LCAP: The Process Needs Assessment Stakeholder

Engagement Consult and Advise Writing the Draft Board Approval

Remember!The LCAP has to focus on improved or increased services to students.

Everything in the plan must

tie back to that overarching

goal.

This System for Learning

and Teaching is what we’re trying to

build.

Parts of the LCAP Section 1: Stakeholder Engagement (pages 1-

4). Describes state priorities, and lists the various

activities to engage stakeholders. Section 2: Goals and Progress Indicators

(pages 5-12). Describes areas of need, description of goals, and

what will be different or improved for students. LMUSD main areas include Student Achievement

and Success, Staff Achievement and Success, School Climate, and Stewardship of Resources.

Should align with and support Board of Education goals.

Parts of the LCAP, continued Section 3: Actions, Services, and Expenditures

(pages 13-20) This section contains strategies to increase or

improve services to students. Four funding sources: CCSS Implementation Funds,

LCFF Base Grant, LCFF Targeted/Supplemental Funds, Program Improvement Funds

Strategies represent efforts to address needs from various stakeholders.

Strategies are targeted to be high-yield and broadly applicable.

Most strategies have been well-received. Some have prompted further discussion. We’ll take a closer look at those.

LMUSD Goals for Targeted/Supplemental Funds are: Provide an intervention/ELD teacher for all elementary

sites and two high-need middle school sites to provide Level Two RtI services.

Provide a professional learning coach for all non-TAP sites for curriculum development and Level One RtI support.

Provide school site allocations for all sites to support students in the targeted subgroups.

Provide an ongoing budget for summer school. Important intervention for many below proficient students.

Add the PIQE (Parent Institute for Quality Education) Program to ten sites. Targeted to help parents of English Learners.

Support Early Childhood Education by adding preschool and transitional kindergarten where possible.

By providing more teachers and more money to sites, schools will be able to support all learners, including English

Learners, low-income, foster youth, and students with disabilities. We believe that all students should be supported,

every day.

Students Are the Center of It ALL!

It takes the combined effort of all the adults in our students’ lives to make them ready to meet the challenges of college

and career in the 21st Century.

How will this help our students? Professional Learning Coaches will be site-selected,

site-based, and site-focused. They’ll provide the other half of the CCSS

implementation equation: TIME and SUPPORT. By supporting curriculum development through

researching best practices and techniques, facilitating professional development, releasing teachers for collaboration or PD time, and analyzing student data, these teachers will serve other teachers at their site, and improve workplace efficiency.

We have a lot to do! CCSS, Next Gen Science, CAASPP, 21st Century Skills, Project Based Learning, etc.

Rigorous curriculum, strong instruction, and focused assessments mean higher achievement for all learners.

How will this help our students? The Professional Learning Coach, Intervention/ELD

teacher, grade level leaders or department heads, and principal will be the Instructional Leadership Team at the site.

Under the very large umbrella of curriculum mapping, site ILTs will drive the professional development, scheduling, interventions, and other student supports for the site.

Each site’s needs are different. The professionals at the site should determine how best to meet the needs of the students, while achieving the broad district goals of Common Core State Standards, 21st Century Skills, College and Career Pathways, and Project-Based Learning.

The district office will support the sites in achieving the site and board goals.

This cohesive, site-driven team will help us begin to focus our System for Learning and Teaching.

And, we’ll make progress in closing the achievement

gap at our sites.

And Now, A Very Special Guest!

County Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Julian Crocker

What Works to Close the Gap?

High expectations for all students Quality teachers for all students Universal preschool Principals as instructional leaders Ongoing professional development for staff Early intervention starting in kindergarten Careful monitoring of student progress
