  1. District Mandated Programs “The Have To’s” For Roy Cloud School

  2. Basis for Change • Roosevelt School Model was to submit a plan to the Board to pilot “project based learning” as part of their Roosevelt Revitalization Project. • The board approved of this in 2007. • As part of our move to change, a group of parents has asked for clarification and parameters for our move to change at Roy Cloud. • In this year’s SPSA, or Site Plan, the Site Council approved of several broad changes to help initiate this change.

  3. “The Have To’s” • Need to demonstrate gains in achievement over time. • Utilize the Content Standards but allow for Differentiated Instruction • Adopted Curriculum needs to be a basis for teaching • Teachers must monitor the progress of their students by “conducting 2-3 benchmark assessments, and the DIBELs reading assessment in the primary grades” • English Language Development must be taught to those who need it. This is done during TIG time. • Any changes need to be part of the SPSA or Site Plan.

  4. Common Core Standards • A team of lead teachers and principals from select schools, including ours, will be trained to help train our district staff. • Common Core for California has been adopted and 15% additional standards to the National Common Core. • Testing will be implemented in 2014-2015 school year. • District will initiate training in August 2012 for Common Core. • RCSD will first implement Common Core in Grades K and 1.

  5. The Bottom Line • Common Core - We need to transition from the pacing guides and the 1997 California Standards to the Common Core in a coherent and productive manner. • Assessments- We need to continue to administer district mandated assessments until changes are adopted. ( Benchmark and DIBELs) We need to use this data to ensure that we are still improving student achievement on the CST exams. • ELD- We need to devote Staff development time on improving our teaching of English Language Development for Els. • TIG time- We need to differentiate instruction in a manner that addresses all student levels especially “at risk” and EL students.
