  5. Key Shifts in Mathematics • Greater focus on fewer topics • Coherence: linking topics and thinking across grades • Rigor: pursue conceptual understanding, procedural skills and fluency, and application with equal intensity

  6. Next Generation Science Standards • Practices describe behaviors that scientists engage in as they investigate and build models and theories about the natural world and the key set of engineering practices that engineers use as they design and build models and systems. • Crosscutting concepts • application across all domains of science(ie., Patterns, similarity, and diversity; Cause and effect) • Disciplinary Core Ideas: • Broad importance across multiple sciences • Provide a key tool for understanding • Relate interests and life experiences of students • Be teachable and learnable over multiple grades at increasing levels of depth

  7. Professional Development • SLCT Days (Early Release Wednesdays) • Release Days & Saratoga Symposium • Purpose: Teacher Collaboration and PD to design and implement best practices to support all of our students • Areas of Focus: • Social Emotional Literacy • CCSS Math, ELA • Writing • NGSS • Safety • STEM • Assessment

  12. SUSD Strategic Plan Community: Engage the community to build ongoing, permanent relationships so that a common vision is shared and implemented. Professional Development: Engage in learning opportunities to grow professionally so that it affects continuous improvement and refinement of learning, teaching, and processes

  13. SUSD Strategic Plan Innovation: A new way of doing things that is transformational, original, and creative so it inspires others to learn. Academics: Support differentiated instruction where students need it; teachers inspire change in curriculum and methods of delivery. Student Well-Being: Foster a positive physical, social, and emotional learning environment to allow students to thrive, flourish, and learn.

  14. LCAP – A New Way of Thinking What are our achievement goals and what must we do to improve the conditions of learning, increase engagement, and improve school climate? What are our expectations for students? What programs and services are achieving desired results? Program Decisions Based on the resources available, what actions and activities will we implement next year? What can we accomplish in three years? How will we measure our progress?

  15. SUSD Local Control Accountability Plan SUSD Strategic Plan Single Plans for Student Achievement SUSD Technology Learning Plan Local Education Agency Plan (LEAP) Consolidated Application (Titles 1, 2, and 3) School Accountability Report Cards (SARC)

  16. Three Priority Categories for Planning Purposes • The LCAP template groups the eight state priorities into three categories for planning purposes: 3 1 2 Conditions of Learning Pupil Outcomes Engagement

  17. Eight Priority Areas • Student Achievement • Student Engagement • School Climate • Basic Services • Implementation of Common Core State Standards • Course Access • Parental Involvement • Other Student Outcomes

  18. SUSD LCAP Goals Goal 1: All staff will participate in Professional Development in ELA and Math Common Core State Standards and Next Generation Science Standards to focus on instructional shifts, depth of knowledge, and differentiated instruction. Goal 2: All students will have access to ELA and Math Common Core State Standards and Next Generation Science Standards instruction and materials. Goal 3: SUSD staff will identify, develop, and use formative, interim, and summative assessments to measure students’ performance on Math and ELA Common Core State Standards and Next Generation Science Standards. Goal 4: Increase proficiency levels for all English Learners.

  19. SUSD LCAP Goals Goal 5: The District and school sites will maintain effective communication, which includes a process to include input from all stakeholders, and offer opportunities for stakeholder engagement. Goal 6: All students will be educated in a safe environment that integrates social emotional literacy and provides opportunities for engagement of students and stakeholders at all levels. Goal 7: Cultivate innovative and empowered learners through personalized learning, 21st Century Learning Skills (creativity, collaboration, communication, and critical thinking), and the infusion of technology.
