IV. Comprehensive Needs Assessment Components A. Data Analysis (See Appendix A) It is the goal of Mission Valley to improve the scores of all students who are not performing at a proficient or advanced performance level. We have transitioned to the Common Core Standards, and grades 3-6 took the SBAC tests in the spring of 2016, as well as our district benchmarks. We believe that as our students “grow up” with CCSS, their scores will improve. Our Problem of Practice is Checking for Understanding. B. Surveys Staff Survey Our staff survey conducted in the spring of 2016 indicated that 68% of our teachers felt that LFC meetings were beneficial in addressing student needs . The majority of teachers felt the most valuable staff development they had was Google, Tech sessions, and choice sessions. When asked what kinds of training they would like to have, teachers said time with others/collaborate and lesson demonstrations or ideas. Student Survey Overall, the student survey results were very positive. The only concern is that 54% of the students indicated that they feel students do not treat each other with respect. Parent Survey 59% of our parents completed the annual survey with an overwhelmingly positive response for each question. The survey did not indicate any pressing needs to address. C. Classroom Observations Based upon staff conversations, principal observations, and grade level meetings, the following needs are evident: o o o

Teachers need time to collaborate with colleagues. Check for Understanding is an area that we as a school determined to be an area of focus and will be addressed through the Instructional Rounds process, with a focus on math. It is recommended that teachers continue to hone their skills with technology to keep up with the demands of 21st Century learning. This is important as we begin to utilize our new ERC and iPads, in addition to Chromebook carts. Although Lexia and AR are important and valuable, teachers will be encouraged to utilize technology in new capacities. This could include iPad apps that help students to create presentations, stories, videos, and pictures integrating many content areas.

D. Student Work and School Documents SBAC Percentage of Students who Met and Exceeded Standards in ELA: 3rd: 38%, 4th: 44%, 5th: 50%, 6th: 57% SBAC Percentage of Students who Met and Exceeded Standards in Math: 3rd: 45%, 4th: 31%, 5th: 31% 6th: 45% TCSD MV Language Performance Task Trimester 3 Percent Proficient and Advanced 1st: 88%, 2nd: 86%, 3rd: 70%, 4th: 53%, 5th: 42%, 6th: 74% TCSD MV Math Benchmark Assessment Trimester 3 Percent Proficient and Advanced 1st:88%, 2nd: 86%, 3rd: 50%, 4th: 44%, 5th: 33%, 6th: 46% SSC ELAC Monitor and Review March 1, 2016 A team of seven parents and school staff members conducted our annual monitor and review. We broke into three groups and visited classrooms at every grade level. The goal of this review was to find evidence of student engagement, varied classroom instruction, positive room environment, and Common Core instruction as outlined in our school wide plan. Our findings are included below. Student Engagement The team was very impressed with student engagement across all grade levels. Most classrooms were accustomed to working in groups or pairs. Students were on task whether they were working in small groups or being instructed whole class. When students were questioned about what they were working on they were able to explain the task. Due to this observation, it was noted that all tasks seemed to be engaging and grade level appropriate. Although The Single Plan for Student Achievement

actual Kagan structures were not observed, students were working well together in a cooperative and engaging manner which is the goal of Kagan structures. One observer noted that classrooms, “worked like clockwork.” Classroom Instruction Mission Valley teachers displayed evidence of quality instruction in a variety of ways. Some examples of whole class instruction included: modeling using direct instruction, Google Docs, instruction in the Educational Resource Center (ERC), language arts, and math instruction. Small groups included iPad usage, 95% chip kits, math and language arts activities. There was a good balance between whole group and small group instruction throughout all grade levels. The team saw evidence of Thinking Maps used in many areas of the curriculum. For example, a double bubble map was used to compare and contrast tornados and hurricanes, a brace map was used to show the parts for place value, and a circle map was used for informational writing. Students and teachers seem to be more comfortable using technology whether it was with Chromebooks, Promethean boards, slates, iPads, or PCs. Mission Valley’s teachers used a variety of instructional strategies which included student created journals and logs being used by students as references, creative learning centers using games to reinforce concepts, and note taking in multiple ways.

Evidence of Positive Room Environment The overall impression of the classroom environment at Mission Valley was extremely positive. Student work from a variety of subject areas was displayed in every grade level. The team noted how creative the work was. Character Counts posters were displayed in all rooms and many teachers connect their classroom rules to the pillars. Students were friendly and eager to share with the team when asked about the tasks they were working on. Students were also polite, respectful and encouraging when working with classmates. One of the parents felt that the themes of the classrooms made them an inviting and comfortable place for students to learn. A parent stated, “I was impressed that the students knew the routines and their behavior was very good.” Evidence of Common Core There was evidence of Common Core instruction in every classroom. In language arts we noted examples of: o Non-fiction text: articles, readers, Scholastic News, internet research o Literature circles o Vocabulary study including images, pictures, examples, and definitions o Rich teacher led discussions o Citing evidence to support answers o Writing and reading in a variety of genres o Poetry interpretation o Connecting written assignments to real world experiences Math instruction continues to challenge students to explain their mathematical understanding with the implementation of Common Core. In the classrooms we saw: o Math journals o Number Talks o Students explaining their mathematical thinking (Even kindergarteners!) o A variety of manipulatives being used across the grade levels o Computation followed by reasoning, discussions, reflections, sketches, etc… o Real world problems o A progression of skills from grade to grade o WMP, WMV o Math centers, games, and activities

Commendations The team would like to recognize the Mission Valley staff for their efforts in the following: o Embracing technology in the ERC and Chromebook rooms with new and innovative activities and projects o The evidence of all subject areas displayed in the classroom o The time and attention devoted to developing writing skills beginning in TK with short sentences to well written multi paragraph essays or narratives in upper grades The Single Plan for Student Achievement

FEDERAL AND STATE FUNDED PROGRAMS 2016-2017

On an annual basis the Tulare City School District receives State and Federal funds to supplement the core curriculum. These funds are used for all students and students of significant sub-groups who are identified as not meeting academic standards, especially those who are socio-economically disadvantaged. The specific uses of these funds are described in the school’s Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA)/Title I School Wide Plan (SWP) and the district’s Local Education Agency (LEA) Plan. School site’s SPSA/SWP and the district’s LEA Plan are developed in collaboration with School Site Councils (SSC), District Advisory Committee (DAC), District English Language Advisory Committee (DELAC), and Migrant Parent Advisory Council (PAC), teachers, district specialist, principals and district administrators. Each SPS/SWP and the LEA Plan are revised annually to meet the changing needs of students, parents, and staff and to meet State and Federal (No Child Left Behind) requirements. Tulare City School District’s Funded Programs are as follows: 1.

Title I, Part A (Helping Disadvantaged Students Meet Standards) – A federally-funded program for the purpose of meeting the needs of students who are at risk of failing to meet state and/or district standards in reading, language arts, or math. Services and materials supplement and work in concert with the base/core programs.

2.

Title II, Part A (Improving Teacher Quality State Grants) – A federally-funded program that focuses on increasing the academic achievement of all students by helping schools and school districts improve teacher and principal quality and ensure that all teachers are highly qualified.

3. Title III – A federally funded program provides funding for Limited English Proficient (LEP) students. These funds are used for professional development for school staffs, instructional support, curricular development, and parent involvement for activities that provide instructional support related to English Language Development and academic achievement for LEP students. Parent Involvement is an important part of implementing funded programs. Tulare City School District conducts the following parent involvement activities related to funded programs: 1. School site Council (SSC) – The SSC is composed of parents, students (secondary school) and school personnel. The SSC is responsible for developing, implementing, and evaluating the School Wide Plan programs. Members serve for one year and are elected by their peers. Elections for new members are held annually at the end of the school year. 2.

English Learner Advisory Committee (ELAC) – All schools enrolling 21 or more English Learners are required to form an ELAC. The ELAC is composed of parents and school personnel. The ELAC provides input and makes recommendations to the principal, staff, and SSC regarding services for English Learners. Members serve for one year. Parents elect parents. The ELAC is formed each year.

3.

Annual Title I Meeting – All schools receiving Title I Funds are required to hold an annual Title I Meeting in which all parents of participating students are invited. The purpose of the meeting is to explain the Title I program and services and to provide parents with an opportunity to have input in the planning and implementation of the Title I Program.

4.

District Advisory Committee (DAC) – DAC is an advisory committee for all programs in the Consolidated Application which are listed as follows: Title I, Title II and Title III.

5.

District English Learner Advisory Committee (DELAC) – Whenever there are 51 or more Ell students in a school district, a DELAC is formed consisting of at least one parent member from each ELAC. Other school and district level staff may be on the DELAC as long as the parents are in the majority.

WHAT IS A SCHOOL-PARENT COMPACT?

BUILDING PARTNERSHIPS 

Monthly PTO meetings

A School-Parent Compact for Achievement is an agreement that parents, students and teachers develop together. It explains how parents and teachers will work together to make sure all our students reach or exceed grade-level standards.



Tricky Tray Fundraiser in the fall



SSC/ELAC meetings throughout the year



Toy and Food drives during holiday season



Effective compacts:  Link to goals of the school improvement plan  Focus on students learning skills  Describe how teachers will help students develop those skills using high -quality curriculum and instruction  Share strategies parents can use at home  Explain how teachers and parents will communicate about student progress  Describe opportunities for parents to volunteer, observe, and participate in the classroom

JOINTLY DEVELOPED Every Spring this document is revised by the School Site Council. During this meeting students’ learning needs, based on current grade-level data, is reviewed. These discussions are data driven and include suggestions for home learning strategies by teachers, along with input from parents to make these strategies specific to their needs. Students at the middle schools also provide insight on ways to support their learning. PARENTS ARE WELCOME TO CONTRIBUTE COMMENTS AT ANY TIME.

In addition to the opportunities above, Mission Valley has many events throughout the year which are noted on our school website calendar. We use Parent Link and notes home to inform parents and students of special events. Parents are always welcome to volunteer after getting TCSD background clearance. The office can assist you with this. Feel free to contact us any time at (559) 685-7396.

SSC ELAC Monitor and Review March 1, 2016 A team of seven parents and school staff members conducted our annual monitor and review. We broke into three groups and visited classrooms at every grade level. The goal of this review was to find evidence of student engagement, varied classroom instruction, positive room environment, and Common Core instruction as outlined in our school wide plan. Our findings are included below. Student Engagement The team was very impressed with student engagement across all grade levels. Most classrooms were accustomed to working in groups or pairs. Students were on task whether they were working in small groups or being instructed whole class. When students were questioned about what they were working on they were able to explain the task. Due to this observation, it was noted that all tasks seemed to be engaging and grade level appropriate. Although actual Kagan structures were not observed, students were working well together in a cooperative and engaging manner which is the goal of Kagan structures. One observer noted that classrooms, “worked like clockwork.” Classroom Instruction Mission Valley teachers displayed evidence of quality instruction in a variety of ways. Some examples of whole class instruction included: modeling using direct instruction, Google Docs, instruction in the Educational Resource Center (ERC), language arts, and math instruction. Small groups included iPad usage, 95% chip kits, math and language arts activities. There was a good balance between whole group and small group instruction throughout all grade levels. The team saw evidence of Thinking Maps used in many areas of the curriculum. For example, a double bubble map was used to compare and contrast tornados and hurricanes, a brace map was used to show the parts for place value, and a circle map was used for informational writing. Students and teachers seem to be more comfortable using technology whether it was with Chromebooks, Promethean boards, slates, iPads, or PCs. Mission Valley’s teachers used a variety of instructional strategies which included student created journals and logs being used by students as references, creative learning centers using games to reinforce concepts, and note taking in multiple ways. Evidence of Positive Room Environment The overall impression of the classroom environment at Mission Valley was extremely positive. Student work from a variety of subject areas was displayed in every grade level. The team noted how creative the work was. Character Counts posters were displayed in all rooms and many teachers connect their classroom rules to the pillars. Students were friendly and eager to share with the team when asked about the tasks they were working on. Students were also polite, respectful and encouraging when working with classmates. One of the parents felt that the themes of the classrooms made them an inviting and comfortable place for students to learn. A parent stated, “I was impressed that the students knew the routines and their behavior was very good.”

Evidence of Common Core There was evidence of Common Core instruction in every classroom. In language arts we noted examples of:  Non-fiction text: articles, readers, Scholastic News, internet research  Literature circles  Vocabulary study including images, pictures, examples, and definitions  Rich teacher led discussions  Citing evidence to support answers  Writing and reading in a variety of genres  Poetry interpretation  Connecting written assignments to real world experiences

Math instruction continues to challenge students to explain their mathematical understanding with the implementation of Common Core. In the classrooms we saw:  Math journals  Number Talks  Students explaining their mathematical thinking (Even kindergarteners!)  A variety of manipulatives being used across the grade levels  Computation followed by reasoning, discussions, reflections, sketches, etc…  Real world problems  A progression of skills from grade to grade  WMP, WMV  Math centers, games, and activities

    

Commendations The team would like to recognize the Mission Valley staff for their efforts in the following: Embracing technology in the ERC and Chromebook rooms with new and innovative activities and projects The evidence of all subject areas displayed in the classroom The time and attention devoted to developing writing skills beginning in TK with short sentences to well written multi paragraph essays or narratives in upper grades The outstanding classroom management and positive tone throughout the school Parent quote: “The teachers are doing a great job!”
