SPDG Bidders WebinarMonday April 19, 2010 Louisiana SPDG: Collaborating with LEAs Melanie Lemoine lemoinem@lsu.edu www.lasig2.org
Louisiana SPDG and LEAs • Support 15 LEAs in the state • Most at District Level Support; Some at School Level Support • Goal is to leverage what they are already doing; SPDG should not be separate initiative • Collaborate funds across sources • Districts sign MOU each year
School Improvement Framework • Schools and Districts identify PD needs based on their data • Must include certain elements in all PD: • Data • UDL – Accessible curriculum for all • Disproportionality • Family Engagement • Tiered Model of Interventions for Behavior and Academics
Districts Focus on a Variety of Efforts • Literacy • Behavior • RtI • Inclusive Practices
District Allocations • Very specific funding formula • BESE approved • Based on number of schools participating • Based on number of years in project (decreased over time) • Incentive Dollars • Districts can increase allocations if they meet certain criteria: • Above state average for LRE • Above state average for GPS • Below state average for out-of-school suspension • Zero out pervious year’s allocation
Support as We Move Forward • Districts as Mentors for new districts • Reduce support intensity to ensure sustainability • Scale up practices • Ensure changes in practice
