  1. Single Plan For Student Achievement (SPSA) Presented by: Amy Barker and MartieHagarty Regional Systems of District and School Support (RSDSS) Region 2

  2. Essential Questions • What is the purpose of the Single School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA) and how can it directly improve student achievement? • What are the steps necessary to develop the SPSA?

  3. Definitions • SSC-Student Site Council • SPSA-- Single Plan for Student Achievement • LEA Plan –District Plan under NCLB • Con App- Consolidated Application Part I, Part II • Advisory or Governance – Student Site Council & other groups advisory to administration and Board of Education • Indirect Costs-- Expenses to cover administrative cost of programs • Centralized Services —Services run by district for sites • 85/15 Rule -- EC 63001 –at least 85% of the categorical funds must be used for direct services to students at the school site.

  4. SPSA Legislation • In 2001, legislation was passed that all schools that participate in state and federal categorical programs funded through the consolidated application must have a Single School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA).

  5. Purposes of the “Single Plan” Consolidate all school plans Base school goals on data analysis Align content of single plan with school goals “Game plan”for raising student performance Integration of State and Federal Programs Accountability for your tax dollars Condition of funding— LEA Plan: NCLB, Section 1112(a) SPSA: Education Code 64001(a) (Education Code sections 64001(d),(f))

  6. Components of SPSA • Effective instruction • Align with the LEA Plan and LCAP Plan • Data analysis • Focuses on student achievement and academic interventions • Implements high leverage school improvement actions • Alignment of resources • Uses research-based strategies

  7. Role of the School Site Council Requirements • Develop plan • Governing board approval • Monitor implementation • Evaluate effectiveness of plan • Annually Update

  8. Legal Specifics for SPSA • Developed and approved by School Site Council • Programs funded through the Consolidated Application (Con App) • Reviewed annually by School Site Council • School goals • Improving student achievement • Alignment • School advisory committee • Consolidated Application funds • LEA Plan • Governing Board approval

  9. Consolidated Application(ConApp) • Role of CDE • Spring release • Part I- LEAs intent to apply for funds (due in June of each year) • Winter/Fall release • Part II- LEAs distribution of funds to school sites (due February 28th of each year) • State Board of Education approval

  10. Role of the Consolidated Application The Consolidated Application is an agreement between each LEA governing board and the State Board of Education on the use of funds. • Once submitted and approved by the local governing board and State Board, the Con App is the document that auditors and compliance review personnel use to determine supplement-supplant issues.

  11. District Superintendent Provides • General administration of schools • Leadership and training for SSCs (COEs) • Assessment data • Information on standards & curriculum • Staffing, purchasing and accounting • Guidance and assistance in the development of the plan.

  12. District Governing Board Responsibilities • Approve or disapprove the Single Plan for Student Achievement and its subsequent revisions • Certify that school plans are consistent with local improvement plans required for federal funding

  13. Recommended Steps for Developing the Single Plan for Student Achievement

  14. Step One Analyze student achievement data • CAASPPdata • AMAOs • CAHSEE • CELDT • API report • AYP report • Local benchmarks assessments

  15. Step Two • Measure Effectiveness of Current Improvement Strategies State Program Assessment Tools Comprehensive Needs Assessment • http://www2.ed.gov/policy/elsec/guid/designingswpguid.doc Academic Program Survey • http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/ac/ti/stateassesspi.asp

  16. Step Three • Identify Achievement Goals that Align with the District LEA Plan

  17. Be a Critical Consumer of Educational Research • Fads and innovations in education • “Good” and “bad” research in education • Research-based vs. research-validated • Gates Foundation support for small high schools • Class Size Reduction (CSR) program in California • U.S. Department of Education School Improvement Grants • Lessons from the Comprehensive School Reform Demonstration (CSRD) • Only 3 of 24 models evaluated by American Institutes for Research (AIR) had strong evidence of improving student achievement. (American Institutes for Research [1999])

  18. Where to Find Research-Based Programs that Work • An Educator’s Guide to Schoolwide Reform (American Institutes for Research [1999]) http://www.eric.ed.gov/PDFS/ED460429.pdf • What Works Clearinghousehttp://ies.ed.gov/ncee/wwc/ • Education Week online http://www.edweek.org/ew/index.html • Other Evidence-based strategies

  19. Step Four • Define Details: • Timelines • Personnel Responsible • Proposed Expenditures • Funding Sources to Implement the Plan

  20. Step Five Approve the SPSA • SSC approval • Local governing board

  21. Step Six • Implement the Plan • Assigning • Directing • Supervising-Inspect what you expect • Keep the focus on the plan • Purchasing materials • Training

  22. Step Seven Monitor and Evaluate the Plan • Strategies, Actions, Tasks • Implementation calendar • Walk-throughs • Mid-year checks for progress and barriers • Annual Evaluation • Formative • Summative • Evaluation documentation (CE 28)

  23. Cycle of Continuous Improvement Cycle of Continuous Improvement

  24. Mid-year Changes to the SPSA • Ineffective service or actions • Staff, equipment, or materials • School boundaries or demographic changes • Non-compliant activity • Lack of support

  25. Funding Sources • Federal: • Title I: Low income, under-performing students • Title II: Teacher and principal quality • Title III: Language instruction for English Learners • State: • Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) • Base Grant • Supplement Grant: for unduplicated students • Concentration Grant: for unduplicated students over 55% of student population

  26. Who Should Help Create the SPSA • School Site Council • School Leadership Team • Advisory Committees: • English Learner Advisory Committee (ELAC) • School Advisory Committee (SAC) • Other Parent Groups • PTA • GATE Committee
