified as having a performance gap in the District’s graduation rate and Students with Disabilities were identified as having performance gaps in the District’s graduation rate, and the state’s Math and English Language Arts assessments. In order to address these performance gaps, the District intends to continue the implementation of various strategies aimed at providing a comprehensive approach to addressing the needs of these three student groups.

A-5

LCAP—English Learners LCAP GOAL #1: 100% Graduation To support English Learner student outcomes the district will expand dual language/bilingual programs. The district will invest in hiring bilingual teachers and staff who can support students and communicate with parents and students in their language. There is a need to hire more college counselors for students to graduate with all required classes. Ensure credit recovery courses are designed to support LTELs, PLTELs and newcomers. Counselors will be hired to focus on English Learners academic needs. They will ensure students are provided with additional information in the following areas: nn Access to AP courses nn A-G courses to ensure graduation and completion of A-G courses nn Monitor school/student for academic progress nn Analyze data to inform instruction nn Students meet grade level standards nn Preparation for college and/or careers nn Implement/expand vocational training Counselors who are bilingual in students’ primary language will be identified and/or hired to support newcomer English Learners.

LCAP GOAL #2: Proficiency for All English Learners will be offered additional supports during Designated English Language Development and Integrated English Language Development in English Language Arts, Math and Science. Beginning in the 2017-2018 school year all stakeholders will engage in the transition and implementation of the new English Language Proficiency Assessment in California (ELPAC). Students in the following cohorts will be supported to ensure academic success and to achieve benchmark expectations in both ELPAC and SBAC: nn Newcomers nn English Learners nn Potential English Learners nn Long Term English Learners nn Provide Intervention, Support & Tutoring To address the need for intervention and support for English Learner outcomes the District will identify and invest in diagnostic assessments for students in grades 3-11 who are Potential Long Term English Learners (PLTELs) and Long Term English Learners 4 (LTELs) not meeting reclassification criteria.

A-6

Supports will be designed based on students’ profile as follows: nn Profile E-F—Students not passing Language Assessments nn Profile G-H—Students not passing Language or Literacy Assessments nn Profile C-D—Students not passing Literacy Assessments Teachers will be provided additional professional development in diagnostic assessments for PLTELs and LTELs. They will engage in data analysis and provide action plans to ensure students receive interventions that are designed to meet their individual instructional needs. Directors and Principals will be provided additional professional development in setting up systematic monitoring structures in school/student academic progress. Structures used to analyze data to inform instruction for students not meeting benchmark expectations.

LCAP GOAL # 4: Parent Engagement Parents of English Learners who are Potential Long Term English Learner (P-LTELs) and Long Term English Learners (LTELs) will participate in parent conferences, workshops and training to learn about ways to help their students acquire English Language and literacy comprehension. Materials for parents will be written and delivered in a language they speak.

LCAP – Students with Disabilities LCAP GOAL #1: 100% Graduation In collaboration and partnership with other District departments, the Division of Special Education ensures that students with disabilities are included in District-wide initiatives related to graduation in four areas:

Direct Instruction to students with disabilities

In partnership with A-G Diploma Project Counselors, Division of Transition (DOT) Teachers work with subgroups of students who are behind on credits and at-risk for not being eligible for graduation regarding graduation requirements and post-secondary options. Course development includes a middle school elective class on preparation for high school and self-advocacy as well as a high school elective course designed to help students plan for life after high school.

Waivers

School staff are encouraged to publicize the use of waivers for specific a-g requirements as needed for students with disabilities. These waivers include: Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Languages other than English, and PE.

Parents as partners

Parents of students with disabilities participate in parent conferences, workshops, and training to learn about the differences between the certificate of completion and diploma, graduation requirements, and post-secondary options. They also learn about how to support their students in developing self-advocacy and self-determination in preparation for college, career, and life options.

A-7

Certificates of Completion

The DOTs team facilitates the district-wide issuance of certificates of completion and educates school sites on their use.

LCAP GOAL #2: Proficiency for All In recognition that early literacy intervention leads to better student outcomes, the Division of Special Education has been engaged in intervention efforts designed to close the achievement gap in literacy in Grades TK-12. In the LAUSD SELPA Plan, the literacy goals are the following: nn Increase participation and proficiency of students with disabilities in statewide student assessment nn Increase the percentage of students with disabilities who are literate nn Assure that students with disabilities attain higher standards in all domains of language arts (listening, speaking, reading, and writing)

LCAP Early Literacy Goal In addressing the LCAP goal of increasing 2nd grade early literacy rates, the Division of Special Education has entered a multi-year partnership with the Division of Instruction with the Early Language and Literacy Plan (ELLP). The overarching goal of the ELLP initiative is to ensure that all students will read, write, speak, and listen with efficiency and accuracy by the age of nine. Now in its second year of implementation, ELLP has sponsored ongoing teacher and administrator professional development in the areas of early literacy and language development, research-based multi-sensory literacy intervention, data-driven inquiry process for improving student outcomes, and application of Universal Design for Learning to broaden access for diverse learners. As 2nd grade early literacy rates improve, there will be a corresponding decrease in the number of inappropriate referrals to special education.

LCAP Increase 3rd-8th & 11th Grade ELA and Math Proficiency Goal With the majority of students with disabilities on the core curriculum, the Division has been committed to a robust partnership with general education partners in supporting general education teachers and administrators through job-embedded, high quality professional learning opportunities to address the LCAP Goal of increasing 3rd-8th & 11th Grades ELA and Math Standards Proficiency. Many of the Division instruction-based workshops are designed in collaboration with content experts in literacy and mathematics to ensure equitable access to all areas of the curricula provided for a diverse range of learners. Priorities in this development of workshop content includes the following: nn California frameworks and content standards implementation for all students nn Integration of Universal Design for Learning and evidence-based practices for students with disabilities into District sponsored trainings on the new Math and ELA/ELD textbooks at the elementary, middle, and high school levels (2015-2017) nn California English Language Development standards implementation in tandem with all California content standards through designated and integrated ELD

A-8

nn Literacy and language instruction that ensures all students read, write, speak, and listen effectively, accurately, and fluently by the end of 2nd grade nn Accelerated literacy and math intervention for students in grades 4 and above who did not respond to previous interventions in the early grades nn Culturally and linguistically responsive instructional strategies integrated in all content areas to provide access and equity for diverse learners Universal Design for Learning as the foundation for Tier 1 high quality instruction. Workshops have been provided to special education teachers as well as to local district teams and school site teams, including workshops for instructional coaches and leaders Mastery Learning and Grading Practices training for all teachers in utilizing inclusive approaches to assessment of learning New “a-g” courses designed to be inclusive of students with disabilities to better prepare them for college and careers, such as Financial Algebra, 21st Century Career Exploration, Introduction to Data Science and Computer Science, and Integrated Science

To support students with disabilities in inclusive settings, general education teachers are invited to attend special education sponsored workshops and salary-point classes on evidence-based literacy and mathematics interventions, positive behavior supports and crisis intervention, evidencebased practices for mixed-ability classrooms, students with Autism Spectrum Disorders, social emotional learning, and inclusive practices.

LCAP Goal Increase EL Reclassification Rate Approximately one in five English Learners in LAUSD are also students with disabilities. In collaboration with the Multilingual and Multicultural Education Department (MMED), the Division is engaged in providing teacher workshops and training in supporting English Learners who are potential long term English Learners (PTELs) and Long Term English Learners (LTELs) in development of academic English proficiency to meet grade level standards and become eligible for reclassification. The Division is also engaged in developing policy guidelines for IEP teams to follow when making recommendations for LTELs who are eligible for special education services to be reclassified as Fluent English Proficient.

LCAP GOAL #5: ENSURE SCHOOL SAFETY In an effort to decrease instructional days lost to suspension and increase student safety in schools, the Division of Special Education offers a number of professional development opportunities (webbased and face-to-face) to support both general education and special education teachers, including para-educators, in implementing supports for all students.

A-9

These PD opportunities include the following: nn Strengthening Our Behavior Skills (SOBS) for Para-Educators nn Online Classroom Management Modules accessible via Learning Zone nn CHAMPS (K-8) – four modules on Classwide Positive Behavior Support nn Discipline in the Secondary Classroom (9-12) – four modules on effective positive behavior support systems for older students nn Positive Behavior Support Online module (PBS 101) nn Salary Point Classes on a variety of topics for implementing positive behavior supports and systems in the classroom

District Supports – American Indian Students LCAP GOAL #1: 100% Graduation The District has developed an “All Hands on Deck” strategy to support student A-G completion and graduation efforts in the District. This has resulted in greater interventions, credit recovery and monitoring to ensure all student are on-track to graduate in LAUSD. Specifically for American Indian students, the District’s Indian Education Program serves numerous students via strategies to engage students through a culturally relevant curriculum intended to immerse students in their learning and develop skills to successfully graduate college and career ready. 1. leadership opportunities via attending program committee meeting once a month 2. afterschool programs focusing this year on current events/community leaders 3. dance workshop, learning about pow wows, dance/regalia origins, physical fitness... 4. school/classroom presentations, community awareness 5. regalia making, learning about the importance/origins and learning a skill 6. promoting/partnering with youth conferences, leadership building and college readiness 7. staff conferences to stay informed about national/state standard for native education 8. community event resource/activity booths for recruitment and education https://achieve.lausd.net/cms/lib/CA01000043/Centricity/Domain/358/lcap2017-59.pdf
