Students Learning and Thriving Aligning Your SPSA with the LCAP SAMPLE
Students Learning and Thriving What Is Our ACTION PLAN? Our School Goal contains the elements of a SMART goal. The Theory of Action results in a STRATEGY. An Action describes the primary activities needed to implement the strategy. The aggregate steps needed to fulfill each action are listed as TASKS.

Students Learning and Thriving Research-based Strategies More can be done to improve education by improving the effectiveness of teachers than by any other single factor. The most important factor affecting student learning is the teacher.
Students Learning and Thriving Research-based Strategies Effective teachers appear to be effective with students of all achievement levels regardless of the level of heterogeneity in their classrooms.
Summary of the Research Least Effective Teacher 14 points Most Effective Teacher53 points Average Student Gain in Percentile Points over One Year Least Effective Teacher 29 points Most Effective Teacher 83 points Average Student Gain in Percentile Points over Three Years According to Katy Haycock, “Differences of this magnitude – 50 percentile points – are stunning. As all of us know only too well, they can represent the differences between a ‘remedial’ label and placement in the ‘accelerated’ or even ‘gifted’ track. And the difference between entry into a selective college and a lifetime [of subsistence wages].”

Increased Engagement = Increased Academic Outcomes • Bluemnfeld, Friedel, and Paris (2003) • Marzano (2007) • (Raphael, Pressley, & Mohan, (2008)

Active Engagement and Direct Instruction Explicit and systematic teaching does not preclude the use of active engagement strategies. In fact, one of the most prominent features of well delivered direct instruction is high levels of active engagement on the part of all students.
If….Then IF… we don’t design lessons and units that will earn students’ commitment to learn, THEN… we can’t expect them to take an active or in depth approach to learning.
Marzano, (2011) Emotions Interest Importance Efficacy On-the-spot Hold-ups Movement Note-taking Concept analysis Himmele & Himmele, (2011)
Active Engagement and Motivation Factors affecting the development of intrinsic motivation in a school setting: • Level of challenge offered by tasks and materials • Quality and timing of feedback to students about heir work • Supports and scaffolds available to learners • Students’ interest in tasks and content • Nature of the learning context • Intrinsically motivated students tend to persist longer, work harder, actively apply strategies, and retain key information more consistently.

Students Learning and Thriving Implementation Science Segue from implementing strategies to monitoring progress. Michael’s slides and notes?
Students Learning and Thriving Monitor Progress Associated elements: Assessment, Teachers, Leaders, Instruction, Curriculum, Equity Questions to consider: What data will we collect? How will we judge the impact on learning of our efforts? How will we modify instruction based on the data? How is each associated element related to Monitoring Progress? Do we have the appropriate supports, interventions, and extensions in place? For students? For teachers?
